I use Cobra LA as the Eastern European faction of a secret society. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, it's become more Russian Mafia than KGB now.
Kobra LA is short for Kolomna Bratva Lubyanka (Kolomna Brotherhood Lubyanka) Kolomna being the city where the East European faction broke off in 1177 Bratva meaning Brotherhood and Lubyanka being the site of KGB headquarters. Kobra and later Kobra La was founded in the Russian city of Kolomna in 1177 as a break away sect of the Society of the Coiled Serpent. With much of the Society distracted by the Crusades, the renegade sect sought peace with the Muslims and some favoured adding the Sultan Saladin to its ranks. Unfortunately he died in 1193 before they could induct him. Kobra existed for centuries helping guide and sculpt Russian politics and came into significant power when one of its members Peter the Great found the Russian Empire in 1721. The society was undone in the Bolshevik rebellion in 1917. There are rumours that Lenin himself was a member and came to find the society’s goals abhorrent. With Russia plunged into civil war, the society fled to France but returned just before WWII and began to ingratiate itself into the politburo and the KGB, once its greatest nemesis. The fortress Kolomna Kremlin was built from 1525-1531 by Tsar Vasily III. Golobulus (Anatoly Golubkhov ) Anatoly Golubkhov was born in Kolomna, he joined the KGB in the 1970’s and rose very quickly through the ranks. He ruthlessly became the leader of Kobra by amassing a large private army and using his KGB ties to rid himself of all threats. As the Soviet Union began to collapse, he quickly seized control of much of Russia’s criminal underground and buying state assets to refashion himself as a successful Industrialist and ruthless leader of the Russian Mafia. In recent times, Golobulus as he calls himself has begun to reclaim his family’s titles and land. He fancies himself a modern day Tsar and refers to his private army as his ‘Royal Guard’. I'm totally adding this to my Joeverse. Awesome.

Thanks guys,
Yeah, Tank. Golobulus doesn't have a tail. My conceit is that every one that has come face to face with him and survived was under psychotropic drugs that he deliberately uses to confuse and confound his enemies. Under the influence of the drugs, part truth serum / part hallucinogen, victims will think they see 'Organic technology' and when Golobulus sits in his very ornate throne, he can appear to be half man, half snake. It adds to his mystique and has been a very effective weapon of Psychological Warfare. |

I'm going to use the Renegades Troopers as Viktor Khalikhan's troopers.
Just need a name for his organization.

So I'll be returning to my stories at the end of the month and in the process I'm streamlining my Joeverse.
I had made the decision that for it to be in my 'verse I needed to have a physical figure representation. But since I've changed my collecting philosophy, which will mean at the end of the month I'll have a ton of Joe related stuff up for sale, having a physical figure for all the characters just won't be practical. So now I'm back to using all the available figures. Which has helped me get my Joe forces to the level I want them at, and I'll have to force myself to keep it fairly small.

Part of my organization is a legitimate corporation, Omega Corp, that is headed by Mike Powers (from Adventure Team).
Omega Corp makes money for the Joes to function. My Joe team is pretty independent of the government, and there are reasons for it that will become apparent in the stories. Omega Corp also provides a means for the Joe's intel operatives to move around the world freely. It also allows the Joe's to move equipment around using Omega Corp facilities. The Hub, the Joe's seaport, is an Omega Corp facilitiy. The Joe's airfield is also. The G.I. Jane, captained by Cutter, is registered under Omega Corp. Brainstorm (from IDW) has made alot of inventions that are Omega Corp's primary means of income.

So where did you come up with the idea for Omega Corp? I'm not familiar with it nor have I paid much attention to the history or storyline of Adventure Team.
