G.I. Joe: Renegades is an original-animated television series by and on The Hub, in the United States. The series premiered on November 26, 2010 on The Hub. The series airs on Teletoon in Canada.

Plot

A group of young G.I.s are forced to become fugitives after a spy mission goes horribly wrong that involves the explosion of Cobra Industries' Cobra Pharmaceuticals. Now branded as renegades by the media for crimes they didn't commit, they're forced to fight. Pursued by the authorities, Cobra mercenaries, and the Falcons, they must use all their skills to prove their innocence and to expose the true face of Cobra Industries and its mysterious leader Adam DeCobray.

According to the recent "Hub Exclusive" TV broadcast, promoting this series and the Transformers: Prime, homages to The A-Team movie are used in the background of this incarnation of the characters. Most notable is that Roadblock is stated to parallel B.A. Baracus in size and mechanical aptitude, and Flint is formally an actual officer (First Lieutenant in Army Intelligence) rather than a warrant officer and is specifically the officer assigned to arrest the "Renegades", akin to Colonel Lynch of the A-Team series. Also Lady Jaye is sympathetic to her long time friend Duke and provides covert support for him and the Renegades as was Captain Charissa Sosa in the A-Team film and AAA in the 1980s TV series.

Opening

After two episodes, the series intro is narrated by David Kaye:

"Accused of a crime they didn't commit, a ragtag band of fugitives fights a covert battle to clear their names and expose the insidious enemy that is... Cobra.

Some call them outlaws.

Some call them heroes.

But these determined men and women think themselves only as 'Ordinary Joes'.

And this is their story."

Characters

G.I. Joe

• Duke (voiced by Jason Marsden) - The team's de facto leader, Sergeant Conrad Hauser is an honorable and straight-forward military man. He tends to be stubborn and stoic, and puts the safety of his teammates and his family first, even if they protest. He was once a rising football star in high school, but an injury in his senior year ruined his chances at getting a college scholarship. Flint, who was indirectly responsible for his injury, later helped him out by suggesting he join the Army. On the show, his typical attire is a combat uniform, with a beige vest over a gray and olive short-sleeved shirt with shoulder pads, with olive drab cargo pants. In combat he favors a plasma pulse pistol.
• Snake Eyes (voiced by Danny Cooksey in early flashbacks) - A long time friend of Scarlett's, Snake Eyes is for lack of a better description, a ninja. He was given the name "Hebi no me" ("Snake Eyes") by his sensei, Hard Master, because he possesses the "steely gaze of a serpent". His real name and his exact connection with the military have not yet been revealed, but he appears to at least have some official connection with Scarlett's operations in Military Intelligence. He cannot speak due to a throat injury he suffered from an altercation with Storm Shadow following Hard Master's death. Though Scarlett is often able to understand what he wants to convey due to their long time training together. His clothing is a gray and black body suit with a slitted visor, matching trousers, and he carries a pair of tsuba-less ninjatō on his back. Among the Joes, he is the only one that is not technically "wanted" as there was no record of his presence at the plant explosion.
• Scarlett (voiced by Natalia Cigliuti) - Because of her hair color, the Joes call her "Red" for short. Lieutenant Shana "Scarlett" O'Hara is Military Intelligence officer who has been obsessed with exposing COBRA as a sinister organization. She is a whiz with computers and was also trained in Ninjitsu by Snake Eyes, whom she continues to have a deep emotional connection to. She feels responsible for the Joes' status as fugitives, because she more or less ordered them to go with her on an unauthorized operation, without their knowledge. Her uniform consists of an orange vest worn over a tight gray long-sleeved shirt, and lighter gray pants. She uses a pistol or a Plasma Pulse Crossbow in combat.
• Roadblock (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - The teams mechanic, heavy weapons specialist and cook. Corporal Marvin Hinton is a an imposing figure, but is gentle giant and a cheerful loudmouth who enjoys listening to heavy metal and singing loudly (much to Tunnel Rat's annoyance). He wears an heavy olive drab ballistic vest over a light yellow shirt, and brown trousers. In combat he carries a large Plasma Pulse Machine Gun.
• Tunnel Rat (voiced by Matthew Yang King) - The team's medic and EOD specialist. Private First Class Nicky Lee grew up in Brooklyn where he spent much of his youth exploring the subway tunnels and sewers. He is very knowledgeable of soil types, insects, fungi, medicinal plants and most things found underground. Interpersonally, he tends to be sarcastic and likes to crack wise, often acting as comic relief. He wears a green shirt with a brown bandana and watch cap, and a pair a of baggy overalls with the shoulder-straps undone so the upper portion hangs down from his waist. Tunnel Rat is Chinese-American and at one point mentioned his parents run a kosher Chinese restaurant in Brooklyn, alluding to the fact that he doesn't celebrate Christmas.
• Breaker (voiced by Greg Ellis) - Alvin Kibbey is a college student who used to work for SSS Mart (which is owned by Cobra Industries) until he was fired upon being accused of stealing one of their scanners (which he secretly did after that). Alvin ends up starting an Anti-Cobra blog under the alias of the "Coyote". G.I. Joe ends up stumbling upon a plot to dispose of him when they managed to discover that a package to him had a detonator. When they find Alvin, he recognizes Scarlett by her blog screen name. Alvin explains that the scanner he stole contains the info on any illegal weapon sellings that SSS Mart has been doing. G.I. Joe ends up protecting him when Baroness sends Major Bludd to assassinate him. Even though Major Bludd threw his knife at Alvin's backpack, it ended up destroying the scanner. When G.I. Joe fled, Alvin managed to rewire the detonator that was meant for him which blew up the warehouse costing Major Bludd his left eye. Seeing as Cobra thinks he's dead, Alvin joins up with G.I. Joe under the codename "Breaker" while Roadblock names their transport the "Coyote." In the episode "Return of the Arashikage" Pt. 1, it appears that Breaker has been placed in a hidden location by G.I. Joe in order to find any other evidence that would expose the illegal activities of Cobra Industries. In "The Enemy of My Enemy," Breaker is mentioned to have some informants working for him to supply any info to G.I. Joe...if those informants aren't killed by one of Cobra Commander's operatives first.
• Ripcord (voiced by Khary Payton) - A paratrooper brought with the team during their initial mission to the Cobra facility. Private Wallace Weems is a smart mouthed daredevil, and is responsible for many of the team's nicknames. He was supposedly killed in an explosion in "The Descent" Pt. 1 when a Bio-Viper grabbed him.

