"COBRA" was some sort of evangelical/sales hustle he masterminded, and yet he came to believe deeply enough in its ethos of shooting blue lasers and losing pitched battles that he realized it needed to be led by a real man's man made from the DNA of some true world-beaters

this is, I think, the trajectory for any kind of sales wonk with no skills past networking, white papers, and the "gift of gab." Cobra Commander did the work, you see. He Organized. He got out in the Streets. And he was cucked by his subordinates and swallowed by his own creation

that would've been a great episode though, wouldn't it? where you see CC checking his PayPal to see another $200mil contribution that's actually from "Duke" that he puts toward his Magical Murder Machine (plans sold to him by Shipwreck dressed as a sheik or some such thing)

meanwhile, you've got the Baroness texting all kinds of compromising DMs to "Beach Head", "leaking" as it were. And it becomes clear that CC is pretty much just this guy they let lose over and over, even funding his losing, and you realize his whole team is paid by the Joes
