Two tropes about Mooks being cowards:

A character offers forgiveness to a mook if he betrays the Big Bad, but the mook refuses, because if he's found out, the Big Bad will torture him. Or, the Anti-Hero threatens to torture the mook, and the mook says the Big Bad's torture would be much worse.
The Bad Ass hero is mowing down thousands of mooks, and the pathetic Bad Boss keeps ordering and threatening mooks to keep attacking the hero. The mooks eventually refuse, saying they're more afraid of the hero than they are of their boss. They either kill the boss themselves, or run away, leaving boss to the hero.
