Dr. Brian Bender
DR. BRIAN “MINDBENDER” BENDER is head of Cobra’s secretive bio-tech division. A gifted, brash genius in genetic engineering, cloning, mutation and cellular regeneration, DR. MINDBENDER is full of youthful enthusiasm for his work — even though it typically involves the dangerous, the unethical, and the illegal. Cobra’s secret Bio Viper program provides the perfect playground for this deranged scientist; what DR. MINDBENDER lacks in conscience, he makes up for with attitude.

Looks more like Dr. Venom than Dr. Mindbender. Actually, it looks more like a kid playing dress-up, but not Mindbender.
Yeah, what’s with his oversized boots? Did the Fire Department visit his Kindergarten class today or something? These character designs are THE WORST
