* AmbiguousDisorder: There's something a little odd about Cid. He's very mature and intelligent for his age in some ways, while also susceptible to age-inappropriate tantrums and meltdowns [[spoiler:which, combined with his TK abilities, give him the ability to literally tear people he doesn't like to shreds]]. He also has a need for control over his environment, which suggests he may be somewhere on the autism spectrum.

* ItsAllAboutMe: His defining flaw. Joe is always focused on himself first and foremost, even selling out Seth just so he wouldn't have to part with half the silver he'd saved up. It takes the events of the film for him to grow out of it.
Added DiffLines:
* BaldHeadOfToughness: He has gone bald in his later years with flashbacks of his time in China even showing his gradually receding hairline. Nonetheless, he's still extremely tough and capable.
