- Royal Guard is a Cobra-La character from the A Real American Hero series.
The members of the Cobra-La's Royal Guard are genetically augmented super-soldiers with one purpose and that is protect and serve Golobulus. And they will do so to the death if they have to but that's not a problem. They are specifically bred for their very purpose and even one Royal Guard presents a formidable opponent. They wear a near impervious armor derived from their civilization's giant insect guardians. Each Guard is superbly strong and can hold its own against even a seasoned martial artist. However, as they are completely subservient they rely on brute strength and the instructions of their beloved leader to direct them in battle.
