Viewtiful Joe

Joe Black, also known as Viewtiful Joe, is the titular main protagonist from the Viewtiful Joe series.
== Charactah Account ==
Joe was an average person till he took Silvia to the movies. After Silvia is kidnapped, Joe is similarly taken into Movieland where the spirit of Captain Blue trains him to become Viewtiful Joe.
Joe enthusiastically embraces his role as a henshin hero, with all the hammy dialogue and posing that entails. For just the most obvious example, his transformation phrase is actually just the traditional "Henshin." He just likes to add to it because he's that enthusiastic about it.
Joe is a little on the short side compared to human characters like Captain Blue or Jet Black, and especially non-human characters, most of which are at least twice his size.
