Any connection between HAND and the Red Ninjas? Is it a nod?

Actually, Hydra (Marvel) and Kobra (DC) were created by the same guy (Jack Kirby) long before Hasbro ever got the idea to give the Joes an actual enemy, much less one with a fanatical snake-themed leader with a fetish for superscience doomsday weapons. More details below.

More accurately, the "ninja craze" was already in effect when TMNT was created. TMNT was not responsible for it, but did feed into it. |

Skipping the 3 pages. Out of that pic in the OP..
The "ninja", Gorgon is a new character introduced to Hydra last year. Hydra never had ninjas until recently. DC's Kobra has never officially had ninjas. I can't remember when Viper was introduced, but it might have been after Baroness. Don't know for sure (and Viper's hair is green BTW, not black. The monocle is the only connection and that is slim at best.

Archie Goodwin is the guy who came up with the name Cobra and the group was roughly based on Hydra but the actual characters weren't.
Mr Hama himself has said that Hasbro had no enemy for the Joe's. "What are they going to do, march all day?" |

If Zartan is a rip-off, he's of Big Jim's enemy Zorak.

The part where he said, "What are they going to do, march all day?" definitely made me chuckle.
