“	I am Cobra, Guardian of the Temple of the Snakes. I ask you to leave now, or I shall be forced to strike.	”
—Cobra

Cobra is the Guardian of the Temple of the Snake.

Physical Appearance

Cobra has black-blue hair. She wears a green tee-shirt, a brown trench coat that goes down to her feet and beige trousers. Cobra is quite weak in terms of a Guardian as she had her Power Band stolen from her numerous times by The Zodiac Master, most likely because she is an easy target for him, and because of their past and his anger towards her getting the Snake Power Band instead of him.

Powered Up

To transform she must say "Empower the Snake!". When she is empowered she has flexibility far more superior to humans and even other Guardians. Cobra grows snake skin, her hair turns green along with her eyes, as well as her lips, and she greatly resembles a giant snake.

Personality

Like all Temple Guardians, she is protective of her Temple, Shrine and Powerband and constantly attempts to defend these things from any attackers.

History

It is thought that she knows The Zodiac Master best as they both were born in the Year of the Snake. Much like Ang and Ling, Cobra and The Zodiac Master were competing to get the Snake Power Band. However, Master Chin gave the power band to Cobra instead of him. Angered, Yin Wu turns to evil and then goes by the name "Zodiac Master".

Power Band

We see that Cobra's power band is red (as the snake element is fire) with a yellow gemstone of a snake on it.

Temple

Cobra's Temple has a large pit full of snakes and there is a large statue of a snake, also, within the snake statues mouth, lies the snake power band. The Earth around the statue has been dug into and has been replaced with a green substance as shown in the video game.

Abilities

Elasticity

We can see that when she fights off the henchmen she stretches, expands and deforms her body into any form that she desires.

Semi-Shapeshifting

She can turn into any form that she desires, not by appearance but by body shape.

Venom Emission

She was about to inject a henchmen with venom by biting him, but was interrupted by the Zodiac Master.

Venom Resistance

She was bitten by The Zodiac Master's lethal King Cobra, who if bit the regular person, would immediately die, however due to Cobra's snake powers, she was able to withstand it for a long time and was soon revived.

Enhanced Strength

She has superior strength to humans and can fight other Temple Guardians, but she is quite weak in Guardian terms as her band was constantly taken by The Zodiac Master (along with Billy's), compared to another Guardian, like Ming, who's band was only taken once by the Zodiac Master, showing Cobra isn't very strong, or at least not as strong as she could be.

Teleportation

Like other Temple Guardians, it is likely that she can teleport, however this has not been shown on screen.

Powerblast Projection

Like every other Temple Guardian, it is likely that she can project power blasts, however this has not been shown on screen.

Enhanced Agility

She is able to easily do numerous gymnastic, athletic and martial implements with little effort.

Constriction

She can easily constrict a henchmen who was attacking her by wrapping herself around him several times, much like the boa constrictor snake.

Snake Manipulation

She is able to get the Snakes in her Temple to form a tower and reveal her without giving any verbal command or gesture. It is likely that she can also control snakes outside of her Temple as well.

Snake Mimicry

All Temple Guardians at some point in their life where they have to go through the 12-hour cycle in which they turn into their specified animal for their band to rejuvenate. When Cobra's time comes, she will turn into a snake.

Snake Physiology

Most of these powers come under Snake Physiology, Cobra can probably do more than this as her power was only shown in one episode.

Appearances

Cobra's appearances in Legend of the Dragon.

Trial By Fire Part 1

Cobra's first appearance takes place in a forest, where warriors are invading a Temple and go right into the center to find a statue of a Snake. In the middle of the body, they find pit full of snakes, which start to form a tower and reveals a woman. She is Cobra, Guardian of the Temple of the Snakes, and they have violated her Temple. She pulls the Power Band of the Snakes out of the snake statue’s mouth and empowers her Band, attacking the warriors and defeating most of them. However, before she can defeat the last one, a person appears from behind the statue who is wearing a the Zodiac sign and green clothes who reveals himself as the Zodiac Master. He immediately places a small disc, which is a bomb, in the Snake Statues Mouth, causing it to explode and blow all the debris towards Cobra. It pins her down, allowing enough time for the Zodiac Master to steal her Power band from her.

It is not shown on screen, however it is most likely that she received the power band from Ang after it was taken by the Zodiac Master.

Venom

The Zodiac Master attacks the Snake Temple, wanting the Snake Power Band. Before Cobra can power up, she is bit by The Zodiac Master's lethal King Cobra. He then steals the Snake Band. Because of Cobra's snake powers, the poison from the King Cobra doesn't immediately kill her. Ang, Beingal and Xuan Chi come to Cobra's rescue and call a doctor who is actually The Zodiac Master's pet snake in disguise. Cobra is eventually healed and she gets her Power Band back.
