Joseph

Joseph Hisfriendfromschool is a main character in the SML series and was a homeless student at Y U DUMB? Elementary School who is best friends with Bowser Junior and Cody and the adopted son of Hank and Suzanne Huckerdoo. Joseph spends most of his days at Junior's house due to being close friends and because he used to be homeless.
Debuting as a random friend of Junior's in "Bowser Junior's Cellphone", Joseph, along with Cody, rose to prominence as major protagonists of the summer School series, and has been a main character ever since as one of Bowser Junior's best friends. Originally just a regular kid with a speech impediment and a great love and talent for sport, Joseph slowly started losing his mind after he was led to believe he murdered his own mother in her sleep, and up until his friends visited his house, refused to believe and mocked him. He usually spends his time with Junior and Cody, and it has become a running gag of his reminding Cody that his boyfriend, a Ken doll, isn't real, often yelling "Dude! He's a doll!" and "He's a doll dude!"
Joseph is a young red shelled Koopa Paratroopa, formerly a regular Koopa Troopa with a green shell (which in an alternate timeline became human along with his friends). Due to his wings, it is suggested that he became a turtle-bird hybrid, as he gained the ability to fly after he requested for a new shell with wings when he broke his shell. However, just because Joseph has wings doesn't mean that Joseph is part bird. He is best friends with Bowser Junior and Cody.
In a non-canon timeline, Joseph lives in a mansion with a private butler despite people thinking he was poor (he was only pretending to be poor). If the video revealing it was canon, Joseph would have been one of the richest characters in SML, along with Goodman and King Strongbottom. He also might be a homosexual in the human puppet universe given the one scene in "Cody's Accident!" where Cody gets a rope and tries to kill Joseph, but Joseph did not die, and Joseph liked where he got strangled by a rope by Cody.
==Personality==
Joseph can be described in many ways. He mostly masquerades his true personality and pretends to act friendly, but irritable and arrogant as he tried to appear cool. In "Joseph The Hero!" and "Joseph The Millionaire!", it's revealed in reality he is selfish, high-tempered, perfectionistic and even sadistic to his former butler Chives to the point of depression. It is even revealed that he only comes to Junior's house to mooch off of him. 
Like Junior, Joseph isn't really much of a smart person. He does, however, prove to have slightly more common sense than Junior and is a bit smarter than him. However, on some occasions, Junior seems more intelligent, for example, in "Joseph's Pet!", when his fish died, he thought that his fish was alive while Junior and Cody knew that his fish was dead. He also doesn't know how to take care of a fish, since he bought a small bowl, fed his fish sprinkles, and took water out.
He appears to be bisexual, for wanting to plow Bowser Junior and being attracted to Cody's stepsister. However, he died in the video in which he wanted to plow Junior, so it was most likely not canon. 
Despite considering Junior his best friend, Joseph is shown to be disloyal to him at times, due to others being cooler or having cooler possessions than Junior. In some episodes, Joseph said himself that he's only friends with Junior just so he could mooch off of him. In "Bowser Junior's 11th Birthday!", God said that since Junior was never born, Joseph died of starvation.
Joseph is a bully in some episodes such as in "Jeffy's Backpack!", he bullies Jeffy because he doesn't have a backpack (even though he doesn’t have one, either). In "Joseph's New Shell!", he insulted Junior, made fun of his shell, started using all of Junior’s things without asking and even got Bully Bill and Goomba to help beat Bowser Junior up. In "Joseph the Millionaire!", he yells at Chives for not doing what he asks and only changes his mind so he can have an excuse to yell at him, which made Joseph as one of the most hated characters in the show. He also enjoys torturing Cody, often laughing at him, insulting him, and beating him for no reason other than for his own sadistic pleasures. 
Joseph has been shown to be insane, due to him not being told about his mother winning the lottery and abandoning him (and having lied about killing his mom) and living with Screwball in a house without electricity or running water. He also has a tendency to want to bang any woman, regardless of age or relation, even if they die, much to Junior and Cody’s disgust. This makes him a perverted creep. He also has a foot fetish and is possibly a cannibal as shown several times in his appearances. 
Joseph appears to have intrusive thoughts, as he presumably hid a body at the beach in "Cody's Mistake!". He also appears to have voices, as shown in "The School Bus!", where he tells Junior about voices that tell him to kill everyone. 
He only managed to feed himself by stealing from his mother's purse whom she gave to Joseph after she won the lottery.
