Egotistical and paranoid, Cobra Commander spends the majority of his time raging against the corrupt American system that he sees as taking advantage of the little guy. With a background story revolving around family, emotional scars are what fuel his thirst for revenge. However, even with Destro and the Baroness at his side, the Joes always manage to foil his plans.
