{{quote|Earth Ninja Extraordinaire. Coming through...|From Ninjago.com's biography}}

'''Cole''' is the black ninja of Earth [[Minifigure]] from the [[Ninjago]] [[theme]]. He is the Ninja team's leader and the strongest of the four. Cole also had a former fear of dragons, however he conquered it and adopted the [[2509 Earth Dragon Defense|Earth Dragon]] Rocky, becoming even more attached to his dragon than the others.

== 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.

[[File:Screen shot 2011-01-15 at 12.23.12 PM.png|thumb]]
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 [[2509 Earth Dragon Defense|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. Cole's weapon of choices include the Staff of Dragons, the Scythe of Quakes, the Gold-Bladed Saw Staff, and the Golden Tri-Scythe.

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. He then sent the newly-formed team of ninja on their quest to defeat [[Lord Garmadon]]'s forces and reclaim the Golden Weapons of Spinjitzu, 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 head to the Frozen Wastelands to salvage the Shurikens of Ice, and successfully retrieve 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 the Samukai and tied to a tree, and stole the remaining Golden Weapons. However, Wu sacraficed himself and traveled to the Underworld, along with the Sword of Fire, to prevent the weapons from uniting. Meanwile, the others were chasing the Skull Truck and trying 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 whom 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 returns to the Surface World of Ninjago, where they are renounced as heroes throughout the land.

Cole also appears in the minisodes '''Flight of the Dragon Ninja''', in which he takes part, and wins, in a race around Ninjago against his fellow ninja. He also appears briefly in '''The New Masters of Spinjitzu''', but more prominently in '''An Underworldly Takeover''', in which he questions Sensei about how Garmadon took control of the Underworld Skulkin army.

In '''Rise of the Snakes''', Cole follows 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 discover the [[Green Ninja (Ninjago)]] scroll, he tells them to ignore it. Nevertheless, he fights [[Zane]] in the dojo to determine the Green Ninja. After [[Sensei Wu]] broke up the fight, the ninjas go to Jamonicai village to see the report of the serpentine return. During the impennding battle, [[Skales]] hypnotizes Cole. But before he can be fully entranced, [[Nya]] kicked Skales and he ran off. Afterwards, Skales reveals 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 make fun of Zane for his odd behavior, such as going into the bathroom when Cole is still in. Cole and the others make fun of him when he wears a pink aprion, something they find funny. The next day, he follows Zane to the treehouse of Lloyd, not convinced a bird showed him. Once they arrive, they began to sever the ties to the treehouse. But before Cole could cut it, Skales fully entranced him and pitched him against the other ninjas as a distraction. After being bettean by [[Jay]], he goes to destroy the treehouse, and the ninjas. But Sensei Wu and Nya fly in on the [[Ninjago Dragons|Fire Dragon]] and un-hypnotize him. After they return home to the ruined monastry, he unleshes the dragons and yells at Zane, and when Zane leaves he cooks a underground creature. After they find Zane and the new ship, he follows the other ninja and runs to the boat.

Cole is stronger than ever…having learned spinjitzu and conquered his fear of dragons, he and his mighty Earth Dragon are as tough as a mountain. Together they knock down the skullkins like an earthquake.

Where Cole goes, the ninja follow, because Cole is their team leader and a good friend. He's strong, dependable, and solid like a big, heavy rock.

As the Ninja team's leader, Cole inspires confidence in his team and is the go-to guy for getting things done. He might not be showy like some other Ninja we could name, but he's strong and dependable. Oh, and he hates Snakes.
