Good morning. I use the name "Cobra Commander" and I am the founder of COBRA, an organization you "great" and "glorious" people tend to dismiss as criminals. I have always believed that money brings power. This was an error that has caused me a lot of pain. It recently occurred to me however that if I had all the power, then everyone would bring me all the money. I therefore make the following proposition: you have twenty-four hours to turn control of your nations over to me, or I begin killing nations until such time as you hand over the keys. Now, obviously, no one's going to believe me... and all of you will attempt to mobilize against me... and so, I illustrate my point... [Cobra Commander fires his nuclear warheads, decimating Moscow] You have twenty-four hours.
~ Cobra Commander right before vaporizing Moscow.
And this is how I win the world. This juncture, of course, is usually where the wheels come off, but not this time. Cutting the traitor, Major Bludd's heart in half right in front of you, right here in this room, should have gotten the point across. It suited me once to appear weak and cowardly, because it motivated you people to think! But today... is a new day. There will be no move to take over my command. There will be no mistakes. There will be none of your crap! NONE OF IT! Work with me, and I'll give you the world in less than twenty-four hours. Work against me, and I will gut you like a fish. Right here.
~ Cobra Commander's speech to his minions.

Cobra Commander is the main antagonist of the 2009 series G.I. Joe: Resolute. The ruthless founder and leader of COBRA, Cobra Commander threatens to destroy multiple cities unless if the world nations give him complete worldwide domination and tries to destroy G.I. Joe when they start foiling his plans once again.

He was voiced by Charlie Adler, who also played Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: Renegades, Snively in Sonic the Hedgehog SatAM, Gazeem in Disney's Aladdin, Starscream in Transformers Cinematic Universe, Hamilton in Disney's Tarzan, Buck Huckster in Danger Rangers, Panza in the 1996 animated film version of The Prince and the Pauper, and Red Guy in Cow & Chicken.

Personality[]

Cobra Commander here is a much more ruthless incarnation than usual. He is a megalomaniac who tried to destroy multiple cities just to try and make the world submit to him and his rule, even testing his weapon on Moscow which led to the deaths of thousands of innocent people and trying to nuke Washington D.C. out of spite for G.I. Joe foiling his plans. He is also much more abusive to his minions than in the original show despite trying to manipulate them into joining him and COBRA for world conquest, to the point of cutting one's heart out for betrayal and slitting another one's throat for a delay in weapon firing. He also eventually decided to slaughter his command center when his plans begin to fail in a villainous breakdown. Overall, this incarnation is one of the darkest versions of him to date.

Biography[]

Several years since Cobra's last amount of activity, the Joe's have their work cut out for them. However, that all changes when the Commander himself addresses the assembled UN delegates via hologram with an ultimatum to give control of all their nations to him or have them be destroyed one by one using Cobra's newest and deadliest weapon, the Space Laser Particle Beam. He decides to test his weapon on the entire state of Moscow, thus leading to the state's destruction and the deaths of 10,382,754 innocent people in the process. He gave them twenty-four hours to comply before he would start destroying the nations.

Naturally, GI Joe acted quickly, but the Commander had been expecting this and retaliated by crippling their battleship with most of their commanders on it. He then assembled his men in one room and addressed them, telling them he is not the coward of a man he used to be, that whoever thought they were man enough to challenge him would be cut down in this very throne room, as what happened with Major Bludd when he tried to betray Cobra Commander and as a result got his heart cut out in half by him, and that his plan is completely fool proof. But still the Joes managed to destroy the previously decommissioned Siberia base that housed the laser and destroy the satellite jamming system. But it was discovered that the Cobra Commander still had another cannon housed in his base of Springfield and destroyed the Joe battleship once and for all. The Joes then took the fight to the Commander and attacked him head on. Battling their way through the hordes of Vipers, Duke managed to make his way to the control room but was mocked by a sheltered Commander.

Cobra Commander then seals himself in a bunker that is completely bulletproof and bombproof with its own food supply, life support system, and power generator. He taunts Duke that the system is set on Washington DC and there is no way to stop it. Duke then shoots the lock on the door, and retorts to a cackling Commander that it was to keep him inside his protective bunker. When the Commander glances to the monitor, he notices that it now has its target as Springfield. The Commander spends his last moments pounding on the door of his bunker and cursing G.I. Joe. However, after the explosion, Cobra Commander is absent from the bunker, with heavy implications he managed to escape and survive for another day, planning to exact revenge against G.I. Joe for ruining his plans.

Quotes[]

Do not move against me. Do not disobey me. Do as I command and you will receive unimaginable rewards.
~ Cobra Commander talking to his minions and promising great power and respect if they work for him and don't try and betray him.
Less than twelve hours, and it's all. Gone. Wrong. I mean, you know I missed some of them with the cannon shot! You know it! There is only one thing to do. Ramp up the reactor output! I want to start striking cities randomly, until they give me what I WANT!
~ Cobra Commander's villainous breakdown as he orders his minions to destroy various cities across the world.
What!? They're coming here!? Launch the defense swarm, you morons!!
~ Cobra Commander demanding his minions to try and kill all of G.I. Joe from foiling his plans.

Trivia[]

  • Charlie Adler used his Starscream voice for Cobra Commander in this show, much like how Chris Latta used more or less the same voice for both characters in the 80s.
  • His toy has a slight inaccuracy in his weapon compared to the show itself. In the show, he wields a longsword, which uniquely has the hilt of a cavalry saber, his toy on the other hand has a blade of a cavalry saber and a slightly altered hilt.
