Did you know? Cobra Commander was a car salesman.

The GI Joe: A Real American Hero comics revealed the simple and dark origins of this character.

Before becoming Cobra Commander, he was just a used car salesman. His radicalization began after the death of his brother.

The loss of his brother led him to seek power and impose his worldview. Unable to avenge his brother's killer, who was another driver involved in a car accident, he became the leader of a ruthless terrorist organization with the goal of world domination. Few members of GI Joe knew the simple and dark origins of their enemy, and this common background made the Commander all the more dangerous.
