Wheel of Fortune

This Stand does not walk on its own; it inhabits a car, and like the Stand Strength it stays plainly visible to anyone. Its look is never fixed, since ZZ can reshape whatever features the vehicle needs at the moment. Once a fight begins the automobile warps into a nightmare of itself, sprouting spikes and tubing from its shell, twisting its bumper into a fanged maw lined with mandible-like jaws, and swelling into oversized exhaust vents along the back. Colorized printings keep it mostly grey while the anime favors red trimmed in gleaming metal. Fittingly for its tarot namesake, it stands for upheaval and the unforeseen.

Everything the Stand does flows from its power to remodel the car it rides in. At its strongest that gift can lift even a battered wreck into a rugged, near-permanent four-wheel-drive brute. The vehicle mends its own damage, squeezes its frame into narrow gaps, cants its wheels sideways to run along walls, grows cleats on its tires to climb a cliff face, and peels apart its wiring to throw off dangerous sparks. Crucially, the shapeshifting tracks ZZ's nerve: the bolder and more vicious he grows, the more monstrous his ride becomes, and the instant he starts pleading for mercy the car slumps back to its plain form.

For ranged pressure it sprays its own fuel in a high-pressure burst that stings on impact but mainly soaks a target in gasoline, priming them to catch fire the moment ZZ strikes sparks off his cables. He can also seize the radios of nearby cars to speak through them.

ZZ is the only person to wield Wheel of Fortune. Araki modeled the car on late-1960s and 1970s American designs, notably a 1952 Hudson Hornet, and drew on killer-vehicle thrillers like Duel and Christine for its menace.
