Monarch
was genetically enhanced over 50 years ago in the cobra labs located
in the deserts of arizona. The purpose was to create a line of super
troopers, using the legendary Dr. Mindbender's genetic altering methods.
It was a failure, as only two soldiers were able to be enhanced before
the project was shut down. Monarch is one of those soldiers.
He has
been genetically engineered to remain in peak physical condition and
fighting ability, making him one of cobra'a most deadly troops. However,
some side effects from the project still llinger, such as a slower aging
process, and has been known to black out and remain that way for weeks
at a time. he name alone strikes fear into those who oppose Cobra.
