Joe</a>, however, there are several internal power struggles within the group. </p> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Cobra_Commander" title="Cobra Commander">Cobra Commander</a></b> – The leader and founder of the Cobra organization. His face is mostly hidden, either with a hood, with only his eyes visible, or with a featureless, high-tech battle helmet. In the <a href="/wiki/Sunbow_Entertainment" title="Sunbow Entertainment">Sunbow</a> cartoon, this concealment was said to be used in order to hide his inhuman disfigurement, but it was discovered later that it was actually done to maintain the secret of his civilian identity – he was revealed to be an agent from a race of reptilian serpent people known as "Cobra-La". In the comic, he is regarded as the most dangerous man on Earth because of the extent of his ability to attract followers. Only the <a href="/wiki/Baroness_(G.I._Joe)" title="Baroness (G.I. Joe)">Baroness</a> and <a href="/wiki/Destro" title="Destro">Destro</a> have seen his face.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Serpentor" title="Serpentor">Serpentor</a></b> – The Cobra <a href="/wiki/Emperor" title="Emperor">Emperor</a>, created through <a href="/wiki/Cloning" title="Cloning">cloning</a> research done by <a href="/wiki/Doctor_Mindbender" title="Doctor Mindbender">Doctor Mindbender</a>. The process used <a href="/wiki/DNA" title="DNA">DNA</a> extracted from the remains of ruthless military leaders, including <a href="/wiki/Julius_Caesar" title="Julius Caesar">Julius Caesar</a>, <a href="/wiki/Napoleon" title="Napoleon">Napoleon Bonaparte</a>, <a href="/wiki/Attila" title="Attila">Attila the Hun</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vlad_the_Impaler" title="Vlad the Impaler">Vlad Tepes</a> (cartoon only), <a href="/wiki/Alexander_the_Great" title="Alexander the Great">Alexander the Great</a>, <a href="/wiki/Hannibal" title="Hannibal">Hannibal</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Genghis_Khan" title="Genghis Khan">Genghis Khan</a>. In the Sunbow TV series, G.I. Joe member <a href="/wiki/Sgt._Slaughter_(G.I._Joe)" title="Sgt. Slaughter (G.I. Joe)">Sgt. Slaughter</a>. In the comics, <a href="/wiki/Storm_Shadow_(G.I._Joe)" title="Storm Shadow (G.I. Joe)">Storm Shadow</a> is the tenth and only live source of DNA instead of Sgt. Slaughter. In addition to his genetic disposition, an early experiment also gave him access to the brain patterns of G.I. Joe <a href="/wiki/High-altitude_military_parachuting" title="High-altitude military parachuting">HALO</a> jumper <a href="/wiki/Rip_Cord_(G.I._Joe)" title="Rip Cord (G.I.

In the comic Serpentor was killed by <a href="/wiki/Zartan" title="Zartan">Zartan</a>, only to be revived by a Cobra splinter group known as the Coil, and then killed again by Cobra Commander. In the <a href="/wiki/Sunbow_Entertainment" title="Sunbow Entertainment">Sunbow</a> cartoon Serpentor was created to supplant Cobra Commander as the supreme leader of Cobra, using Cobra Commander as his willing scapegoat for his failed attempts to rule the world. It was later revealed that Serpentor was created at the behest of Cobra-La.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Destro" title="Destro">Destro</a></b>, or James McCullen Destro XXIV – A <a href="/wiki/Scottish_people" title="Scottish people">Scotsman</a> who is depicted as wearing a metal mask, which was enabled by a form of nano-tech or liquid metal. In the cartoon, the mouth of his mask moves. Destro, an arms dealer, often attempts to usurp leadership of Cobra. Destro is the hereditary leader of M.A.R.S. (Military Armaments Research Syndicate) and uses his personal army, the Iron Grenadiers, to start conflicts in order to sell weapons to both sides. Destro has a warped sense of honor and a grudging respect for <a href="/wiki/G.I._Joe" title="G.I. Joe">G.I. Joe</a>.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Baroness_(G.I._Joe)" title="Baroness (G.I. Joe)">Baroness</a></b> or Baroness Anastasia Cisarovna – The Baroness is a daughter of European aristocrats who became terrorists after their son (the Baroness' brother) was murdered. Her brother had been in a political hot spot aiding refugees when he was taken hostage alongside the group of relief workers he had volunteered for. US Army Rangers had attempted to free the hostages, but the mission was botched and resulted in the brother's death. In the original Marvel comics, she blamed <a href="/wiki/Snake_Eyes_(G.I._Joe)" title="Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe)">Snake Eyes</a> for his death. The Baroness serves as Cobra's director of intelligence, and is romantically involved with Destro.