Hanged Man

"I exist only within a mirror and your Silver Chariot is incapable of entering a mirror. That's why..."

- Hanged Man, Chapter 143

Hanged Man (ハングドマン（吊られた男）) is the Stand of J. Geil featured in the third part of the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series, Stardust Crusaders. Hanged Man is a humanoid Stand with the appearance of a bandaged ghoul. It has the ability to attack its targets from reflective surfaces.

Appearance
Hanged Man's design reflects that of a mummy with mechanical elements, making it seem less human. Its body is covered in bandages, with half its brain exposed, along with having two right hands as its master does.

It has the ability to produce blades from its wrists to attack. It usually crawls along the ground in reflections instead of typical walking. It has no personality outside of serving its master. It represents the tarot card which symbolizes different perspectives.

Its true nature is that of a light-based Stand that can only persist inside reflective surfaces but is able to jump from mirror to mirror, giving the illusion that it lives inside them.

Hanged Man is portrayed as having the color and texture of a rock, going from grey in the colored manga to brown in the anime and subsequent video games.

Abilities
Because it attacks from inside mirrors, Hanged Man is a terrifyingly evasive Stand almost impossible to defend oneself against.

However, once its secret is unveiled, Hanged Man's predictability can be easily exploited.

Trivia

 * When Polnareff tells how his sister Sherry died, he mentions that J. Geil appeared covered in some sort of protective field. Said field prevented the water from hitting him, making the Stand user completely dry even when directly under the rain. This ability is never mentioned again, leaving it unknown if that was another ability from Hanged Man or not.
 * In the anime, J. Geil is briefly seen using this ability, shortly before Hol Horse and Polnareff meet.
 * It is possible that Hanged Man is inspired by the 1986 episode of Amazing Stories "Mirror, Mirror". In the episode, the protagonist is chased by a phantom that can only be seen in reflective surfaces, ultimately being caught by seeing the creature through someone's eye.
