** [[BigBad Cobra Commander]] is, much like many of his other incarnations, a pure evil lunatic in this mini-series created to make a more realistic take on the franchise. As the leader of the terrorist group Cobra, the Commander is a power-hungry madman obsessed with bringing America to its knees, and [[EstablishingCharacterMoment kicks the story off]] by blowing up the Golden Gate Bridge and the many innocents on it. Going on to try and steal the United States Constitution, the Commander's ultimate plan is to drop [[TheVirus the Omega Black virus]] onto a highly-populated city, which will [[CruelAndUnusualDeath painfully rot the bodies of the millions infected by it before melting their brains]], at which point he will blackmail other cities to cow to his whims. When the Joes show up to stop him, the Commander attempts to simply [[NukeEm launch as many nukes as possible]] as he makes his retreat. Despite his seemingly-benevolent attitude toward his minions, this is [[BadBoss completely thrown out the window]] when he is revealed to ruthlessly execute anyone who fails him, even animals, and goes a murder spree of his own soldiers for the pettiest of reasons. Though slightly implied to have a tragic backstory and many claims of well-intentioned goals, Cobra Commander is ultimately shown to be a remorseless and deranged tyrant with nothing but {{greed}} and evil itself driving him.

** [[PsychoForHire Firefly]] is a mercenary-turned-Cobra agent who takes joy in [[WickedCultured classical music]] and [[MadBomber blowing things up]].

Firefly murders anyone who tries to approach the rig, and later mocks a Joe over the fact that Firefly killed the man's girlfriend in a previous job.