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Mindbender" title="Doctor Mindbender">Doctor Mindbender</a></b> – A <a href="/wiki/Mad_scientist" title="Mad scientist">mad scientist</a> and former dentist, he created several mind-control devices, and was also an expert on <a href="/wiki/Genetics" title="Genetics">genetic</a> manipulation. He is responsible for the creation of Serpentor and the <a href="/wiki/B.A.T._(G.I._Joe)" class="mw-redirect" title="B.A.T. (G.I. Joe)">B.A.T.s</a>, as well as perfecting the Brainwave Scanner. Though usually depicted as being quite muscular, Mindbender is portrayed as being cowardly and preferring to avoid physical confrontations.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Tomax_and_Xamot" title="Tomax and Xamot">Tomax and Xamot</a></b> – Twin brothers who lead the <a href="/wiki/Crimson_Guard" title="Crimson Guard">Crimson Guard</a> and are the respectable corporate face of Cobra. When not engaged in field missions, Tomax and Xamot are found wearing suits and ties, managing Cobra's business affairs. The brothers share an <a href="/wiki/Empathy" title="Empathy">empathic</a> connection. While this is often useful, as it allows them to communicate wordlessly and finish each other's sentences, it is also a liability, as they feel each other's pain during fights. Tomax and Xamot are mirror images of each other, except for Xamot having a scar on the right side (cartoon) of his face, portrayed on the left side in the 1985 action figure. The twins run a corporation named Extensive Enterprises and are known more for their skills in the boardroom rather than on the battlefield.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Storm_Shadow_(G.I._Joe)" title="Storm Shadow (G.I. Joe)">Storm Shadow</a></b>, or Thomas "Tommy" Arashikage – A <a href="/wiki/Ninja" title="Ninja">ninja</a> trained in martial arts who serves as both an assassin and bodyguard for Cobra. His origin varies depending on the source – in various cartoons, he is a cold-blooded villain and unrepentant killer. In Marvel Comics (which reveals that he served in the US military in Vietnam with Snake Eyes and <a href="/wiki/Stalker_(G.I._Joe)" title="Stalker (G.I. Joe)">Stalker</a>), he joined Cobra in order to gather evidence and clear his name after having been framed for the murder of the Hard Master by Cobra operative Zartan. Storm Shadow eventually leaves Cobra and becomes a member of G.I. Joe, though captured and brainwashed by Cobra Commander to once again serve Cobra. He then breaks free and rejoins G.I. Joe. In the Sunbow/Marvel cartoon, Storm Shadow was depicted as a rival to <a href="/wiki/Spirit_(G.I._Joe)" title="Spirit (G.I. Joe)">Spirit</a> and later <a href="/wiki/Quick_Kick_(G.I._Joe)" title="Quick Kick (G.I. Joe)">Quick Kick</a> instead of Snake Eyes. In the DIC cartoon, Storm Shadow only joined Cobra to find out who dishonored his clan before defecting to G.I. Joe.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Zartan" title="Zartan">Zartan</a></b> – The leader of the Dreadnoks, a master spy and assassin. He is a master of disguise, often literally morphing into the exact physical form of the person he seeks to impersonate (an ability attributed to a series of mysterious genetic experiments he endured). In most storylines, Zartan is also capable of changing his skin color to blend in with his background. His special ability is disrupted by sunlight.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Minor_command">Minor command</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cobra_(G.I._Joe)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Minor command"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Major_Bludd" title="Major Bludd">Major Bludd</a></b> – Major Sebastian Bludd is an Australian <a href="/wiki/Mercenary" title="Mercenary">mercenary</a> with extensive combat experience, who sometimes works for Cobra.

