* KnightOfCerebus: Any episode he had some sort of presence in, the tone would become less humorous. A little less so in Alien Force, but again in Ultimate Alien.



* {{Badass}}

* {{Badass}}{{Badass}}: well, he has moments of this in all three shows, but most fans agree he was at his best in the original show.

to:

* WeCanRebuildHim: in his first appearance, he is almost killed by a beam from the ship he was following. It takes the whole season, but he is eventually repared and enhanced genetically and cybernetically, resulting in the look he has for most of the first series.
