Yes, but it's described as a reincarnation of an evil figure from history, and the body vanishes after death to prove the point

The character named Sargent Hatred is a known pedophile and there are frequent references made to this, as well as implications that he had abused the main two brothers when they were minors.

Rusty although he does get better as the show goes on. Granted the ending of S7E5 will probably not sit well if you have this trigger

In the beginning Dr. Venture is addicted to diet pills, this stops as seasons go on. Action Johnny was a drug addict and this is a main point for his character until he recovers in S4E6. The Pirate Captain uses tranquilizers on himself which is implied to be a drug to him, he is forced to quit.

Cross dressing is sometimes played for laughs. Dr. Girlfriend is subjected to transphobic jokes and rumors in the early seasons, but this ends by Season 3. Hunter Gathers also has a transphobic storyline at one point not helped by the fact that he de-transitions back into a man

Pretty bad transphobia in the early seasons although they later backtrack on it. Although the show still kind of relies on stereotypes even if in their defense its usually to make fun of the racism of the 1960’s and 70’s action cartoons they’re parodying. Some are a bit harder to defend though

The character of Dr. Girlfriend is a woman with a very deep voice. She is often misgendered in the early seasons and other characters will often discuss her sex or gender in a transphobic manner.

Sgt Hatred’s ex-wife Princess Tony Feet is heavily into it to the point of it being her only major defining character trait. There’s also one part in S4E14 where Dr Mrs Monarch and 21 pretend that they’re having a session in order to get some of the other henchmen out and avoid being discovered. Later on in Season 6 we also see Brock engage in this with Wariana as part of his character arc