A mercenary and assassin, Firefly offers no guarantees or refunds. He is portrayed as an expert in all types of explosive ordnance and demolition materials. He is also the faceless master of the Koga ninja clan.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Doctor_Venom" title="Doctor Venom">Doctor Venom</a></b> – A Cobra scientist who played an important role in the first two years of the comic book story.

He died after the real Cobra Commander made his return in the series.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Black_Out_(G.I._Joe)" class="mw-redirect" title="Black Out (G.I.

Nearly all of them appear masked in order to be anonymous and widely diversified according to specialties and functions. Some of the more prominent include: </p> <ul><li><b><a href="/wiki/Cobra_Troopers" title="Cobra Troopers">Cobra Troopers</a></b> – These are the basic infantry soldiers introduced in 1982, equipped with normal military gear (as opposed to the more hi-tech gear of the Vipers), with Cobra Officers as the field leaders. They are featured on both the cartoon and comic series.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Crimson_Guard" title="Crimson Guard">Crimson Guard</a></b> - Led by Tomax and Xamot, these elite soldiers were first introduced to the series in 1985. It is said that in addition to intense military training, they are required to have a degree in either accounting or law, and are often used in deep cover operations, posing as civilians or politicians. Later toys expanded on the Crimson Guard concept with the release of figures such as the Crimson Guard Immortals and Commanders, as well as group-specific vehicles. As another part of their deep cover operations, many Crimson Guardsmen undergo plastic surgery in order to adopt identical features in case one <i>Seigie</i> (the phonetic pronunciation of "C.G") is required to replace another in a public cover. The Crimson Guard also maintain Cobra's legal business fronts.</li> <li><b>Cobra Vipers</b> – Introduced in 1986 as a replacement for the Cobra Troopers, these infantry soldiers complement the Cobra Troopers in both the cartoon and comic series. The concept, originally introduced in 1985 with the introduction of Tele-Vipers (communication experts) quickly evolved into a suffix for all future Cobra troops (such as Air-Viper, Ice-Vipers, Motor-Vipers, Techno-Vipers, etc.). With regards to the original adjective-less Vipers, <a href="/wiki/Hasbro" title="Hasbro">Hasbro</a> has often alternated between establishing the Vipers as the entry-level position into Cobra, or for them being the elite of Cobra's ground troops as far as them being equal to or above the regular blue shirt troops.</li> <li><b>B.A.T.s</b> – The Battle Android Troopers were introduced in 1986 and are used extensively in the cartoon series to present an army that the heroes could gun down without killing living beings. Intended as an alternative to living soldiers, the androids are hazardous to both friend and foe because of poor eye sensors.</li> <li><b>Python Patrol</b> – Although their origin differs in the cartoon and comic series, the Python Patrol is an elite unit of Cobra, hand-selected by Cobra Commander (in the comic, they were hand-selected by his impostor). What makes this group stand out is their use of stealth coating technology, masking their vehicles and uniforms from most forms of electronic detection.</li> <li><b><a href="/wiki/Night_Creepers" title="Night Creepers">Night Creepers</a></b> – A syndicate of hi-tech ninjas and mercenaries hired by Cobra as spies or assassins. They made an appearance in both the cartoon and the comic series, where they become a recurring enemy of the <a href="/wiki/Ninja_Force" class="mw-redirect" title="Ninja Force">Ninja Force</a>.</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Bases">Bases</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Cobra_(G.I._Joe)&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Bases"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Cobra maintains a number of bases around the world. In several media incarnations, Cobra's primary base is Cobra Island. In the Marvel Comics series, Cobra has bases, underground cells, and even whole communities scattered across the globe. The following are several specific locations with names: </p> <ul><li><b>Broca Beach</b> – After the destruction of Springfield, Cobra created another town as their secret base of operations in America. This one was transformed from an abandoned seaside town. Former residents of the destroyed Springfield town were relocated here.