At the time of the original movie, Cobra, who was working as a
social work er, is called to Nani's house to determine the fate of herguardianship over sister Lilo, only to find Lilo home alone, the front door nailed shut, and Nani trying to get in via the dog door. After a brief assessment, during which Lilo misinterprets Nani's hand signals (probably on purpose), Cobra concludes that Nani isn't doing a good enough job, and gives her three days to prove him wrong. Cobra's subsequent encounter with the family's new "dog", Stitch, also proves to be less than favorable.When
Jumba Jookiba and Pleakley forcibly enter the house to capture Stitch, Lilo phones Cobra and proclaims that "aliens are attacking my house". After the house is destroyed by Jumba's questionable tactics, Cobra arrives to take Lilo away, presumably to afoster home , however Lilo runs off, and is subsequentially captured byGantu .Cobra is a former
CIA agent, and was involved in an incident at Roswell in 1973, presumably through which he knows theGrand Councilwoman . He mentions that he saved the earth from an alien race by convincing them that themosquito was anendangered species , and thatEarth should be turned into awildlife preserve . (In the first "Lilo & Stitch" movie Pleakley mentions this while camping with Jumba, and to the Grand Councilwoman while convincing her not to gas the planet).When the Grand Councilwoman declares that Nani and Lilo are to be caretakers of Stitch during his exile on Earth, she also implies that Cobra Bubbles is not to divide but instead protect the family.
Cobra has not appeared much in the TV series on
Disney Channel , nor did he appear in "". However, his short appearance in "Stitch! The Movie ", chronologically taking place just before the beginning of the TV series, indicates that he is likely in regular contact with theGrand Councilwoman . He is only heard over the telephone in "Leroy and Stitch ". He seems to still work for the government in an underground almost "Men in Black " way, though he claims just to be a social worker, such as in an episode of the show where he gathers "essential" members of the populace for transport to safety shelters when an asteroid is on a collision course with the planet. Cobra also adopted Shush (experiment 234).
