** Right from the premiere we're treated to some FamilyUnfriendlyDeath. Not only does [[spoiler: Ripcord fall in battle]], but when [[DirtyCop Major Hidalgo]], who betrays the Joes and steals their evidence thanks to being in the back pocket of the Baroness attempts to extort more money from her, she has him ''vaporized'' [[DeaderThanDead until he's nothing but a pile of ash]].



* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: Sorta. In past incarnations, Bludd has been, mainly, a mercenary with a British accent and a bloodthirsty streak. In this version, he still is, but he sucks up punishment from the entire team and [[{{Determinator}} keeps going]].

** Serpentor, one of the most infamous examples of a ReplacementScrappy gets reimagined as an utterly ''horrifying'' giant cobra who serves as the Commander's personal attack animal. It really is a miracle how a gaudy, FashionVictimVillain with anger issues was transformed into the [[TheDreaded most creepy pet ever]].

Added DiffLines:

*** From the same episode, the loose Bio-Viper swallows a child to use as a HumanShield so the Joes can't directly shoot it, implying that ItCanThink. Made worse by the fact that the boy is slowly being digested the longer he's stuck in its belly.


Added DiffLines:

** Dr. Mindbender's sadism often makes him just as violently dangerous as his own creations. The fact that he can assault random civilians such as a swami con artist and even [[WouldHurtAChild a child in the hospital]] shows how he can casually harm or even kill somebody with no hesitation. But this is actually the least of his crimes compared to his [[PlayingWithSyringes human experimentations]].

** Cobra Commander's BadBoss tendencies often cross into pure terror. When he learns a Bio-Viper escaped under Dr. Mindbender's watch, he casually lifts him over a nuclear waste reactor, ready to drop him to his death as a way to pressure the doctor into fixing is error. Even the most valuable member or COBRA and the sole hope who can save his life is unsafe from the Commander's wrath.

* LoveToHate: As is tradition, COBRA may be monstrous but it's got some amazing villains.
** The Cobra Commander himself who is a [[MagnificentBastard brilliant mastermind]] with a creepy presence which frightens even his closest cohorts and an unrelenting desire to conquer the world no matter what setbacks he faces.
** Dr. Mindbender for simply being [[LaughablyEvil darkly hilarious]] as well as surprisingly cunning.
** The Baroness, who is, well TheBaroness.
** Major Bludd, the best bounty hunter in the world who also has no qualms about harming innocent civilians.



** Every moment Serpentor is onscreen. This incarnation of the snake is a genetically-engineered ''massive'' cobra who [[EatenAlive devours the enemies]] of the Commander who disappoint him. Which he does ''several times''. The fact that it can also obey commands and spit out victims if his master orders implies [[ItCanThink it's smarter than it looks]].

Added DiffLines:

** Storm Shadow's skills as a ninja warrior are so deadly that he almost feels like a ghost with how swift he is. His first confrontation with the Joes has him nearly succeeding in slaying the entire team without breaking a sweat.


Added DiffLines:

** "Homecoming" reveals that COBRA has been keeping tabs on all the families of the Joes. The Commander has never bothered enacting any kind of evil upon them until this episode because they proved they were indeed a genuine threat to him when they stole data from him. He could've had their relatives exterminated at ''any time''.
