As kids, BlackJack was much larger than SpongeBob and often terrorized him while calling him a "little man." However, when he met SpongeBob again, he was only the size of SpongeBob's big toe. It is implied that he stopped growing when he was young, as evident by SpongeBob saying that he hasn't changed a bit. BlackJack has a very gruffly voice and is circle-shaped, compared to SpongeBob's square shape. He also has very muscular arms for his small size. On his arms are blue-colored anchor tattoos. He has shiny black hair and dresses up in biker-gang clothing in that he wears a white shirt, red wristbands, blue jeans with a belt buckle like SpongeBob's, and black cowboy-like boots.

*'''Assault/Child abuse:''' During SpongeBob's childhood, BlackJack would very often torment and inflict unwanted physical attacks upon the former to take advantage of his weakness. Since SpongeBob was a kid back then, this doubles as child abuse. When both of them become adults, BlackJack attempts to assault SpongeBob again during their reunion, but due to his size reduction and deteriorating strength, fails.
 
*'''Littering:''' It is mentioned by Mr. SquarePants that BlackJack was to prison for littering, but subsequently renounced his criminal ways and was released as a result.
 
*'''Threat:''' Despite changing his reputation following his prison release, BlackJack subsequently sends SpongeBob a threatening letter challenging him to a wrestling match against his will, which induces panic in the latter.
