Joe is a devoted husband and father. He is very kindhearted and decent, contrasting his father's evil traits. The only things that Joe and his father have in common are that they are intelligent and ambitious, Joe having a desire to become President of the United States. However, despite his ambitions, he wants nothing to do with the evils of his father, so he makes efforts to distance himself from his father's evil schemes. He is also willing to help Sonic and their friends thwart his father's evil schemes. Joe speaks in a thick Boston accent, having originated from Boston like his siblings. He is free-spirited, honest, loyal to his friends and his country, and fun-loving, making him somewhat similar to Sonic. However, unlike Sonic, Joe is more serious, patient, and calm due to his job as a Congressman.
