JoeDios.com Forums - View Single Post - Why Do You Like COBRA?

My fascination with Cobra came after 2002. Part of it has to do with their sheer numbers of troops AND the fact that they have a million TYPES of troops. I liked that most of their bad guys are masked too. Destro, CC, Zartan (to an extent), Firefly, Storm Shadow, etc.

As a kid I preferred GI Joe simply cuz each character was unique. My all time faves fall on the Joe side. I have to think of who I liked in terms of Cobra back then. Maybe Storm Shadow (because ninja weren't quite as popular yet)? Maybe Zartan who could change color and came with a neat swamp skiier thing.

I like the comment about CC just wanting to sew the seeds of chaos. I might play up that aspect as opposed to CC wanting to take over the world.
