The Joe Hoodies
Description: Destro is one of the most cunning foes the Joe Team has ever faced. He is the power behind M.A.R.S. (Military Armament Research Syndicate), one of the largest manufacturer of state-of-the-art weaponry. His business is fueled by inciting unstable countries to wage wars against each other and then getting them to purchase weapons from him. To him, war is simply man's expression of his most natural state. It is the perfect example of where the fittest survive and where many technological advances are made. His biggest client, thus far, is Cobra with whom he maintains an alliance of convenience. Despite being a manipulative person, Destro maintains a sense of honor and actually respects the Joe Team for their skills or expertise.
Description: G.I. Joe comics have been a significant part of the G.I. Joe franchise since 1967, with Hasbro licensing the comic books. The franchise has seen multiple publishers and series, including Marvel Comics, Devil's Due Productions, and IDW Publishing.

Joe comic book history is detailed in a section on Wikipedia, providing a comprehensive overview of the series' evolution and impact.
Description: For at least 40,000 years, Nemesis Enforcer was the man Golobulus turned to for military or enforcement tasks. He was first seen capturing a couple of dozen G.I.Joes who’d pursued the Cobra Commander into Cobra-La. Enforcer “fetched” the fleeing Commander himself. Nemesis Enforcer subsequently took a hand in releasing Serpentor from G.I.Joe custody.
Description: As ruler of the secret race of Cobra-La, Golobulus has lived for centuries, possibly even as long as a million years. His people have perfected the bio-technology that it has guaranteed him near-immortality. They have replaced just about every part of his body at many points in his lifetime that his brain and central nervous system are all that remain of the original. He believes that he must survive at all costs so that his people may rise as the dominant species of Earth. He utterly despises Homo sapiens with every fiber of his being and will let nothing get in the way of his goals.
Description: As I tied my Joe Versus the Volcano collection together with the iconic "crooked path" lightning bolt symbol that occurs throughout the film, I thought one of the pieces should be just the symbol itself. But I needed a color scheme that was thoroughly Joe-centric. Upon one of countless viewings of the film, the orange Jump Soda cans the Waponi drank (and wore) *jumped* out at me and then I had the answer.
Description: For this piece, I created an old school medical chart, simplifying the dreaded "Brain Cloud," Joe Banks's condition in Joe Versus the Volcano. I first drew it with just the cloud, but it was missing something. Then I realized what it needed was the iconic lightning bolt shape that continuously appears in the film. I decided to use this recurring "crooked path" symbol as the glue that ties together the three pieces in the collection, just as it ties together the various themes in the film.
