Cobra Kai: Ranking Every Character Worst To Best

Hawk is a tough nut to crack. While watching him go from tormented teenager to confident badass is inspiring in parts, it's difficult to forgive his newfound appetite for bullying. A rising tide doesn't lift all boats as far as he's concerned.

Admittedly, a few of Hawk's resentments are easy to understand. If shallow classmates subjected us to constant harassment over our facial scar, we'd be angry too. But that doesn't excuse Hawk turning on his longtime ally, Demetri, or hazing Cobra Kai's new recruits. Don't repeat the mistakes of your persecutors', Hawk. That's rule number one of recovery - or at least we think it is.

And it sadly doesn't look as if Hawk's learned any lessons after receiving his comeuppance at the end of season two. We learned that when he blames Johnny Lawrence's kinder, gentler Cobra Kai for Miguel's injuries. What does he want? No mercy! When does he want it? Now!

Oh, well. At least he's still got a sick backpiece.
