 But we already know the origins of Cobra Commander... Oh wait they mean the IDW Cobra Commander.  Eh, unless it's the same as the Hama-verse I'm not to sure I'll be overly impressed. I mean to me most of his appeal was the fact that he was a home grown terrorist back before we even knew what that was. That actually was my biggest complaint about the Sunbow universe, the fact they made Cobra Commander into a resident of Cobra La.

One of the many reasons IDW has lost me. I can buy some change, i didn't want it to be Cobra-La based, but this Cobra as a long standing orginzation with many commanders thing feels far too different. I think I even prefer the ROC origin, because at least that way CC is a character, not just a title or a plot device. and the current CC? Just Krake to me. |

Everyone knows Cobra Commander is Rex Lewis, former squadmate of Duke and Ripcord and apprentice of Dr. Mindbender. How silly to think differently. |

..I don't know how many of you are reading IDW's Joe title('s) but ..their Cobra Commander is bad ass. He comes off as / is written as a serious threat not only to GI Joe but to his own employees and territories . The way he indirectly let a hacker employee know his stance on failure in a recent Special Missions issue (and the fact that he immediately followed up on that implied threat) was impressive. |

If this isn't one of the variants, this comic will suck.  =

Which Cobra Commander was that? The first one that basically showed up to eat a bullet or the second one that was some super-original-super-cool-original-IDW-creation-you-guuuuys that won the ridiculous "who can kill the most Joes" contest to become the new Cobra Commander? Or did a new one sprout up? |

The original Cobra Commander, late in the run, also had a way of dealing with failure: Attachment: 133p11.jpg [ 244.32 KiB | Viewed 595 times ] from Marvel's GI Joe #133 |

Wait, I thought Cobra Commander's name was Fred. And he was working as a mechanic, who then shot some hippie in the back and put on some armor to become the Cobra Commander.

After Fred shot him, he was buried alive, and a bunch more Freds dug him up and brought him back to life, where he had a crisis of conscience and then decided he was evil after all. |

Did it seem weird that when he talked about his recovery he looked just like all the Freds in the flashback scenes? |
