Perry is famous for being boisterous and loud, as well as being a fairly strict editor. He is known for shouting "great Caesar's ghost!" when angry, exasperated or surprised. Perry also dislikes being called "chief" (Jimmy Olsen being his main employee that calls him "chief"), usually causing Perry to shout "don't call me chief!"

Perry's other defining trait is a love of smoking cigars; in the 1990s Superman comics, this practice was mostly discontinued, thanks to a storyline in which Perry underwent treatment for lung cancer.