Falcons

The Falcons are a group of military officers sent by General Abernathy to bring in the G.I. Joe team.

• Flint (voiced by Johnny Messner) - The highly decorated leader of military task force "The Falcons" is in charge of catching the G.I. Joes. First Lieutenant Dashiell Faireborn has been locking horns with Duke since high school and that's one of the many reasons why he's tracking Duke now. Flint might seem cocky, but he's a decent guy, even if he doesn't believe COBRA is evil and is all about bringing in Duke's team. His history with Duke started when he was on the opposing football team and prevented Duke from scoring a touchdown and inadvertently breaking his leg costing him college scholarships. Upon encountering Duke later, Flint got him enrolled in the army.
• Lady Jaye (voiced by Nika Futterman) - She's tough, scrappy, and "one of the guys." So when they call Sergeant Alison Hart-Burnett "Lady Jaye," it's almost a joke. She's supposed to be working to bring in the Joes, but Lady Jaye owes Duke after he saved her life when her helicopter crashed during a mission to stop a weapons trade held by M.A.R.S. Industries. So she secretly feeds his team intel to keep them out of Flint's reach and also helps them with their battle against Cobra Industries.
• Wild Bill (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) - William Hardy is a helicopter pilot and warrant officer who worked for the U.S. Army as a pilot. While escaping and disguised as the Baroness, Zartan stole a camo suit and a Cobra truck. With the Falcons in pursuit, Flint radioed for a helicopter. Lady Jaye, Baroness, and Cobra soldiers awaited with Flint on the highway. Wild Bill's helicopter responded to Flint's message who ordered him to take them aboard to pursue the Joes and Zartan. Baroness insisted on going along, but Flint ordered her to leave her soldiers (from which he took their weapons). Wild Bill was able to fly Flint and Lady Jaye to where the Joes were found to be battling Zartan.

