Backgrounds
Shadow Joe along with twin brother Shadow Aaron were born 2000 years ago, When Queen Lorraine give birth to them, they were asleep, Shadow Aaron was the first to be awaken, but Shadow Joe was still asleep. Shadow Joe remain asleep for a long time.

Personality
Shadow Joe is a benevolent individual with a strong sense of justice and full responsibility as a superhero, seeking opportunities to help those in need and make live better for everyone. Since childhood, he also vows to protect the multiverse and everyone in it from threats and someday bring peace to the entire mulitiverse.

Shadow Joe is very honest, as he always tell the truth to friends anyone he knows and not willing to tell lie, Sometimes Shadow Joe struggle tell the truth to someone knowing that can result in hurting their feelings such as when he hesitate to tell Fifi Le Fume that Dawn is his true love interest, knowing that telling the truth will make her feel heartbroken, thus making him feel guilty. The only time Shadow Joe actually lies was in "The Lie of the Ears", when he overhear Shadow Aaron's conversation with the other villains about planning to ambush Shadow Joe along with his friends once they fell into their trap, so he has no other choose but to lie to his friends to avoid them coming with him so they are safe from danger. In addiction, Shadow Joe felt intense anxious and remorse for lying to his friends and feared that he may lose their trust for not being honest with them in the beginning. Afterwards, Shadow Joe finally confessed to his friends for his reasons of lying them about the instance and remorsefully apologize for his dishonestly, and promising to always be honest with them in the future, which his friends forgive him upon now understanding that he had good intentions for not telling them the truth from the start, since he was only trying to protect them from Shadow Aaron because he cares deeply for them. In particular, he is willing to admit his mistakes without hesitation.

Apart from being emotionally damaged by his evil twin brother Shadow Aaron, Shadow Joe remains kind-hearted and compassionate by being independent and strong-willed. He is generally kind, friendly and very respectful to his friends and other characters alike, and gets along very well with everyone he interacts. Shadow Joe is very optimistic as he always looks on the bright side of things as a way to make the most of his discoveries by remaining positive for the possibilities of meeting several characters during his quest of being a hero in hope of earning a brighter future and achieving his dream to make the multiverse are better place, not allowing the negative feelings get the better of him and transform him into a evil tyrant like his evil brother Shadow Aaron, due to the promise that he made to his mother before her death by the hands of Shadow Aaron. Numerous characters that he helps to accomplishing their goals would become loyal companions to accompany him on his quest to help him protect the multiverse from evil villains, as a way to express their gratitude. His compassionate nature enable him to easily get along with other characters, no matter of their personality, appearance or background, as shown he didn't view Quasimodo and Shrek as monsters despite their ugliness appearance or Wreck-It Ralph as a villain, since he knows Quasi and Ralph are actually kind-hearted individuals who want to be accepted by people, and Shrek was misunderstand, even not bothered by Shrek's rude behaviour. There are times when Shadow Joe will not always engage in a fight with a villain in order to defeat them. Instead, he will speak much more politely and reasonably to help them see the error their ways, "knowing the way to defeat an enemy is to show a little bit of kindness", and showing no need for unnecessary violence. He also deeply cares his well-being of others, including his family, friends, aillies, and even his enemies, and tries to help them with their problems whenever he can. For Instance, he help Aunt Cass to released both of her nephews Hiro and Tadashi from the police station by paying the charges of involvement in illegal bot-fighting for her in "Big Hero 6". Despite living a life of luxury, Shadow Joe is very generous, preferring to use his money to help orphans, the homeless, the poor, unemployed people, and supports protecting endangered animals. Shadow Joe is willing to share anything he has with his friends and is not selfish at all. He is also not afraid to sacrifice his belongings to less fortune people, such as giving his umbrella to someone who didn't have one to shelter from the rain or giving his own food to starving people.

Shadow Joe shows great respect to all creatures, even those who are perceived lower than him, knowing that every creature must be respected in order for the balance to be maintained between good or evil. Shadow Joe also shows absolute respect toward royalty by bowing down before them. Shadow Joe also values animals, clones, and robots as individuals, never judging by the fact that animals are different from humans, clones being the same as the original, and robots being non-living beings. Over the cource of the series, Shadow Joe became gradually respected by everyone, including by other heroes and the authorities.

