Joshua is Jake's biological father.
Jake the Dog, a beloved character from the animated series Adventure Time, has a unique origin story. When the question of his "real dad" arises, it primarily refers to his biological parentage.
Joshua: Jake's Biological Father
Jake's primary and biological father is Joshua. He is known for being a seasoned adventurer and puzzle solver, who, along with his wife Margaret, raised Jake and his brother Jermaine. Joshua's adventurous spirit and problem-solving skills were significant influences on Jake's upbringing, despite his sometimes strict demeanor.
It is worth noting that while Joshua is Jake's biological father, Jake also has a peculiar origin involving an extra-dimensional being. The reference also mentions Warren Ampersand as a "biological/mechanical parent." This refers to the entity that bit Joshua's head, which led to Jake's conception in a unique, non-traditional manner. However, in the context of a "real dad," Joshua is consistently identified as the paternal figure who raised him.