Cobra Industries

• Cobra Commander (voiced by Charlie Adler) - Cobra Commander is reinterpreted as a corporate businessman known as Adam DeCobray, head of the legitimate Cobra pharmaceutical corporation which masks his ruthless terrorist organization which is determined to rule the world. His appearance is vastly different from his earlier incarnations as his lower face is damaged and covered in a plastic shielding wrap. His skin is paler than average human, and has a red/blue eye and a bald head. He keeps his disfigured appearance a secret from the world, only ever appearing to the public as a normal-looking virtual simulation over video screens expect that only the Joes, Destro, Doctor Mindbender, and Baroness who knew his true self. Cobra Commander is also responsible for planting a metal mask on Destro that only he can remove. Cobra Commander also has a genetically modified giant cobra named Serpentor as a pet.
• Destro (voiced by Clancy Brown) - An infamous arms dealer, James McCullen started M.A.R.S. Industries to compete with COBRA prior to a literal corporate take over to supply COBRA with his tech skills and weapon designs. However, when his attempt to get rid of Doctor Mindbender through the Joes is revealed, McCullen is temporarily swallowed by Serpentor and forced to wear a metal mask that only Cobra Commander can remove receiving the name "Destro."
• Baroness (voiced by Tatyana Yassukovich): Known as Anastasia Cisarovna, Baroness is also a femme fatale and a corporate saboteur who serves as Cobra Commander's right hand woman. In charge of maintaining COBRA Industries' friendly publicity while overseeing its illegal activities, Baroness would not hesitate to dealing with any loose ends that would jeopardize COBRA Industries.
• Doctor Mindbender (voiced by Charlie Schlatter) - The youthful and arrogant Dr. Brian Bender is a scientist who is one of the most wanted criminals due to his lack of morals in inhuman genetic experiments. He was brought into COBRA to provide his knowledge in its secret Bio-Viper program. He was also responsible for creating Serpentor the Cobra to be Cobra Commander's pet. He later obtained Tomax and Xamot to be used as part of his experiment that involved modifying the Bio Vipers.
• Major Bludd (voiced by André Sogliuzzo) - Major Sebastian Bludd is a mercenary hired by the Baroness to eliminate ex-Cobra Industries employee turned Anti-Cobra internet blogger Alvin Kibbey when a mail bomb plot (meant for Kibbey) is foiled by the Renegades. In his first encounter with the Joes, Major Bludd locates his target, but Kibbey is saved by the Renegades. Major Bludd tracks them to a SSS mart warehouse (part of Cobra illegal weapons business) and manages to hit Kibbey with a knife seemingly killing him. Fortunately, the knife hits Kibbey's backpack and not him, but it hit the stolen Cobra scanner it contained. Major Bludd is caught in the warehouse explosion caused by Kibbey's rewired mail bomb when he returned the bomb back to its sender. But he survives and reports to Baroness that he has eliminated his target. As he holds his injured left eye, Major Bludd tells Baroness that he will do any job to take on the Renegades for free (as he blames them for his new injury).
• Storm Shadow (voiced by Andrew Kishino) - Tomisaburo Arashikage is a ninja who once trained with Snake Eyes under his uncle the Hard Master (the head of the Arashikage clan). But when their sensei was murdered, Tomisaburo blamed Snake Eyes and swore to get revenge. When he is informed about the G.I. Joe team that Snake Eyes is a part of making the news, Storm Shadow trails them to Snake Eyes' hidden dojo and captures Jinx upon taking down the G.I. Joe team. Though he manages to defeat Snake Eyes (but didn't kill him) and persuade Jinx to follow in the Hard Master's footsteps, Storm Shadow started going after the G.I. Joe team in order to finish the job. He fought Snake Eyes on a military train and ended up assisting Baroness in retrieving a console that would expose Cobra Industries. Later on, Baroness encountered Storm Shadow inside Cobra Industries as Storm Shadow forms an allegiance with Baroness and Cobra Industries.
• Scrap-Iron (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - Scrap-Iron is a scientist at M.A.R.S. Industries who captured people from the streets in order to brainwash them and test M.A.R.S. Industries new exo-armors and power their rage. He did this on behalf of Destro while posing as a preacher offering veterans coffee. Tunnel Rat became one of the victims. Soon, Roadblock ended up captured when he found Scrap-Iron and subjected to the same experiment that Tunnel Rat and the other people befell. When G.I. Joe arrived and disabled the controls on the exo-armor, Roadblock lunged towards Destro and Scrap-Iron as they get into their helicopter. Though Roadblock managed to deflect the missile back at the helicopter injuring part of Scrap-Iron's head. Destro tells Scrap-Iron that his injuries will be avenged.
• Dreadnoks - The Dreadnoks are a biker gang that are allied with Cobra.
