Ah, the 1980s—an era of neon colors, Saturday morning cartoons, and a surprising number of childhood crushes. For many of us, animated characters had an undeniable allure.

Scar-Face first emerges in the shadows of a San Francisco car chase, a Cobra agent fleeing from the relentless pursuit of the G.I. Joe Team. His escape is narrow, but it sets the stage for a character whose actions would ripple…
