Joe Swanson is a major character from Family Guy.
Bio[edit | edit source]
One of Peter Griffin's neighbors and best friends, Joe used to be a damn good cop, but got stuck in a wheelchair when a busted undercover mission got his legs full of lead. Which didn't exactly stop Swanson from still being a damn good cop. Or the best player of the local baseball team. Or casually pulling off anything a paraplegic shouldn't reasonably or physically be able to pull off - to great comedic effect.
For all his astonishing ability over disability, Swanson does not take kindly to moments where he actually gets defeated in a competition, or those where he finds himself unable to do something. Which can be as little as finishing a meal in a restaurant. Both can easily send him into a flight of homicidal rage, and isn't helped by the fact that the supposed token disabled guy excels at disabling other people.
In 8chanmania[edit | edit source]
Joe Swanson, cheered on by Peter, appeared in 8chanmania XCIII. He already was fuming when he realized the organizer had set up a wheelchair ramp to the actual ring for him.
Joe became even more offended when his first opponent, Hol Horse, announced his victory already was assured. Granted, Hol only said that because it was in the magic comic book of his manager Boingo could sort of predict the future, but Swanson took it all wrong. Hol summoning his revolver-like stand The Emperor to do his pre-battle JoJo pose proved the last nail the coffin; as it convinced Swanson he was in an active shooter scenario.
Despite of this very promising start, Swanson got kicked out of the best of sixteen when Sweet-P pulled him into a suplex that destroyed even more of his vertebrae.
