I always thought he did because of the cartoons yet I saw on a website saying that Serpentor doesn?t outrank Cobra Commander. It said that there is a High Cobra Council that elects the new Cobra Commander? Serpentor?s approval or vote for the new Commander is bears a lot of weight.

The answer to this depends upon the story you are watching or reading.
The idea of a Cobra High Council selecting a new Cobra Commander comes from the IDW comics continuity. In that story we meet a Cobra Commander who is kind of like our traditional version but a little more European aristocrat. He is a slow mystery which is built up to, then when we finally meet him he gets killed. So, instead of getting to know him, the reader gets to watch a violent competition between members of Cobra to be the next leader. In this story Serpentor is the leader of a smaller group under Cobra Commander. In the cartoon Serpentor displaces and defeats Cobra Commander and becomes the leader. Then later Cobra Commander returns and gets his revenge. In the Marvel comics basically the same thing happens.

The one issue where Cobra Commander and Serpentor are together in a field operation is #53, and CC seems to override Serpentor and lead the Troopers into the Pit.
To me, it seems like CC's intention when creating Serpentor was to create the ultimate field leader that would still be "under" CC in the hierarchy. Once Serpentor gained the confidence and respect of the troops after Springfield, the arrangement was probably the same -- although strained. If CC didn't "die" in that issue, a civil war probably would have erupted between the two in similar fashion to the one between Serpentor and Fred VII. |

In the original cartoon, Serpentor definitely outranks Cobra Commander. Though when I wad a kid, I didn't realize that was the case while the 86-87 season was airing. I hadn't seen the Arise Serpentor Arise mini series. So I though that Serpentor was some sort of "choosen one", but I thought Cobra Comander was still in charge. It wasn't until I saw the movie that I realized Serpentor outranked CC.
