Shadow Joe is the main protagonist of the character crossover Character What.
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 multiverse. As a superhero, Shadow Joe spends most of his days saving people, fighting villains, and keeping the Earth safe. This extended to the universe and the entire multiverse, as he saved several planets, galaxies, and different universes in the multiverse.
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. As a honest individual, he disapproves those who are consistently dishonest.
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 genuinely kind, friendly and very respectful to his friends, allies and enemies alike, and gets along very well with almost 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 misunderstood, even not bothered by Shrek's grouchy behavior. 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 cares about everyone, including his family, friends, and allies, 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 most animals are non-sapient, clones being the same as their original counterpart, and robots being non-living beings. Over the course 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 is much more upbeat, laid-back, and fun-loving, he enjoys paying quality time with his friends, listening and dancing to music, watching humorous films, drawing sketches or use his powers to entertain both himself and others. 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. Shadow Joe can be somewhat 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 favorite 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 very forgiving. 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 grudges for anyone's mistreatment of him, such as he hold no animosity toward Twilight Sparkle and Dawn for their unfair mistreatment of 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 and needed stop him, even forgive Dawn for slapping in the face. Shadow Joe also hold no personal grudges towards his enemies, no matter how much pain they inflict him or his friends whenever they are reformed or unreformed, he does shows genuine compassion toward his enemies whenever they are not causing havoc.
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 permission 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 honorable 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 defenseless 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 the Shadow Creature code, as he has respect for their culture of being what makes who they truly are. Shadow Joe also does not tolerate those who cheat, as shown when he and Lisa Simpson confronted Margie Simpson for cheating in the desert competition, even when Marge justify his actions by saying that the other contestants sabotage her deserts so they deserved it for the way they treated her, but Shadow Joe still expresses his disappointment her for cheating in anyway, knowing it wasn't necessary for Marge to sabotage the other contestants because he knows cheating is wrong.
Shadow Joe is extremely brave and fearless, he immediately to jump into action whenever it come to saving his friends and allies from danger without hesitation. He cared deeply about all of his friends, as he would never give up them no matter what the cost, even if its means getting himself either injury, killed or erased from existence in the process, 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 save 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.

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.
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 patients and tolerates with any inappropriate behavior; 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), and apologizes to Moana afterward for shouting at her. He also has no tolerance for those who disrespect his friends
