The one true origin for animated Cobra Commander should be that he was the bad guy from Big Foot and the Muscle Machines, and that he created COBRA to defeat Yank Justice. That keeps intact the all important Used Car Salesman angle. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigfoot_and_the_Muscle_Machines

Suleman posted:Yes. Cobra started out as essentially a pyramid scheme. COBRA is Amway with guns. Seriously. And, yes, Cobra Commander was - in the comics, anyways - originally a used car salesman; his older brother served repeated tours in Vietnam in order to keep him from being drafted (one draftee per family at a time, that was the policy). His brother, Dan, came home with what we would today call PTSD and took to driving recklessly and ended up killing the family of the man who would later become Snake Eyes because G.I. Joe Continuity is loving convoluted.

DivineCoffeeBinge posted:COBRA is Amway with guns. And that's before we even get into the ninjas and things get very complicated. It also bears noting early on in the comics that Cobra had a heavy message on how the US Government had betrayed its ideals, how it took from the common man with taxes, idealized small-town America, allied with seccessionists, and spoke in favor of unfettered capitalism... this may sound familiar.  Which makes a lot of sense once you realized Cobra Commander's creator based his comic book rhetoric on William F. Buckley's punditeering.

John Dyne posted:Logan wasn't wearing a helmet. Cause it's Logan, why does he need to wear a helmet while on a motorcycle? I've noticed that most characters seen riding motorcycles in Marvel go helmetless - I guess as mutants/superheroes/whatever, they are invulnerable/have a healing factor/are too awesome to have accidents/etc., are ignored by the cops/gonna ditch the cops anyway, and god forbid you can't easily identify them unless plot device. So, Logan, Cap/Bucky, even loving Dazzler (New Excalibur or whatever - right around the same time she died two or three times) are all tooling around bareheaded. (I seem to recall the Punisher wore a helmet, but that was more "Hey I can wear another skull" than "brains better on the inside".) <insert Nick Fury surfing that bike into S.H.I.E.L.D. HQ bareheaded and shirtless here> The only DC rider I can recall offhand, other than truly ancient 1970s/80s Batman cartoons, is Lobo, so... (Those with fiery skulls and EPA-nightmare Hellbikes probably have special dispensation and protection.)

In the visual medium of comics, putting a non-distinctive helmet on a character is potentially puzzling for readers. It also keeps characters from being able to show expressions or reactions.

The best part about that Sabretooth strip is that he jetpacks away. Why does he have a jetpack? I wish the canon reason for Cobra Commander's facemask is to protect his 'stache.

Alien Rope Burn posted:The G.I.Joe comic continuity and cartoon continuity are completely separate. Cobra Commander in the comics is notably different from the cartoon version, mainly in not being a reptoid, but also in generally being more competent and ruthless. He's still a cowardly weasel, but he isn't necessarily voiced by Christopher Collins. According to the writer Larry Hama, the comics Cobra Commander should sound like Orson Welles.

I'm more amused by that Wolverine/Sabertooth page because out out context it appears that Sabertooth just decided to gently caress with Logan in the most horrifying way possible, and then jetpack off giggling about it.

Sabertooth is alive again? He was beheaded by a magic sword, sent to hell and beheaded again in hell by another magic sword. What was the excuse for his resurrection this time?

Say Nothing posted:Sabertooth is alive again? He was beheaded by a magic sword, sent to hell and beheaded again in hell by another magic sword. Cloning, apparently. What really makes this jarring is that said second magic sword was supposedly to destroy souls, so Victor Creed should Clearly Most Sincerely Dead. I guess if you clone someone, you not only create a new soul, but keep all the clonee's memories? Comic books! If you're a main nemesis, it doesn't matter how hard one set of writers try to get rid of you, the next person who wants to use you will bring you back, by hook or by crook.
