If you have him in your canon at all that is. I'm curious to see what people do with him, like the recent Storm Shadow: Joe or Cobra thread.
For me, Serpentor was a Trooper, then Viper, then Crimson Guard, as he proved himself as a leader and loyal to Cobra as an organisation, Cobra Commander is being his Sunbow self. Destro, Baroness and the twins notice this, experiment on him ala Captain America/Deathstroke and make him their leader, CC is still around, as a figure head, to boost moral as he is beloved for his zannyness. |

Do not give him much thought. His inclusion to the Sunbow cartoon started the slippery slope of terribleness. I don't even display him in my collection. Though I do love Rise Serpentor Arise the mini-series allot. Will not deny that.

Serpentor is still the 'ruling emperor'...Cobra Commander is like his Resolute self and Destro is still an arms dealer but fills a role like a Colonel...the twins are field commanders/lieutenants and do on and so on and so forth...

It's hard to say these days. Before I read the comics and only knew of Joe through the cartoon, Serpentor was the definitive leader of Cobra. He was an emperor, he would stand and fight unlike Cobra Commander, who would flee at any moment's notice. After I had read the first 2 or 3 CLassic Joe volumes (it started with the end to the issue where his troops went down with their underwater base), I fell in love with CC and how devious he was. How brutal, how maniacal, and most important, how intelligent he was! There is a night and day difference between the cartoon and comic. Yes, he is still not a fighter, as he is not a soldier, but he was a genius salesman, and that makes for a scary leader. He knows how to sell snake oil (literally). And then seeing him in action in Resolute just screamed how much of a badass he is.
However, my love for Serpentor has been one for over 20 years, so I am unsure as to what to think. I think I would still do it the way the comics did. CC is fully in charge until Mindbender creates Serpentor, which then causes a rift between both CC and Serpentor.
