Depends on format. If the show is on a kids network, I shift focus to Cobra with G.I. Joe being the somewhat corny, heroic force that foils the comical Cobra which would consist of:
Cobra Commander (Sunbow characterization, but even more ridiculous. Trust fund baby. Never worked a day in his life. Cobra was originally a philanthropic organization started by his wealthy dead parents who genuinely loved him. He's just a malcontent. Running gag about the fact that the charity organization was still named Cobra.)
Baroness (Competent Company Woman, but vain. Family was rich, but fell into poverty. Cobra's the way back to the good life.)
Destro (Straight Man and lead scientist. On friendly terms with Doc. Calls the Commander "Adam" when he gets really frustrated with his nonsense.)
Tomax and Xamot (Goofy acrobat space cases. Treats everything like a game.)
Storm Shadow (Aloof, smug, "never my fault guy." Shared running gag with Snake Eyes: He or another character will start to discuss their shared backstory and the Arashikage with sepia tones and then get cut off before we learn anything. If a second season happens, a whole two-parter would be devoted to this.)
On the side of good:
Duke (corny, naive boy scout. Skilled, but unaware of how out of touch he is. VA plays him like a character in a 40s serial. Impoverished background, but eternally optimistic.)
Scarlett (Straight Woman keeps Duke on track, but can be proven wrong and is often taken aback by how ridiculous things are. Example: "There's no way they would start a food delivery service just to spite the local pizza chain!")
Doc II (Medic and science wiz. Excitable. Always looking at her screenless screens.)
Roadblock (Cheerful chef. Rhymes. The big guy. Phenomenal luck.)
Snake Eyes (Storm Shadow's aloof rival. Ultra skilled Ninja. Scarlett has a crush that everyone can see but him. Running gag of him taking souvenirs from every mission sometimes they just show up on base without explanation.)
Other characters can show up for an episode as needed. General Flagg is the team's sponsor. He's got Scioli's characterization.
Season 1 finale, Cobra winds up indebted to Cobra-La and forced to help them. They're played as serious villains and in the end both teams work together to stop them.
If it's on Netflix, just G.I. Joe Resolute again.

.. Reason: spacing to make easier to read. Added some things.
