Cobra seems pretty thin in leadership ranks. Excluding outliers like Destro, Major Bludd, and Zartan...
Cobra Commander and Crimson Twins are really the only leaders. Then you have Baroness, Crimson Asp, Wraith, Dr. Mindbender...which really don't seem much like leaders but more specialty folks... Shouldn't Cobra have more mid-career officers, etc.? |

Since it is a money making org, I imagine they have a fairly flat organization to minimize middle management costs, and to prevent any mid level guys thinking they could be a top level guy with a couple of rounds of 9 mm

I'd like to see another former Joe in the Cobra ranks. As far as I know, Blackout has been the only one.

I think at a minimum, there should be a General, Colonel, LtCOL, Maj, Captain and LT... Maybe even a Sgt in there....For sea forces there should be some Admiral, or Captain, Commander (though ti would be confusing), or Ensign... I mean it is a military-based org... I mean, something should exist in terms of a chain of command, I would think....
Anything else would be specialists like Baroness, Crimson Asp, Firefly, Storm Shadow, Copperhead, Wild Weasel, Scrap Iron... |

CObra Officers and Crimson Guard Commanders (the 1993 figure) fill some of those roles.
I see Cobra as something that exists at the whims of its leader. It's not as logical as other fans think it should be. Newly hired mercs are promoted over people who've been with Cobra for years. New units are created quickly then all but abandoned later. Experimental weaponry is common and safety comes in last. |

I always wanted to see someone do something with the unidentified bald operative in this single panel of issue #1. Years ago I dubbed him Professor Hemlock, Minister of Propaganda & Misinformation.

Cobra needs a social media influencer/spreader of misinformation.
I had an idea called for an operative called Zeitgeist. |
