Early Life
At some point, Joseph Carver became the CEO of McCulloch Technologies alongside his wife, Eva McCulloch that he would latter abandon in the Mirrorverse the day the particle accelerator explode.

Black Hole
At some point, he became the leader of Black Hole.

In 2020 when Central City Citizen reporter Iris West-Allen was working on a story that involve a "criminal organization" that works inside of McCulloch Tech, Joseph met Iris her source which was Gene Huskk an ex-employee unstable that believed in a larger conspiracy. Despite his effort to make Iris believe that she was wrong Iris still decided to publish the article and Joseph sued the Central City Citizen for "defamation" and denied his involvement with Black Hole. Later, Iris would met up with Joseph after he sent an assassin to kill her. Iris Blackmailed Joseph into calling off his assassin or a death-switch would cause half of the truth about his involvement about being Black Hole would be exposed. He then told the media that he was dropping the lawsuit.

Weeks later, Joseph would hire Sunshine to steal the prismatic refractor from Mercury Labs despite her effort she was captured.

Joe West
The next week, his assistant Maurice Bumblefeather informed Joseph that their source inside the precinct confirmed that Sunshine hasn't revealed anything about his involvement and Joseph hired Rag Doll to assassinate Joe West. Later, Joe West came to his place and managed to make Joseph unwillingly confess that he was the one that hired Rag Doll to assassinate him. When Joe revealed that he was recording his voice, Joseph used his EMP watch to emit a local pulse that destroyed the recording. After Joseph threatened Joe's family, he got punched by Joe causing his security to enter the room and Joe left the house. That night, when Maurice Bumblefeather informed him that Joe was placed under witness protection, he also informed him that someone brought him a present. He was surprised to see that Eva was the present through a mirror. After an argument about their vision for humanity, Joseph broke the glass and told Eva that he was untouchable.

Death
The following week, Joseph was talking with Maurice Bumblefeather at CC Jitters about the warehouse incident where all their dirt he had on the manipulated Meta-humans were destroyed. Joseph noticed Barry Allen who came to him. Joseph revealed that he knew that Iris was stuck inside the Mirrorverse due to a camera footage weeks ago. Barry told him that Eva was going after him and revealed that he was aware that the warehouse was purposely put on fire. Later, Joseph contacted Kimiyo Hoshi, Esperanza Garcia and Millie Rawlins to protect him at his house but when he arrived, he found evidence of a fight and he deduced that Eva took care of his assassins. Joseph would then go to the Precinct to tell Allen that he changed hi mind and wanted some federal protection. When they were about to get out, Chief Singh arrived and told him that he would escort him personally. After Singh had a talk to Barry, Nash teleported them back to S.T.A.R. Labs and told him that he saved his life. They revealed to Joseph that Eva had the ability to create Mirror duplicate to track him and Joseph asked how much would Well's gauntlet cost but go insulted. He then revealed that McCulloch Tech security could protect them and that he posses a biogenic ionization field that can protect them from anything that goes through. Later that night, at Joseph safe room, they evacuated McCulloch Tech and before they could do anything, the power shut down due to his former assassins betrayal. Joseph send Barry to activate the power backup and while he was watching the fight, Eva came trough the reflection of the TV. Eva then shattered the glass and used it to kill Joseph only for the Flash to take the hit. Eva eventually phase the glass through the Flash body and hit Joseph killing him. Sue Dearbon would later be framed for Joseph's murder.
