This next series of pictures was just as G.I. Joe was really hitting it's stride. Some would say just after the "Golden Age". Cobra was getting a little weird at this point, as was it's leader. In one media, the Commander was a snake...in the other, he was dead and replaced by a Crimson Guard.

Regardless, CC in his Battle Armor looked pretty sharp for a dead guy...or a snake, for that matter.

But as odd as the Commander was...he was still eclipsed by the oddness of his henchman at the time...
