Did you ever like Serpentor when he was first introduced?

I was watching Teletoon Retro the other night, and Rise, Serpentor Rise was on, and it was cool and all, but I dunno, could be just me... but I never liked Serpentor and I still don't. I was Cobra Commander loyalist through and through and I hated seeing our coward upstaged by some test tube baby.

What did you think of him as kids?

I was into the comic version, and thought it was lame when they changed up the origin for the cartoon; a blank clone floating in a giant test tube was WAY cooler than the red blob of living monster slime... Also the comic didnt go all crazy with the This I command crap....and never liked how ALL of Cobra pretty much took Serpys side....(human, comic)
CC all the way

I didn't care for him as a kid. I still don't think of him as the leader of Cobra. But I like him a little more now.

Sure, I loved him. '85 and '86 were the big Joe years for me, so he was the man for his time and place. He fit right in there.

Serpentor rocks! Loved him as a kid and still do.

I also like the Comic Serpentor much more! and i liked how the comic introduced him! i made up my own story on where Serpentor fits into my Collection,but that is another thread post!

Serpentor is a great example of an awesome idea that was poorly executed. When I first heard about him & how Dr. Mindbender created him I was all for it. I raced out to find the toy. It was so damn cool. But then I saw how crappy the toy was & then saw him in the cartoon & I couldn't stand him after that. His outfit was goofy as hell & I couldn't stand the constant "THIS I COMMAND" crap.

Back then you could never find a Cobra Commander, or Snake-eyes.....

So he was a good substitute although he did look a little odd to me even as a kid.

The new 25th Serpentor is much better though!

I agree with both of you. I really liked the idea, but the finished product was too silly looking for me. He was definitely better in the comic than the cartoon.
