The Ace

The Ace is Workin' Stiff 's alter-ego in the Hero Squad. He is one of the only characters to have an alter-ego in the Hero Squad. The others are Timmy Burch and Jimmy Valmer. He is a parody of Joker from the 2016 video game, Persona 5.

Creation
"The Ace" is a version of Workin' Stiff that wears a mask, this mask, being Joker's mask from Persona 5. The reason why this is, is because the creator of the show, John Tvs, is a big fan of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a crossover fighting game made by Nintendo in 2018. The game has Joker as a playable character, which John Tvs likes using a lot due to being "OP". This is also to honor the character and to make a joke that only fans of Persona or Super Smash Bros. Ultimate will understand.

Role in Workin' Stiff and Friends
In Workin' Stiff and Friends, he appears only once, not sometimes like Workin' Lazy 's green lightaber from the episode "Lightsabin' It". His first appearance is in the episode "The Toronto Raptors Special". In it, he puts on the mask and says: "'I am now The Ace! Assume the position!'"In the episode, his main ability is to summon his persona, Timer, to fight off SpaceGodzilla, a monster that disguises as Barney The Dinosaur. At the end of the episode, Joker asks Workin' Stiff to give back his mask, suggesting that Workin' Stiff stole the mask.
