[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dawnsnakeeyes.png]]
[[caption-width-right:150:"As soon as I see your finger tighten on the trigger, you'll be dead before you hit the floor."]]
A former Cobra Youth member who got exposed to the memories of the original Snake-Eyes after a session in the Brainwave scanner, Dawn joined the team to carry on the legacy of her predecessor.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: A Hispanic woman carrying on the legacy of a Caucasian man.
* TheApprentice
* ArchEnemy: Firefly is shaping up to be one, with their encounters in ''Dawn of the Arashikage'' and ''Silent Option''.
-->'''Dawn:''' I came to settle a score.\\
'''Firefly:''' [[ButForMeItWasTuesday You'll have to get in line, girlie. I've been in business a long time.]]
* BadassBoast: See the folder quote.
* CaptainErsatz: Of Jinx as a character, her image is merely a palette swap of Cobra´s Munitia.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: She was performing impressive physical feats even ''before'' she received any Ninja training.
* ChildSoldiers: Briefly was one for Cobra, but she got better.
* CombatParkour: Has a more acrobatic fighting style than her predecessor.
* DefeatMeansFriendship: When she was still in Cobra, Dawn rushed to the Commander's aid during some [[MexicanStandoff rather tense business negotiations]] with Destro, Baroness, and [[WeirdTradeUnion disgruntled Cobra freelancers]]. Baroness was impressed by Dawn's resolve, and offered to train her to be better.
* {{Expy}}: She's the ComicBook/{{X 23}} to Snake-Eyes' ComicBook/{{Wolverine}}, with elements of [[Characters/StarWarsRey Rey]] thrown in for good measure.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: A teenage girl with a humble background becomes a Ninja Apprentice.
* ICallItVera: Her sword is called "Morning Light".

[[folder: Agent Helix]]
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/helix.png]]

An infiltration expert with a unique mental condition, "total battlefield awareness", that allows her to perfectly track everything going on in a fight at once, giving her near-perfect fighting skills.

* BackToBackBadasses: When she's paired with Snake-Eyes, one can practically hear "[[Franchise/StarWars Duel of the Fates]]" as they slice through mooks left and right.
* CanonImmigrant: Originally created for the ''Film/GIJoeTheRiseOfCobra'' toyline and video game. After being included in the 2008 IDW continuity to promote ''The Rise of Cobra'''s toyline and game, she was then incorporated into the original comic book continuity when the IDW continuation of the Marvel Comics continuity introduced her via the ''Silent Option'' miniseries.
* CombatClairvoyance: Has something similar thanks to her "total battlefield awareness", letting her track everything that's going on simultaneously.
* GunFu: Her "Whirlwind attack" involves her delivering a flurry of kicks while unleashing a volley of bullets.
* GunsAkimbo: Uses twin pistols for ranged combat.
* HatesBeingTouched: As a result of a traumatic childhood.
* MeaningfulName: She earned that code name since her ultimate skill is to throw a flying butterfly kick while shooting her twin machine pistols.
* McNinja: A more hi-tech example than most, with some slight influences from CyberPunk and ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid''.
* NoNameGiven[=/=]PartsUnknown: Her real name and birthplace are listed as "Classified".
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: ''Silent Option'' depicts her undertaking one against a particularly vile [[HumanTrafficking slaver]] who makes Cobra Commander look like a saint.
* SwordAndGun: Twin machine pistols for ranged combat and a blade, usually a machete or tanto, for close-quarter fighting and stealth kills. She also is skilled with a Revanche Energy Blade, the Joeverse equivalent of a lightsaber.
* VigilanteWoman: Her original career before joining the Joes. She hunted down and dismantled criminal operations.

[[folder: Scoop]]
!!!'''Real Name:''' Leonard Michaels
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/scoop.JPG]]
[[caption-width-right:100: "I always strive to do my job... [[CatchPhrase and then some]]."]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Michael Benyaer (''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', "Operation: Dragonfire" arc of [=DiC=] series)

G.I. Joe's private reporter.

* TheHero: He's the centerpiece of ''Operation Dragonfire''.
* HeelFaceTurn: In ''Operation Dragonfire'', Scoop starts out as an undercover Crimson Guardsman spying on G.I. Joe, who he blames for destroying his home. Of course, he eventually learns Cobra is the true culprit.
* NewMeat: One issue of Special Missions had him tagging along on a covert op to record everything that goes down to satisfy a new DOD directive. His squadmates resent having to educate him every step of the way on the things that aren't covered in basic training.
* {{Tuckerization}}: He is modeled and named after the NBC reporter [[NoCelebritiesWereHarmed Mike Leonard]].
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: As pointed out by multiple commenters, Scoop's specialisation as a reporter is rather dubious for a military unit.
** HeartIsAnAwesomePower: However, his media savviness does sometimes help in convincing government higher-ups that the Joes' mission achieved an overall positive result, even if it did not exactly fulfill the goal that was laid out beforehand.

[[folder: Shockwave]]
!!!'''Real Name:''' Jason A. Faria
[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gishockwave.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:100: "I never know what's on the other side of a door when I kick it down. Do you think I'd do that if I knew what's behind of it? Get real!"]]
->'''Voiced By:''' Gary Chalk (''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'', [=DiC=] series)

Special Weapons And Tactics officer from the Detroit police department working for the Joes. A late addition to the team in the last [=DiC=]'s cartoon episodes but he was a prominent character in ''Special Missions'' comics by Marvel.
----
* AdaptationalNameChange: Since 2008, Hasbro changed his code name to "Shockblast" in order to avoid confussion with [[Franchise/{{Transformers}} the Decepticon]]. Plus they had already registered that trademark when they couldn't use the name "Shockwave" previously.
* AxCrazy: Turns out he gets quite a bit enthusiastic to kick doors down. Hawk stated that this is precisely what makes him the ideal candidate for pointman on urban assault missions.
* ChildProdigy: He enrolled for training in the Detroit's police academy at 16, approving all the subjects with flying colors.
* {{Determinator}}: Being the pointman means that you'll be the first element within a squad to literally call all the shots and get involved into an ensured firefight.
* HiddenDepths[=/=]ReligiousBruiser: His second specialty is choir, he's still singing hymns for some services when it's required.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: During the period where Hasbro couldn't get a trademark on the name "Shockwave", a nearly identical character named Wide Scope was introduced to the relaunched toyline, similar to the way Heavy Duty was repurposed as an ersatz Roadblock. The only tangible difference between them without looking at Wide Scope's filecard bio is that he has a NonHumanSidekick, his beloved K-9 Lamont.
* TenorBoy: His singing voice.
