G.I. Joe: Valor vs. Venom 2004

Cobra targets the local zoo for DNA samples

Cobra deploys drones to the zoo to harvest DNA from the alpha predators. The zoo's vet calls in the Joes to investigate a suspicious disturbance. A tranquilizer dart is left behind, hinting at a hurried operation.

Swords granted to Kamakara and Jinx

Snake Eyes grants his students Kamakara and Jinx ceremonial swords for completing their training. Kamakara's blade refuses to be drawn unless he is in the right mindset, foreshadowing a moment of inner focus. The scene emphasizes bonds and discipline within the Joe team.

Hawk is captured by Cobra

The Joes' senior officer General Hawk is abducted by Cobra allies Destro and the Baroness. The capture signals Cobra's larger plan to capture Hawk for the Venomization process. The team begins mobilizing to rescue him.

Mindbender unveils the Venomization plan

At the Arctic base, Doctor Mindbender explains Cobra Commander's scheme to mutate humans into brainwashed animalized troopers. The plan hinges on capturing Hawk as the new general to command the army. The stakes are raised as the Joes realize Hawk could become a tool for Cobra.

Initial DNA mutation attempt on Hawk fails

Cobra Commander blasts Hawk with a DNA mixture, but the full Venomization process is incomplete and the attempt fails. Hawk's status remains crucial as Cobra seeks a complete conversion. The Joes witness the setback and start to adapt their strategy.

Overkill mutates Hawk into Venomous Maximus

Cyborg BAT Overkill uses a device to scramble Hawk's DNA with the alien samples, transforming him into Venomous Maximus while suppressing his memories. The transformation signals Cobra's shift toward a more animalistic, controlled force. Maximus begins to emerge as a formidable, mind-controlled threat.

Maximus resists Cobra's mind control

Maximus proves resistant to Cobra Commander's mind-control scepter, a side-effect Mindbender had warned about. The amped-up alpha DNA creates unpredictable behavior. The Joes recognize the danger of a free-willed Maximus leading Cobra.

Cobra relocates to a missile facility

With Hawk transformed, Cobra relocates to a recently stolen missile launching facility. Slash and Slice's BATs and Venoms assist in securing the base. The Joes must pivot quickly to retake this critical military asset.

Maximus aligns with Overkill for Cobra takeover

Venomous Maximus forms an alliance with Overkill, promising equality and respect when he seizes Cobra's leadership. This uneasy partnership deepens Cobra's threat as the two factions pursue control. The Joes reassess how to counter a hybrid commander who commands both brains and brawn.

Joes attack and develop an antidote

The Joes mount an assault to reclaim the base and work on an antidote to nullify the Venoms. They race against time as Maximus mutinies earlier, complicating Cobra's plans. The antidote's development becomes a turning point in the battle.

Mindbender traps Maximus with a magnetic field

Mindbender uses a magnetic field trap to help the antidote cure, attempting to neutralize Maximus. The plan falters as the field's interference prevents the cure from taking full effect. The Joes and Mindbender work to salvage the operation.

Missile backfire and Hawk is cured

Cobra Commander launches a missile to eliminate Maximus, but the impact backfires through the magnetic field, sending the missile into the base and curing Hawk in the process. The unexpected chain reaction also buries Overkill under debris.

Overkill buried as Cobra escapes

The backfired missiles create a loop that buries Overkill and allows Mindbender and Cobra to escape. The base becomes a chaotic battleground as Cobra's forces scramble to regroup. The Joes secure the fallen Overkill but are left to confront Cobra Commander's fate.
