Billy spent much of his life fighting against the Cobra organization, first as an underground member in the Cobra-controlled town of Springfield and later as a ninja and GI Joe trainee. He despised everything about the terrorist group, despite the fact that Cobra's founder, Cobra Commander, was his father!

While visiting Destro, Zartan, and the Baroness at Destro's castle in Trans-Carpathia, Billy was captured by Cobra Commander who had come to the mountain hideaway to activate mental implants that would return Zartan and Destro to Cobra's service. Cobra took the Baroness and Billy captive and subjected them to an improved version of Dr. Venom's brainwave scanner. Rather than zombify the two subjects, the scanner transformed them into totally loyal agents of Cobra! Billy fought against Snake-Eyes, who had come to rescue a brainwashed Storm Shadow, in the Silent Castle. The commando's attack was repelled, and Billy returned to his unquestioning servitude.