Shadow Joe is very reasonable and understanding, always willing to listen to reason and rarely lets his temper get the better of him and never held a grudge against anyone who disrespect him, he will never resolve to punishment without hearing a explanation first of why somebody did something that turned out to be wrong. If he see that someone had understanding reasons for their wrongdoings in the first place, he will forgive them knowing that they had noble intentions for what they did and have no reason to be punished.

When off hero duties, Shadow Joe enjoys paying quality time with his friends whenever he can. In his spare time, he likes listening and dancing to music, watching humorous films, drawing sketches or use his powers to entertain himself and those around him. During much of his days off, Shadow Joe will take his time developing new powers that could be use to help anyone in certain circumstances; an example after finally learning healing abilities he was now able to heal to people's injuries, improve their health, and curing their illnesses. Outside his hero status, Shadow Joe can childish at times, as displayed by the fact that he is seen playing with toys, building sandcastles, doing childish activities, making up his own games to play for himself or others, and playing his favourite childhood game "Hide and Seek". Despite all this, he can still be mature whenever he needs to be, such as taking his role of being a hero and the ruler of good very seriously.

Shadow Joe is forgivable. The most notables are when he does not admonish Thumper for defying his warnings of his magic wand being used in the wrong hands, since the rabbit confessed and apologized to him straight away in "Thumper the Magician". He forgive Mushu for ruining Mulan and Shang's relationships so he could remain as a guardian, after the dragon redeemed himself and rescued Mulan from her fate by posing as the Golden Dragon of Unity to force Lord Qin to cancel the marriage, thus allowing Mulan and Shang to marry as planned in "Mulan II". Additionally, Shadow Joe is willing to forgive his enemies for their wrongdoings no matter how unforgivable their crimes are; as shown he was more willing to forgive Professor Callaghan for indirectly killing Tadashi since the latter truly felt remorse for what happened to Tadashi and apologized to Hiro for unintentionally causing his death, unlike Hiro who was unwilling to forgive Callaghan for accidentality causing Tadashi's death in the first place. As aforementioned, he is also willing to give villains the benefit of a doubt for a chance of redemption. In "Keep Calm Flutter On", he had faith in Fluttershy to be able to reformed Discord, knowing that under her influence would help Discord understand the true meaning of friendship, thus abandoning his villain status and join the forces of good. He hold no hard feelings for anybody's mistreatment of him, as shown when he show no animosity toward Twilight Sparkle and Dawn for the way they disown him for breaking his promise to be at the Pokemon Contest to support Dawn, since they finally realize that he telling the truth about Shadow Aaron attacking Ponyville that day so he needed stop him, even forgive Dawn for slapping in the face. Shadow Joe also has no personal grudges towards his enemies for all the pain they inflict on him over the years whenever they are reformed or unreformed, as he never genuinely unkind toward his enemies and acts friendly to them no matter how villainous they are in anyway, he is also quite polite to his enemies whenever they are not causing havoc. Due to having no fuel toward villains, Shadow Joe is willing to save his enemies from jeopardy, not matter how evil they are. Knowing no matter how cruel they are, he shouldn't leave them to die.

Even though Shadow Joe is very well-meaning, he is not afraid to be assertive to people being unfair or unreasonable, such as when the Elf Referee refuses to let Bambi take part in the Reindeer Games since he was not a reindeer, despite Shadow Joe explaining clearly that Santa Claus give Bambi perimission to join the Reindeer Games, so Shadow Joe decides to transforms into Victreebel and screeches at the Elf Referee, making the latter change his mind and allow Bambi to take part in the games in "Bambi the Red-Nosed Deer".

Despite his external goodness, Shadow Joe is also not afraid to show his anger and disappointment to people for their selfishness or mistakes if necessary. Two examples of this are; when he disapproves of Simba banishing Kovu out of spite, and explains that Mufasa would have forgiven Kova for his initial role in Zira's plan and would have seen that her ambush was not his fault, unlike Simba who banished Kovu without giving him a chance to explain. Shadow Joe reluctant punishes Simba by removing him from the base (which is Shadow Joe's kingdom) so it would help Simba come to his senses, but was shame for the King of Pride Rock failing to follow his late father's paw prints by letting his hatred of Scar get the better of him in "The Lion King II". When Shadow Joe realized that Mushu was responsible for destroying Mulan and Shang's romance, Mushu tries to defend his actions by saying that he was helping Mulan, but Shadow Joe refutes this as the dragon was only helping himself so he could keep his job, and sadly inform Mushu that Mulan will never forgive him for ruining her relationship with Shang should she learn the truth in "Mulan II".

