the comic book origins of the global
terrorists known as Cobra Commander you

your courts correction they why have to
answer to me what is it you want
I wanted as with most comic book
characters they’re often reimagining and
different versions to a character’s past
we have chosen to primarily follow the
storylines which unfolded in 1982 s GI
Joe a real American hero number one
which was later expanded upon in 1987 s
GI Joe a real American hero number 55 as
well as in 2012 Cobra annual number one
you incompetent steelhead your public
has cost me dearly
premature panic is the sign of an
immature mind the origins of Cobra
Commander are shrouded in mystery and
often contradicted by the villain
himself perhaps in an attempt to
perpetually keep his enemies in the dark
when it comes to their eternal nemesis
Cobra Commander’s first comic book
appearance was right alongside the Joe’s
in a story called
operation lady doomsday from GI Joe
number 1 during which the commander and
his Cobra comrade the Baroness kidnap a
renowned nuclear physicist by the name
of dr. adel Burkhardt GI Joe members
Scarlett and Snake Eyes embark upon a
daring rescue mission to save dr.

the doctor should the Joe’s not drop
their weapons a skirmish soon follows
between the two teams

wounds during the struggle cobra
commander escapes arrest setting up what
will be the first of many standoffs the
Joe team would have with the terrorist

given a slightly more detailed backstory
in issue number 55 of GI Joe a Real
American Hero where it’s revealed that a
young Cobra Commander actually worked as
a used-car salesman
prior to his career of international
terror this revelation is spoken in
rather casual conversation to the
commander’s right-hand man destro as the
two are driving around in disguise
before being stopped by a state trooper
the mood
quickly turns serious however when the
trooper seems to recognize the commander
from a wallet photo found at the scene
of a horrific fiery car crash a year
prior the victim of which was a young
man by the name of Philly
the trooper reveals that Billy aka Cobra
Commander’s tortured and estranged son
laid comatose in local hospital after
suffering severe eye and leg trauma it’s
here where a surprisingly human side to
the commander is shown as the Cobra
leader takes a detour with destro to the
hospital where he shares an apologetic
and emotional moment with his
unresponsive son destro reminds the
commander of his confrontations with
Billy in the past yet Cobras chief in
