==Appearance==
Doctor Wu is an ability-type Stand that only manifests itself within its user as a supernatural ability and thus has no real appearance of its own.
 
==Abilities==
Doctor Wu grants Tomoki a useful ability that makes him both elusive and dangerous, as the particles he turns into can bypass the defencedefense of his foes and are difficult to attack. On the other hand, this same granular state limits his ability to act and makes him vulnerable to new objects, such as being stuck.
 
=== Gravel Transformation ===
[[File:wugravel.png|thumb|Wu turning into particles]]
Doctor Wu allows Wu Tomoki to break apart his body into small independently controlled stones, then reconstruct himself. The particles themselves have no power besides floating around with the wind. In this form, Dr. Wu can invade someone's body and take control of their movements,<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 82}}, p20</ref> fusing with body parts such as bones, ligaments and tendons;<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 79}}, p27</ref> however, it seems the ability to parasitize someone is tied to a particular rock acting as a beacon for the rest of the gravel and paralyzing its victim at the same time.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 79}}, p26</ref>▼

His gravel form seems to induce an allergic reaction in those he attacks if inhaled, as he is essentially a foreign body. He can also add other substances to his gravel form, such as ground-up sleeping pills, which he uses to try to subdue [[Mitsuba Higashikata]] and [[Yasuho Hirose]].<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 80}}, p22p.22</ref><ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 80}}, p24p.24</ref>

If Wu manages to enter a person's body, he can take control of their movements, as well as control their Stand to some degree. An example of this would be taking control of Mitsuba's body, as well as her Stand ability, [[Awaking III Leaves]]. During his invasion of Mitsuba's body, Wu made Mitsuba send out several arrows from her Stand ability.<ref>{{Ch|JJL Chapter 82}}, p.20</ref>

==Trivia==
* The name of the Stand was first hinted at the [[Hirohiko Araki JoJo Exhibition: Ripples of Adventure]] where early design artwork of [[Wu Tomoki]] also identifies him by the name {{nihongo|'''Doctor Wu'''|ドクターウー|Dokutā Ū}}.<ref name="fashion">https://www.fashion-press.net/news/gallery/35840/725500</ref>
* Doctor Wu is the third Stand in the series to share a similar name to (or have the exact name as) its user, preceded by [[Foo Fighters (Stand)|Foo Fighters]] and [[Weather Report (Stand)|Weather Report]].
