We did get one in Retaliation, they just hardly used him.

Where the fuck did this guy even come from anyway? How does a terrorist organization manage to manufacture endless amounts of military grade equipment and build an entire army made up of white Americans? What's the hook, does COBRA offer really good dental?

You're going to think I'm talking shit, but this is canon, word of God, Larry Hama himself.
COBRA funds itself via Pyramid Schemes. And before he founded it, Cobra Commander was a Used Cars Salesman.
Cobra Commander's finest hour: G.I. Joe Resolute! He got some good licks in there...

Nah, I've heard that before and I get the idea that Cobra Commander himself is just a megalomaniac who got rich through white collar crime and desires political power, but where does the endless army of American mooks come from? Last time I check Cobra doesn't seem to be religiously motivated and I don't think they're nazis, so what's the draw that convinces such huge amounts of Americans to launch suicide attacks on the us army on us soil? Are they socialists? Do they have an agenda they want to impose on the country. In all the GI Joe cartoons I've seen it seems like all the cobra agents are white or a ninja, so they're clearly not muslims.

When >>93325035 asked if Cobra had good dental they weren't far off. They offer benefits like room and board, good salary, paying off tuition and shit like that
>>93325209
Disaffected and impoverished Eastern Europeans obviously.

CooooBRAAAAA

They also make extra cash from selling their own tech on the black market. Joes blew up your death ray before you could threaten to zap Washington for ransom? No biggie, you can make more dough off the blueprints for it.

Judge Anon could write a whole book on GI Joe.

Cobra Commander is the best.

I asked this in another thread but I forgot which one but what the hell is going on with IDW CC now? Last I read Krake was the Commander and now Tomax is. Not only that but Iron Klaw and Baron Ironblood are now in the mix?

You just can't replace perfection.
Cobra, now thatssss a name I haven't heard in a long time.
>>93330037
Old Snake was a cool guy.

Almost every time some Cobra mook talked they had an Australian accent in the series.

People who slipped through the cracks, basically. Coal mining company shuts down, putting entire communities out of business, housing bubble crashes and thousands are left without a home, low income neighborhood gets gentrified and all the poor people have to live somewhere. And out comes Cobra Commander, who offers you room and board and only asks your loyalty in return.
It's not entirely unlike how extremist groups like ISIS or Al Qaeda recruit people. Find desperate losers, tell them it isn't their fault, give them someone to blame and hate and sic them on them. They'll go to their deaths and thank you for the opportunity on the way out.
