Nice, Raven.

As I have it, Destro and Zartan has their own forces. Would they come in to lead Cobra? Only if they have something to benefit by it. But otherwise, NO. Major Bludd is just an officer as is Commander Vlasko (custom) and Ghost Bear. Bludd takes care of the Vipers, Ghost Bear takes care of the Blueshirts (as seen in my dio) and Vlasko takes care of the Neo Vipers.

If CC should disappear, I believe the Twins would take over. But like in Devils Due, the Cobra organization would go underground.

As for Baroness, she works for both Destro and CC. She's kind of a liason between the two. Firefly, like Bludd, is a merc. But Firefly likes to run solo missions, not lead the troops. Scrap Iron is a merc too. Storm Shadow is the body guard w/ Slice and Slash doing their own thing under CC's orders.
