Golobulus

Encyclopedia : G : GO : GOL : Golobulus

Golobulus is the leader of Cobra-La in the fictional G. I. Joe universe. He only appeared in [[G.I. Joe: The Movie]], and was voiced by Burgess Meredith. Golobulus was the original founder of the COBRA Organization, in essence. He chose a citizen of Cobra-La to go out into the world and cause devastation in his name, this citizen would later become Cobra Commander. When Cobra Commander returned, a failure, Golobulus de-evolved him into a snake with a special spore of Cobra-La. Golobulus also created the Cobra emperor, Serpentor, by implanting a mind manipulation device into Dr. Mindbender. Golobulus' plan is to use organic pods of Cobra-La that he sent into space to destroy humanity. When the pods mature, they will ejaculate spores onto the Earth that will de-evolve all of the planet, except Cobra-La, into their most primitive forms. This plan was thwarted by G.I. Joe, and Golobulus is seen escaping right before Cobra-La collapses. It is never made clear if Golobulus survived or if he died in the collapse of Cobra-La.

Although he never appeared in the comics, G.I. Joe comic book writer Larry Hama revealed his final fate on a trading card. Golobulus perished in an avalanche in the arctic. No further mention is made of Cobra-la or even referenced in the original comic series.

Golobulus also appeared as one of the "bosses" in the G.I. Joe video game by Taxan for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
