### Liberation & Old Snake

28 years later in November of 2022, Cobra Commander was freed from The Bastille by Victor Drath and his Cobra Strikers. He entered a limo and drove away with Victor. Upon the drive away from The Bastille, Cobra Commander informed Victor of McCullen's betrayal, before talking over the new plans for Cobra's endeavors.

Upon return to his new base near Belarus, he smacked McCullen across the face for his betrayal, before being shown how Cobra was allowed to grow during his incarceration. Cobra Commander then began to speak to Dr. Mindbender on the Synthoid Project, who asked what the hell they needed Synthoids for.

Cobra Commander then ordered Cobra to 'persuade' Dr. Steven Castler to join their cause. After Cobra had returned with Dr. Castler, Cobra Commander spoke to him on their ideologies, before ordering Dr. Mindbender to whip out his dick in front of Dr. Castler. *Old Snake*

Cobra Commander and his daughter watched as Dr. Mindbender created Serpentor.. He informed his daughter the theory Dr. Mindbender had and the logistics of the Synthoid Technology. After Serpentor had been created, Cobra Commander ordered Dr. Mindbender to get the man a big silly snake outfit. He later made an announcement to all of Cobra that he was leaving, since they were all big stupid idiots. He crowned Serpentor with a headdress before being approached by his daughter. He was wished luck by his daughter before leaving.

He travelled to Russia, where he was reunited with Colonel Ivan Brekhov. He then asked Brekhov if he was ready to lead the world into the Next Order. *Serpentor*Days later, he was found by Baroness and Destro, and shot Destro when the latter hugged his daughter. He then led the pair to Brekhov's hidden compound. He was informed how Cobra was neutralized, and explained why he left Cobra. He then informed the pair of his and Brekhov's plans to revive the Soviet Union. Old Snake had interrupted Serpentor's threat speech to the world, and told him that it's not how they do things. Some time later, he made a better threat speech to the world, before hailing "Cobra". *Retaliation*He then told Serpentor that that's how you give a speech, before telling Cobra to leave him. *Renegades Part 1*

### Terror of Cobra-La

On February 28, 2023, Old Snake had travelled to a canyon outside of Saratov. He and Brekhov began to travel through the canyons to reunite with Red Star. He then spoke to Brekhov of their plans, the old days, & the return of the Nazis. He and Brekhov reunited with Red Star and were taken to his home, where they discussed plans of rebuilding the Soviet Union and how to reunite with Old Allies. Old Snake then learned of Red Star's problem with the Saratov Mafia and decided to handle it for him.

After slaughtering the Saratov Mafia in a bar, Old Snake returned to Red Star's home outside of Saratov, where Brekhov and Red Star found Files on an ancient society known as "Cobra-La". Old Snake then decided to contact Cobra for help finding Cobra-La in the Himalayas.

On March 2, Old Snake was accompanied by the Iron Grenadiers to the Himalayas, where they eventually found the Vault to the Tomb of Cobra-La. After entering, Old Snake was approached by Pythona, who asked who disturbed Cobra-La's slumber. *Star Bird*Old Snake was introduced to Pythona and spoke to her about what Cobra-La is, and what became of Humanity. He was then taken to Pythona's throne room and was asked to remove his mask, which Alexei did. Alexei began to speak to Pythona about Humanity's History, before listening about the full history of the Cobra-La Civilization. He then spoke to Pythona about the Soviet Union, though was disgusted by Pythona's innuendos. He then shared his beliefs to Pythona, before asking if Pythona would consider having the Cobra-La Civilization become the Soviet Union's army. When Major Bludd killed a Cobra-Lan Captain, Alexei then fled The Finale Stronghold and began to journey through a blizzard.

He contacted The iron Hammer, before making it to his camp sight and began to dig for something with a pickaxe. He managed to load darts in a gun, before being approached by Pythona. Before Pythona could attack, Old Snake was saved by Nemesis Enforcer, before shooting both with darts, injecting Nanites in them. He then forced Nemesis Enforcer and Pythona into submission, before returning to The Finale Stronghold.

At The Finale Stronghold, he showed his dominative power over the Cobra-La civilization, by exampling the Nanites on a resentful Cobra-La citizen. He was then shown the Rattle-Brawlers by Pythona, before he welcomed Red Star and Brekhov to the Cobra-La Civilization, who bowed down to him. Old Snake then ordered Pythona to show him the Cobra-La laboratory. There, he asked for a concoction that would help transform his face so he may infiltrate the Russian Government, and was given spores by Pythona. He then injected himself with the spores, before he suffered the painful transformation. *Cobra-La*

On June 23, Old Snake was contacted by Serpentor and told that Cobra had taken over the United States. Old Snake congratulated Serpentor, but told him that he will not return, as he is busy rebuilding the Motherland. *G.I. Steve*

### Khariton Romanov

On July 3, Old Snake managed to be elected as the Deputy Prime Minister of Russia, going under the alias "Khariton Romanov". His election was televised throughout the globe and was witnessed by Serpentor. *A Cold Lie*

Weeks Later on July 27, Old Snake was contacted by Serpentor and informed of Cobra's Defeat in the U.S. He then informed Serpentor to take Cobra to an isolated part of Russia, where the Cobra-La Civilization is in hiding for the meantime. *Fangs in the Dark Part 3*

## Notes

* As much as I am adding in Nolstalgia to this continuity, the picture of Cobra Commander used is the best version in my opinion.
* In the G.I. Joe film series, Cobra Commander is portrayed as being the supposedly-deceased brother of The Baroness. Here, he is portrayed as her father.
* In the original cartoon, Cobra Commander hated Serpentor. In this continuity, he supports the idea of Serpentor ruling Cobra.
* Cobra Commander's ideal voice actor, Danila Kozlovsky, previous portrayed Akan, the main antagonist of the film *Hardcore Henry.*
