In my personal canon, The Serpentor project was "sold" to CC under the guise of being a Super Soldier program. Why would Cobra Commander authorise/fund the creation of his own replacement? Conflict arises when he figures out Serpentor's true purpose... my Serpentor doesn't get to just step into the leadership of COBRA, though.. I'm going to make him work for it.

CC believing he would be the Ultimate Soldier, only to turn out to be the Ultimate Leader is how the comic treated him...

None of the above
I see Cobra as a cult with Serpentor as the puppet/religious leader of Cobra. Someone who rallies the troops and dishes out assignments to cell leaders to take back to their respective homes. It "justifies" the elaborate snake garb or ceremonial attire. His back story as written by Cobra Command could be the same as a resurrected Caesar but its just another level of the fiction to brainwash/convince the troopers. |

I use Serpentor as the head of the Eastern half of the globe for the organization, anything east of Europe, and at times crossing over into eastern Russia and it's neighboring nations to the east. His relationship with Cobra Commander is like that of Octavian to Mark Anthony. Cesar is in charge , as is Cobra Commander but Serpentors weight in the east makes him the biggest threat to CC. Also CC's western reign is considered the easier more cushy half of the empire as Serpentor's men are battle tested daily on a much more dangerous and unstable front. This gives Serpentor a considerable amount of respect as a war chief while CC is viewed as the more polished diplomat. Both are severely dangerous in their own regard and Serpentor is CC's ever haunting concern.

I have him as a 1986 figure, complete with air chariot, however Cobra Commander is the one true leader of my Cobra forces.

Serpentor I thought was always pretty great, in nearly all versions. Devils Due, IDW, the Hama comics, the Cartoon (and from what I watched he was not used in many episodes that I remember). plus he had a cool outfit and clearly had mood swings and identity issues during the comics and cartoons. his demise in the original comics was much more epic in contrast to Operation Dragonfire in the cartoon. really. for the longer time I thought he was killed off in the movie but I think he was largely in those cartoons to set up Destro, Baroness, and CC back into power. Plus he was a mail in forever so they may have been a way to sneak in.
Anyhow. I would I guess consider him an amalgam of all of those portrayals.

I think of him as an upstart that overthrew Cobra in "real time" (so, around 1986), but was later killed by Cobra Commander and the organization reverted back to normal. Cobra Commander forgives Mindbender lol.
