Neo-Vipers

NOTE: The following article is about a group of footsoldiers that don't have nothing to do with Power Rangers.

The Neo-Vipers are were nano-enhanced Cobra troopers. They were soldiers who were enhanced with Nanomites by The Doctor. These enhancements removed their self-preservation insticnts and their sense of pain, and made them completely obedient. The ranks of Cobra Vipers originally consisted mostly of mercenaries and criminals, however after the completion of all of Cobra's nano experimentation Neo-Vipers may have mostly consisted of kidnapped soldiers from around the world. 20 mercenaries were selected for the painful series of injections and the ones who didn't die from their pain were turned into the ultimate super soldiers.

Trivia

 * The Neo-Vipers suits, which were used in Power Rangers LG: The Rise of Trakeena, were previously used in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. However, G.I. Joe has nothing to do with Power Rangers.
 * The vipers are used as a group of henchmen Christopher Donner, Jr  uses to attack the Rangers in this universe, like in the G.I. Joe universe- Destro and Cobra Commander uses the vips to attack the Joe team.
 * Although the vipers are not part of Power Rangers, they don't have a Sentai counterpart within them.
 * In G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, there were only 20 Neo-Vipers (minus 1 that was sent to Wash. DC), but in Power Rangers LG: The Rise of Trakeena, there were more than 20 vipers. The army was expanded to over 50 or more viper soldiers used in the battlefield.
 * As noted in "The Rise of Trakeena" production, they were considered as either futuristic prototypes of the Stingwingers, which are  Scorpius  and  Trakeena 's footsoldiers, or they are self-independent soldiers that are viciously tough.
 * There are 4 different types of vipers. The first being the "Neo" class vipers (the main soldiers). The second being the "Desert" class vipers, used for only desert-based combat attacks. The third being the "Crimson" types, which are carbon-copied versions of the Neos but are red-colored. And last, but not least, the "Bio" Vipers, which have green reactive armor.
