I liked Serpentor as a kid. I thought the Air Chariot was pretty cool. As an adult, I still like Serpentor, but think the character/backstory could be handled a different way.
However, I think Hama & Dixon did the best they could considering Hasbro just dropped the character on them. From some of Hama's stories, Hasbro jut came to him and said, "Here is the Cobra leader - the real Cobra leader, the guy who has been behind the scenes the whole time" and none of that remotely fit the backstory Hama had created for Cobra Commander. So, he had to tweak Serpentor's backstory for the toy and everything. Luckily, he stuck with his guns on Cobra-La for the comics. Jason |

I don't really care for Serpentor, the character or the figure. That said, I will buy him because the air chariot is cool, and I'll still pose the hell out of him and have Slaughter kick his butt.

Yes I like the figure and the way he was in the comic. I also liked the mini series Arise Serpentor but after that it was to much.

No, but I will buy the figure.
I really want an extra head with an arrow through the eye to sprawl out on my Hisstank. |

Here's the thing. As a kid, I liked realistic military stuff in the comics. And I liked the "science" behind Serpentor. And the way Hama wrote him, he brought military strategy into the comics. Hama wrote him seriously, even if he didn't like the character. So for me he's always been a great character who I enjoy a lot.

I've often wondered about the inspirations behind the Serpentor design. It's such a wild outfit after all. I've wondered if his helmet could be inspired by this supposed "Alexander the Great helmet":
Then again, you also have these representations of Aztec warriors. That's a strong Serpentor resemblance: Both helmets are playing on the same themes, of course.

I've always liked Serpentor but he became even cooler to me thanks to the Mike Costa era of the Cobra comics where Serpentor was basically the spiritual leader of Cobra's cult. That whole series made me reimagine Cobra. Poor Scoop got sucked into that cult.
