When was Cobra Island created?


Cobra Island was created in Marvel #41, but the prequel was in #40....COBRA had sealed themselves in a sunken oil tanker stuck in a fault line in the Gulf of Mexico. They know that the JOE team is going to roust them, and they want that. Hawk asks the Pentagon (i.e. 'The Jugglers') for advice and then radios to the TTBP that a tactical nuke will be used. Doc is concerned and when Duke asks him if he's got a better idea, Doc suggests using a couple of kilos of TNT instead. However, that is nixed and the nuke is dropped. As the tremors begin to shake the Gulf, Duke realizes that they have aggravated the fault line and the COBRAs in the tanker begin to cheer at the victory they have forced the JOEs to give them.

Where was the Devils Due Cobra War placed?


If you want to pin it down, place it after the AE trade 'In Sheep's Clothing'-which was a result of Destro 'selling out' and relinquishing control of M.A.R.S. to Cobra Commander as a way to get his and the Baroness' son back. Unless your talking about something else.

When was the last time the Joes were on Cobra Island?


Going by the DD timeline, in issue #41 when Barrel Roll drops a nuke on the island (which is weird since General Rey, Lady Jaye, Flint, Mercer, Spirit and Grand Slam are on the island-going after Dr. Mindbender)

Was Cobra Island in the Gulf of Mexico?


Yes. It still is.


Quote:
ANY idea WHERE in the Gulf of Mexico it was?


COBRA Island is situated on a direct crossing line of Mexico, Cuba and the USA. As soon as the 'island' rose from the waters, COBRA planted a flag to claim the land while simultaneously in Washington, Mexico City, Havanna and the UN (NYC) beginning the negotiations to validate Cobra Island as a sovereign country ASAP.


Quote:
Was there ever any talk or action taken for Cobra Island to expand? (ie; did they create more islands?)


The JOE team constantly pursues the reversing of the decision to validate Cobra Island. They are repeatedly denied. As for 'expansion', since COBRA is a recognized country, they have the right to apply for building an embassy in any country the world over. From there, you do the math.




Any other questions???
