"Creature" = snake
Rex's parents were attacked by a cobra while on vacation in India. The cobra killed his father and impregnated his mother. When born, he looked like a lizard, so his mother named him Rex after Tyrannosaurus Rex. She hoped naming him after the King of Dinosaurs, it would give him strength and keep him from being made fun of. Unfortunately, Rex was picked on by the "in-crowd" and completely envied the captain of the football team, Conrad Hauser. He vowed to make Conrad suffer one day. He gathered all the downtrodden and created the terrorist group Cobra. Rex will have his revenge!

I doubt seriously that he'd be any sort of snake. It didn't work for most Joe fans with the animated movie and it certainly wouldn't go over well with most film goers. At least I hope it wouldn't. My impression is that this take on Cobra Commander is going to be the classic (read: tired and overused) Phantom of the Opera/Dr. Doom/Darth Vader theme of a man's soul becoming as twisted as he is physically.
To tell the truth, while I'm very open to this new movie, I can't understand this fixation with giving EVERYONE a back story. When I was a kid, I wondered what Cobra Commander looked like, sure, but I never cared where he came from, or why Destro helped him, or what the Baroness' motivations were.

i don't think we have to worry about the snake.
I'm putting my money on him being a American soldier. and it going like this: 1) on a non sanctioned mission, something goes wrong, gets his face blown off or something along those lines. 2)He comes home, disfigured and, due to the fact the government had dissavowed his mission, and status, bureaucracy and red tape prevent him for reconstrunction surgery, or any sort of benefits. 3)disscharged from the military, he can't find any sort of work, grows dissillusioned with his government. Watches the rich get rich, and the poor stay poor, he becomes bitter, and a little unhinged. 4) starts holding underound seminars and lectures, preaching about the evils of corporate america, and thats the start of cobra.

That's very similar to origin of Snake Eyes. Except for the last part, lol. |

I can live with that, sounds a little Snake Eyes gone wrong, but I can live with that. Please anything but Cobra La like background, my heart could not take that. :( Oh yeah, and I say used car salesman all the way - CC fits the type (no apologies to any used car sales men out there - offense MEANT!! ) .

While that sounds pretty accurate to me, I wonder how the general public in this present climate will react to a story where the military veteran is the bad guy.

Maybe he's horribly disfigured... who knows? At this point if the producers want to keep people happy we need to see some images.
