DAN. The late brother of Cobra Commander. Years before his brother became Cobra Commander, Dan was a soldier in the Vietnam war. He kept signing on for new tours in Southeast Asia to be sure his brother wasn't drafted. When Dan finally returned home, he had changed. Years of war had warped his mind and given him a death wish. Dan began driving fast, weaving in and out of traffic on the highway, as if daring death to take him. Death caught up with him, when in a drunken stupor, he caused a head-on collision with another car. Dan and the other car's occupants were killed instantly. In that other car was Snake-Eyes' parents and twin sister Terri, on their way to meet Snake-Eyes at the airport. He was returning home from Vietnam. Dan's death devastated Cobra Commander. He became obsessed with making someone pay for Dan's death. He turned it all around in his head, blaming the family's surviving son for the accident. His search for vengeance destroyed his family and his own sanity, eventually leading him to form Cobra.
