I do not own Serpentor yet, but when I do, my plans for him are to play the whole story of his origin (teams fighting near tombs around the world and such) and once created to serve as a field commander to lead Cobra troops into battle. This is the purpose for which Mindbender will create Serpentor in my Joeverse, having someone who takes all the risks in the battles so Cobra Commander is not exposed to the battlefield. In the story I plan to play this decision was taken by Mindbender and the other Cobra officers after Cobra Commander was mortally wounded in a battle and remained several days in coma.
In my Joeverse Serpentor will be Cobra Commander's first general and follows Cobra Commander orders. I disregard the idea presented in the cartoon in which the situation is the other way around as Cobra Commander serves Serpentor purposes. What is the role of Serpentor in your Joeverse? |

I've never been a huge fan of Serpentor. I suppose I've always imagined his story similar to how things were in the cartoon, but somewhere along the line he meets his end. After that, Cobra Commander just resumes command.

I use him as a cobra general who wants power. Dr venom and mindbender advanced the neonviper nanonites and where able to inject and clone past leaders DNA , with this they created Serpentor and Venomous Maximus. Each serves as high ranking field commanders. They both answer to all the cobra hierarchy, Overlord and Krake are in the same position in my joeversembut without DNAnonite technology,.lt works out well since I adopted
The IDW concept that Cobra is an old secret organization that has had multiplemcobra commanders through the years. I can have one take over if I ever get bored. |

None of the above really, but "doesn't exist is close" enough. I don't have a joeverse, though. Year ago I had it similar to the comic, Serpentor died and that was it. The Serpentor character as is was too hard to reconcile with being a field leader...that costume is a big reason, but his personality also defies being a subordinate. CC serving Serpentor doesn't work for me. How do you have a guy named Cobra Commander not the leader of Cobra?

In my Gi Joe verse much like the cartoon serpentor is Sargeant slaughter's equal just a psycho that is released towards end of battle to make easy exit for cobra to retreat a Juggernaut of the battlefield he is also a matter and is cloned for cobras easy disposal

Cobra Commander was always my favorite figure, so I used Serpentor as a super soldier, since I had read a lot of Captain America and Wolverine comics as a kid, that fit in my Joe verse.
Thinking about it now, I still like it that way. He could have started as a plot by Destro and Dr Mindbender to replace Cobra Commander, but he caught onto it and had a bomb or something implanted in him to keep him under CC's control. Yeah, that's been done a million times. Maybe CC just added his own DNA to make Serpentor the son he never really had. Or just to be a field general he can trust, as he was trying to get Destro killed just a couple issues after bringing him in to Cobra. |

He is essentially equal to Cobra Commander. Cobra has become large enough where the two don't have to cross paths. Most of Cobra Special Ops units are loyal to Serpentor since he puts his neck on the line and is a Master Tactician. Alley-Vipers, Range-Vipers, Para-vipers. Mindbender, Overlord, and Venomous Maximus are his top generals. In my verse Venomous Maximus is another somewhat failed clone, who Serpentor treats as a brother.
So is that like the cartoons?

In my Cobraverse, the Cobra civil war has already happened & Cobra Commander was victorious; he reigns supreme! However, Serpentor proved to be a worthy adversary & proved too valuable to dispose of. Just like Destro uses Gen. Voltar & Gen. Mayhem to lead the Iron Grenadiers, Cobra Commander uses Serpentor & Venomous Maximus to lead the Cobra troops.

Mine is kinda like that Stargate tv series. I have the version of him that has the snake head helmet as the ruler and the the other two versions of him as guards and soldiers.
