My favorite, from the Iron Grenadiers' file card:
"Specialties: Terrorism, sales, marketing development" Damn, that's EVIL!

The Dreadnoks names; Tom Winken, (Torch) Dick Blinken (Buzzer) and Harry Nod (Ripper) are an inside joke by Larry Hama, and an allusion to Winken, Blinken, and Nod from the childrens' nursery rhyme, "The Three Fisherman".
And lot of joes have their birthplaces listed as Rhode Island not just because Hasbro is based there, but also because a lot of joe figures have names (and/or anagrams of names) of Hasbro employees. |
