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

Wheel of Fortune is bound to a car and, like Strength, is also visible to non-Stand users. When it enhances a car, the vehicle transforms into a monstrous version of itself. The car linked with Wheel of Fortune is covered in spikes, its hull taking the form a monster with a wide open maw an oversized exhaust ports[1]. Its appearance can change wildly because ZZ can change the features of the car to suit his purposes.

It represents the Tarot Card Wheel of Fortune.

Abilities

  • Transformation From Confidence: ZZ changes the shape of the car it is bound to and dramatically enhances its performance by transforming various parts of it to ZZ's advantage[1]. It can among others repair a wrecked car, make it squeeze inside a crevice, orientate its wheel horizontally to drive between walls, create spikes on the wheels to scale a cliff[2]. The shapeshifting is linked with ZZ's confidence: the more aggressive he is, and the more monstrous the car will be, but when he begs for his life, the car turns back to its pitiful true state[2].
  • Shooting 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. When its electric cables create a spark, it will set nearby opponents on fire[2].
  • Radio Communication: ZZ can hijack nearby cars' radios in order to converse with people[1].

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.[3]
