Charles the Third emerges as an initial antagonist aligned with the organization Jadow. This humanoid bat, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, resides within a haunted temple, habitually napping inside a coffin until disturbed. He acts as a key agent for Jadow, radiating arrogance and a snobbish demeanor. During early confrontations, he boasts of Jadow's perceived victory after Captain Blue's defeat and nearly divulges critical secrets about an impending "ritual of sacrifice" intended to invade the real world before halting himself. This encounter positions him as the protagonist's first significant adversary. In combat, he employs flight, hurls red boomerang-like projectiles, executes spinning drill-like charges, and slams into ceilings to dislodge stalactites onto foes. Following Jadow's defeat, he shifts allegiance to the antagonistic alien group Gedow, joining former associates Sprocket, Hulk Davidson, and Gran Bruce. This group seeks to corrupt movies by altering their endings, radiating darkness. Throughout this phase, his narrative arc shows no significant development or redemption. His personality remains consistently overconfident and dismissive, frequently underestimating opponents. This trait leads to tactical errors in battle, such as hovering too closely over dislodged stalactites, creating vulnerabilities. In non-canonical spin-offs like *Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble*, he features alternate costumes, including one resembling DC Comics' Batman.
