## Biography

### Cobra Doctor

On July 4, 1995, when G.I. Joe begin to raid Heroica Veracruz, Mexico, Dr. Mindbender was ordered by James McCullen to flee with the rest of Cobra Leadership. He did so with Copperhead. *A Cold Lie*

Several Years Later in November of 2022, Dr. Mindbender was approached by McCullen and Cobra Commander and updated them on the Synthoid Project, and asked for a Brain Sample. After Baroness had returned with Dr. Castler, Dr. Mindbender was ordered by Cobra Commander to lobotomize Dr. Castler. *Old Snake*Dr. Mindbender lobotomized Castler and programmed his brain to become Serpentor. He welcomed Serpentor to the world, before he was crowned the new leader of Cobra. When G.I. Joe raided The Nest, Dr. Mindbender retreated with Baroness and climbed inside a submarine. When a disfigured McCullen entered the submarine, Dr. Mindbender used Nanaomites to transform his face into metal and dubbed him "Destro", and told him that he "Brought him closer to his family".

After the submarine took off from The Nest, Dr. Mindbender suggested ideas to exact revenge, and mentioned the Hypno-Ray. He then informed Destro that he won't be able to eat the same again. *Serpentor* *The American Archer* Mindbender had remained on the Sub as Destro and Baroness travelled to Russia. He then travelled to Nova Scotia, where he picked up Lady Kaye. *Retaliation*He injected her with a tracking device and failed to realize that she learned of Project: B.A.T. and the Amsterdam Island Project. *Renegades Part 2* He was told to leave her by Cobra Commander, and had jettisoned her from the Submarine miles away from the Canadian shore. *Retaliation*

On January 24, 2023, Dr. Mindbender was contacted by Baroness, who mentioned that they made it to The Nest, and Dr. Mindbender mentions that he still needs a day to get there.

The Next Day, he finally arrived to The Nest as the Cobra Agents were being attacked G.I. Joe. He informed Blipwire, who ordered the others to get to Mindbender's sub. After retreating, Baroness was shot by Shipwreck, and Dr. Mindbender began to operate on her to remove the bullet. *Return to the Light*

On March 15, 2023,Dr. Mindbender was given a shipment of Combaxium by Firefly, and had turned to give it to Dr. Chaos. He was then given an explanation on why they needed the Combaxium by Dr. Chaos. *Top Joe*

On June 24, Dr. Mindbender experimented on Dirk Manus and Mara Dearing, before being summoned by Serpentor.

A Month Later on July 24, Dr. Mindbender continued to run tests on Dirk Manus, unaware that Manus was sending coordinates to G.I. Joe.

A Day Later on July 25, he left his Lab, and accidentally allowed for G.I. Joe agents to enter it. When he returned to it, he was shot and injured by Shipwreck. Some time later, he awoke and saw as Firefly killed Dirk Manus, and agreed that they should flee Cobra Island.

A Couple of Days Later on July 27, he returned to Cobra Island, and found Dirk's body. *Fangs in the Dark Part 3*
