Description
Cole appears in six physical variations; as a normal ninja, as a DX Ninja, as a Microfigure, as a ZX ninja, Kendo Ninja, and an NRG ninja.
As a normal ninja, Cole has the classic ninja wrap first used in the Ninja theme from 1998 in Black. Cole's face print (which would normally be covered by the ninja wrap with the exception of his eyes and eyebrows), is made up of two black eyes with white pupils, a large frown, and two large, bushy eyebrows. His torso is a black ninja robe with black hands and no back-printing. The printing that is on the front, reveals black clothing under his robes. Also on the torso, is a little golden emblem, which is most likely a symbol of Earth in Ninjago, that also appears on Cole's spinner. Cole's legs in this variation are black with a Dark Stone Grey belt knot pattern printed on the hips and legs.
As a DX ninja, Cole uses the same face and headgear as his first variation, but utilizes a special torso and legs combination. Cole's DX torso features printing on both the front and back; on the front, a golden depiction of the Earth Dragon. On the back, the name Cole is printed on in gold and the same golden emblem appears below it. On the legs, a different knot tied to his right. Also on the legs, is a continuation of the Earth Dragon design, here the tail is printed.
Cole as a microfigure is a basically Cole as a normal ninja in a smaller scale.
As a ZX Ninja, he has a helmet which is attached to a cloth, which shows only his eyes. He also has shoulder armour and new torso printing.
As a Kendo Ninja, he has a mask with white grilles showing part of his face, Samurai armor and his old ninja suit!

Background
Cole is the leader of the ninja team and is strongest in defense. He claimed to be afraid of no living creature, excluding dragons, but eventually overcame his fear, becoming very close to his dragon, Rocky. Cole's weapons include the Staff of Dragons, the Scythe of Quakes, the Gold-Bladed Saw Staff, the Golden Tri-Scythe, and, of course, his massive strength.
Preluding the storyline, Cole was found by Sensei Wu testing his strength, and was recruited to the Monastery to train along with Jay and Zane to become masters of Spinjitzu.
In The Golden Weapon, the three ambushed Kai whom they mistook as an intruder, only to be revealed as Sensei's fourth student, the Ninja of Fire. Sensei then sent the newly-formed team of ninja on their quest to defeat Lord Garmadon's forces and reclaim the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, which were currently being hunted by Samukai and his forces, the Skulkin Army. Accompanied by Wu, the ninja traveled to the Caves of Despair and rescued the Scythe of Quakes, narrowly escaping the skeleton legions and the Earth Dragon protecting the Scythe.
In King of Shadows, the ninja headed to the Frozen Wastelands to salvage the Shurikens of Ice, and successfully retrieved the Nunchucks of Lightning from the Floating Ruins. Unfortunately, Kai was lead into a trap at the Fire Temple by Garmadon, who made him think his kidnapped sister, Nya, was located within the temple. As Sensei Wu fought his brother, Cole, Jay and Zane were caught by Samukai and tied to a tree. Samukai then stole the remaining Golden Weapons. However, Wu sacrificed himself and traveled to the Underworld, along with the Sword of Fire, to prevent the weapons from uniting. Meanwile, the ninja chased the Skull Truck and tried to retrieve the stolen weapons, only to fail when it traveled to the Underworld.
In Weapons of Destiny, Kai and the others recruited the dragons that protected the weapons and flew to the Underworld, where they defeated the Skulkin by performing the Tornado of Creation. They then found Samukai and Sensei Wu fighting within Garmadon's throne room, where Samukai was vaporized by the power of all four golden weapons. This caused a portal to open into an alternative, netherworldly dimension in witch Garmadon escaped through, planning on growing strong enough to possess the four weapons upon his return. Having defeated Garmadon's plans, the team returned to the surface world o f Ninjago, where they were renounced as heroes throughout the land.
In Rise of the Snakes, Cole followed the other ninjas to Jamonicai village after the report of Lord Garmadon's return. After discovering that it was Lloyd Garmadon, he and the others left him to the villagers. When they discovered the Green Ninja (Ninjago) scroll, he told the others to ignore it. Nevertheless, he fought Zane in the dojo to determine who would be the Green Ninja. After Sensei Wu broke up the fight, the ninjas went to Jamonicai village to see the serpentine return. During the impennding battle, Skales hypnotized Cole. But before he could be fully entranced, Nya kicked Skales and he ran off. Afterwards, Skales revealed that he can now see what Cole sees, and Cole's eyes turn red when Skales does so.
In Home, he and the other ninjas made fun of Zane for his odd behavior, such as going into the bathroom when Cole was still in it. Cole and the others laughed at him when he wore a pink apron, something they find funny. The next day, he followed Zane to Lloyd's treehouse, not convinced a bird showed him there. Once they arrive, they began to cut the treehouse's supports. But before Cole could destroy it, Skales fully hypnotized him and pitched him against the other ninjas as a distraction. Cole nearly killed Jay when he knocked him out of the treehouse, but Zane pulled him back up again. Jay then knocked Cole down and zapped him with the Nunchuks of Lightning to snap him out of his trance. However, this tactic failed, and Cole attempted to destroy the treehouse, and the ninjas. But Sensei Wu and Nya flew in on the Fire Dragon and un-hypnotized him. After they returned home to the ruined monastery, he unleashesd the dragons and yelled at Zane, and when Zane left he cooked an underground creature for dinner. After they found Zane and the new ship, he followed the other ninja and runs toward the boat.
In "Can of Worms", Cole accompanied Zane to the Constrictai tomb to find the golden staff. They found the cave deserted, except for Skalidor, the general. After a short battle, Cole knocked out Zanelidor]] with the Scythe of Quakes. He and Zane then rushed off to warn Kai and Jay of the danger. It is unclear how Skalidor escaped, but obviously he rejoined his tribe and the rest of the Serpentine in Ninjago City.
In The Royal Blacksmiths, Cole reveals that his father is a member of a singing group called the Royal Blacksmiths because he recognized the Spider-Man 1stricta]] ang Blade as part of a talent show trophy called the blade cup, which his father had won several times. He then reveals that his father believes that he is a student at a dance school. The ninjas then visit Cole's father. Cole knocked on his father's door at which he angrily told him to ring the bell. Cole did and his father welcomed them in. After a series of comical events, his father believes that the ninjas are there to replace his quartet. While training for the talent show, Cole's father reveals that when Cole was seven he failed to complete a move called the Triple Tiger Sashay (a move so difficult no one had ever successfully completed it). At the competition Cole discusses their plan to steal the cup. Cole's father overhears this and is shocked that his son was going to steal the prized trophy. Cole then reveals that he is a ninja. His dad goes away extremely angry and disappointed. Cole then decided that they were not going to steal the trophy but win it. They changed the name of their group from "The Royal Blacksmiths" to "Spin Harmony". They performed Spinjitzu to the theme song. However, the Serpentine attempted to crash their show. During the act Cole successfully performed the Triple Tiger Sashay. The ninjas got tens from the first two judges and 0 from Pythor (who had swallowed the real judge) but the real judge stuck his arm out and wrote a 1 next to the 0 making it a 10. All the ninjas celebrate, except for Cole who didn't think his father saw him. His dad reappeared and was very proud of his son, not for dancing, but for fighting "for what is right". Pythor then showed up with the "show stopper" and dropped several heavy objects on Cole's father. Cole then unlocked his true potential and lifted up the objects, saving his dad.
