I believe the original cartoon version and Marvel comics , he was a sociopath. Sociopaths are made while psychopaths are born that way. What do you think?

The primary difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is that the former has no moral compass (cannot differentiate between right and wrong) and the latter understands the difference between right and wrong...but just does not care.
That said, I think he is a psychopath. |

Assuming this analysis is correct, I think Cobra Commander from the TV series would be a sociopath.
From that site: Quote:
Do They Have a Conscience?
A key difference between a psychopath and a sociopath is whether he has a conscience, the little voice inside that lets us know when we’re doing something wrong, says L. Michael Tompkins, EdD. He's a psychologist at the Sacramento County Mental Health Treatment Center. A psychopath doesn’t have a conscience. If he lies to you so he can steal your money, he won’t feel any moral qualms, though he may pretend to. He may observe others and then act the way they do so he’s not “found out,” Tompkins says. A sociopath typically has a conscience, but it’s weak. He may know that taking your money is wrong, and he might feel some guilt or remorse, but that won’t stop his behavior. Both lack empathy, the ability to stand in someone else’s shoes and understand how they feel. But a psychopath has less regard for others, says Aaron Kipnis, PhD, author of The Midas Complex. Someone with this personality type sees others as objects he can use for his own benefit. ... 'Cold-Hearted Psychopath, Hot-Headed Sociopath' It’s not easy to spot a psychopath. They can be intelligent, charming, and good at mimicking emotions. They may pretend to be interested in you, but in reality, they probably don’t care. “They’re skilled actors whose sole mission is to manipulate people for personal gain,” Tompkins says. Sociopaths are less able to play along. They make it plain that they’re not interested in anyone but themselves. They often blame others and have excuses for their behavior. Some experts see sociopaths as “hot-headed.” They act without thinking how others will be affected. Psychopaths are more “cold-hearted” and calculating. They carefully plot their moves, and use aggression in a planned-out way to get what they want. If they’re after more money or status in the office, for example, they’ll make a plan to take out any barriers that stand in the way, even if it’s another person’s job or reputation.

Maybe he's just an ambitious salesman turned politician?

From that site: While at first blush you'd have to say that Cobra Commander has no conscience at all (hence, he would be a psychopath), the behavior patterns described in that article for the psychopath model don't fit the behaviors seen in the TV series. There is no subterfuge involved in Cobra Commander's persona in the TV series. He doesn't try to pass himself off as normal to trick people. He's right out in the open with it. He blames others constantly. He doesn't lay low and calculate at all. |

Ok so lets just do an online test by pretending to be cartoon CC
(Yes I can do that I know him well) Here is the test and the results: CC scored a 16/25 s1. Are you superficially charming and intelligent? Yes 2. Do you have delusions or other signs of irrational thinking? Yes 3. Are you overly nervous or anxious? Yes 4. Are you generally reliable? No s5. Do you regularly tell lies or say insincere things? Yes s6. Do you feel remorse or shame? No s7. Is your behavior antisocial for no good reason? No 8. Do you have poor judgment, and fail to learn from experience? Yes s9. Are you pathologically egocentric, and incapable of love? Yes s10. Do you experience emotions like most other people do? Yes 11. Do you lack insight? Yes s12. Do you often have to fake your actions and responses to others? Yes 13. Does your partying behavior get out of hand? No s14. Do you make false suicide threats? No s15. Is your sex life impersonal, trivial or poorly integrated? Yes 16. Have you failed to follow a life plan? No To add some context to your score, if you answered "YES" to questions 1, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15 and "NO" to the rest, you may exhibit the symptoms of a sociopath. Sociopaths are: antisocial and lacking empathy conniving, manipulative, deceitful, and dishonest control freaks charming and smooth and use those social skills to get their way rule-breakers and risk-takers and commonly have repeated clashes with the law and thus a criminal record Scoring the Sociopath Test: There are a total of 25 possible points. If you scored 16 or higher, you may exhibit strong sociopathic tendencies.

Here is a different test that scores the likelihood of being a psychopath.
CC scored a 23. 1. Most would describe me as charming and nonchalant — I can turn my charm on and off like a faucet. This is definitely me 2. I do what I want, when I want, the moment the impulse strikes me, regardless of what others want. This is definitely me 3. If something goes wrong or turns out badly, it’s not my fault. This is definitely me 4. I’ve gotten into legal or criminal trouble as an adult (not just a speeding or parking ticket). This is definitely me 5. I am easily the best at what I do, bar none — nobody could ever take my place. This is definitely me (remember this is what CC thinks of himself he tried to call Serpentor a figurehead and we know how that worked out) 6. I do whatever I feel like doing, and I don’t care what others think — or even if it’s illegal. This is definitely me 7. Every person for themselves; I don’t see the point in feeling sorry for other people and have no desire to help others. This is definitely me 8. I’ve gotten into legal or criminal trouble when I was a teenager (not just a speeding or parking ticket). This describes me somewhat (we don't know for sure but can assume he started young unless you go with the Cobra La version of him being an upstanding young nobleman) He still scores a 22 in this case. 9. I have no problem or concern in lying in order to get what I want. This is definitely me 10. “Live in the moment” is what I say; the future will take care of itself and learning from your past is pointless. This is definitely me 11. I never feel remorse, shame or guilt about something I’ve said or done. This is definitely me 12. I don’t see the point in taking on responsibilities of any kind — they just weigh you down. This is definitely me Psychopathy Likely You answered this quiz consistent with people who score high on measures of psychopathy and psychopathic behavior. This high score suggests that you likely have psychopathic tendencies.

Only if he thinks that way of himself.
Beach Head is a loner, a bit antisocial, but I don't think he would qualify as a psychopath. He is more humble than Cobra Commander and has a better grasp on reality. It might have made for an interesting episode between the two if Psyche Out had ever made it into Sunbow. Which he certainly could have been in the 1987 season had Sunbow been granted another season.
