Aside from the Baroness and the Crimson Twins, I don't really see the rest of them as loyal to Cobra's ideology. Zartan and his crew, Firefly, Destro and the rest are there for their own reasons, but could be given command over a squad or platoon should the need arise.
I agree that blue shirts and vipers should be equal, but I tend to think of the blue shirt officers as 2nd louies. As for Dr. Mindbender, I can't really say. If he's a science officer, then that makes him...a shirtless Mr. Spock? |

Yeah he is too filthy for Cobras Navy and plus he is rarely seen in saltwater mostly in swamps and bogs. Hence why the Moccasin-Sting Raider is dark green and not blazing red and yellow like Cobra Hydrofoil-makes me laugh that vehicle is called a Moray and the divers are EELS isn't that the same thing?

Cobra Commander is the supreme leader of Cobra and also military genius(as per his original filecard), he's got his elite Crimson Guards as not only his elite bodyguard Legion but also as storm vanguard when leading large scale military operations into enemy territory in conquest supported by Viper divisions and Cobra Soldiers. Viper's I consider more like a combo of US Rangers or Marines, Eels a combo of SEALS and Marines( Snow-Serpents the same).
Storm Shadow is loyal warrior and cheif assassin. Firefly a paid mercenary. Scrap Iron is a Cobra specialist operative. The more specified Viper's belong in Special Operation small units. Destro and Baroness I'd mark down as special agents doubling as field lieutenants. Major Bludd, well his military designation applies and is self explanatory. Zartan I never had much use for. He seems more a street thug, the comic attempted to give some worth but more than this idiot deserved imo. I'd write him off as some Assassin and agent provacator for Cobra's aim of crime, chaos and anarchy in the streets of American cities but the stupid lameass cockney and/or Australian accents of the Bikers needs to go this isnt Mad Max) or Liverpool street junkies that mysterious ended up in New York. Tomax and Zamot I'd have as field lieutenants and that is all. *Overlord I put in command of my CG's as a general. |

Cobra Commander
Baroness Major Bludd Tomax & Xamot Crimson Guard Vipers Troopers Zartan, Firefly, Storm Shadow, Croc Master, Wild Weasel, etc. are specialists that Cobra Commander calls upon for certain missions, but they hold no real spot in the chain of command. They are able to command troops if leading a mission. Destro has an alliance with Cobra Commander and the ability to command troops, but not officially in the chain of command. |

Cobra Commander (with Storm Shadow as his bodyguard) - head honcho
-Crimson Twins - jointly act as Cobra Commander's second in command. If Cobra Commander is the CEO, they're the CFO. -The Baroness - not under the twins command or authority, but in terms of chain of command, a slightly lower rank in the Cobra heirarchy -Dr. Mindbender - not of any rank at all, authority over troops extends only to the projects the Commander or the twins, or Baroness asign to him. Cobra resources are given to him when he needs them, but he holds no actual authority over any troops unless they are assigned to him -Major Blood - a field commander, below baroness or the twins, takes his orders from them -Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Croc Master - all independant operators who, like Mindbender, are given Cobra resources to order around based on the needs of whatever they're told to do. -Crimson Guard - do not take orders from anyone but CC and the twins. None of the other Cobra operatives have any authority over them -Eels, Snow Serpents, Air Vipers/Special pilots (figuring this is the cream of the crop) - specialized Vipers, just vipers with more specialized training. -Vipers - the marines of the Cobra army. Like troopers, but with more battle experience. -Troops (basically any standard troops of any specialty) - bottom of the rung. May or may not have any previous military experience. -Destro - when working with Cobra, is understood to be second only to Cobra Commander as far as the troops are concerned, but not actually part of the organization, per se. -Zartan ( & Dreadnoks), Firefly - independant mercenaries. When their services are required, CC gives them resources, but they hold no official rank within Cobra.

Viper file card: "If you want to get anywhere in Cobra, you start out as a Viper. That's the bottom of the pyramid."
Thus, they should be the bottom rung of the hierarchy - below troopers.

I've never liked that about the Vipers card and tend to ignore it.
Really makes no sense. You go from having the best equipment and body armor to wearing a plan blue uniform? Just doesn't make sense. So to me, the Vipers are the Special Operations unit of Cobra. Blueshirts the rank and file.

well I think it depends on which medium you look at...but I think if you ultimately had to narrow it down and give a definite answer, the Cobra Command Team will always be "Cobra Commander, Destro, Baroness".