Shadow Joe doesn't like violence, but would still fight his enemies if necessary. He prefers to reason with them and settle things peacefully instead of fighting, knowing violence is not always the answer, making him pacifistic. Nevertheless, Shadow Joe does not like to take part in wresting tournament, as he values it as pointless violence of hurting other wrestlers.

Shadow Joe is a very honourable fighter, as he always fought his opponents and enemies fairly and never performs any dirty tricks. Shadow Joe will always show mercy to them and will never fight a enemy that is weak or defenceless as part of moral code of the Shadow Creatures. Shadow Joe always takes his promises seriously such as being there for others and keeping his part of a bargain and will do what ever he can to not break a promise he has made. Shadow Joe is by-the-book character, always playing by the rules set up games and competitions by never having no resort to cheating and always plays fairly. Shadow Joe always follows the rules, regulations, and traditions of being a Shadow Creature and never attempts to break these laws, as he has respect for their culture of being what makes who they truly are. Shadow Joe does not tolerate those who cheat, as shown when he and Lisa disapproves Margie for cheating in the desert competition.

Shadow Joe is extremely brave and fearless, he immediately to jump into action whenever it come to rescuing his friends and other characters from danger with completely no hesitation, even if its means getting himself either injury, killed or erased from existence in the process, proving that Shadow Joe is more than willing to risk himself for the safety of everyone, though Shadow Joe always survives in the end. He is willing to surrendered himself to his enemies for the safety of friends and never willing to let friends to sacrifice themselves for him since genuinely cares about them as he is deeply concerned of their well-being than his own. Shadow Joe is also concerned for safety of his enemies, as he more than willing to rescue his foes from danger, no matter how cruel they are, even after becoming their victim he never willing to leave his enemies in jeopardy. He is never afraid when fighting his enemies, mostly due to being nigh-omnipotence, especially not afraid to fight powerful villains more tougher than him like Shadow Aaron, Darth Vader, and Alien X (2016). Furthermore, if Shadow Joe loses his powers and immortality, he will still be willing to continue the fight and save the day, despite having a disadvantage, showing he is not a coward to stand up for what he believes in.

Shadow Joe is the most wisest and highest moral character in the franchise, which makes him a great mentor-figure and a role model, such as giving his friends advice to help them solve their problems as well as serving as a voice of reason and moral compress to help others understand the differences between right and wrong to encouragement them make their own chooses to do the right thing which often success into making the rightful decision. He is very supportive towards other characters, such as Ariel's dream to live in the human world, Luca Paguro's curiosity to explore the world above the surface, and Miguel Rivera's love for music. He knows very well that he can always handle things on his own all the time, and will allow his friends and allies to assist him in his hero duties, showing that he wants them to be the heroes of the day beside him. Shadow Joe's judgement is never clouded and he will never accuse anyone for something they didn't do, instead he will seek answers without jumping to conclusions knowing it not right blame anyone for a crime they didn't commit. He also serve as a peacekeeper whenever there conflict by remaining in a calm attitude to help end arguments between characters without losing his temper and causing more problems. He takes his friends under his wings so he can trains them in the ways of a genuine hero like he is. Sometimes Shadow Joe struggles to reason with others, as shown when he tries to encourage Kenai not to kill the bear (Koda's Mother) out of misguided revenge for killing his brother Sitka, because the bear was not responsible for Sitka's death as his brother was willing to give his life to protect Kenai and other older brother Denahi, and avenging his late brother would upset the Great Spirits and might be punished for actions, but Kenai refuse to listen to him and went off to kill the bear anyway.

Due to being nigh-omniscience, Shadow Joe doesn't hold any prejudice against anyone, especially species and groups; he knew that sea monsters are actually harmless and sentinel beings not monsters, he knew that Kovu is completely innocent and never was part of Zira's ambush, he was fully of Mushu's true intentions of making Mulan into a war hero was to regain his role as a guardian but knew that the dragon would soon realize the error of his ways, and much like Sisu he knew there was still good in Namaari.

