His goal is simple really: absolute power. Total control of the world-it's people, wealth, and resources-is the objective of Cobra Commander. This fanatical leader rules a vast, empire of evil and demands total loyalty and allegiance. His main battle plan for world control relies on revolution and chaos. He had personally led uprisings around the globe, heating up already-hoy spots and turning once peaceful regions into turmoil. He has kidnapped scientists, businessmen and military leaders to mine them for their secrets and skills, but he reliance on others can be hazardous to his health when one of his "evil geniuses" makes a critical mistake.

Tripwire is an accident waiting to happen. He's clumsy, jittery, all thumbs and a nervous wreck around people, unless he's working with explosives. Then he's calm and collected, with the skill and precision of a surgeon. Doesn't matter what type of explosive, detonator or blasting machine he's handling; he knows exactly how to make it work without missing a beat. He spent two years in a Zen monastery pondering the meaning of life, but he got expelled for breaking too many dishes and spilling every liquid in sight. Determined to make something of his shortcomings, he joined the Army and found his calling on the grenade range. Something about setting off explosives and watching bombs bursting in the air relaxes him. Hard to believe for a guy who seems to trip over air.

"You need to know everything there is about explosives before you ever go near them. I make sure anything that goes boom only does so when I want it to."