Despite his athletic abilities, Joseph is a coward as evidenced by his helplessness when Bowser beat up Junior at the end of "Bowser Junior's Big Spill!" and his running gag of "I'M OUTTA HERE DUDE!"
Joseph has one of the shortest tempers out of everyone in the SML universe, and this trait is shown in its spotlight in "Joseph The Millionaire!", where a common theme in the video is him flying into a hostile fury over the pettiest of reasons and even likes to torture his butler if he makes any "mistakes", meaning Joseph might be sadistic. He doesn’t even care that Chives was hurt and unconscious. 
Joseph is also very greedy and ungrateful, as shown in "Joseph The Hero!" After saving Richard Goodman's life, he repeatedly started guilt-tripping him on how he isn't appreciating him enough for saving him from a car, because he didn't give him enough things and money, but was eventually stopped by Bowser Junior.
Joseph is also a liar as he lied about being poor because he is actually very rich as he has a mansion and is a millionaire.
Since 2021, he has become more paranoid, idiotic, lazy and bad tempered, always assuming that people are racist jerks whenever he gets hurt in the slightest way or just uses his race as an excuse to get away with things and not help people, given he is black in human form. 
==History ==
=== Early Life ===
Joseph was born on October 7, 2008, by Koopa Troopa and Joseph's Mom. Koopa Troopa mentally abused his wife on a daily basis, and he often told his wife that he goes out to work while he was secretly working for Bowser and never took care of his son at some point his dad died and turned into a skeleton.
=== Summer School ===
He first appears in "Bowser Junior's Cellphone", and later appears in every episode of the Bowser Junior's Summer School series. After his appearances in the summer School series, he has become a recurring character in videos and eventually a main character in SML's videos, similar to Cody.
Joseph has been killed a few times but returned. He was killed by Black Yoshi in The Call of Duty Blackout, He was killed in Bowser Junior's Sleepover, this time by Chica, then killed by Cody in Cody The Magician! while doing a cut-in-half trick. Lastly, killed by the Hop Hop Bunny in Bowser Junior's 8th Birthday! He also owns a Charmander in the Pokemon series, which later evolved into a Charizard in Pokémon Part 6.
=== A New Shell ===
In Joseph's New Shell!, he attempted a skateboarding trick, but failed and broke his shell and traded his soul with Craig The Devil. He got a new red shell with wings, and red shoes to match. He now lives in a birdhouse because Bowser Junior was originally going to break his shell, but then he didn’t because Joseph didn’t have a home to live in. Prior to this episode, Joseph was a Koopa Troopa with a green shell.
==Relationships==
===Bowser Junior===
Bowser Junior and Joseph are pretty good friends (from school) and get along pretty well with each other. If somebody is cooler than Junior, Joseph is on their side rather than on Junior's.
Usually, in an argument with Cody, he sides with Junior and joins him in bullying Cody. Joseph gets along with Bowser Junior best out of all of the characters in the series. Nowadays, Joseph and Junior have both been reduced to being heartless people who no longer care about anyone and like to give everyone a hard time.
Status: Best Friends
===Cody===
Joseph thinks that Cody is weird and gay, because of him bringing his Ken doll with him everywhere he goes, he always has a running gag which he says "ITS A DOLL DUDE" , Whenever Junior and Cody have an argument, Joseph mostly sides with Junior. However, in The School Project!, he takes Cody's side when Cody broke Junior's toy. Even though Bowser Junior wanted to work with Joseph, he wanted to work with Cody. They do hang out a lot and have fun together but sometimes will be stupid with each other for no reason. But when Junior isn't around Joseph tends to act more chill with Cody. They're still considered friends, but Joseph still thinks of him as weird, 
Since 2020, Joseph seems to only hang out with Cody to bully him and give a hard time for everything, much like what Junior does. In "Cody's Bad Word!", he spends the whole episode assuming Cody is a racist because of a stupid misunderstanding and even starts acting racist towards him. He has also thrown dangerous, sharp objects at Cody for no reason, not caring about the damage he caused to his former friend. 
Status: Friends (enemies on some occasions) 
===Toad===
He gets along with Toad well, and they also like to play basketball together.
Status: Friends
===Chef Pee Pee===
Chef Pee Pee and Joseph are relatively neutral to each other. Although Chef Pee Pee is annoyed by having to make food for them, they get along. Chef Pee Pee and Joseph don't really care about each other. Chef Pee Pee did admit tho that Joseph is pretty cool.