  • Zartan (voiced by Brian Bloom) - Zartan is the leader of the Dreadnoks who has the ability to mimic anyone's voice. He and his Dreadnoks terrorized a town in Kansas for their protection money even putting fear in the local Sheriff Terry. Zartan managed to capture a local waitress named Wendy causing Snake-Eyes to go after her. Snake-Eyes managed to free Wendy and got ganged up on by Zartan and the other Dreadnoks. The other G.I. Joe members had to teach the town to stand up to Zartan and the Dreadnoks. When the Dreadnoks presented the captured Snake-Eyes, Zartan ends up fighting the Joes when the Dreadnoks attack. When Zartan takes Wendy captive, he ends up tackled by Sheriff Terry who manages to defeat Zartan and arrest him. Zartan and the Dreadnoks then ended up being handed over to the Falcons. During the time when Zartan was being used by Flint and Lady Jaye to track down G.I. Joe, an altercation between them, G.I. Joe, and Baroness' convoy caused Zartan to escape and steal the prototype experimental "chameleon mold" suit (which resembles Zartan's usual outfit used in the other cartoons) that enables him to mimic the appearance and mannerism of anyone he comes in contact with. After a fight with G.I. Joe followed by a power surge that left black marks around Zartan's eyes, Zartan was defeated and returned to jail while Baroness takes the chameleon mold to Cobra Commander. Due to the device acquiring the DNA of the first wearer as part of the chameleon mold's "fail safe imprinting feature" and Baroness having mind-wiped the creator that worked with Cobra on it, Baroness ends up visiting Zartan in jail where she makes a "get out of jail" offer that Zartan accepts.
  • Buzzer (voiced by Charlie Adler) - A chainsaw-wielding member of the Dreadnoks.
  • Monkeywrench (voiced by Charlie Adler) - A member of the Dreadnoks who is an explosives expert.
  • Ripper (voiced by Jason Marsden) - Member of the Dreadnoks.
  • Road Pig (voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson) - A sledgehammer-wielding member of the Dreadnoks.
  • Torch (voiced by Matthew Yang King) - A cutting torch-wielding member of the Dreadnoks.
• Tomax and Xamot (voiced by Stephen Stanton) - Tomax and Xamot are identical twin brothers with fantastical abilities in hypnotic persuasion and mind-control. They began as crooked cult leaders who harnessed their powers to "fleece" believers. The Twins plan to enhance their natural abilities and unleash their wrath upon the world. The key to their success lies in their connection to one another, a telepathic force so strong that if one twin is struck, the other feels every bit of pain. When the Joes end up in their desert oasis after finding Sister Leia of their cult, the Joes end up under their control except for Tunnel Rat. Snake Eyes pretended to be mind-controlled in order for him and Tunnel Rat to infiltrate the temple in order to break their mind-control. Snake Eyes destroyed the eye that boosted Tomax and Xamot's powers causing Tunnel Rat and Snake Eyes to split up the twins. Tomax and Xamot managed to convince Doctor Mindbender to take them with him. Moments later, Tomax and Xamot are strapped to a table so that Doctor Mindbender can siphon their mind control for his Bio Vipers project.
• Firefly (voiced by Peter MacNicol) - Call him a professional arsonist or a pyromaniac, Firefly (complete with burn marks) is portrayed as a "madman with matches" as he treats fire as if it was a living breathing human being. Firefly is sent by Baroness and Doctor Mindbender to burn the dry town of Green Ridge when they were issued a court order to prevent the construction of a dam built by Cobra Industries. First, Firefly tries to burn down Mayor Lockridge's house, but it was thwarted by Duke, Roadblock, and Tunnel Rat. Then Firefly is ordered by Baroness to torch the entire town when all Cobra personnel leave so they can blame G.I. Joe for the blaze. Duke continued to pursue Firefly, but he managed to escape and blow up the bridge out of town, forcing the Joes to TNT the dam so water can douse the flames in the town below. Duke and Snake Eyes confronted Firefly, but he escaped once again stowing away on his helicopter that Roadblock was piloting and ended up fighting Barbecue in the back causing the helicopter to lose control. However, Roadblock got Barbecue out on time as Firefly's helicopter crashed into a cliff. It is unknown if Firefly survived the helicopter crash or not.
• Bio Vipers - The Bio Vipers are liquidated monsters created by Doctor Mindbender from experimented plants. They also have a neuro-processing compound in them. After Doctor Mindbender's lab was blown up, one Bio Viper managed to survive and make its way to a farm town. The Bio Vipers show weaknesses to explosions and weed killer. Later, Doctor Mindbender upgrades the Bio Vipers with a Bio-Dampening Chip which made them more intelligent but vulnerable to headshots.
• Mecha-Vipers - The Mecha-Vipers are a Fusion of Bio-Vipers and the exo suit armors developed by M.A.R.S. industries. The Mecha Vipers possess neither the weaknesses of the original Bio Vipers nor the M.A.R.S exo suits.
• Shadow Vipers - The Shadow Vipers are a black-colored version of the Bio Vipers. Using the siphoning of Tomax and Xamot's paranormal abilities, Doctor Mindbender creates the Shadow Vipers to obey Storm Shadow's command through thoughts in his mind making what he calls "Synthetic Doppelgänger". The Shadow Vipers can materialize any part of themselves into ninja weapons such as katana blades and shuriken.
• Techno-Viper - The Techno-Viper is an energy-draining Bio Viper that can manipulate any technology that it acquires. Due to the prototype Techno-Viper being uncontrollable, Cobra Industries had to put it into a container and keep it in cold temperatures. G.I. Joe had found a container consisting of a prototype Techno-Viper in the arctic circle.

