Kobra reptile soldiers
Context
These guys only appeared in an obscure storyline from DC Comics’ Showcase, in 1993. But :
- They’re Kobra, and Kobra can be a handy villain in super-hero tabletop RPG campaigns.
- They’re enhanced goons. Abnormally tough goons can be quite useful in games with a lot of combat.
Powers and Abilities
Those non-human troops are highly disciplined and persistent. However, the rank and file in flying light armour is not that much better than normal goons.
On the other hand, the elite specimen piloting air-superiority interceptors have superhuman toughness. And if they get downed they will continue to single-mindedly fighting of the ground if there are any enemy forces there.
History
Those troops, apparently vat-grown, have been presumably bought by Kobra’s organization in small qualities. Either that, or Kobra is only able to produce a trickle.
A number of those have been eliminated by the Peacemaker and Deathstroke the Terminator in Poland.
Personality
Single-minded fighters who do not say anything, except for some tactical information over their radio. They have a rough understanding of military tactics.