Status: Neutral (Enemies on Chef Pee Pee's Side)
===Joseph's Mom===
Joseph's Mom abandoned Joseph after she won the lottery. Joseph was asleep so he assumed due to having a knife in his hand that he used to slit his mom's throat and killed her without knowing that she won the lottery and was alive. The supposed knife is still at Joseph's house, even after he found out she abandoned him.
However, in Joseph's Mom!, she has actually faked her death to abandon Joseph and live with a new family since she won $10M from a lottery ticket. She probably doesn't really care about Joseph that much, or like him at all since when she won the lottery, she abandoned him and never wanted to see him again.
It was later revealed that she didn’t abandon him and bought him a private mansion to live in with a butler. Joseph is also revealed to guilt trip her into giving him more money and even after she does something for him, he claims he hates her. 
Status: Friends (sometimes)
===Mr. Hisfriendfromschool===
Joseph's Dad is dead, making him a Dry Bones.
Status: Friends
===Mr. Bones===
Mr. Bones is Joseph's dead dog.
Status: Friends
===Black Yoshi===
Joseph hates Black Yoshi because he annoys him while playing Call of Duty. In Bowser Junior's Summer School 3, when Black Yoshi shows his Call Of Duty game for Show and Tell, Joseph asks him what he would do if he met CharleyBrown678 in person. Black Yoshi replies that he would kill him, foreshadowing The Call of Duty Blackout.
Status: Enemies
===Jeffy===
Joseph gets along with Jeffy mostly, as they have played together in the Game Night Series and Bowser Junior's Playtime 5. However, in some episodes they don't seem to be good friends, as Joseph's reaction to Jeffy's behavior when they first met suggests that he thinks Jeffy is weird. He also bullies Jeffy in Jeffy's Backpack as Jeffy does not have a backpack. Jeffy also calls Joseph a fuckhead in Jeffy's Energy Drink!
Status: Neutral
===Bully Bill===
Joseph and Bully Bill are friends because in Joseph's New Shell!, he befriended him to make himself look cool. It is unknown if they are still friends or if they stopped being friends as we only see that he doesn't go back to the playroom to tell him that they aren't friends.
Status: Friends (Unknown after Joseph's New Shell!)
=== Chives ===
In Joseph the Millionaire!, he is shown constantly berating Chives as he keeps punishing him for minor mistakes. For example, telling Chives about something he didn't want, with Chives replying how he literally just did.
Status: Enemies
==Powers and Abilities==
=== Powers ===
* Retroactive Immortality: Joseph, like most other characters, can come back to life in the next episode without becoming permanently dead. This a common trait that is a homage to McCormick from South Park, as many other characters seem to possess this trait, such as Doofy the Dragon.
===Former Powers===
*Flight: In the episode, Joseph's New Shell!, Joseph was granted with a new shell by Craig the Devil, due to his original school being shattered from a skateboard incident. With the shell's new wings, Joseph was able to maneuver himself through the air and fly at supersonic speeds. However, Joseph wasn't fast enough to save Heidi in time after the latter was accidentally dropped onto the ground. Although, Joseph was capable of flying others with himself without them suffering the negative effects of momentum (such as whiplash). Joseph lost this ability after he gained his original shell back in later videos.
**Enhanced Strength: Joseph was able to lift others with himself while flying at tremendous speeds. After turning into a bully, Joseph was physically strong enough to beat up Junior, albeit with the help of his new friends. After meeting Heidi, Joseph was able to lift her with him while flying through the air. However, Joseph wasn't strong enough to hold her for much longer, as he admitted to Junior that he accidentally dropped her while losing his grip.
**Enhanced Reflexes: Due to his incredible flight, Joseph's reflexes were significantly enhanced, as he was able to dodge Junior's punch in a second.
*Superhuman Speed: After being struck by lightning, Joseph was able to run and move faster than the blink of an eye. He first discovered this power after running to the bathroom and using the toilet in under a second. Joseph was fast enough to run from Florida to Mexico in a matter of seconds. He was quick enough to steal money out of a cash register from a gas station before any of the workers could notice him. However, after being electrocuted by Junior, Joseph lost his powers, although even without possessing his super speed, Joseph has still proven to be one of the fastest characters in the SML universe. 
**Superhuman Reflexes: Joseph was able to percieve the world at a much slower pace, allowing him to react to anything faster than a normal person.
