General Overview of the War.
G.I. Joe is the code name for America’s most elite fighting force. It is composed of both Americas most elite soldiers and fighting men from around the world. They have land, sea and air capabilities and access to the cutting edge of the world’s technology. They only undertake the most dire of missions. This mission at the moment is fighting Cobra. Cobra is a worldwide terrorist organization that wants to take over the world either by force or by other less obvious means. Cobra has access to vast amounts of wealth equal to or exceeding some nations G.D.P and as a result also have access to the latest in weaponry and technology. Cobra is not bound by any morals unlike GI Joe, so this leads to the development of many Bio weapons and other ways of harnessing power.

In Depth Overview of G.I . Joe and Cobra
Cobra
High Command.
Though the members of the Cobra organization are all fighting against G.I. Joe, there are many internal power struggles.
Cobra Commander - The leader and founder of Cobra. His face is almost always obscured either by a hood with only his eyes visible or by a featureless, high tech battle helmet with various security features integrated into it. He is regarded as the most dangerous man on Earth, because he can draw followers to him. Only Baroness and Destro have seen his face.
Destro or James McCullen Destro XXIV - A Scotsman who always wears a metal mask.He has often tried to take over leadership of Cobra. Destro is an arms dealer and his number one client is Cobra. He is the hereditary leader of M.A.R.S. (Military Armaments Research Syndicate) and uses his personal army the "Iron Grenadiers" to start conflicts in order to sell weapons to all of the combatants' parties. Destro has a warped sense of honor and a grudging respect for his G.I. Joe foes.
The Baroness or Baroness Anastasia DeCobray - The daughter of European aristocrats, who turned to terrorism after the murder of her brother, a relief aid worker that had been taken hostage and died when a group of Army Rangers attempted to rescue him. She serves as Cobra's Director of Intelligence and is romantically involved with Destro.
Doctor Mindbender - A mad scientist and former dentist. He has several mind-control devices. He is also quite accomplished withgenetic manipulation. He is responsible for the creation of the Cobra B.A.T. as well as responsible for perfecting the Brainwave Scanner. Though he is quite muscular, Mindbender is somewhat cowardly, preferring to avoid physical confrontations.
Tomax and Xamot - Twin brothers that lead the Crimson Guard and are the respectable corporate face of Cobra. When not engaged in dangerous field missions, Tomax and Xamot are in shirt and tie managing Cobra's business affairs. The brothers share an empathicconnection. While this is often useful, as it allows them to communicate wordlessly and finish each others sentences, it is also a liability, as they feel each other's pain during fights. Tomax and Xamot are mirror images of each other, except Xamot has a scar on the right side of his face . The twins run a corporation called Extensive Enterprises and are known more for their skills in the boardroom than on the battlefield.
Storm Shadow or Thomas "Tommy" Arashikage - A ninja trained in martial arts who serves as both an assassin and bodyguard for Cobra.
Zartan - The leader of the Dreadnoks as well as a master spy and assassin. He is a master of disguise able to be anyone anytime he wishes, often literally morphing into the exact physical form of the person he seeks to impersonate (an ability attributed to a series of mysterious genetic experimentation Zartan endured). In most continuities, Zartan is also capable of changing his skin color to blend in with his background. This special ability is disrupted by sunlight.
Dreadnoks - Led by Zartan and his siblings Zandar and Zarana, the Dreadnoks are a gang of militarized bikers who pull jobs for Cobra when finesse is not required and brute force is needed. Zartan used them for backup and brought them with him when he joined Cobra, with Zarana in particular becoming a top ranking agent of Cobra.
Rank and file
The vast majority of Cobra is made up of legions of uniformed soldiers, nearly all of them masked to appear anonymous and widely diversified according to specialties and functions. Some of the more prominent include:
Cobra Soldiers/Officers - These are the original "blueshirt" common grunts introduced in \basic infantry soldiers equipped with conventional military gear (as opposed to the the more hi-tech accouterments of the Vipers).
Crimson Guard - Led by Tomax and Xamot, these elite soldiers aare subjected to intense military training, and they are required to have a degree in either accounting or law, and are often used in deep cover operations, posing as civilians and politicians
Cobra Vipers Cobra infantry soldiers that complement the Cobra troopers. These Vipers are the upper echelon of the Cobra troops.
B.A.T.s - The Battle Android Troopers are intended as an alternative to living soldiers, the androids are hazardous due to their advanced weaponary.
Python Patrol - Python Patrol is an elite unit of Cobra units hand-selected by Cobra Commander. What makes this group stand out is their use of revolutionary stealth coating technology, masking their vehicles and uniforms from most forms of electronic detection.
G.I. Joe
G.I. Joe is the code name of an elite covert special forces unit operating under the control of the United States Military . It is composed of both Americas most elite soldiers and fighting men from around the world. They have land, sea and air capabilities and access to the cutting edge of the world’s technology. They only undertake the most dire of missions. Their Commanding officer is General Hawk and has a decending order of command from there.
