Biography

Origin

Zandar was a male human born in the modern age where he was the brother of Zartan and the fraternal twin of Zarana. As a child, he was never noticed by others with even the teachers forgetting his presence and them never calling him by name.

Marvel Comics

Later, Serpentor is revived and the Cobra Civil war as well. As Serpentor's forces attacks Cobra Island, Cobra Commander makes his escape in a boat. But the pilot of the boat instead takes him to Serpentor. Then Serpentor shows Dr. Mindbender his new army The Coil and he also reveals in front of his forces that the brave soldier, who abducted Cobra Commander, is in fact Zandar. The soldiers applause Zandar as he enjoys the fame. Serpentor explains to the Commander that the soldiers who now serve him are people who feel they have been ignored and neglected by him, the Cobra Commander, while Zandar has also felt ignored and neglected by his brother Zartan. Serpentor promised to give them all what they lacked.

Serpentor later asks Zandar if he feels the victory drawing near and Zandar answers quite enthusiastically. Serpentor thanks him for spying on Cobra since the day they reformed and for having brought Cobra Commander prisoner. He explains that he had been watching Zandar since years and noticed how, while Zartan's Dreadnoks grew in power into a worldwide biker gang, Zandar didn't get anything from this, didn't get any more power. Zandar confides that he was tired to be a subordinate, that he would never be seen as more than the brother in the shadow of his older brother. Serpentor promises him fame and power, tells him that everyone will know his name, and Zandar smiles. Serpentor then presents Robert Skelton to Zandar, telling him that Skelton killed many G.I.Joes and Cobras. Skelton now calls himself Overkill and starts to work for Serpentor. Then Dr. Mindbender comes and brings the young Serpentor clones with him. When Serpentor gives important positions to the children, a soldier opposes it weakly and Zandar is then witness to Serpentor's real temper as the Cobra Emperor grabs the soldier by the neck, calling him 'miserable worm', saying that there is not one among them that will ever be worthy of doubting his orders.
