"I was once a man. A man!"
- G.I. Joe: The Movie reveals that all of Cobra is an Ancient Conspiracy serving reptilian Precursors straight out of the Cthulhu Mythos, who wants to wipe out human civilization altogether. This puts a somewhat different spin on their generic Take Over the World villainy.
- The Body Horror that's done to Cobra Commander by his non-human superiors when he fails them. Asshole Victim? Big time. Still, the way it's depicted is pure High Octane Nightmare Fuel. He doesn't just slowly lose his humanity, he loses his mind as well.Cobra Commander: I was a man. Yes, oh, yes. I was a man. I was a man, yes. Yes, was once a man...
- The flashback to his original deformity also qualifies.
- Everything about Cobra-La is freaky. Golobulus, Pythona and her break-in to the Terror Drome, Nemesis Enforcer. Then there's Golobulus' plan to mutate all of humanity, especially the Imagine Spot of what would happen if it succeeds.