Shadow Joe has very good patience and tolerates with any inappropriate behaviour; such as Blinky Bill's mischievous antics, Maui's selfishness, Brandy Harrington's spoiled attitude, Slappy Squirrel's crankiness, Inspector Gadget's incompetents and Deadpool's violence antics. However, Shadow Joe's patience does have it's limits. As shown when Blinky Bill constantly kept pulling pranks on Twilight Sparkle while teaching in Miss Magpie's school, Shadow Joe inform Blinky that if he still continues to upset Twilight, he will had no other option but to tell Blinky's mother in "Miss Twilight". Furthermore, Shadow Joe is easily get annoy of people's stubbornness, when not listening to him to what he needs to explain, as shown in "Moana" when Moana was too busy figuring out a way to escape from a cave (after being trapped by Maui) to pay attention to Shadow Joe to what he needs to say, which result him into rasping his voice to make her listen to his method of escaping, which involving teleporting out of the cave.

Shadow Joe take his responsibilities of being the ruler of good very seriously, as aforementioned. He keep on eye on his kingdom to ensure his subjects are alright and not misbehaving or breaking his rules, making sure every villain in their prison cells are behaving themselves and had not escape. Though Shadow Joe never boss his allies around, but can still be strict disciplinarian if they break the rules in his kingdom, and remind his allies that he is in charge of his kingdom and only does what best for them. Shadow Joe still deeply cares for all in his kingdom, acting as a benevolent ruler, and fatherly figure to them. Being a Shadow Creature, he must live by to what he presents, and being the ruler of good, he has no tolerance for anyone's selfishness and unkindness.

Shadow Joe has a very unusually appetite, such as pickles and banana custard, boiled eggs dip in melted chocolate, and pickle onions with jam. He is also addicted to tea, but not fondness to coffee. He also has a sweet tooth, having a carving for cotton candy.

Shadow Joe is badly traumatised by Shadow Aaron destroying his respective home and his family along with the other Shadow Creatures. Shadow Joe will only tell his tragic backstory to his friends, if he has the courage to speak up for it. When Bambi and Littlefoot their mothers, it reminds him for how he lost his own mother, Queen Lorainne. Shadow Joe understands the feeling of losing a parental mother and knows how Bambi and Littlefoot would feel the same way he did when his own mother was killed. Whenever Shadow Joe sees characters with their sisters, it will a reminder for how he used to had a sister of his own, Shadow Selina, which is still saddened of how much he missing her, before she was killed by Shadow Aaron, but Shadow Joe always regain his inner peace to help overcome the pain of the past from time to time, so it does not interfere paying quality time with friends or in the line of his hero duties.

He can also gets very excited when doing human things for the first time such as roasting a marshmallow on a stick there a campfire.

Shadow Joe is very merciful toward his enemies, he never fights them violently and willing to spare his enemies without causing them serious harmed, even preferred to use non-lethal weapons against his enemies.

Though Shadow Joe is famous, he actually care less about fame and glory, and never let fame get to him. Shadow Joe never experts anything in return for his heroics, even politely didn't accept any rewards for his heroic deems, knowing being a hero is it's own reward. Shadow Joe always think about that helping people is the right thing to do, which is most important than fame and glory and never lose sight what's ready important, knowing being a hero is his own reward and never displays egoism of being the most famous superhero of all time.

Shadow Joe always mourns over the death of others, and shows deep sorrow for their demises, whenever his subjects gives their life to the protect the innocent or for the sake of the universe, Shadow Joe will honour these characters for their heroic sacrifice (Stoick the Vast, Iron Man, Black Widow and Anakin Skywalker), and will spread this information to the rest of his living subjects to inform them about the deaths of these heroes who dead with honours. Shadow Joe also use his compassion and kindness to bring out the inner goodness and peace from others, as he always believes there is good in those who are not beyond redemption. Occasionally, Shadow Joe is shown to had sympathy toward his enemies for whatever fate come to them; he felt deeply sorry for Cozy Glow was turned into stone as punishment for her crimes against Equestria due to the fact that she is far too young to have such horrible punishment, which cause explain why he didn't join with Celestia, Luna and Discord to turn her into stone, he was shock and horrified when Deadpool killed Ajax out of spite in "Deadpool", he show pity for eating the Cotton Candy Glob alive in "The Challenge". and he felt deep remorse for killing his brother, Shadow Aaron. Knowing he was too dangerous to be left alive upon learning his true cataclysmic nature despite everything Shadow Aaron done to him and other characters through the years in the "The Return of the Shadow Creature", finally made peace with his brother once the latter died.

