BAD GIRLS! Every Cobra & Enemy Female RANKED

[@lordsubziro2824]

The Baroness is my favorite Cobra female because of her Battle Ready Armor. She's also the first Cobra female character to be introduced. Hail Cobra!!!!

[@masterchief247]

For me, that beginning sequence of the movie with Pythona getting through all the Cobra defenses to get to Serpentor put me in awe as a kid. I thought to myself, this woman just took down all of Cobra by herself, which the entire GI Joe team hasn't been able to do EVER!! From that moment on, I loved her. Just loved her character. I wanted more from her and was sad she died at the end.

[@Googleisstupid-sk3hm]

Cobra....lalalalala 😅

[@chrisleitzel2659]

It was a cool sequence, but Cobra has always been bad at security. In the Weather Dominator miniseries saw Roadblock and Honda Lou get through the Cobra Temple and right into the control room and to Cobra Commander.

Cobra has a higher turnover rate than a telemarketer call center 😂

[@zacharyforeal]

Plot twist... Cobra Commander owns several telemarket call centers to help finance his schemes.

[@falcon048]

I find it interesting that few people know the origin behind Zarana's character design. Her unique look is based on Wendy Williams the late lead singer of the Plasmatics. From the hair to the face to the attitude, it's spot on.

[@alphaeagle9615]

One character that I'm surprised you didn't list is cadet Deming. I believe she was in just one episode of the series. She was in that 2 part episode about Shipwreck (There's no place like Springfield) in which she tried to get the formula from Shipwreck's mind and ended up going insane. It was crazy. And there was another female cadet in the second season who tried to kill Leatherneck. I can't remember the episode or character name. Oh, and Zarna was also in love with mainframe in the animated series.

[@michaeljfoley1]

Yeah, Cadet Deming sprang to my mind as well. Very short appearance, but very memorable and dramatic. From two of the best episodes of the Sunbow series.

[@JGreen-le8xx]

The others will be forgotten to the sands of time, because there can only be one. The Baroness. A character Sienna Miller did justice in her role.

[@michaeljfoley1]

Yeah, Baroness is definitely #1, objectively. However, Zarana is my favorite. It's similar to the Joes, where Scarlett is objectively #1, but my favorite is Lady Jaye. I guess I just like the rougher, scrappier ladies with lots of attitude.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I can see that. Zarana is a great character

[@jonathanspivey437]

Honestly, its dang hard for me to decide between Baroness and Zarana. One thing I always found really hot about Zarana(not the only thing of course) was that tear on her jeans that was suppose to be giving a small peak at her pink pantyhose.

[@michaeljfoley1]

@@jonathanspivey437 I think on the original Zarana design, the tear was suppose to show her bare skin underneath. But maybe that was considered too much skin, on the original toy? Either way, torn jeans are sexy and badass, so I love that detail.

[@jonathanspivey437]

@@michaeljfoley1 I didnt know that. But on the Zarana action figure I hade the part of the leg shown in the jean tear was pink, clearly not the same as what her skin was, so I always assumed it was because she was wearing pink hose underneath her jeans.

[@charlesross7673]

Here's what I could find as additions: Undertow Officer, Astoria Carlton-Ritz, Julie Kreig, Cadet Demming, Chameleon, Rednok, Tempest, Leila, Evy, Daemon, Savane, and Siren.

[@Jeffroh]

The ladies of Cobra are real snake charmers.

[@diegoborges3716]

You forgot Chameleon, the Baroness's sister, who defected to GI Joe and became some kind of Bond Girl in the IDW series.

[@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal]

I have her on the good girl list, because she was a double-agent, but yes, she could have been on both technically

[@johnnymason2460]

This was pretty interesting; my GI Joe knowledge is a bit more peripheral, so the only characters I even _knew_ from the list were the Baroness, Zarana, Pythona... and bottom-of-the-list Dr Biggles-Jones, who I know from her crossover into the Transformers series...

[@christopherulichney]

They need to do a Bikini Baroness action figure. My favorite episode of the original cartoon series is the Gamemaster just for the Baroness in it.

[@mathieuduval7544]

Awesome vid as always, been watching the cartoon series lately (still my favorite) when are they gonna make a new one!!!??...really hoping they make a Pythona classified version soon

[@dgray3771]

Baroness is the nr 1,2 & 3. As a comic character, anime character and figure. She is probably the figure that set the bar for toys for boy kids interested in a female character. I remember that with the Transformers team they were super hesitant to bring a female character at all. But the groundwork by GI Joe but also with M.a.s.k where you have Vanessa for example paved the way for many more female characters.

[@egodeth]

Wanted to spotlight some of Vypra's awesomeness. In addition to her Arashikage training background, she's a courier/vehicle driver. According to her filecard it says she snuck into Extensive Enterprises unnoticed to have a face-to-face interview with Cobra Commander who hired her on the spot. After a successful completion of CC's trial mission, she earned the privilege of having her pick of Cobra's motorpool for her missions. She's gotta be near the top of the list of Cobra vehicle drivers, comparable to Heartwrencher in skill with scout/medium attack vehicles. Like Firefly, Vypra's also done a very effective job of keeping her real identity secret, using pseudonyms like Ann A. Conda to throw people off her true identity. She's very high on my list of effective COBRA operatives, along with Munitia. Also, Crimson Asp is a COBRA-adjacent nepo baby as well; her dad is Coils O' Doom, a MARS-employed mercenary who had at least 1 run-in with a young Joe Colton back in the day.

[@jeancaron9325]

I always think Cobra needed more female members.

[@pixelforge4858]

great video. cant believe they swapped my boy boa like that

[@chrisleitzel2659]

Interesting the gender swap did nothing to change her from being the Brutal trainer we know Big Boa to be.

[@eduardo130579]

Amazing videos !!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Do top : BEST CHARACTERS EXCLUSIVE FROM VEHICLES Continue the good work

[@jamesh2321]

I remember an episode of the old original 80s animated series where (I think it was the one with "the viper" who turned out to be a 'v'indow 'v'iper) where some random numbers were fed to the Joes by "the viper" and it turned out to be a secret cobra R&R base under the frozen Antarctic. For whatever reason the guys were taken out of the fight so a bunch of she-cobra troopers rallied to fight for their guys and it was hilarious and awesome all in one.

Pythona definitely seems to be growing in popularity recently, I'm really eager to see her role in the Skybound comics grow. Cobra La feels like it's getting a redemption in Skybound.

[@chrisleitzel2659]

Munitia was one of the new characters Hasbro made during the Joe VS Cobra era. Cobra mostly had intelligence operatives/spies like Baroness and Zarana. But with Munitia, she feels less spy and more stone cold, ruthless killer I could have run an op.
