The elite shock troops of the Cobra Legions. Every Crimson Guardsman is a college graduate in peak condition, too precious to waste on the battlefield. They are dispersed across the country in deep cover, living normal lives as sleeper agents. "That friendly new neighbor of yours might just have a red uniform hanging in his closet."
Crimson Guard is part of the Crimson Guard, the elite politico-corporate Cobra unit. First released as a Hasbro carded action figure in 1985.
Crimson Guard did not appear by name in the Sunbow or DiC cartoon series synopses. Original Hasbro file-card lore and Marvel ARAH comics appearances are the primary characterization sources.
