Q & A AMA - Joseph Kerr

[Patty]

With all this talk about being part of a legacy and all, what does Joe think would happen, or what would he imagine might happen to himself and/or VILE, if something happened to Carmen?

Joseph has always seen Carmen as being a lynchpin because her presence atop VILE keeps many greater threats at bay.

He foresees that her sudden removal will result in a bloody power struggle until VILE could once again exert its hold over these other threats again.

Joseph has always seen Patty as a likely candidate to succeed Carmen although recently Neb has made herself a contender to. Joseph sees himself serving an advisor role to whichever of the two ladies takes the throne when the day arrives.

what is joe's favorite food?

Pasta. Specifically Aglio Olio or Pesto.
Always reminds him of home and of the simple pleasures in life.

Pasta. Specifically Aglio Olio

My favourite pasta, frankly.

Joe used to have a sister in his previous backstory, was there a reason you decided to remove her and make Joe an orphan instead? I'm only curious, of course, you may always decline to answer.

(I felt that Joe's old backstory was too convoluted, and the sister thing didn't quite pan out like I'd hoped.
On reflection i decided that making Joe an orphan worked better with the personality and character that I'd had for him)

If you could prank anyone who would it be, and how?

Chase. It's practically required as part of my job.
Of course, we're currently at truce though...

If Joe's life had been different and he joined ACME instead of VILE, what would he be doing now and how would his views on Carmen Sandiego change?

(This was briefly explored in an ACME AU)

I think if Joe had joined ACME he would be one of the following:

A) a pretty good detective and also membwr of the famed 'Bunker Boys'

B) a former thief turned ACME informant/consultant and part-time trainer of new recruits

His views on Carmen wouldn't change though. He'd still hold an enormous amount of respect for her and enfage in friendly banter with her should they meet.
He'd still recognize her role and would be hesitant to actually arrest her.

His loyalties would however ultimately be with ACME.

Yes, but how?

 

[Joe Kerr]

Yes, but how?

I can't mention it here or Chase will be on guard and then I'll never be able to pull it off...

How has Joe's thoughts on Carmen and everyone in VILE changed since Ultramarine so far? Does he feel his leader is more vulnerable, and/or does he feel everyone is more vulnerable than he first thought?
