He looks the part, I admit! An action figure of him would be very welcome and even the sci-fi concept makes sense given developments in military research today.
So why do I hate him? I'm not too sure to be honest. I think it's because he's too powerful, and therefore may become a "deus ex machina" to rescue Cobra Command personel everytime they're in trouble. On top of that, he's helping to turn DESTRO into a bit of a bully; a trait I can't really accept from such a noble character. His confrontation with TOMAX & XAMOT in #34 left a bitter taste in my mouth.
I like what Brandon Jerwa is doing with the storyline otherwise, although I really want COBRA COMMANDER back in charge and the Cobra status quo back in place (Goodness sknows how he'll do it, though!). I honestly felt sorry for the Commander as he lay there bleeding, alone & ignored, while the JOE's tended to HAWK - It was such a sad image. I'm hoping CC was just a double sent out by the "real" commander, but I doubt it!
