Now the introduction of Croc Master was great. Very cool character. But wouldn't it have been cooler if the Joes had been in a swamp or sewer and tracking a Cobra team and we find Croc Master stalking them and setting the aligators loose? Couldn't that have possibly been a better introduction for Cros Master? |

I've always thought both were intriguing characters that got bad execution.
Personally, I have no problem with Cobra Commander keeping an in-house occultist. As for Serpentor, there are several ways the character can be treated. In Marvel, Cobra Commander authorized a super soldier program. That idea was reused in some of the file cards over the past decade. The way I handle Serpentor is that's not a clone of history's greatest conquerors (though he's educated/brainwave scannered with their experiences and writings). Cobra instead took genetic samples from the greatest people in *today's* world in various categories, and then sequenced their DNA to figure out the genes responsible for great intelligence, memory, strategy, tactics, health, fitness, strength, etc. And Serpentor is not so much Cobra Commander's replacement as his figurehead. I think you'll see something similar here. |

I must be psyche myself, or perhaps they read the forum? HAHA

My verse is agnostic, heh. Nah I no superpowers or ET's. But I like to implement certain genetic or bio-mechanical futuristic concepts. Also I like to think Cobra Commander does have some zodiacal-astrologists and mysticists working within his cult-like or occult organization since its based on Fascism/Nazism..you can can find colorful figures within the Nazi Germany or Fascist Italy. And well maybe I do it also to explain away useless weirdos like Mindbender, Raptor and Crystal Ball, heh.

Good news for me. The first "Cobra" mini-series and the Tomax/Xamot one-shot were the only IDW product I've thorougly enjoyed so far. I've always hated Serpentor and Crystal Ball, but I have faith in this creative team. If they can reimagine those lame characters in a creative and interesting way, I'm all for it.

Ya know, your post kind of stuck with me. It might be completely out there, but we may be seeing a young Serpentor, maybe teens. How crazy would it be if he was really just a clone with some genetic engineering to make him the typical Super Soldier, and CB as his Rasputin-like handler. On the DL, CB could be filling his head with all these crazy ideas about being the reincarnation of all these dead conquerors in an attempt to use Serpentor as his way of taking over Cobra. They said that CB has no real mystical powers, but he is Cobras hypnotist, he could be laying all this groundwork in Serpy's unconscious to make him turn on CC down the line. So many awesome ways this could be handled, I'm totally stoked, and I HATED Serpentor. lol
