Here is how I see it For Cobra Command:
(generals are equal to each other under Cobra Commander) 1. Cobra Commander, commander in chief. 1-A. Scarface Cobra officer who serves as Cobra Commander's aid. he takes orders from CC only, but does not command more than a few guards. 2. Tomax & Xamot, Generals of the Crimson Guard. They head the part of Cobra that seems legitamate. 3. Overlord, General over Cobra's ground forces 4. Dr. Mindbender honorary General over sciences, and interogations. Has no direct influence over command decisions. Has command over minimal number of personal security guards. 5. Baroness, equivalent general in charge of counter inteligence. She might defect to Destro's Iron Grenadiers... 6. Wild Weasel general in charge of Cobra's Air forces. 7. Major Bludd. equivalent to Colonel, Former mercenary who works for Cobra and takes advantage of their protection. As a member of Cobra he doesn't have to worry about the price on his head. 8. Copperhead, Equivalent of Colonel, Mercenary. Works for Cobra in exchange for protection from people he owes money to. 9. Croc Master. Equivalent of Colonel, Mercenary who works for Cobra because he is evil. 10. Big Boa. Equivalent of Colonel. Cobra Viper who is head PT instructor/trainer. 11. Crimson Guards are loyal to Cobra Commander above all other members in Cobra. 12. Cobra officers, various rank equivalent to NATO military. Lt. O-1 through Colonel O-6 Allies, Free Agents: 1. Destro is not a member of Cobra, he has his army of body guards and is independant of Cobra. He will share in the spoils though if Cobra takes over the world. 2. General Voltar head of Destro's personal army. 3. Scrap Iron head weapons testor and demonstrator. 4. Metal Head, another weapons demonstrator for the Iron Grenadiers. 1. Zartan Mercenary, spy, master of disguise, and assasin. And head of domestic Biker gang codenamed the Dreadknocks. 2. Zarana Sister, inteligence. She does background checks on new dreadknocks to make sure they're not undercover FBI. 3. Zandar brother master of disguise. Informant to Zartan, sneeking around the dreaknocks making sure there isn't a coup de ta. 1. Firefly mercenary, saboture. Not strictly a member of Cobra he works for who ever pays. Cobra Commander has unsuccessfully tried to make him part of Cobra Command. 1. Storm Shadow Cobra Commander's body guard. He is not a member of Cobra, and has no rank. He takes orders only from CC. He pretends to be CC's body guard but is secretly looking for who killed his uncle and why. The most dangerous man in Cobra, and CC knows it. 1. Night Creepers independant organization lead by night Creeper Leader. they work on contract for Cobra, but there is mutual disstrust. Cobra Commander is having his Crimson guard infiltrate them so he can assimilate them into Cobra completly Last edited by IronMan76; 02-11-2010 at 04:12 PM.. |

This thread has made me actually put thought into the hierarchy of my joeverse.
Troops are without question at the bottom performing perimeter and garrison security...along with any/all non combat positions (you cant have a tele-viper answer every phone in the terrordrome) Troops that wish to specialize must be a viper first to be eligible for any additional training...or troops may opt to not undergo viper selection and remain a blueshirt and earn rank...which opens the possibility of a blue shirt officer commanding a squad or platoon of vipers. Vipers and all specialized versions are within their own group and rank decides seniority Crimson Guard as some have stated a "secret police" or enforcing arm of Cobra Commander ignoring the rank of anyone wearing "blue" Major bludd is a contracted mercenary to lead specific assaults/attacks...however is not a "9-5" soldier Dr Mindbender R&D director has no rank however is consulted with during strategic planning Works in concert on many projects with Scrap Iron who also holds no rank as he's the "hands on test dummy" Crimson Twins Has no rank with the Cobra Army, however they are responsible for mainting Extensive Enterprises cashflow as well as the training of the CG and ensuring that all mutual interests of cobra/EE are protected Destro no military rank/ arms supplier and strategist Baroness 2nd to Cobra Commander Cobra Commander Storm Shadow is an executive level bodyguard all of the other named characters are specialists in their respective fields called upon when the situation warrants...except croc master in my joeverse he runs the interrogation and detention centers. |

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. |

Count me as one of the people who think Destro is his own entity.
Even when you look at the toys, he doesn't have a Cobra logo on him. Same with Bluud and Zartan. |

I think a lot of the Cobras fit into the "Merc" camp. They are in it for the paycheck and not really part of any Cobra heirarchy (other than reporting to the one who pays them - CC).

I think Cobra Commander finds ways to manipulate mercenaries like Major Bludd into joining Cobra Command.
...He will leak info to interpol so they have no choice but to join Cobra for protection from capture. ...If the mercenaries under his thumb try to flee Cobra He will have the Crimson Guard leak info to whoever wants to kill them in their past... ...So they really have no choice. Why should Cobra Commander risk his own soldiers if he can have the authorities do it? So far he hasn't been able to turn Firefly, Storm Shadow, or Zartan completely to his side. They have been too carefull to be manipulated by Cobra Commander. Destro can not be manipulated. Last edited by IronMan76; 02-10-2010 at 11:07 PM.. |

I guess if it's your universe, you can make the hierarchy what you want, but I have heard so MANY arguments about Snow Serpents being greater than eels because their file card says they are specialized eels so I just assumed they were the source of what many people are using to make their decisions on how each figure fits into the greater picture.

The original Destro wore the Cobra hood around his neck, so he was basically a walking Cobra logo. The Iron Grenadier Destro supposedly was dreaming the dream of Cobra Commander(per file card entry) and even in the comics around that time Destro was involved in the usurpation of Cobra because of the Fred doof and Serpentor vacuum in the Commander's death/absence. And Destro was out doing his own conquering mainly with Darklon leading campaigns. Although I never much cared for Hama making him a dandy in the later issues.

CC Destro/Baroness Major Bludd, Crimson Twins Dr. Mindbender Wild Weasel, Copperhead, Croc etc are just specialists... not really command, but they might lead a wing or a security detail as fitting. Soldiers as per normal (Eels, Snow Serpents, Vipers, Troops and their respective officers). Zartan isn't even on the map. He leads the goons Cobra uses when it doesn't want to waste its own men and equipment. Stormshadow doesn't command squat outside of maybe some ninja lackeys. |
