I thought this figure was like a replacement for Serpentor or another rival for the commader’s place in power instead it is him in disguise. This would work with that Fred imposter syndrome but it would if it was a Serpentor replacement. As long as it is a DNA for a man, not a woman so the commander won’t be sexually assaulted.

I don't know why, but as a kid, I always thought Overlord was with Destro and the Iron Grenadiers

I'm confused too.
I think there was some intention for him to originally be CC in disguise, but I think those aspects have been overtaken by his actual portrayals. Personally I like OVerlord a lot especially as he has been portrayed in DDP and the Con Set which sort of gave rise to the "Coil" as a separate Cobra institution.

What? Overlord is nothing but what the filecard makes him out to be. Hama never used him. He was never in cartoons besides brief commercials. Everything else is fanfic (yes, Devil's Due and the club).
His working place-holder names were anagrams of Cobra Commander...but that's the only evidence of anything. Somewhere in the process he became a new character or he was always gonna be a new character with a proper name. |

Yeah, both Filecards mention a CG background

I'm pretty sure Overlord was originally intended to be Cobra Commander's clone, at least that was strongly insinuated by Hasbro's unmasked Cobra Commander action figures. He has the exact face (raised eyebrow) as the Hall of Fame Cobra Commander and the Star Brigade Cobra Commander. Look them up. It's obviously intentional. Either that, or he was supposed to be a disguised Cobra Commander (who had lost power from Cobra?), but that doesn't fit the CG angle. Perhaps he was like a "Fred clone," intended to look exactly like the real Cobra Commander in order to replace him or trained to take over Cobra if the real Cobra Commander died? I'm just guessing, but Hasbro definitely intended one of the above to be the case since he has Cobra Commander's face.
