Joseph

Joseph is a recurring character in Spyman's Cosmos Universe and one of the Spyman's Cosmos group members. He is also one of The Truck Bros, other being Rex and Ryan. Joseph is the brain of Spyman's Cosmos and one of its leading scientists, along Dr Saturn and Mad. 
== Biography ==
=== Early life ===
Joseph was born many years ago as the brother of Rex and Ryan, with whom he grew up. He studied at the Bosjorn University alongside Dr Saturn. There, they were the leaders of the Science Club. At one point, Alice Marbleford, an exchange student from Ireland, joined the club and the two soon befriended her. After graduation, him, Saturn and Alice moved to Alice's private lab in Avelwyd.
At some point he met Spymankiller and others and joined Spyman's Cosmos, alongside his brothers and college friends.
=== Collision Course ===
When Spyman's Cosmos went to spend their vacation in a resort, Joseph didn't take a break from his research and at one point noticed that the Andromeda Galaxy was being pulled closer and closer towards the Milky Way. Upon seeing that, he called Luis to show him the interesting results. However, the computer didn't seem interested in that, despite Joseph's fear that the neighbouring galaxy could be on a collision course with theirs. The scientist eventually let him go.
=== Hurricane Inbound ===
As the weather in Snowies had become worse, Joseph began to conduct weather tests and eventually found out that a massive storm had hit Europe, meaning he and his friends were stuck in Spy's Mansion. He notified his brothers about that and Rex obvously joked about it, but Joseph brought him back to his senses. 
Much later, he was doing some chores in his lab and when he eventually attempted to exit it, he was locked in there by Rex, who ate the key, for, as he put it in a note, being a big nerd.
Joseph did get out somehow though and ran into PCus at one point. He noticed that his computer friend was upset and he told him that he had an argument with Mangle, which surprised Joseph, as they were very good friends. PCus told everything how he said that tanks didn't have feelings. The truck scientist suggested that he could try to reason with Mangle, since the argument was only verbal. This cheered the desktop up. He thanked Joseph and he in turn wished luck. PCus left and eventually apologized to his friend.
Later, Joseph was working in the lab again, this time with Dr Saturn. They were working on some wires, when they noticed the light getting through the door and realized that the storm appeared to be over. Although it only seemed like it and it returned soon, it was only for a while and the friends could finally go outside.
=== Deep Sleep ===
After Dr Saturn had found out that Spy was being tormented by constant nightmares, he told Joseph and they both knew something had to be done. Joseph was responsible for calling Mad Playz to form the Dream Team and test out their brand new machine to enter dreams.
Eventually, the Dream Team Machine was ready, but when they activated it, it didn't work. They figured that they needed Spy to be asleep in order to enter his dreams, so Mad and Saturn went to ask Arthur if he could put his grandson to sleep by telling him a story. 
Ultimately, the plan worked and the three entered Spyman's nightmare. Inside his conciousness, Sat noticed that they weren't as dark as the place and Joseph explained that it was the machine keeping them highlighted. They then came across their friend, who warned them that the monster would get them. As they were unaware of what he was talking about, Spy showed them a gun monster lurking in the darkness. Although it looked blind, it quickly opened its eyes, but before anything was done, Joseph opened his ray gun and shot the beast, resulting in killing it and getting the Dream Team out of Spy's mind.
=== In Search of the Scarlet Griffin ===
In the summer of 2018, Joseph, along with many of his friends, was invited to Phil's Mansion by Phil. There, he and Mad decided to start building a teleporter, which would make the travelling between their respective homes easier. 
After spending some time together, the friends were met with another challenge, when Phil received a message from his old friend, Jenny Brown, who was searching for an artifact called The Scarlet Griffin. Joseph and the other scientists decided to research it and at one point, they also noticed a code hiding in Jenny's message, that the map to the idol was located in Belgium. When approached by Phil, Joseph and Mad told him about The Griffin's powers and what one needed to do to possess it. Subsequently, Phil and a few others left the house, while Joseph and Mad decided to continue working on their teleport to eventually join the quest too.
It was completed the following day and Joseph gathered everyone to present the creation. However, Rex and Blank Tank weren't there and when it turned out that they were digging another hole, Joseph didn't care and proceeded to the unveiling. Mad turned on the machine, saying that he would teleport a random object from Australia. In the matter of seconds, everyone witnessed the appearance of none other than No-Life in front of them. The boy thought that it was a prank and he started attacking them, but was eventually calmed down by Pankid and Mangle with the former asking Joseph if it was possible to send him back where he was. 
Joseph confirmed and told No-Life that he would be back in Australia soon. However, the kid claimed that he was actually in Austria and despite Mad trying to correct him, he was eventually sent to the latter location. Although the teleporter did choose the right place in the end, it still wasn't functioning properly, as after sending No-Life away, it took some other objects, certain hovercycles, from the nearby area, and crashed them in the lab, flooding some of the gang members. Joseph explained that to Pankid, who then ordered everyone to start the cleaning. 
It lasted for a whole another day and during that time, Joseph mainly focused on tweaking the machine, so it would truly be ready, which it eventually was. Everyone present in the mansion gathered and they teleported to Nisipoulis to help their friends.
