Cobra Commander came first and was really sufficient, he was not too over the top, he was basically an everyman. Even his uniform was not too over the top. Destro was the first step into the fantasy evil villain territory so familiar in most comics. He even bore a resemblance to Dr Doom, steel mask and all (Cobra was loosely based on Hydra after all)
Serpentor was designed by Hasbro to fill what they mistakenly thought was a need to fill. It would be like trying to replace Darth Vader. Serpentor was not well received by Larry Hama either, when he was told to kill off Cobra Commander (so the story goes) He said it was a mistake. Serpentor opened the door to wilder more crazy characters like Dr Mindbender, Crystal Ball, Raptor, Croc Master etc. Up until that point things were still kept to a more militaristic theme. Two organizations with militaristic themes. Those that were attracted to those themes were suddenly faced with this science fiction/horror movie creation. If Hasbro had said Serpentor was Cobra Commander just a new uniform, would the reception been different? Perhaps. The new character that was suddenly supposed to replace Cobra Commander (who was still alive and could not be killed after all these were kid's toys and cartoons) was not written into the story very well. It depends on if you like the more scifi aspects of Joe or the militaristic ones. |

Cobra Commander: dead as nails. . .
Baroness: CINC (in my Joeverse she killed the Commander, slit his throat) Destro: presumed dead Circe: MARS acting director, leader of the IG's (and a small secret rouge IG cell) Khymera: Nightstalker leader Col. Dagger: operational commander (replaced Maj. Blood) Maj. Blood: on the run from Cobra (tried to kill Baroness, now she wants his head on a pike) CWO Grainger: Elite Alley Viper Corp commander (Gorrilas) Specialist Hammerhead: Artillery Commander Harpy: Air Wing Commander (WIP) Thats how it stands now more on the way. . . |

Forgetting about what happened in the DIC series 2 cartoon, if Cobra Commander was going to get rid of Serpentor, who would he get to take care of him?

CC is at the top, ruling from the safety of Latveria, with Dr.Doom and the Red Skull as his high counsel.
Destro and the Baroness run Cobra Island. The Twins run The Springfield Project...which is multiple small towns, entirely infiltrated by Cobra, around the States...they travel between them after....... ......Extensive Enterprises was exposed as a criminal organization with ties to Cobra, and was sold off...the new buyer was Cobra Commanders wife...No criminal record, making them a legit company...
