Astro-Vipers are Cobra characters from the A Real American Hero series.
Cobra banner


Cobra's space warriors, the Astro-Vipers, are recruited from the ranks of the Strato-Vipers.

The artificial conditioning and training they have received to become Night Raven pilots made them natural candidates to operate in the cold altitude of Earth's orbit and to endure the repeated high G launches, extended stay in orbit and short intervals between missions.

Aside from the physical aspect of their training, they are also expected to become well versed in electronics and communication.

  1. Larry Hama told Hasbro that Cobra-Naut "denotes 'one who sails on snakes.' I think most people would assume that a Cobra-Naut was a naval specialist."
