Where as the siblings only did one thing, but were more masterful at it than their older brother. If that makes sense.
Except, that wasn't the case because the siblings did multiple things well. For example, in the very first comic book featuring Zandar, Marvel Comics issue 51 (September 1986), when the Dreadnoks were trying to escape pursuit by the G.I. Joes at the end of the story:
Just when the Dreadnoks thought they were finally clear and safe, Sgt. Slaughter came by their location to ask the locals if they'd seen anything. Zartan and Zarana relied solely upon Zandar's disguise and acting abilities to fool Sgt. Slaughter and send him in the wrong direction. If they had any doubt in Zandar's abilities, Zarana (or even better Zartan) could have handled that task themselves, but I think Larry Hama wanted to highlight another one of Zandar's talents using that particular panel.
