Fresh off the Zartan/Firefly thread, I ask you this..
Who is the better all around leader and why? Please be specific as Cobra Commander is like 3 different people if you compare his comic/cartoon presences. I have always felt that it all begins with Cobra Commander and Cobra Reborn and the last 20 or so issues of the DD portrayed Cobra Commander the way he should have been. Ruthless..strong..prepared...not the snivelling, cowardly, crazy portrayal he was victim of in the toon, most of the Marvel run and the last issues of DD. Without CC, the characters of SE & SS would not be the same...no Cobar to fight..no major reason for Joe. |

Depends on which CC you're talking about.
The CC as shown in America's Elite was a bad-ass, that's what he should have been all along. A guy that is a couple steps ahead at all times, who is barely beaten (or is he? maybe he doesn't mind losing this one battle). The AE CC was alot like Destro. Destro's honor made him a better character, but CC's lack of honor made him much more dangerous. This is a guy that killed his own son to prove he could. Which is the better leader? I'd submit that Destro is more of a stragegist and uses his troops better. But somehow CC was always able to get the loyalty of his troops no matter how badly he treated 'em. It's a tie. They are both good leaders.

Destro to me is the hands down better leader, he has the ability to make and manufacture his own military hardware. He is by far the better stragegist and always leads from the front not to mention he teaches new skills to his men.
He is loyal to his men as well and does not kill them for stupid reasons as does CC I really always felt like Destro was going to take over the top spot at any moment. CC is ruthless and more dangerous at times but makes mistakes in judgement all the time, with his resources he falls short quite often do to lack of leadership and tatics. |

Serpentor.
Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, CC wouldn't even have half his gear without Destro and MARS. Not only is Destro an effective leader, he's also a good businessman. |

Destro also has the cooler look by far and just like Zefram said is the better busineesman. I also forgot to mention he has a hot lady.

Cobra Commander! just because I think he's more ruthless in a ruthless business. Plus I bet he's way richer than Destro. He just steals what he wants. Cobra Commander has basically created a country over the years with multiple levels of governance and Development. He's a dreamer and a Doer. He has all the new ideas and has Guys like Destro do it for him. I'm surprised he hasn't gone into the weapons production business himself. In my Joe Verse CC's most trusted leaders are The Twins and Cesspool. Basically CEOs who know how to make money. Money makes the world go round.
