	Creeper technology was developed for Cobra by Doctor Venom, though the good doctor would later insist that the terrorist had ''forced'' him to create the weapons for them. When the Joes raided Cobra's temple base of [[Koh-Buru-Lah]], they were faced with a forest of creeper vines, but were able to use the heat from their jetpack engines and their helicopter backpack blades to burn and slice a path through the vicious vegetables. They were too late to stop [[Cobra Commander]] and the [[Baroness]] from taking off aboard a [[Rattler]] with a creeper bomb payload aboard, but [[Scarlett]] was able to bring the plane down with a stolen creeper grenade she attached to one of her crossbow arrows. The Rattler crashed, detonating its entire creeper payload, generating a huge jungle of vines that dragged down all the Joe vehicles and even the alien robots that had wandered into the conflict. {{storylink\|The Golden Boys}}		Creeper technology was developed for Cobra by Doctor Venom, though the good doctor would later insist that the terrorist had ''forced'' him to create the weapons for them.
