Filecard says, "He dons his silver battle mask (a family tradition) and enters the battle himself, either with COBRA Command (Destro is their major weapons supplier) or against them if its better for business."
I'd also argue the figure packaging (card art/filecard) trumps all licensed media in terms of information. The reason Destro stands apart is he was his own man.
I can't remember when Destro became his own enitity, besides his squabbles with the Commander in the Sunbow cartoon or the one or two times he went against CC in the Marvel comics. There may exist something more than this in later years when other publishers acquired the license. I dont know, because I'm mostly unfamiliar with all of that.
But I do know putting it back closer to the ARAH start, and the year Destro was released into the line, he was pretty much a Cobra 2nd in command as J said.
With that being said, I am a little confused why you brought this point up? I mentioned Destro in my conversation to AWOL. Your comment followed mine, so I am left to assume that your comments were meant to counter mine. However, my point about Destro was that he was one of the earliest examples of Hasbro bringing elements of sci fi into the universe.
Destro, a member of Cobra, or his own thing, the point remains. Hasbro was putting things of a sci fi nature early on in ARAH.
