Not sure if I worded my question correctly, but I aware that he is considered a weapons manufacturer/business man, but was he technically an engineer or scientist? I know that the Renegade cartoon seem to portray him as an engineer/executive type. Thoughts?

the comics seemed to make him more of an executive than a lunatic engineer building the stuff.

I was always under the impression that he used stolen tech and modified it to his liking.

Destro, personally, inherited the weapons manufacturing business from his family. So, as CapBritian stated, Destro would be more like an executive with knowledge in the business. The comic book really never portrayed him as an engineer.

If I remember correctly Scrap Iron either engineered or built stuff for Destro.

I always thought his PMS was gangsta. Secondary specialty: pimp.

Destro was both a terrorist and weapons/manufacturer/supplier. He was always both a warlord and war profiteer.
Cobra recruited a lot of like minded or sympathetic to the cause mercenary types in the early filecards. MARS was like the largest manufacturer of state-of-the-art military weaponry, which he sold to both sides of any conflict(which he often instigated) as long as they had the cash. But again, he was Fascist with dreams of world conquest and being a world conqueror type, he had a certain duality. |

I don't think he really even had an MOS? It seems like he was "enemy weapons supplier" at the beginning, then kind of fell into senior leadership, as a permanent member of Cobra. He didn't oversee Vipers or Crimson Guards or anything like that, he was just the guy in charge of new weapons from his MARS company (not sure what happened to that company once word got out that the owner was a member of Cobra). I'm guessing it was "nationalized" by Cobra and just became their own development branch.
But in my brain, as a kid, Scrap-Iron answered to him, long before we had the Iron Grenadiers. |
