Both Serpentor and Sgt Slaughter ruined GIJoe for me. Yay second season! Look, Vipers! Look, Hawk! Look... oh crap what am I watching?

I really, really enjoyed his death in the comic though. Zartan FTW. |

I'd reimagine Serpentor, Pythona and Nemesis Enforcer as being Cobra's genetically-enhanced super-soldiers.

As a kid i liked him. I didn't have a CC, so he was my cobra's leader. In my joeverse back then I treated Cobra more like a country (i.e. Soviet Union type evil empire) and less like a mobile terrorist org with no permanent home base. Now, in my Joeverse Modern Serpentor is the Emporer & the various Cobra Commanders are just that "commanders", basically because I have so many & the armored CC (which I did finally get as a kid) I loved, but he's a combat commander for various viper troops, and my o-ring serpentors are now elite guards to my modern serpentor. And since my universe combines Star Wars and Joe even the Palpatine is at most an equal to Serpentor.
The sunbow cartoons, while I did enjoy them as a kid they annoyed me to no end with some of the characterizations (CC was kinda annoying, they made shipwreck -my dad's favorite character since he was an old sailor- annoying etc) But the Marvel Comic intro of Serpentor was ok. I never followed the Cobra la stuff and basically just ignored it, since my dad didn't like it & refused to buy it for me. Last edited by Killiad; 11-01-2023 at 02:04 AM.. |

Where is the "kind of" option?
Always liked the concept, it was the execution that sometimes left much to be desired. The notion that he had the accumulated knowledge of warfare was interesting, as well as the potential conflicting personalities. It was the bravado that lead to incompetence or the notion that he would allow such lesser individuals to continue to serve under him, that made it annoying. I suppose it is like anything / everything. The right writer can make anything interesting and good. |

I never really liked Serpentor, any version of him really. I just thought it muddied everything up. Cobra Commander was the leader of Cobra in my eyes, period.
I like the idea AWOL mentioned earlier in this thread about Serpentor being part of an enhanced super-soldier faction. I think that's where he'll end up in my Classified display, if the Cobra-La characters get made. |

Notice I left-out Golobulus... Some ideas are unsalvageable.

It's a good-looking figure, but it doesn't fit the fiction or my head cannon.
Why spend the money, time, and resources on a leader who has the same track record as Cobra Commander? |
