Rexford "Rex" Lewis, also known as Cobra Commander and formerly as the Doctor, is the main antagonist of the G.I. Joe film series, serving as one of the main antagonist of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra and it's sequel of G.I. Joe: Retaliation.
He was a former military scientist who became influenced by the nanomite research from M.A.R.S Industries, and thus, his thirst for knowledge gave him little regard for human life. He eventually took over M.A.R.S. and became the founder and supreme leader of the terrorist organization COBRA. He was a close friend of Conrad Hauser/Duke and brother to Ana Lewis, who later became the Baroness.
He was portrayed and voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt in The Rise Of Cobra and by Luke Bracey in Retaliation while his voice was provided by Robert Baker.
What Makes Him Pure Evil?[]
- Experimenting on and brainwashing countless people, including his own sister, in order to make her the Baroness and more soldiers from James McCullen.
- Attempted to kill his own sister out of spite, believing neither Duke or McCullen deserves her.
- Usurping control of M.A.R.S Industries from James McCullen and forcefully turning him into Destro and torturing him into servitude.
- Plotting with Zartan to allow him to switch places with the president of the United States and subsequently turn the Joes into fugitives.
- Additionally sending Firefly after the Joes to kill the vast majority of them in one battle.
- Blowing up and destroying London in an attempt to intimidate and force loyalty from several of the world's leaders.
- After the destruction of London, he threatens to destroy other cities until the world accepts his rule.
- Although it was unfortunate that he lost parents when he was young, and his face was horribly disfigured after the explosion, he still far passes the excuse as he used his own sister for experiments and doing the same to Duke.
- Despite loving his sister and the horrific things he done to her, he never once shows a hint of remorse and was perfectly willing to kill her simply to deny Duke and his former boss any satisfaction.