</li> <li><b>Castle Destro</b> – Destro's fortress in Scotland. Training ground for the Iron Grenadiers. Though destroyed by Cobra Commander, a new castle was presumably reconstructed some years later.</li> <li><b>Cobra Citadel</b>, also known as the Silent Castle – Cobra's base of operations in Eastern Europe, located in Trans-Carpathia. Owned primarily by Destro, he incorporated many secret passageways and features into the castle's design including the ability to shift its configuration (through a complex series of levels, pulleys, and gears) into a near-exact likeness of Castle Destro – both internally and externally. Although he initially gave up the rights to the castle to Destro, Cobra Commander later decided he wanted it back as it was rather close to his operations in Darklonia. Its design was first featured in "The MASS Device" TV miniseries.</li> <li><b>Cobra Consulate</b> – A high-rise in New York City used by Cobra as an embassy and base of operations after Cobra Island was declared a <a href="/wiki/Sovereign_nation" class="mw-redirect" title="Sovereign nation">sovereign nation</a>. Its upper levels were destroyed in a battle with G.I. Joe, and the building was abandoned by Cobra for some time (save for a few late-night top-secret meetings). In the Devil's Due comics it was rebuilt and used once again.</li> <li><b>Cobra Island</b> – The primary base of Cobra operations. It was created after a massive man-made earthquake. Cobra lawyers, well-prepared, moved in and had it declared a sovereign nation. It was the battlefield for the Cobra civil war and the battle against The Coil. After Cobra disappeared for several years, the island was seized by the U.N. It then came under the control of The Coil, then Cobra, and was finally destroyed by a nuclear warhead, which also killed every member of the Coil.</li> <li><b>Helicarrier</b>, also known as the Cobra Air Ship – A flying aircraft carrier from the Sunbow cartoon series. It served as a mobile base for Cobra until it was lost in a battle over a matter-antimatter device, when it rammed G.I. Joe's conventional aircraft carrier. Both carriers sank to the bottom of the sea. Another helicarrier was commissioned, but was also destroyed over the skies of Liberty Island in New York City.</li> <li><b>Millville</b> – A steel town that fell into economic ruin after the closing of the local plant. When Cobra descends en masse on it one day, the residents are swayed by Cobra Commander's promise of quick wealth and prosperity for those who submit to his rule. However, Cobra immediately subjugates the town via a brainwashing device, leading to the formation of a local resistance. Combat with numerous <a href="/wiki/Autobots" class="mw-redirect" title="Autobots">Autobots</a> and <a href="/wiki/Decepticons" class="mw-redirect" title="Decepticons">Decepticons</a> result in Cobra ultimately abandoning the town and its citizens.</li> <li><b>Monolith Base</b> – A massive mountain complex located in Badhikistan. It served as Cobra's main base but was taken over in an all-out assault from G.I. Joe.</li> <li><b>Springfield</b> – A small rather anonymous town in the U.S. which Cobra secretly operated as a base. The town was poor and desperate when the man who would become Cobra Commander arrived. He became the town's savior and it was there that he started Cobra. Many covert operations were held there, including the creation of Serpentor, which in turn led directly to the town's population being evacuated to Cobra Island when the Joes confronted Cobra. In the two-part Sunbow-produced episode <i>There's No Place Like Springfield</i>, the town existed on an island and was known as Temple Alpha. Springfield was actually a facade for an underground Cobra training facility. However, unlike the comics, the town above ground was populated primarily by synthoids.</li> <li><b>Extensive Enterprises</b> – A global conglomerate based out of the twin Enterprise Towers in Enterprise City. Tomax and Xamot serve as its owners and co-CEOs.</li> <li><b>M.A.R.S.</b> – Military Armaments Research Systems/Syndicate – a legitimate weapons manufacturing firm headquartered in <a href="/wiki/Callander" title="Callander">Callander</a>, Scotland. Destro is the current owner and CEO.</li> <li><b>Terror Drome</b> – In the <a href="/wiki/G.I._Joe:_A_Real_American_Hero_(Marvel_Comics)" title="G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero (Marvel Comics)">comic series</a> from <a href="/wiki/Marvel_Comics" title="Marvel Comics">Marvel Comics</a>, the Terror Drome is a small pre-fab fortress, sold by Cobra to third world countries and developing nations for defense.

