By that I mean they have that certain combination of disposability and invulnerability....
Seems like they're filling the role that Siler did in SG1 and Lorne did to some extent in SGA: the cool, totally competent supporting character that you can always count on to take care of whatever they need to, mostly off-screen, to advance the plot. They often get hurt while performing their role, but never get killed. They never get to be the "villain" for some reason, despite the fact that they've never shown anything but the capability to do anything they need to, but they're always the perfect "henchmen"
