This Could Go On And On

With Immortal Weapons #1, the device used to relate Fat Cobra's history to us is the arrival of a man Cobra hired to research his history. The idea was that Cobra's done so much, and drank so much he either can't remember everything, or at least forgot many of the details.

I wonder if this is the first time Fat Cobra's had someone research his past. At the end of the tale, he's horribly depressed by what he's learned about himself, and orders lots of the strongest wine available, so he apparently plans to drink himself into a stupor, possibly to forget what he's learned. And since he burns the researcher's report, there won't be anyway for him to remember, until the next time he hires a researcher to look into his past.

It would be cyclical, Cobra learning of his past failures and misdeeds, getting drunk to escape what he's learned, and repeating his mistakes. Of course, he won't remember why he got drunk this time (or what he did), so it all begins again. It would, on a micro scale, mirror the Immortal Weapons themselves, as one dies, but another will be along eventually, to live much the same sort of life of battle.
