Cobra Commander Is a Sharp-Dressed Leader of a Fictional Snake-Themed Terrorist Organization
Usually, dressing for the San Diego Comic con means finding your nerdiest T-shirt, pit stains be damned. But Cobra Commander is a man of class, a man with style. He’s getting dolled up in his finest three-piece suit to be Hasbro’s G.I. Joe exclusive for the con, as per issue #38 of Marvel’s old Joe comic. The figure will come with a podium and microphone (it’ll be a Cobra podium, despite the pic above); Hasbro’s even made a goofy little video for the figure here.

He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
