mmm, im like you in seeing him as the cartoon. that is and always will be cobra commander to me. but at the same time i dont want him to be stupid and foolish when i use him. but at the same time i dont want him all to serious, that would make for a dull bad guy. i would love to have him as a magneto like character, but that wont work.
as for a reason for him being the way he is, im sure you remember that his brother was killed while drunk driving(killing snake eye's family) and CC blamed snake eyes family for it. then he lost his job or whatever and blamed "THE MAN" for this and for holding all small business owners and workers down. this is the reason he first started Cobra.
i dont like this and i think it is probably the stupidest thing i had ever read in a comic book to make a bad guy. i mean a guy who hates society so he starts a group of blur collar workers who wear blue and fight the government... sounds like dale from king of the hill should be second in command.
if you read my last dio you will see that my CC is determined and ruthless. there isnt much he will not do to reach his goals. kill a million people? sure, why not. send his best and most trusted men to die, even someone he loves? sure, he believes in what he is doing and knows sacrifices must be made. if it would achieve his goal, he would die himself. but even with all of this, he is not a fighter, that is why he has the battle armor. this is what makes him so dangerous, a man who knows and will do what it takes to get the job done, but at the same time he knows and accepts him limits.
