Category:Characters by Power Source

Characters with supernatural abilities, separated by their corresponding power source.

Throughout the series, many characters demonstrate several types of supernatural abilities.

• In Phantom Blood and Battle Tendency, and briefly in Stardust Crusaders, the protagonists use the Ripple, an energy produced through breathing which is comparable to the energy of the Sun. It is mainly used to combat Pillar Men, Vampires and Zombies.
• From Stardust Crusaders onward, most of the cast wields Stands, spirits born out of their user's willpower that grant them specific supernatural abilities.
• Steel Ball Run's protagonists use a supernatural phenomenon called the Spin, which consists in producing and releasing energy via rotating objects.
• Several characters have unique powers that cannot be classified. These are put under the Others/Strange Powers category.

Races

• Humans constitute most of the cast, and only a scant few of them have supernatural powers.
• Vampires and Zombies are undead humans granted supernaturally strong bodies who die when when exposed to sunlight.
• The Pillar Men are a lost race of mighty human-like horned creatures, with the only survivors possessing physical abilities beyond compare.
• Under special circumstances, the spirit of a deceased person can linger in the world of the living instead of moving to the afterworld, becoming a Ghost.
• The Rock Humans are a race of human-like creatures who periodically turn to stone.
