Once a mild-mannered orthodontist, the experiments that turned him into Dr. Mindbender also unhinged him. A bio-electronics genius, he engineered the B.A.T. android troopers and, using DNA harvested from history's greatest conquerors, created the Cobra emperor Serpentor.
Dr. Mindbender is a Cobra operative in the original G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero line. First released as a Hasbro carded action figure in 1986, with 2 distinct figure versions produced across the 1982 to 1994 ARAH run.
Dr. Mindbender appears in 1 episode synopsis across the Sunbow (1983 to 1987) and DiC (1989 to 1992) runs, first appearing in Sunbow's "Arise, Serpentor, Arise!, Part 3" (1986). Full screencap and continuity review pending.
