Paolo Contis played Kobra/Xandro ang ""Hari ng Lipi ng mga Ahas"" () in the 2009 TV series. In the original comics version (1950), Kobra was a female. Like the female Ebony in the 2003 Mango Comics miniseries, Kobra looks like a large, green snake and assumes a form similar to a mythological Naga, humanoid from the waist up with a long tail. This form seems to give him the benefit of his snake form while giving him the ability to hold things with his clawed hands. He can also squish his opponents with his deadly coils. He also has the ability to communicate with all sorts of serpents and can command them to bite humans like Valentina, Ebony and China. He was secretly Valentina's real father. He impregnated Roma ang Babaeng Impakta to bear him more of his serpentine race after seeing her in his cave and for the purpose of having an heir that will be more faithful to him than his other daughter, Valentina. He may be invulnerable to bullets but not from sharp objects.
