So I just read Serpentor's filecard and it says, "A secret cabal of Cobra scientist, under the direction of the Interrogator and Destro..."
The figure came out in 91 and was in the DIC cartoons series. Just thought it was odd he was mentioned this early without a figure to complement him. Well...unless I'm missing something, which I'm sure someone will let me know soon. What's the history with this guy? |

I kind of wonder if Interrogator might have been Dr. Mindbender, and was changed later. I looked over the file cards, and several versions have this mention, that Interrogator and Destro hatched this plan. But the comics showed it as being Destro and Mindbender. Still, if true, makes for an interesting twist.

Dr. Mindbender was originally slated to be called Cobra Interrogator...
Or his specialty I should say... Instead of Master of Mind Control

Dr. Mindbender's initial function in COBRA was an interrogator. I imagine the Serpentor card was written before Mindbender's information was finalized and altered.
Later, another character called "Interrogator" was created. In my own Joe-Verse, Dr. Mindbender doesn't create Serpentor. He is a psychiatrist who has perfected a technique similar to the Bene Gesserit "Voice" in the Dune novels. He also is skilled at helping people uncover repressed memories and he is able to help the young Serpentor (who is 16 in 1986 when he takes over the Vipers) access his genetic memories so he can "remember" the lives of those from whose DNA he was developed. Mindbender also has a penchant for the theatrical, hence his outlandish outfits.

This... It was also the year that the Joes employed a psychologist named, Psyche-Out whose purpose was "Deceptive Warfare". So it goes without saying that the Joe universe was trying to expand into the mental/scientific world. I'm guessing that since Dr. Mindbender was also a research scientist that he would head the science R&D at Cobra.

It's Mindbender.
One of his original codenames was Interrogator. The filecard was created prior to his final name, or someone just messed it up. It's meant to be Mindbender. Kind of like how in his first comics appearance his name was Brainwave.
