I do believe that somewhere in the marvel comics it said that the Freds were meant to look like him - They aren't by any means perfect though - but I figured it was a call-back to a real person we know as Saddam and his impersonators/body doubles.
It's quite a sound theory - and people growing mustaches and pony tails or coloring their hair to hide identity isn't that far fetched. I personally think that all of these are Cobra Commander unmasked. I wonder what his real name is: John Smith perhaps? (the later story where we see CC flash back to his surviving being shot confirmed it for me) Rationale for it is easy enough. Bear in mind that Cobra was initally a business scheme not unlike Amway. Get a few guys that can imatate him, preferably with legal or business degrees, who can do sales seminars building up capital in the formitive years of Cobra. |

In the sotry when he returns from his "death" in the original Marvel run, Cobra Commander was drawn looking like the Freds, which I thought was really cool, he had an army of look a likes. The Marvel said that was a mistake by the artist.

Cobra commander is an average Joe with Average Joe looks. He won't be noticed in a crowd. He is not a pretty boy, which is good for good guys and bad for bad guys because he won't deceive rich women to get his dough.

I agree that it was a good idea for him to look like Fred as well as thinking they might to replace him if they knew what he look like. Fred were all made to look good looking and so no one could tell the differences. I am surprised his wife and Billy did. Did the Freds know what he look like or not? Was this his original face or not?
