* The [[PlayerCharacter Playa]] in the first ''Saints Row'' was pragmatic, but ultimately a pushover that was JustFollowingOrders, killing because they had to kill in a Stilwater just ''that'' shitty. Then the bombing that tried to assassinate them failed to do so, put them in a coma for five years, and they wake up to everything they'd done being AllForNothing. The Playa shortly ascends to The Boss afterwards, reforming the Third Street Saints -- except this time, it's not about saving Stilwater from the other gangs, it's about [[VillainProtagonist taking it over for themselves from the start.]] Welcome to ''[[DarkerAndEdgier Saints Row 2]]''.
** Even worse, when confronting Julius about his betrayal in the secret mission, he outright calls the Boss TheSociopath and ''knew'' this sort of thing was going to happen if they were left unchecked. While betraying his own crew was a bastardly move, [[TheExtremistWasRight he was absolutely vindicated in his concerns.]] He gets mercilessly [[BoomHeadshot killed for this]] out of petty vengeance, signifying the Boss's change from an AntiVillain into a VillainProtagonist that ''owns'' Stilwater solely because they could, [[HeWhoFightsMonsters being no better than the crime lords they got brought on to stop]].

* A glitch [[FanNickname fans dub "The Freezer"]]. If you glitch out of Old Stilwater using [[RocketJump some]] [[StuffBlowingUp grenades]], the Low Gravity, Infinite Ammo, Never Die and Super Explosions cheats, a bluish shadow will [[ParanoiaFuel (eventually) randomly show up with little to no warning]], [[MeaningfulName and cause your game to freeze]]. [[JerkAss The creepy bastard]] [[GameBreakingBug can even brick your copy of Saints Row 2 if you're really unlucky, rendering it useless]].

* The final Brotherhood mission. Maero has lost practically everything he cares about, and tells the Boss to come to the Ultor Dome. Upon entering, they only hear his voice, but it's easy to tell he is ''pissed.'' The Boss is alone, with Maero in his Altas Breaker monster truck, accompanied by several more Brotherhood thugs in trucks ready to crush them. All the games of the Brotherhood arc are over, and it's clear Maero wants his enemy '''''dead.'''''
* If the Boss carjacks an occupied vehicle while a gun is equipped, they will just straight up [[BoomHeadshot blast the driver in the face]] before tossing the fresh corpse out. Compare to other games in the series or other similar franchises, which usually boot or throw the driver out. ''That'' is how bloodthirsty and vengeful the Boss is in this game.

** Fun fact, this same animation can seen in the first game, back when they were little more than a taciturn henchman. Unlike the first game, where the Playa will actually fire a shot, the driver will [[GoodBadBugs simply die after a gun is pointed at them]].

* The first mission of the "Ultor Exposed" DLC has the Boss drive to several unmarked gravesites for the corpses of volunteers for a chemical treatment Ultor was developing to solve respiratory problems in miners, according to their lead scientist. Upon discovering them, [[NauseaFuel and seeing the results of Ultor's experiments]], [[EvenEvilHasStandards even they are clearly horrified]]. If you look closely, you can see that the corpses have the same appearance as the zombies from Zombie Uprising, which makes this even creepier.
