I can buy the fact that a disgruntled used cars saleman wants to stick it to the man and run the USA HIS way, but how did this regular american guy manage to convince thousands of people, a hot chick, and a weapons dealer, to work for him without attracting the fbi? All of them become loyal to him.

How does anyone? Anybody can possess charisma and determination, no matter his or her job.

I definately believe that the desire of the used car salesmen losing his family and job and then blaming the gov't for it. The frustration I feel going to the DMV almost makes me don the hood.
As for the FBI not knowing, that does raise a good point. I think Lady J or some other intelligence officer would ask this question. Then a detailed report of FBI agents at the time who DIDN'T discover this could lead to Cobra sleeper agents who joined way, way back at the beginning. |

It's probably not, but just to pay devil's advocate...
Mega-Churches kind of do the same thing with ideas that are attractive to people and creating a defacto pyramid scheme. And if I offend anybody who's in a mega church, I'm not decrying their message or purpose, just the organizational make-up. Now, if you could pivot from that, to say politics or ideaology (eg, Jim Jones), then you could afford to hire people who will help your organization grow, especially if they have the same ideology (terrorism or rebellion). Then you hire mercenaries to fill the ranks of your terrorist organization, hire an arms dealer who sees a potential for profit, a spoiled, rich daughter who shares that ideology, and an outlet for the cruel and selfish of the world... you've got Cobra. It's not that unbelievable, just very very difficult and very improbable.

Well I'd buy that background well b4 cobra la! Lol
Who said the FBI didn't know? They knew about the Boston bombers well before they committed that heinous act. They knew of bin Laden long before 911. What the knew was irrelevant they Can't do anything until a crime is committed CC could have well built his legions and purchased his Island well n4 the 1st attack and they really wouldn't be able to stop him.

Cobra had the Jugglers on their side, they could manipulate any LEO to look the other way, plus Cobra infiltrated many levels within the government and police force.
I seem to remember the generals/jugglers not believing Springfield was a secret Cobra town, even after the invasion. In reality, maybe not... but for the comic purposes, sure.

Guys, let's keep this thread open and refrain from any further political and religious talk.

Sometimes I just don't want to know characters backgrounds and just about all of the origin ideas I've heard for CC reinforced that. It wasn't until I heard Wordburglers "Venomous Ideology" that I paid attention to comic background of Cobra Commander. (Also made me look at Chuckles in a new light as well)

More so now than ever. With the amount of businesses going under and unemployment being what it is...... why wouldn't it be?

He got his troopers from the bottom of society's barrel. He promised them change.
He got Destro only because Destro is an arms dealer and wants to watch the world burn I guess. He got the Baroness because she had a lot of hatred for Snake Eyes for seemingly killing her brother. (He didn't.)
