“Cobra Rules!! PROVE ME WRONG.”
Carl Lee Church grew up in an affluent, traditional home. His juvenile records are sealed, but it it known that he was kicked out of several youth scouting programs, first as a scout and then as a scout master, all under dubious circumstances. After a bref turn as a youth pastor, from which he was again fired under a cloud of suspicion, he was actively recruited by Extensive Enterprises as a corporate spokesman. His oratorical skill and complete lack of scruples came to the attention of Cobra Commander, who placed Fork-Tongue as the “face” of all Cobra’s front-facing media operations. He is currently leading the “Shedding Skin” initiative, traveling to school campuses around the country with his insidiously divisive staged debates and incendiary speeches, recruiting a new generation of totally-indoctrinated Cobra soldiers.
From Psyche-Out’s files:
“Fork-Tongue is uniquely talented at reframing evil messages as ‘hard truths’ and bamboozling an audience on a public stage. He seems to use no tech or other trickery: he relies on his charisma alone. I used to think that no reasonable person would fall for Cobra’s anti-freedom propaganda, but I was wrong. Fork-Tongue’s ‘Shedding Skin’ movement may well be the most insidious and dangerous of Cobra’s plots: as his popularity grows, more impressionable minds are twisted to Cobra’s cause. There has been chatter over encoded Cobra lines that national politics may be in Fork-Tongue’s future . . .”
