Vanguard

"We're the grunts of the Cobra organization, the guys who pour into the field and fight for all we're worth, overpowering the enemy with might, meanness, and machine guns."

The COBRA TROOPERS infantry forces are the most basic, bottom-of-the-barrel soldiers in the Cobra regime. They have to work their way up to become Vipers. They are thugs, mercenaries, pirates, and assorted lowlifes who are recruited from all over the world. They are given the most basic level of training, which amounts to simply organizing a handful of them into a reasonably cohesive group, giving them the most basic of uniforms, handing them equipment, and telling them to go out and destroy, sabotage, and wreck havoc. The COBRA TROOPER divisions are not specialized, but instead are sent in as basic infantry ground forces. Their key advantages are their pure nastiness and sheer numbers.

Vanguard is a COBRA TROOPER assigned to the Plague.

Canonical/Pre-MUX/Theme History:
Recognizing that perhaps throwing huge waves of of faceless troopers at his enemies was not the way to finally defeat the G.I. Joe Team, Cobra Commander instead tried to duplicate their success by forming his own equivalent team of specialists, drawn from the various Cobra forces. Vanguard is a COBRA TROOPER assigned to this new Plague.

MUX History:
Vanguard was assigned to the Plague shortly before Cobra Commander disappeared.