Shadow Joe has a incorruptible will and incapable of being corrupted by villains, especially by Shadow Aaron, and has no corrupting factories like envy, lust, greed, pride, gluttony and sloth. Shadow Joe rarely loses this temper, even when getting beaten by someone he remain calm attitude with non-violence tendencies. Unlike most hosts who became corrupted by symbiotes, Shadow Joe was never gets corrupted by the Venom symbiote's influence and still maintain his personality. Shadow Joe always remains humble in order to follows his dreams of bring perfect harmony across the entire multiverse and let his code of the Shadow Creature to help guide him and fulfil his density. However, Shadow Joe does has a bit of a temper, whenever someone insults or upset Twilight Sparkle but has more control over his temper, so he doesn't do anything unthinkable or reckless. He is also very open-minded and takes teasing to minimum and never expresses true anger or resentment.

Despite his mature and serious personality, Shadow Joe has a tendency to make wisecracking or humorous puns to help him gain confidants while fighting his enemies, though he still remain serious and focused while fighting them.

Shadow Joe has a bit of a sensitive side, as shown in "Kenny and Roo" when Kanga gives him a angry look for putting Roo in danger even though was a accident, making him believe that she is angry (actually disappointed) with him for unintentionality putting Roo in jeopardy, making him feel embarrassed and ashamed of himself, thus hurting his feelings. Furthermore, Shadow Joe was even too nervous to speak to Kanga thinking that she might still be mad at him. However, it didn't stop him from informing Kanga that Roo has been kidnapped. He is also sensitive about his feelings, as shown when Twilight Sparkle snaps at him for accidentally ruined one of her books, he felt emotionally hurt and leaves in sorrow.

Shadow Joe is extremely chivalrous, refusing to physical hurt female villains because they were women, instead he would relay on different methods to defeat his female enemies without physically harming them, such as binding, paralysis, immobilized, or putting them to sleep. In "I Can't Hit A Woman" when his powers not working while confront some of his female enemies, he did nothing to fight them, but willingly took being trash by his female enemies without making any attempts to fight them, due to refusing to harmed a woman physically.

Shadow Joe is also kind to animals, and adores and care for all species of animals alike, including endangered animals and predators.

He loves animals so much that he wouldn't eat meat naturally from them instead he preferred to eat meat magically created by him as the meat is not naturally from animal.

Shadow Joe's kind-hearted demeanor has proven to be potential weakness occasionally, due to being more willing to listen to reason and giving his foes the benefit of a doubt, he can sometimes be easily tricked and manipulated to the point of being somewhat and gullible and naïve. This is demonstrated after releasing Scrappy-Doo from prison to give him a chance for redemption while Scooby-Doo and his gang wouldn't trust Scrappy for everything he did to them on Spooky Island, and Twilight Sparkle tries to warm Shadow Joe that Scrappy was taking advantage of his kindness so he wouldn't suspect Scrappy that will betrayed him, but Shadow Joe stubbornly dismisses her claims, since he states that Scrappy has hope for redemption and will give him a chance to redeem himself. This proven to true when Scrappy revealed his true intentions that he never appreciate Shadow Joe's kindness and was never grateful for him released from prison, Scrappy only used Shadow Joe's kindness as a ruse so he can be free from jail and steal some of the Shen Gong Wu to get revenge on Mystery Inc. for sending to prison. After being betrayed by Scrappy, Shadow Joe felt heartbroken and ashamed for his foolishness. Of course, Shadow Joe apologized to both Twilight Sparkle and Mystery Inc. for not trusting their judgements and admitted that they were right about Scrappy-Doo all along. When confronting Scrappy for betrayal, he begs Shadow Joe to give him another chance, but this time Shadow Joe wasn't fool by Scrappy's begging and instead hands him over to the police as punishment for crimes, though Shadow Joe still some remorse for sending Scrappy back to prison for life.
