YMMV / Jonny Quest vs. the Cyber Insects

• Alternate Character Interpretation: Dr. Belage was cloning the assassin bugs for less than noble purposes. When she points out to Dr. Zin how dangerous they are, he asks, "Then why were you cloning them?" and the only answer she can come up with is "To help people, Zin!" which is quite vague. But what good can such destructive insects serve? See WMG for more.
• Complete Monster (includes Jonny's Golden Quest): Dr. Zin is the Arch-Enemy of the Quest family, having killed Jonny's mother in Golden Quest. Returning in Cyber Insects with an army of genetically modified insects to invade Earth, Zin utilizes a stealth satellite to cause vast parts of the world to freeze or be subjected to horrible storms, causing starvation with potentially millions threatened. A truly horrible boss, Zin is also fond of horrifically killing his minions for petty reasons, having one fed to his "mosquitoids" for entirely pragmatic advice and another frozen to death for Dr. Quest's escape despite never being in charge of watching him. Plotting to invade Earth, Zin stops at nothing to ensure his total domination, likening it to "breaking a few eggs" for an omelette.
• Fridge Horror: What happened to henchmen 1 through 424?
• Fanon Discontinuity: Fans of the classic series dislike Jonny's attitude problem as well as the overall absurd plot (Jonny Quest fighting alien bugs in space). Zin callously killing his henchmen and his hideous appearance (worse than before) are common complaints, as well.
• Hilarious in Hindsight: Despite the above complaints about Dr. Zin, his appearance and a few other traits would apparently be incorporated into The Venture Bros.' Dr. Z, who may or may not be him under a different name.
