This got me to thinking...one of the reasons why I hated the Cartoon was it's portrayal of Cobra Commander. Whiney, sniveling, weak. High pitched unrealistic voice and behavior.

I'll disagree with you there! Chris Latta is the man!
GIJoe CGI movies and Sigma 6 have been making it a practice to still mimic his voice work.
Cobra Commander in the cartoon was insane, selfish, and greedy. Latta's high pitched, snake like voice was perfect and to me, one of the most enduring aspects of Cobra Commander's character. When I read the comics, I hear that voice.
Terrorism as a means of global domination is pretty cowardly on the whole, so I have no problems with Cobra Commander being protrayed as spineless. I don't think there's anything about him that is brave, cartoon or comic, otherwise, he wouldn't be doing what he's doing. He wouldn't be Cobra Commander.
