A secret cabal of Cobra scientists, under the direction of
The
Interrogator and Destro, combed
the dusty vaults, tombs, sarcophagi, and relics of
the great, long-dead despots of history, to scrape together cells with DNA traces.
Their warped plan was to create a supreme leader dedicated to evil. They
succeeded beyond their wildest dreams. From these
genetic blueprints they produced a composite clone with the
military genius of Napoleon, the ruthlessness of Julius Caesar, the
daring and fearlessness of Hannibal, and the fiscal acumen of Attila the Hun. A master of political intrigue and a brilliant
tactician, his plans are subtle, vicious, and intricate, making him a formidable
enemy. He is capable of wresting power from
Cobra Commander for the
benefit of The Interrogator and Destro. Fortunately, the Cobra Emperor's own
ambitions were not taken into consideration by his creators. The conquests of the distant past still echo in his
mind, urging him to achieve the glory his DNA still remembers... and
he'll stop at nothing to again grasp the world in his hands.
Serpentor was active within Cobra's command structure in the United States
beginning in 1986 and until 1993. During that time, he was notably involved in the operations Terror on the Tundra and Terrifying Lasers of Destruction. After the command of his last mission went awry, he disappeared entirely for almost a decade. He returned to prominence within Cobra in 2002 and has remained active up
until at least 2005.
