Personally I liked Serpentor in the toons. He was much more menacing than CC and thought he fit the role of terrorist leader.

Agreed but please no Serpie in the first 2 or 3 movies

Serpentor was alright in the toons, but I just don't see anybody buying that backstory other than us die hard Jo-a-holics! I don't really care if he's in any of the movies myself...that's just me though!

He shouldn't be. His story line in the comic started off really well and ended up just being a real let down.

How in the world is the original Cobra civil war a let down, that was some of the best part of the marvel run, when serpentor got killed and then cobra commander later burried half of the cobra hiarchy in that land locked freighter and left us all wondering who is REALLY dead and who survived. Sweet stuff to me. I even enjoyed when Serpentor returned in the dd comic and they created the whole Coil following that was sweet. Serpentor can be cool when he says more than, "this i command" I mean really the reason cobra never wins is because of infighting. You never really get cobra commander, destro, and serpentor on the same page. If that ever happened joe would be in trouble

I'm thinking maybe G.I.Joe 3 (like the comics he would be (created?) to replace the incompetant head of Cobra) who knows... But does want to see anything even close to Serpentor in a motion picture.... (he did, after all, end up with a 25th ann. figure before even Maj.Bludd)

Serpy is a good story device, but not for the movies. He's not really much of a character, though his comic incarnation had some potential. I think he would just make a mess of the whole thing.

Sorry Polly, maybe it has more to due with me, but I just felt like the characters started to get lame at this time. I mean Sgt. Slaughter was down right embarrassing and same with that Rowdy Piper dork.

to me serpentor was awesome in the original comic, i remember reading issue 50 which was his first battle that was an awesome story, than when he returned to cobra island i think in 51 and cc was going to assasinate him he had the helcopter roll right up to cc and then jump out hugging him so the snipers couldnt get a clear shot, i dont think he should be in the movie though but you never know with all the modern advances in cloning he could be down the road.
