Publisher's blurb: The Joke is a founding member of GUARD team Alpha. The Joke is a robotic being that was built by the Tech Queen at a young age. She built the robot from scratch and as a joke (hence its name). It was her plaything, bodyguard and hired muscle before accidentally becoming sentient, when the Tech Queens power blossomed as an early teenager. His vast combat programming and plasma manipulation make him an excellent combatant for the team.
