Immortan Joe Moore is a fictional character and the main antagonist of the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road; he is also a major character in Fury Road's companion comic series of the same name and its 2024 prequel Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. In the Mad Max franchise's radioactive, post-apocalyptic wasteland, Immortan Joe is the most powerful warlord; his army of fanatical "War Boys" reveres him as a god. He dominates the regional economy through his control over the Citadel, one of the only remaining sources of fresh water in the wasteland. His desire to breed a genetically healthy heir to his kingdom leads him to acquire and mistreat a harem of sex slaves. One of these slaves, Imperator Furiosa, becomes his trusted military lieutenant, but she turns against him in order to free Joe's remaining slaves from the Citadel, thus triggering the events of Fury Road.
