Was there an episode in IDW comics where Serpentor and Dr. Mindbender unmasked Cobra Commander?

Coincidentally, I was just watching a video on Cobra Commander and the presenter mentioned his helmet was rigged with explosives.
That fact-checking adventure led me to the story of CC fighting Serpentor while Mindbender watched. Serpentor won the fight and ordered CC to take off his helmet before killing him. CC gave him the helmet and it exploded in Serpentor's hands. One article said it was during the Devil's Due continuity and that Serpentor flew through a window and died. Another article made no mention of continuity and said Serpentor was, post-explosion, kicked off a launchpad into a body of water and presumed dead. Maybe they're both correct. Was that what you were looking for? No doubt there's somebody else here who knows the exact scenario way better than I; it's a funny coincidence that I would have been reading about this around the same time you started this thread. |

I think in the original stuff Mindbender must have seen CC's face at some point given his true face was a trigger to have Zartan and Destro brainwashed into becoming Cobra agents again.
Odd that it wasn't set up for Baroness as well, especially since she clearly knew his real face from day 1 (although I don't recall that ever explained why she alone knew his real face?). |

Marvel issue 55 was titled "Unmasking" and has Snake Eyes, Destro, and Cobra Commander unmasked to a certain degree. They depicted CC has having long hair in a pony tail and a handlebar moustache wearing round John Lennon-style sun glasses.
The whole battle helmet with explosives motif was first established in Marvel issue 24 "Cobra Commander Escapes" - one of my favorite issues! The artist was also one of the cartoon artists, which is why this issue looks very similar to the cartoon style. Jason |

I finally got to read Action Force Redux No 3 this week, and one of the stories deals with Baron Ironblood's transition from leader of the Red Shadows to becoming Cobra Commander. This is not something that happens in my universe but if you believe in this continuity then it gives a picture of what Cobra Commander looks like under the mask.
Sorry, doesn't really answer the original question, just thought it was an interesting coincidence.

I love when they captured CoCo and he was like, "Yeah go ahead and pull my helmet off without the combination" and he had a big-ass shaped charge back there.

A handlebar mustache and ponytail with John Lennon glasses? Seriously,Cobra Commander ! You look like a clown or how Destro once put it ,a world class buffoon.
