Drizzy Designs looks totally badass cosplaying as her genderbent version of the Cobra Emperor, Serpentor from G.I. Joe! This is so awesome because it’s a cosplay you never see and has super nostalgia value. It’s also great to see a genderbend cosplay that doesn’t really sexualize the charater at all, it’s just a very faithful female version of Serpentor. AsaZM Photography shot these awesome outdoor photos and captured her well.

If you don’t remember, Serpentor is a recurring antagonist from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books, and animated series. He rules as Emperor over Cobra and was designed to be the ultimate Cobra leader. Serpentor is a brilliant tactician and a master of political intrigue, and was eventually capable of wresting control over Cobra from Cobra Commander.

“Know that I am the one you seek. I am the one born to rule, destined to conquer. Let those who fear me follow me. Let those who oppose me DIE! FOR I AM SERPENTOR, AND THIS I COMMAND!” -Serpentor

Cobra Commander: “You’ve got them eating out of you hand. Of course you and I know your primary function will be as a figurehead, a sterling symbol of the power and unanimity of Cobra. You’ll give them someone to look up to while I make all the important decisions.”
Serpentor: “Then start by deciding where you want to be BURIED!” (smacks Commander across the lab.)
Cobra Commander: “Don’t be so aggressive. I’m still open to negotiation.”
Serpentor: “THERE CAN BE NO NEGOTIATION, YOU INSOLENT MICROBE! I AM NOT SYMBOLIC! I AM YOUR EMPEROR AND MASTER!”
