Shimik alias CAT EYES. There's nothing that drives Cobra Commander so nervous like hearing the name of Shimik, alias CAT EYES. His sight is not only powerful, but also super-intelligent. No matter how much Cobras try to hide, Shimik discovers them with his machine gun, and provides the Heroic Commands with their position. Although Shimik has night vision goggles, he always has fun by facing Cobras face to face only with his Cat Eyes. He hides protected by the colour of his skin among the shadows.
