How cool would it be if Cobra had been an underground conspirator all through time, with a cell / chapter causing chaos in the American Revolution, the Civil War, the French Revolution, or Cobra agents were the assassins pulling the trigger at Arch Duke Francis Ferdinand?
Suppose Cobra Commander just came along and brought it to the forefront, that Cobra was a background player through history, a secret society like the Illuminati?

Read my J.O.E. verse in my signature.
Already doing that angle. Society of the Coiled Serpent, started in Greek time. Don't want to give too much away as the mystery and surprises will come in the stories, but yeah, already doing that.

awesome! I like, and echo. Think that would be the best way to start Joe II; sorta like the McCullen intro, but maybe just a cutaway from a sniper taking the shot at the Arch Duke, a shuffling of jacket as he flees a rooftop, and a cobra sigil flashes from a sleeve mark . something further back than just McCullen taking Rex on as a scientist, that's just such a lame start and not fair for an organization such as Cobra.

Check back to my Verse thread. Hopefully what I end up doing will satisfy you.

The less you know about Cobra the better, as far as "official" cannon is concerned I think.
That way the individual's imagination is allowed to fill in the gaps. |

agree with that, but I think it only adds to that mystique if they have attacked randomly and sporadically through history.. serving no purpose or pattern, it's so much more exotic than an organization that was just there and a global threat so quickly.
Agree w. Troynos; if they are rooted in history, it's so much more alluring.. Even just a few key political assasinations in an attempt to put cobra clan members on thrones, and than big gaps of time between events. so much cooler when a cell has a base, a foundation in time to draw on.

Makes the threat that much bigger. And that much more mystery and intrigue.

have their been any throwback issues for the Arashikage heritage? I can't recall any from the marvel, image / DDP run having any of their past stories hashed out prior to SS/SE's rendezvous.

In one alternate version of my Joe-Verse that is a wacky crossover, COBRA Commander is descended from the Black Numenoreans (from Lord of the Rings) and that is where he gets his uncanny ability to control and motivate people, and also where a lot of his money and resources have come from...in the end he becomes an avatar for Sauron who has, after generations, been able to re-integrate himself into a less powerful but still potent form without the Ring...and Gandalf returns from the Elven kingdom, becomes a Jedi, and fights him.
It's wacky, like I said.

oh man, you forgot the part where yoda pilots the Defiant and than barfights a midget destro to gain control of Skynet.
kidding man. I like to use Star Wars vehicles in MARS workshops, latest craze Destro has cooked up to sell to CC. So Destro makes his own scotch. I like that part of the story. How many shots did CC do before he invested in such MARS buys as the Pogo, or the neon-orange Parasite? Bet he was wasted.. Pulled over in his porsche on the way back to the office.. officer leans in.. 'you been drinking?' 'COBRRAAAAAAALLALALALALALA!' 'step out of the car, nice and slowwwww...'
