** Just because T-Bone ''called'' him "a laughin' hyena" doesn't make it true. It's doubtful the writers would introduce a non-cat that wasn't an alien so late in the series, ''and'' have him be a nothing villain like Chopshop.
** Perhaps the writers thought hyenas are part of the cat family since they are closely related to cats.

* {{Misblamed}}: Ted Turner was ''not'' responsible for killing the show; the decision was made well below his level. Sadly, the blame ''still'' falls on Ted Turner, due to the misquoted segment of his interview.

* {{Misblamed}}: Ted Turner was ''not'' responsible for killing the show; the decision was made well below his level. Sadly, the blame ''still'' falls on Ted Turner, due to the misquoted segment of his interview. To clarify, Ted Turner, around the same time the show was cancelled, said that he was proud of having "cartoons that don't encourage kids to shoot each other." Many took this as proof that he hated ''Swat Kats'' and wanted it cancelled. However, this was not the case; he was actually talking about ''WesternAnimation/BeavisAndButthead''.

** [[DiabolicalMastermind Dark Kat]] is one of the Swat Kats' most recurring, and wicked, villains. A [[BombThrowingAnarchists complete madman]] obsessed with the death of the Swat Kats and the [[ToCreateAPlaygroundForEvil destruction of Megakat City]], Dark Kat is [[EstablishingCharacterMoment introduced]] trying to use a [[NukeEm nuclear weapon]] to annihilate Megakat City and its thousands of residents, attempting to force Lieutenant Feral to watch the carnage as it unfolds. Later attempting to turn the Swat Kats into ground meat while using their jet to frame them for opening fire on civilians and blowing up entire buildings, Dark Kat follows this up by convincing Razer he severely wounded innocents to throw him off his game while Dark Kat uses a robotic arachnid to attack and hopefully tear Megakat City to shreds. In his arguably worst outing, Dark Kat makes an alliance with the below-mentioned Dr. Viper, using him to rebuild the Metallikats then install chips in them that [[BadBoss allow Dark Kat to torture them at his leisure]]. Using the Metallikats and Viper, Dark Kat lures the Swat Kats, Feral, and assistant mayor Callie Briggs into a trap to kill them all, ordering the Metallikats to kill Viper when [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness he outlives his usefulness]], and ultimately attempts to blow up the entire base as a last ditch effort to kill the Swat Kats, their friends, and all of Dark Kat's own allies in one fell swoop.

** [[EvilutionaryBiologist Dr. Viper]] was once [[MadScientist Elrod Purvis]], a greedy scientist whose plan to sell the Viper Mutagen to the highest bidder ended with his supposed death and subsequent mutation into the evil Viper. In his schemes to destroy Megakat City and replace it with a festering "Megaswamp City", Viper regularly attempts to mutate and murder all he can through his chemical weapons and monsters; [[TransformationTrauma painfully transforms]] one-shot villain Morbulus into a mindless bacteria creature that he looses on Megakat City, leading to dozens of deaths--including that of Viper's former colleague Zyme--and, upon being thwarted, attempts to drown the entire city in toxic spores; teams up with the aforementioned Dark Kat; and finally floods the city with mutative chemicals in a bid to mutate everyone within the city. Regularly murdering innocents in his attempted conquest and seeing beauty only in the fetid and festering, Dr. Viper was about as remorselessly evil as his sinister appearance would suggest.

Some episodes make it clear the Brothers Tremblay had in mind something more complicated (and probably something that didn't involve anthropomorphic characters) when coming up with the show, and that the need to write for kids kept holding back what they could do. Ultimately, they pushed the line too far, such as [[spoiler:Feral in no uncertain terms ''killing'' the Metallikats directly (if temporarily) and giving a rather irrefutable [[KirkSummation explanation]] as to why he did so]].
