@stanleyteriaca2184

So true, since it is a television series for kids. In the comics, his henchmen are compitant.

THis video barely goes into Cobra Commander's origin story. Here's the full story (from the marvel version). Cobra Commander was originally used car salesman from a fictional town in Staten Island called Springfield, not to be confused with the real-life Springfield, Illinois. Springfield's government was corrupt and put enormous pressure on working families and local business owners in favor of wealthy outsiders. When Cobra Commander's business fell on hard times, the government refused to help him. The future commander took the loss of his business very hard and wound up driving his wife and son away. He blamed the American government for his misfortune, although it was only partially to blame. Around this time, the Commander's brother died in a car accident that also killed Snake-Eyes' family. Cobra Commander's vendetta against Snake Eyes led to hard master's death and Storm Shadow being framed. Cobra Commander realized that he could abuse the system as well and began his bid for power. Using his incredible talent as an orator, the commander swayed the residents of Springfield to his cause, officially starting the cobra organization.

My favorite part of his original origin was that what got him into starting Cobra was a need for revenge for his brother Dan. From Wikipedia "When Dan returned from Vietnam, he displayed deep psychological trauma, and took to self-destructive behavior, resulting in his death in a car collision with another family. Devastated by the loss of his brother, the future Cobra Commander blamed the family's survivor: another war veteran, against whom the young Cobra Commander formed an elaborate revenge scheme." That soldier he blamed was Snake Eyes. Cobra Commander's brother killed Snake Eyes' family as they were on their way to the airport to pick Snake Eyes up when he returned from Vietnam.

this is something i didnt think i needed. but something im glad i got

Hail Cobra! Hail Cobra Commander!

Wait, when they change he's origin, as far as i remember the Cobra Commander was the young brother of the man (a vietnam vet i think) who car crashed and killed Snake Eyes family, and because of that he started the cobra organization (first as a ponzy scheme and sort of a cult) to get he's revenge and eventually take over the world, was much later when he started the "Fred" program to get duplicates in case he died.

We're getting a "Snake Eyes" film

Some of the best comic stories in the alternate (IDW) universe were of past Commanders, including a female Commander in medieval Japan and my favorite, the easily underestimated gardener who led Cobra in the mid-20th century. This patient, calm imperialist is a much more chilling character than the emotionally weak, Hitlerian despot of the Real American Hero universe. He thinks of the world in the same terms as he would of pulling weeds, poisoning pests, and shaping the growth of plants, all to complete his design. When he sees a need to put down insubordination, he is not impulsive, but waits until the moment is ripe, then crushes the offender, whose arrogance is contrasted with the humility needed to attain power.

Would've been better if you spoke on how the story lines of Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow , and Zartan all connect in the original comic book series.

Hama never wanted any of the more fantastical elements in his comics. He was forced to integrate characters like the psychic twins Tomax & Xamot and Serpentor. When they came to him with Cobra-la, he put his foot down and said absolutely not, that was too far and he had to draw the line somewhere. Also please note that the video is not titled "Cartoon origins" or "Movie origins" it is called "COMIC BOOK ORIGINS"!

"We'll create our own PSAs!"

I loved the UK Version In later editions of the Battle Action Force series, Ironblood betrays the Red Shadows, leaking information about their bases and intentions to the UN. As the Shadows are under attack, Ironblood goes into hiding and constructs a new identity for himself, becoming Cobra Commander, and creating Cobra as a new enemy force. The continuity of the storyline was maintained as the Black Major (a former traitor from Action Force), Red Laser and Red Vulture re-grouped the Red Shadows and sought revenge against Cobra Commander and the newly amalgamated 'AF' whilst prominent Red Shadow character Red Jackal was given his own storyline, transforming to Destro and joining Cobra. Additional storylines saw the Red Shadows fighting alongside the Nazis against both Cobra and Action Force. In Showdown for the Shadows, the Shadows make their final appearance.
