* SuperPoweredEvilSide: Agent Venom finds himself forced to cut the Venom symbiote loose on several occasions, such as when facing down the entirety of the Maggia or up against a horde of Frost Giants--its response typically being to go on a feeding frenzy. Concerned about the number of times this has happened, Flash decides to leave the team after testing them to see if they could defeat the symbiote if he truly lost control of it, letting it go on a rampage through the base.

''Thunderbolts'' is an December 2012 ongoing comic from Creator/MarvelComics, released as part of the ''ComicBook/MarvelNOW'' relaunch, and initially written by Daniel Way with Creator/SteveDillon on art, and Charles Soule took over as writer with issue 12.
The series stars a new team of ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} brought together by former long time [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]] nemesis and recent Avenger, General [[ComicBook/RedHulk Thaddeus "Thunderbolt" Ross aka the Red Hulk]], with the initial line up consisting of [[ComicBook/{{Venom}} Agent Venom (Flash Thompson)]], ComicBook/ThePunisher, ComicBook/{{Elektra}} and ComicBook/{{Deadpool}}.
In the aftermath of ''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'', General Ross decides the best way to deal with threats is to put them down for good, forming a strike-team team of former soldiers and trained killers to do just that.

!!''Thunderbolts'' (2012) provides examples of:
* AntiHeroTeam: Aside from Agent Venom, everyone is a well-intentioned ruthless killer.
* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to Parker's previous run, this relaunch is messier.

Come the end of the issue, [[spoiler: it does happen]], resulting in Deadpool telling Ross "I told 'ya!".
* CareBearStare: In the 2013 annual issue, Dr. Strange manages to immobilize most of the team with this. The only exception to this is The Punisher, who manages to resist it out of sheer joylessness.
* ColorMotif: Black and red. Lampshaded in issue 21. Some of the enemies they face are red and/or black as well, [[BlackAndGrayMorality for symbolic reasons]].

** Elektra also does this when it was the Punisher's turn to set the mission. Venom, Punisher and Elektra needed to find the location of a mob hideout, so the three of them drove around all the skavvier neighborhoods with Elektra posing as a prostitute and luring thugs into the van...where Venom and Punisher were waiting to "interrogate" them.

* MySkullRunnethOver: Having long since reached the physical limit on his constantly growing intellect, the Leader parceled it out in [[BrainUploading uploads]] to servers accessible over the internet with the correct code.