Other characters

• General Clayton Abernathy (voiced by Lee Majors) - Don't think he's weak because he walks with a cane, General Clayton Abernathy is tough as nails.

When he got a call from Scarlett about what she learned, General Abernathy tells her that her team made the front news about what happened at Cobra Pharmaceuticals. When Duke claims they were set up, General Abernathy tells them to turn themselves in because unless they have proof of their innocence, he can't help them. When General Abernathy asks Baroness if she needs help quarantining the nearby town, Baroness says that the military has done enough. General Abernathy then appointed Flint to lead a team of military officers to bring Duke in.
• Jinx (voiced by Kim Mai Guest) - Kimi Arashikage is a kunoichi who is the daughter of Hard Master (the leader of the Arashikage ninja clan) and cousin of Tomisaburo Arashikage (the ninja known as Storm Shadow). After the death of her father, Kimi and Snake Eyes left the clan and relocated to a cabin in the mountains. As Snake Eyes' first apperentice in ninjistu, she calls herself "Jinx" because she seems to bring only bad luck to those around her. When Storm Shadow tracks Snake Eyes to his hidden dojo, he managed to make off with Jinx. Later on, after being convinced by Storm Shadow that Snake Eyes did in reality kill her father the Hard Master, Jinx (now called Kimi) joins her cousin (in reality Snake Eyes was attempting to save the Hard Master who had been poisoned by an unknown party just as he was about to hand over control of the Arashikage to Snake Eyes). While Storm Shadow goes after G.I. Joe, Kimi goes back to Japan to lead the Arashikage in his place. Before heading back, she found the same throat poker that Snake Eyes tried to use to save Hard Master (until Storm Shadow's interference) and squeezes it in her hands.

Joes for their good deeds and vows to help them when they need his services.
• Doc (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - Dr. Greer is a physician who first appeared in the episode "Rage" trying to treat the victims of Destro and Scrap-Iron's experiments.

When Flint and Lady Jaye storm the prison, Order takes down Granger (the Captain of the Guards) and Law saves Flint from two inmates.

He was against the Anti-Cobra protests at first, but ended up assisting Roadblock in blowing up a dam in order to put out a fire in town that Firefly started. When asked by Roadblock how he got his burns on his left arm, Kelly states that "a few years ago, some mad man with a book of matches took everything from him." Roadblock gave him the nickname "Barbecue" which he liked because it suited him well.
