Appearances
During his campaign to strengthen Cobra by taking over several European
countries and brain-washing former Cobra agents, Cobra Commander had Dr.
Mindbender design and build a powered body armor suit. The armor was capable
of withstanding small arms fire, grenade launcher rounds, and even cuts
from a honed ninja blade. Also designed for the armor was a unique weapon
package. The suit even included a cellular phone built into its helmet!
Mindbender had the suit fit Cobra Commander so well that he could wear
it inconspicuously underneath his normal uniform.
This attribute helped Cobra Commander easily defeat Storm Shadow in
one-on-one combat. The ninja failed to realize that his adversary had added
advantage until it was too late. Snake-Eyes soon came to rescue his friend,
and he too faced Cobra Commander. The body armor likely saved the Commander's
life from being taken by the enraged Joe. Whether Cobra Commander continued
wearing the suit or not after it failed to help him best Snake-Eyes remains
unknown. |
