* The abuse Brandon Caine goes through in the show is positively heinous. He starts of as TheRival of Action Man and agrees to be experimented on by Dr. X to even the odds but ends up [[BodyHorror horribly mutated]] into a rampaging monster at Dr. X's leisure. It's then revealed the experiments were part of a test so Dr. X could steal Brandon's body by downloading his brain into Brandon's, effectively killing him and actually succeeds! Worse is Brandon managed to survive by some miracle and accidentally had his brain downloaded into some of Dr. X's machines, turning him into a mechanical mass of monstrous nanobots while clearly screaming in mental anguish. He eventually gets him mind placed in a newly cloned body but it's clear from his behavior afterward the trauma from all that horror is permanent.

* Dr. X is pretty unsettling all around and only gets worse as time goes on. He starts off as a creepy mutilated scientist, later stated to be the result of [[ProfessorGuineaPig experimenting on himself]], with a glowing red eye and nasty skin with a CreepyMonotone voice. Then you find out he has an army of killer machines, small and large, at his beck and call all over the world and plans on using them to cause a planetary apocalypse that would kill off much of humanity [[EvilutionaryBiologist in an attempt to evolve the human species.]] All so he can rule HIS new humanity. The ways he goes about doing so include trying to start a nuclear war, trying to starting a new ice age, releasing a deadly mutagenic gas over the planet, and eventually destroying most of humanity with an asteroid!

** His fate at the end of the series is pretty awful too. Having obtained an immortal body and the AMP Factor, Dr. X gets sent hurtling into space on an asteroid and he'll be on it fully aware for a [[AndIMustScream LONG time.]] Even worse is Action Man implied that Dr. X might even manage to return one day and he's got all the time he needs to plan thanks to being immortal and not needing oxygen to breathe.

Befitting a WorldOfBadass, the world and life of Action Man is as unsettling as it is awesome. Especially with the menagerie of insane freaks hunting after TheHero led by a maniac who wants to destroy most of the world so he can rule the rest!

* Templeton Storm aka Tempest is pretty creepy as the page image will attest. He started off as an emotionally unstable TeenGenius and millionaire who had his BerserkButton pressed too many times when he was mocked over his young age despite his success. His experiments eventually backfired on him and turned him into a human dynamo at the cost of driving him insane and causing his body to become translucent whenever he gets pissed. Showing his skeleton all!
