Tomb of the Boom 1 2 3
Tomb of the Boom (トゥーム・オブ・ザ・ブーム, Tūmu Obu Za Būmu) is the shared Stand of the Boom Boom Family featured in Steel Ball Run.
Appearance
Tomb of the Boom is a fairly small Stand with a vaguely humanoid upper body. Each version of the Stand bears a largely different appearance from each other; In all three versions, it possesses an elongated face with a long tongue coming out of a small mouth, resembling that of a giant anteater.[1]
On TotB 2 and 3, the top half of the Stand's head is open, revealing an eye-shaped object inside it. Tomb of the Boom 1 instead has hood-like metallic bars over its head.
The shape of the lips of each Tomb of the Boom also differ: TotB 1 has thick, puckered lips; TotB 2 is the most anteater-like, with a perpetual smile on its face; TotB 3 has circular, multi-layered lips.
All versions of Tomb of the Boom possess long, sharp fingers, with TotB 3 having four on each hand rather than five. TotB 2's hands are striped.
TotB 2's lower body is a mass of human legs, with some disproportionately small, arranged in such a way that they resemble the legs of a crab; the amalgamation of many body parts may allude to the fact that it has several users, though the full bodies of the other two are never shown.
Abilities
Magnetism: The Boom Boom Family's Stand seems to have the power of magnetism. However, each member of the family uses his control over metal in a different way. The magnetism of the family is stronger when they are closer together, as well as when they are closer to their target.
