The Story of the other women of Cobra who operated in the shadows while the Baroness and Zarana took the heat.Back in the 80s, GI JOE was already doing more with its female characters than most toy lines dared, and in this episode I take a deep dive into the lesser-known women of Cobra who never quite became household names. From unhinged scientists and elite operatives to Dreadnoks, defectors, and power players pulled straight from the comics, cartoons, and collector-club exclusives, I break down who they were, what they did, and why they still matter. Along the way, I connect the dots between Marvel, Devil’s Due, Transformers crossovers, and modern Classified releases — with lore, figures, and just the right amount of 80s-raised commentary.
