Who is he and why does he look like Cobra Commander without a mask?

Zanzibar is an ancient Arabic island, and the name roughly means, coast of black people. It has a long history of piracy and launching small skiffs from the shore to attack larger targets. The nation of Zanzibar is known as Tanzania now, ever since 1964 when it joined with the African mainland nation of Tanganyika to form the United Republic of Tanzania. Piracy remains active even today, although the majority of it is conducted by Somali Pirates operating in the area. Some former Hasbro designers have spoken about their company which once had strict requirements for villains to be white people and avoid racial stereotypes. I would guess that such a pirate, Zanzibar, had to look like that, even if he did have some resemblance to the in-mufti comic version of Cobra Commander. Zanzibar made his first Marvel Comics appearance in June 1987 with G.I. Joe A Real American Hero issue 60.

Zanzibar is cool, his vehicle is just dumb and he needs a better storyline.
He drives the same "kill me seat" that the HAVOC and Stun have, except without the firepower.
