Not to mention besides that, the paranoid quack also has the faceplate of his mask lined with an electrical charge both in the toon and comics.
That's how he escapes in this very issue to begin with, two guards are stupid enough to say, "Let's take off his mask and see if we can make his face more uglier."
But yeah, Comics Cobra Commander always had a ton of good moments. This, shooting his son, and killing Mindbender are probably his best antics in the first run of Devil's Due.
Course in the third run aka America's Elite he so take's it up a notch. God there's just so much evil villainy there to be had. Hmm.. perhaps it's time to post scans of him burying every enemy he had at the time in a volcano.
