Intelligence: Gifted (Throughout his adventures, Joe has proved himself to be a quick learner, getting the hang of utilizing Black Ghost's state-of-the-art aircraft with only minimal instruction from the more experienced Cyborg 002 and Cyborg 008 within minutes of launch. His clashes with Black Ghost have made Joe a skilled hand-to-hand combatant despite his lack of formal training, allowing him to easily demolish most robots in close quarters in tandem with his speed, as well as defeat Skull.

Weaknesses: Joe can't hear anything in Acceleration Mode due to being exponentially faster than sound. Joe's morality often holds him back from going all out, as he cares about all life, even his enemies.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Acceleration Mode: By hitting a switch on his back molar tooth with his tongue, Joe can enter "Acceleration Mode", becoming exponentially faster than normal. As a result, everything else in his vicinity seems to freeze in place as he accelerates, allowing him to easily walk around attacks as fast as lightning bolts or laser beams. However, due to moving so quickly, Joe cannot hear anything other than his thoughts unless someone uses telepathy. In addition, the sheer amount of air friction he creates causes flammable objects to ignite and turn to ash nearly instantly on touch, and even iron rods become red hot to the touch. It was once claimed that in Acceleration Mode, Joe could rip the flesh off a human's bones.
