I’d argue that exceeding the normal limits of the human mind and body is actually a core element of Cobra’s philosophy, considering how often it’s come up over the last three decades. Cobra’s R&D has consistently demonstrated the ability to create enhanced humans of one kind of another, whether cyborgs with enhanced strength and reflexes (Star Vipers, Overkill), fearless, single-minded combat drones (Zombie Vipers) or human-animal chimaeras ranging from the monstrous, well, “Mega Monsters” as pictured above to the “Electric Eels,” who are basically what would happen if you put Shocker through Navy SEAL training. They’ve also apparently mastered the process of cloning and have access to an effective method of mind-imprint transference, which would theoretically allow any given Cobra operative to effectively be immortal given sufficient reason to keep cloning him or her in the event of death.

I forgot about those creatures...lol. More good stuff. I also forgot to take into the account that many Cobra troops probably have some sort of genetic tampering, which was something that was hinted at with the Viper units in the first GI Joe movie that everyone despised (which I did not if anyone is wondering... it was far more a love letter to the GI Joe franchise than people give it credit for.)

I remember one of the file cards for the SAW Vipers saying something along the lines of that they were able to pick off an insect in heavy brush from over 200 yards away during nightfall. That is an army of Bullseyes in itself. If that is not meta-human, then I don't know what is. As a kid it made me wonder how the Joes were even a match.
