Serious gripe of mine is how the worlds most elite counter-terrorist team never figured out that Baron Ironblood and Cobra Commander were one and the same, when the evidence was overwhelming! You can probably add more clues to the list, but heres some to get the ball rolling:
1. Baron vanishes after extorting $200 BILLION from the worlds governments and is never seen again. However, shortly thereafter, from nowhere, appears Cobra, an amazingly well funded terrorist organisation led by a leader who wears a full face mask!
2. Cobra uses numerous weapons formerly used by the Shadows including: Hyena Tank, Roboskull (

3. Cobra has amongst its number of villains a bionic man with a silver head (I mean honestly, how many of these are out there walking around?) who is suspiciously similar to Red Jackal.
4. Cobra's chief pilot (of a Roboskull no less) is Red Wolf!
5. The Red Shadows were fanatics, willing to die for their leader. Cobra soldiers are fanatics willing to die for their leader. Being able to inspire that level of fanaticism is actually a fairly rare trait.
Anyway, what do the rest of you think?
