Eels are the underwater demolitions specialists of the COBRA legions. They man and operate the COBRA marine outposts disguised as off-shore drilling rigs and augment the crews of larger COBRA naval vessels.

Eels undergo a rigorous two-part training program in the warm shark and pirate infested waters of the Cayman Islands in the Caribbean and in the frigid dark depths of the North Atlantic. Their training regimen includes marine structural engineering, explosive ordnance, underwater fighting techniques and marine geology.

My Personal Notes: Eels was always a Cobra I really wanted to play with but never had.  What is different with him, is while I didn't have him as a kid, I found him a few years later being sold in more or less mint condition with a full card along with the Joe Alpine and the Cobra Snow Serpent.  They were cheap and I couldn't pass them up.  I now regard them as the best in my collection, because I think that the guy I bought them from just displayed them a little, and they were really never handled or played with.
