Description: Zartan is a master of make-up and disguise. Very little is known of his background, but he is suspected to have received European military academy training at St. Cyr. Zartan can alter his skin color at will to blend in with his environment and is a practitioner of several mystic martial arts. He is also a ventriloquist, a polyglot (speaking over 20 languages and dialects), and an acrobatic contortionist. Zartan and the Dreadnoks have also been known to use holographic technology and other means to disguise themselves.
Description: Serpentor is the product of a conspiracy within Cobra to create the perfect soldier. A cabal of Cobra scientists led by Dr. Mindbender and Destro raided just about every tomb to contain history's greatest warriors. They scrounged every scrap of DNA they could that would serve as the genetic blueprint of this super soldier. Thanks to Mindbender's genius, Serpentor is imbued with the memories and experience of these legendary men. Serpentor possesses acute military genius, courage, daring, charisma, political knowhow and fighting prowess that easily overshadows Cobra Commander's. His creators neglected to take into consideration that the warriors from which Serpentor's DNA come from also happen to be cunning and ruthless leaders.
Description: Throughout his history, he has changed sides several times; conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe, and his blood brother, Snake Eyes.

Description: Of all the Dreadnoks, Road Pig may be the most fearsome of them all. With his immense strength, violent temper and antisocial behavior, he should have been a natural member of that infamous group of bikers. Yet, he was considered as too obnoxious and smelling worse than the other Dreadnoks care to be. He should have of gotten the boot right from the get go but, like the outlaw gang that took him in before them, they found it hard to say no to him. To placate him, they had to put him in "probationary status", making him the only member to have ever undergone this process. Right now, he's so obnoxious that they would like to kick him out but they still have yet to figure out how.
Description: One look at Chuckles and you wouldn't have given a thought he was an undercover agent. Most undercover specialists try not to stand out too much, their interaction with the enemy is often limited, most of their efforts are concentrated on the source for information, and they don't wear loud Hawaiian shirts. With his burly figure, Chuckles already stands out from the crowd. He has a gregarious personality that makes him the life of the party, quick-witted and possesses a natural likeability. He is very conscientious of his work that he'll volunteer for dangerous missions just to keep up his cover.
Description: Cobra Commander is a fanatical leader who demands total loyalty and seeks total control of the world's governments, people, wealth, and resources. He has led uprisings in various regions and kidnapped scientists, businessmen, and military leaders to reveal their top secrets. Despite facing assassination attempts and an imposter, Cobra Commander remains a constant threat to the G.I. Joe Team. His persona ranges from friendly and charismatic to terrifyingly brutal and psychopathic, making him a formidable adversary.
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: The Dreadnoks are a fictional biker gang from the G.I. Joe universe who are affiliated with Cobra as shock troops, offering their mercenary services as subordinates of their leader, Zartan. All Dreadnoks are uncouth and violent, and usually engage their enemies with unconventional and creative (many times crude) weaponry. Most, if not all, have shown a particular taste for chocolate-covered donuts and grape soda. The Dreadnoks also make a habit of torturing captured enemies, usually in bizarre ways such as exposure to pain-inducing laughing gas or tossing victims into pools of man-eating piranhas. Their headquarters is a compound hidden somewhere in the Florida Everglades.
Description: The Flagg was commanded by Admiral Keel-Haul and included a fueling tractor and fuel trailer. A deck sound system allowed you to simulate real flight deck announcements and commands to simulate the feel of an actual naval carrier's operations and battle alerts. Many collectors who have kept this expansive playset have customized it into larger iterations that include detailed below deck storage and living quarter dioramas. Be a Real Holiday Hero, Yo Joe!
