Wheel of Fortune (運命の車輪(ホウィール・オブ・フォーチュン), Howīru Obu Fōchun) is the Stand of ZZ featured in Stardust Crusaders.

Appearance/Personality

Wheel of Fortune is bound to a car and, like Strength, is also visible to non-Stand users. Its original appearance is unknown. It represents the Tarot Card Wheel of Fortune.

Abilities

  • Transformation: ZZ changes the shape of the car equal to its size. It cannot become infinitely larger, but can improve damage parts and create harder armor and tougher wheels, and even adapt to the current terrain it was fighting on. It can even enable the car to do impossible feats, such as driving up 90-degree angle cliffs and effortlessly squeezing between crevices.
  • Gas: Wheel of Fortune can shoot its own gasoline at its opponents as a high pressure scatter shot that can damage the body, though its primary purpose is as fuel to burn the opponents.
  • Electrical Fire: Wheel of Fortune can also use the electricity from its battery to cause electrical discharges. It's usually used in combination with gas to set off a spark to burn its opponents.
  • Communication: Wheel of Fortune can converse with others through other cars' radios or its own.

Trivia

  • The concept for Wheel of Fortune was inspired by the cars featured in horror films, Duel and Christine with a design made to look like an US car from the 60's or the 70's.[1]
  • The car to appear in the music video for ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man" was another inspiration for Wheel of Fortune.
    • Incidentally, a car similar to Wheel of Fortune's disguised form can be seen in the artwork of ZZ Top's album "Concrete and Steel".
