I would love to get some background info on the creation of Dr Mindbender...
"Okay, we're giving Cobra a mad scientist type!" "Well, okay, that makes sense, after all." "Yeah, and he's bald with a monocle!" "Haha, I could see that. Good idea." "And he'll WEAR A CAPE BUT NO SHIRT!" "... um... wait, what?" And as far as concepts go, Raptor is more than a little ridiculous. |

Windmill- a pilot in orange and lime green with a Buck Rogers helmet!? Hated the Cobra-la figures. BTW- Ice Cream Soldier was a WWII term for a guy who was cool under fire. One of Sgt Rock's Easy Co men had the same nickname. (

Right. Destro, Zartan, Dr. Mindbender, and Serpentor are just as dumb as Crystal Ball, Raptor, Croc Master, and Big Boa when you think about it. Only they '87 Cobras weren't featured on the Sunbow toon or came out after a lot of people got out of Joe.
Captain Grid-Iron was a pretty wacky concept. |

I always thought Raptor was quite possibly the weirdest idea for a Joe character ever. An accountant that became a falconer whose birds could kill people? It was pretty much a sign that someone went off the reservation.
Dee-Jay was the strangest looking figure in a lineup that was so odd it only lasted one page in the comic books. DEF, the eco-crap, and the alien hunting soldiers were so godawfully outlandish, I'm glad I'd already quit collecting. I remember seeing them in stores when I was in college, thinking "what the hell happened here?" |

Raptor. Hands down the oddest character. If he just used hunting birds to kill/spy/etc., that wouldn't be so bad. But he dressed up like a bird. Really? Who could take that seriously?

Dee Jay, a creation so terrible that before the ink was even dry from his first appearence they decided to kill him off.
