Of Chinese descent, the Jade General has rather fair skin with a hint of a light tan, perhaps accumulated from the years of spending time outside in New York City's Chinatown. Though now residing in Westside's Chinatown, he doesn't seem to get out as much and the tan will inevitably fade particularly. Standing at five feet nine and weighing about one hundred and sixty pounds, he does not appear to be at all that imposing. One could say that his hair stands out the most as it is done in a rather neat, upright ponytail. The Jade General speaks with slightly accented English in that it is almost impossible for him to pronounce the "th" sound.
However, what is his most striking feature is definitely the transformation of his skin into something jade-like when the Jade General is out fighting crime. Perhaps the second most striking feature is the armor the Jade General dons when on duty. The Yu Armor, crafted from synthetic silicon carbide, has a rather brilliant sheen that rivals Jade's own jade-like skin.
