For that moment, you are the one in full control as you see fit. Contrast that with the Joes--some freedom, but are confined to a fix set of rules and personalities and structure. Not so with Cobra.

With this mentality in mind, how rediculous would have been for G.I.*JOE to have a brainwave scanner? But it's ok with Cobra.
What about a guy who can camouflage himself like a chameleon, a guy who dresses like a bird, a special army made up of nothing but lawyers and accountants? All that would have seemed silly if they were Joes, yet they seem to work as Cobras.
Look at the Cobra vehicles vs the Joe vehicles. At first They were both fairly conventional and could be real, but while the Joes for the most part maintained a conservative and real design to most of their vehicles, Cobra's lot tend to be boarderline Sci-Fi and just plain out of this world at times. Although that has nothing to do with good or evil, it's the idea of being not only able to "think outside the box" but to just throw the box out the window and start with a clean slate.

Some people, when trying to avoid thinking about those things that cause them pain, turn to drink, or perhaps food, or drugs... I turn not to any of those... I collect action figures, turning my mind to the hunt, so that I might find a mote of peace... Over the years, I've found that alcoholism is much more socially acceptable by far.
