Limp Bizkit

Character

Limp Bizkit is the Stand of the prisoner Sports Maxx in Stone Ocean, a power that grants no visible form of its own. Instead it drags the dead back to life as unseen zombies, and because it keeps working after its user dies, Sports Maxx becomes more dangerous as a corpse than he ever was alive.

Overview

Limp Bizkit has no body to display. Its presence shows only through its effects, since anything it revives turns invisible, becoming visible again only when coated in some material that clings to its shape. The Stand's inspiration was drawn from the film Hollow Man.

What sets it apart is that Sports Maxx can keep directing it even in death, which makes his own corpse a lethal threat once he is killed and hard to guard against.

Mechanics

The Stand's power raises the dead as invisible wraiths. When Sports Maxx triggers it, every nearby corpse, his own included should he die, sprouts an unseen spirit that climbs free of the body and attacks on his command. It works on anything counted as dead no matter the species or how long ago it died, so taxidermied animals and freshly deceased inmates alike rose to assault the Joestar group, and it can even animate a stray body part such as DIO's Bone.

The revived corpses gain heightened strength, the ability to scale walls, and lasting invisibility, though they can be put down a second time by ordinary attacks. Whenever one of these zombies takes a hit, the wound registers on its original body instead. Sports Maxx describes the wraiths as tormented by a fierce hunger for blood and brains, which drives their relentless aggression.