They arrived in a key moment of the battle with the Scarlet Griffin enhanced Blue Screen of Death. The main four instantly approached the incomers to greet them and catch up. As some of them weren't that trained in fights, Spy gave a speech, which truly motivated everyone and not much later, they were all running towards BSoD's army. Joseph stopped at one point and with Pankid, Blank Tank and Charles by his side, they focused their fire on some of the Gun henchmen, as well as the scarlet constructs, while being passed by the main four. 
Sometime later, he witnessed the disappearance of the constructs, thanks to the defeat of BSoD by the main four and their own scarlet titan. At the end, he was present on the victory party back in Phil's Mansion, talking with Mad, Hans and Arthur.
=== The disbandment of Spyman's Cosmos ===
After BSoD stopped to conduct his evil plans due to being constantly destroyed, BSoD's Gang disappeared from the radar and with no dangers to be fought, Spyman's Cosmos had no reason to meet together, so they all departed in their own ways. During that time, Joseph likely just focused on doing science.
=== The Thunder ===
After the Cosmos had reunited in 2020, Joseph was in Dr Saturn's Mansion, when a huge thunderstorm broke in Finledge. At one point, the main four stopped there after their trip to hide from the weather, thus most of the gang was present. Eventually, it was announced that the storm was the biggest one in centuries, which led to Joseph, Saturn and Alice gathering to discuss the situation. After watching the news, Saturn and Alice assumed that it had to be magical, which Joseph was reluctant of. However, he didn't hesitate to research the topic. He then told Alice to keep up with the news, while he and Saturn would focus on the science part.
The following day, he and Sat were working in the lab and were visited by Alice. They told her about the formula they developed that would help them to determine when Hangajokul would be in the roughest zone of the storm. Joseph then asked about the news and the female scientist informed that their region was in the yellow area. Joseph said that things would only get worse from that point on and the three decided to gather their friends to tell them the news. Obviously, they weren't happy either. Additionally, Joseph said that they classified the storm as L-98-SGS-2 and nicknamed it "Fari", after a fallen Celtic deity of thunder.
Much later, he was in the lab with Sat again, when they were visited by Spy, who told them that their enemies were inside the mansion, which spread around the house very quickly. In the evening, Joseph was alone in the laboratory and was approached by Phil this time. He asked about who Fari was and Joseph told him what he had already found out. Phil wished him success nonetheless and then went upstairs to go to sleep. The next day, Joseph continued researching facts on the actual God, which drove him insane. When Spy came down to say that Arthur had visited them to tell some stories, Joseph passed, until he heard that he would talk about his memories of the ancient Finledge. Upon hearing that, Joseph rushed upstairs to meet the tank and was very pleased when Arthur revealed that Fari was sealed in a stone by ancient druids and that he would only return had the stone been touched.
After the story, Joseph and Dr Saturn met up to discuss. The latter revealed that he got a call from Coldmoor Paranormal Agency, who detected an explosion of mystical energy in Norway, where Fari's stone was supposedly located. Joseph deduced that the deity was coming back to Finledge to get his revenge for being sealed, although he still wasn't quite sure if he was real. However, Saturn said that the organization was professional and the situation had to be investigated further, which the truck scientist agreed on. Him, Saturn and Alice were then working until very late in the evening, when he and Sat got tired and told Alice to keep an eye on the weather map before going to sleep.
Over the night, Hangajokul entered the orange zone and as the mansion was starting to get flooded, another meeting took place on the next day. Before the meeting, Joseph was approached by Blank Tank and Rex, who had discovered something unusual while digging under the mansion. They went to see the place, which turned out to be an ancient meeting point for druids. However, it couldn't be explored further, as the cave got flooded. After telling that to the Cosmos , he doubted they would be able to go back down there, when he was touched by Charles, who gave him some of his plasma. 
Saturn said that thanks to that, he would be able to breathe underwater. In that case, an expedition team, consisting of him, Dr Saturn, Alice, Arthur and Phil, was formed. After the others also received Charles plasma, they went down the hole in the garage. Joseph showed an ancient slab with runes and Arthur mentioned that he recognized the language, so the truck insanely ordered him to translate it. It turned out that they needed druids to seal Fari back, which instantly made Joseph negative about their odds. However, Saturn pointed out that Arthur was already one of them and that he had idea how to get more. After getting back to the surface, he said that he would call CPA, who were in touch with a group of modern-day druids.
Much later, Joseph was approached by Phil, who was doubting if there was any way for them to survive. Joseph said that Saturn had contacted CPA, but unfortunately, the modern druids weren't familiar with the ancient magic and that they needed at least one more ancient druid to teach them that magic. Suddenly, Saturn came in, randomly throwing that only a time machine could help them, which gave the two scientist the idea to actually try it. Although none of them had ever worked with a time machine, Saturn knew a person that had. The two and Alice then approached Dr Rex, who studied time physics in the Evil Academy. At first, Saturn's evil brother was quite reluctant, but they eventually managed to convince him.