Springfield was a perfect place to start the organization, as the town itself had fallen on hard times and the population was disillusioned. Soon, the organization was growing with the entry of like-minded individuals from all over the country. Much of Cobra's early funding came from <a href="/wiki/Pyramid_scheme" title="Pyramid scheme">pyramid schemes</a> and other semi-legitimate business plans, and that financial success allowed a gradual and intense takeover.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In a very short time, Cobra evolved from a business into a <a href="/wiki/Paramilitary" title="Paramilitary">paramilitary</a> movement. Motivated by greed and power, the group soon expanded all over the country, operating in secret, engaging in terrorism to achieve their objectives. By the time the U.S. government recognized Cobra as a threat, the organization had already gained footholds as a powerful private army and terrorist organization around the world. </p><p>Many of its members (especially those in the elite Crimson Guard units) lead seemingly normal lives, supporting Cobra covertly. Cobra attracted members with the promise of fast financial rewards and power for those willing to be ruthless enough. It also offered a world of order and strength, with its "model community" of Springfield being one example of the Cobra ideal. </p><p>Cobra would eventually achieve a temporary legitimacy by the artificial creation of Cobra Island, which was recognized as an independent nation by the international community. This allowed Cobra to have diplomatic facilities in the United States via a Cobra Consulate building acquired in New York City. </p><p>During Serpentor's tenure, Cobra's primary source of income came from arms sales to <a href="/wiki/Third_World" title="Third World">Third World</a> nations. This led to a clash with Destro's M.A.R.S.

When he reemerged, he had organized a new group called Cobra and renamed himself as Cobra Commander. The Red Jackal tracked down Cobra Commander with the intention of killing him to avenge the treachery he had performed. On the brink of throttling the Commander, Jackal succumbed to stun gas and passed out, not quite completing his sentence declaring his intention to destroy the former Baron Ironblood. Admiring his tenacity and resourcefulness, Cobra Commander elected not to kill the man, instead allowing him to continue to serve. To remind Jackal that, in the end, he failed to eliminate Cobra Commander, the leader renamed him 'Destro' — the last word he spoke as his former self.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

In a story entitled "The Most Dangerous Man in the World", it was to be revealed that Cobra was originally organized around the political theories of a <a href="/wiki/Karl_Marx" title="Karl Marx">Karl Marx</a>/<a href="/wiki/Friedrich_Nietzsche" title="Friedrich Nietzsche">Friedrich Nietzsche</a>-type figure, whom Cobra Commander locked away when the Commander began <a href="/wiki/Fascist_(epithet)" class="mw-redirect" title="Fascist (epithet)">corrupting</a> the Cobra philosophies from their original principles.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (November 2017)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> A first-season two-part episode, <i>Worlds Without End</i>, portrays an alternate reality in which Cobra has established control over the United States (and apparently all of the world). Although Cobra's reign is totalitarian, it does not use its power to promote any ideology beyond glorifying its leadership, and there is no sign of Cobra-La or other inhuman backing. </p><p>None of the senior Cobra leaders, except Destro and the Baroness, likes the others. During the encounter with the Gamesmaster, Zartan accuses Destro of kidnapping Cobra Commander; Destro refuses to bargain for Zartan's release from G. I. Joe, and regards Cobra Commander with contempt; the Baroness disbelieves Cobra Commander's promise that he will send help after escaping via helicopter, and prefers G.I. Joe member <a href="/wiki/Lady_Jaye" title="Lady Jaye">Lady Jaye</a> to use the vehicle; and Cobra Commander only trusts himself. Even after Cobra's complete victory in "Worlds Without End", distrustful rivalry between Cobra Commander and Destro persists, bringing the regime to the brink of civil war. </p><p>According to the recruitment brochures for Cobra's troops, they provide excellent dental. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sgt._Savage_and_the_Screaming_Eagles"><i>Sgt.
