Leader of the ruthless terrorist organization, Cobra, the Commander is a blood-thirsty dictator bent on overthrowing the governments of the world. Cobra Commander rules his organization from the terrordrome, a technological fortress in the middle of Cobra Island, the main headquarters of Cobra's worldwide network. Through legal means, Cobra Island became a soviergn nation under the UN banner. And the Commander has used this to victory to his advantage, spreading his propaganda to those who will listen.

The Commander's eyes narrowed as he leaned forward in his throne.
"What was that?"
The viper swallowed the knot in his throat as he tried to remain steady as he replied to the Commander.
"We...were unable to retrieve the package."
"Ah, that's what I thought you said", Cobra Commander leaned back in his seat, looking down at the two soldiers standing at the base of the steps leading up to his throne. This was his ornately decorated audience chamber, a place where he could remind his underlings just who ruled Cobra.
The two vipers were part of a mission, a supposed secret mission, in which they were to retrieve a vital piece to the Commander's doomsday weapon.
To say he was angry at their failure was an understatement.
The Commander pulled out his sidearm and shot the viper in the head.
The other soldier jumped in fright at the shot and remained frozen in shock as two of the Commander's guards silently strode up and removed the body.
"Go on", the Commander bade the surviving viper.
"Why were you unable to secure the package?"
The Commander waited to hear the inevitable reply of "it was the Joes", but that answer never came.
"It was weird. Some sort of group of freaks. They were all cat-people, dressed up like superheroes. One guy, the leader, looked like a lion. Carried a big ****ing sword-"
BLAM!
Smoke slowly wafted up from the barrel of the Commander's gun as the guards gragged the body of the viper away.