Rex took the lead while they were working on their creation, which stressed everyone, as he was getting angry at everything and being vulgar as usual. Eventually, the time machine was completed before the morning. When Spy came down to call them for breakfast, the scientist proudly presented the invention. Joseph said that the machine was set to travel to Vaelroth, 35 BC and that Saturn and Arthur would be the two people to time travel there. Following that, the two departed, as Hangajokul entered the red area. While they were gone, Joseph and a few others moved the time machine to the top floor, as the water level was horrendously rising.
When the two returned with an ancient druid master, Firlainn, Joseph welcomed them alongside PCus and Mad. They then heard Droppy, who was standing by the window, telling them to look at the sky. Everyone then witnessed the arrival of Fari, which greatly terrified Firlainn. In order to defeat the deity, Mad assembled the teleporter, which transported the main four, as well as Firlainn and Arthur, to Stonehenge, to conduct the sealing with the modern druids. Meanwhile, Joseph and the others went up on the rooftop, as even the highest floor got flooded. They watched Fari flying above them, putting them in a life-threatening situation. However, he was eventually hit by a magic ray and transported back to Norway, which was observed by Joseph and a few others. After the storm ended, Joseph likely left Saturn's Mansion.
=== Core Inbound ===
Two months later, Joseph was back at Saturn's place, working with Alice and Mad, as they noticed a huge driller landing on Earth. Upon contacting Dr Amberess Alford, they came to the conclusion that it's attempting to get to the planet's core, hence they called the main four, who were meeting with Mangle and PCus at the time. They were informed about the situation and told to just destroy the drill at all costs, while the scientists would continue their research with the help of Mangle and PCus. The two agreed, while the main four departed. Unfortunately for them, the battle was lost, as the owner of the driller turned out to be very powerful.
Alice told the four that fortunately, Dr Amber had a backup plan and that they had discovered that the entity they fought was called Vitreous. Joseph, Mad, Mangle and PCus then entered the lab, saying that they were to be thanked for all of that. They all then went to Amber's Operation building, to help in developing the second plan, which turned out to be a mecha constructed by Amber's assistant, Gregor. The main four were the ones to help him in finishing the build, while the scientists continued their research, with Joseph and Mad working side by side. The four and Gregor were eventually done and left for the battle, which this time, with the help of their other friends, was victorious for them.
Joseph watched the broadcast of their victory on Pink Screen, alongside Alice, Mad and PCus. Despite the win, Mad pointed out that something about the sky didn't feel right. Alice said that Amber could possibly know about this and not long after that, she and Mangle came back after the latter called her after discovering something new. The new information was devastating and once the main four returned, the research team revealed that they found out what Vitreous wanted from the core and that they would all be doomed, had he found it.
They proceeded to tell them about Vitreous and his lifelong search of the ultimate weapon imprisoned in the core, which was a powerful entity called Diagon, able to create and destroy. They even mentioned that one simple screech from Diagon would be enough to tear the Earth apart and that if Vitreous would take control of him, it would be almost impossible to stop it. Hearing all that, OkiWan denied everything, but Arthur and Reynard, as well as Blank Tank and Rex, who arrived prior to the exposition, reassured him that it was all real. Oki then blamed Joseph's brother and his friend that they had been collaborating with the alien due to their constant expeditions to the core. 
Joseph tried to calm him down, but to no avail, as General Stefanson, who came with the boys, also revealed that on top of that, the destruction of the driller caused a massive purple cloud to begin covering the Earth, which could eventually kill all life. The truck mentioned that at that point it was only a race whether they would be killed by Vit or the cloud first. Alice said that the only solution they had was likely Diagon, but they had no way of getting him under their control. Everyone then noticed Oki's disappearance and while most of the gang and their allies went to find and cheer him up, Joseph likely began to search for a way to get rid of the clouds.
While the scientists continued the work at Amber's Lab, the main four went back to OkiWan's House, but were eventually called back to the facility. Alice and Amber showed them a counter-driller, which would get them to the core. Next, Joseph and Mad told them that they were looking for a way to stop the cloud, as it seemed unlikely that they would use Diagon. Mangle and PCus also said that Rex and Blank Tank would go to the core too to guard it. The sudden quakes caused by the two trying to dig a hole in the lab instantly frightened all of them. Later, Joseph and the research team were watching the broadcast of the four's departure and witnessed OkiWan's shocking reveal of his huge crush on Mangle, which unsurprisingly shocked everyone.
To be added
=== Cloak of Murk ===
Around a month after the war with Vitreous, Joseph was present in Dr Saturn's Mansion. He was talking to its owner, Alice and Charles, when they were interrupted by an unexpected visitor, who turned out to be Dr Rex. He revealed that he had left BSoD's Gang and after some talking, the main four agreed to help him in stopping his former allies once and for all. However, Joseph wasn't present on that adventure.
== Personality ==
Joseph has a diploma in everything, including metaphysics, biology, mathematics, English and many more. He finds almost nothing amusing. Despite being focused on science, Joseph is quite friendly and caring, as he helped Mangle and PCus in solving their argument. He's good friends with Dr Saturn, Alice and Mad, with whom he often works at the same lab.
