Listen, we all know Cobra Commander was the WORST leader in the history of terrorist organizations bent on ruling the world. His plans all were terrible, his troops couldn't hit the broad side of a barn when shooting fricking lasers, and all of his underlings like Destro and Dr. Mindbender were way smarter than him. But you have to give the man his due. There was just something endearing about his incredible incompetence. And he actually looked pretty cool, unlike Serpentor and his ridiculous snake outfit. ALL HAIL COBRA COMMANDER!  *NOTE: I am not considering the movie where he was a mutant alien. |

Cobra Commander was the cartoon version of Colonel Klink. No matter what tough spot he put the Joes in, they always found a way out - much like Hogan and the gang from Stalag 13.
GI Joe refused to do the J.O.B. to Cobra. They were the military version of Hulk Hogan.

He had the best voice in cartoons, except for Starscream  |

He was so good because he was what would happen if Starscream was in charge of the Decepticons.

I often wonder how he came into his position as the head of the terrorist organization. He had decent plans, but the forces of G.I. Joe were always there to Layeth the smack down.

I always think he started out as coffee boy, and then gladhanded his way to the top.
He was the Sammy Glick of villainy.

I still say he was banging the Baroness behind Destro's back. It's the only reason she had a job.

His fatal flaw was implementing B.A.T.s to do battle

Things went south on him when Sergeant Slaughter joined forces with The Joes. Cartoon Sgt. Slaughter was built like a brick house, wasn't he?

At least the Cobra Commander made you feel better about yourself. No matter how dumb you felt after failing a math test, you could go home turn on GI Joe, and watch someone dumber than you screw up the most foolproof of plans.

I hated the cartoon version, because the original one in the comic books was a badass.
