Cobra's 2015 Personnel and Equipment

Personnel:

AVACs: Air-Vipers, Advanced Class, or AVACs, are elite Cobra pilots that are seemingly fearless, and capable of performing advanced calculations in their head. Both qualities are vital if one wishes to pilot the so-called Pocket Rocket: the Firebat! Availability:

Doctor Mindbender: formerly a mild-mannered orthodontist, Doctor Mindbender came into being after the man tested out brain-wave altering devices meant to alleviate dental pain on himself. His personality polarized, he became a literal mad scientist! Availability:

Firefly: a true artist of a saboteur, Firefly enjoys destroying all which is supposedly invulnerable. The adopted son of the Koga ninja clan, Firefly also takes great pride in never being seen before, during, or after he demolishes his targets! Availability:

HISS Drivers: trained in the use of both High Speed Sentries and FANG helicopters, these villains are the cream of Cobra's terroristic crop. Much less expendable than their standard troops, HISS Drivers are highly skilled in all manner of vehicular combat. Availability:

Night Creeper Leaders: while individual bearers of this title come and go over time, the Night Creeper Leader is the member of that bizarre ninja band which is currently the overall greatest in both their martial arts skill and the accumulation of great wealth. Availability:

Slice: a rogue member of the already infamous Arashikage ninja clan, Slice isn't interested in perfecting his martial prowess. No, he only wants to utilize it to line his pockets, something he and his partner, Dice, easily manage working for Cobra! Availability:

Vypra: having as many backgrounds as there are days in the week, Vypra maintains many identities - even that of twin ninjas! Regardless of her origins, her position as a rough and tumble Cobra courier cannot be denied, a job she enjoys almost too much! Availability:

Crimson Guard:

Crimson Guard Immortals: elite amongst the Crimson Guard, themselves the apex of Cobra forces, the Immortals seem like super soldiers! Leaders of men and masters of war, Crimson Guard Immortals are so mighty that they're feared even by GI Joe! Availability:

Dreadnoks:

Zartan: a 'zen cosmic biker hitman', the man known only as Zartan is a criminal with astounding powers of camouflage, regeneration, and super-human strength. Though no one really knows why he did so, Zartan is also the founder of the Dreadnoks. Availability:

Iron Grenadiers:

Annihilators: thanks to the heli-pack assigned to each Annihlator, these airborne soldiers may be instantly deployed from any location! Serving as Destro's personal bodyguards, Annihlators work together to guarantee his safety - and that of their paychecks! Availability:

Iron Grenadiers: drawn from the ranks of earth's elite mercenaries, the Iron Grenadiers are the core of Destro's personal army. Insidious saboteurs and relentless arms dealers, the Iron Grenadiers are supremely motivated, as they get a cut of every MARS sale! Availability:

Metal-Head: a walking, talking anti-tank weapon, Metal-Head gleefully destroys armor (or just about anything else) with the utmost of skill. Sure, he almost compulsively hones his skills on everything in his environment, but you can't argue with results! Availability:

Undertow: the underwater combatants of the Iron Grenadiers, Undertow are excellent spies and saboteurs. Stalking the polluted waterways of all industrialized nations, Undertow steal what secrets they can, and destroy what they can't carry home with them. Availability:

Python Patrol:

Croc Master: obsessed with crocodiles all his life, the man known only as Croc Master founded Guard Gators, Inc., to sell his babies as a deadly security system. This endeared him with Cobra's leadership, who needed to secure its large tropical Island! Availability:

Equipment:

the Basilisk: after receiving untold punishment from Snow Cats, Tiger Cats, Wolf Hounds, and Mark 2 HAVOCs over the years, Cobra finally stole the design for their own use. Thus, they now have another all-terrain, half-track combat vehicle at their disposal! Availability:

the Rail HISS: an upgraded Mark 3 HISS, the Rail HISS features a neon orange paint job, but otherwise functions identically. Save, of course, for the twin rail guns that replace its usual, twin 30mm cannons. They drastically improve its offensive capability! Availability:

the Scythe: when GI Joe upgraded their first fighter aircraft, itself based upon the F-14 Tomcat, Cobra made it a point to steal the group's data regarding the process. Using this, they built themselves a line of Scythes, veritable clones of GI Joe's greatest jet! Availability:

the Wave Crusher: a mainstay of the GI Joe arsenal for decades, the SHARC is a vehicle ahead of its time, in that it is a submarine that can take to the air at a moment's notice! Why else do you think Cobra stole its technology for its own use? Availability:
