Hiding underneath Polnareff's shoe
Cream (クリーム, Kurīmu) is the Stand of Vanilla Ice, featured in Stardust Crusaders.
Cream appears as an exceptionally tall, skull-faced humanoid monster with a mask akin to an executioner's cowl. Other features include a heart motif on its head and shoulders and two protruding horns. When using its ability, Cream takes the form of a moving sphere of emptiness that cuts its way through any object and people it passes through. This second form is actually a void made by Cream eating itself and Vanilla Ice, like an Ouroboros.
Its design is based on common images of executioners and Death, notably the concept of medieval French executioners cutting the heads off of the condemned.[2]
Cream is a fairly powerful short-ranged Stand, able to perform feats such as decapitation with a mere chop to the neck[3]. However, its true power lies in its unique ability.
Void: Cream is able to become a portal to a void dimension, which Vanilla Ice mainly uses to disintegrate everything and hide. The real portal is situated in Cream's mouth so its modus operandi is to devour itself and its user to become a ball-shaped floating portal[4].
Become Cream functions as a portal that indiscriminately transports matter to another dimension, it has incredible offensive power because it can effectively disintegrate everything and cut clean through them. Only Vanilla Ice is shown to be unharmed inside the void dimension[5].
When Cream eats itself, it becomes a spherical, floating portal to the void. In this state, Cream is invulnerable, and almost undetectable since it is then in another dimension: Cream cannot be seen, nor heard, nor Iggy can smell it[5]. However, Polnareff managed to detect it by scattering sand inside a room and simply look at the trail the devouring sphere leaves[6]. The void sphere is shown to be rather fast, able to pursue a running Polnareff[5]. However, becoming a sphere has several drawbacks. Although it is invisible, Vanilla Ice is also blind to his surroundings and must regularly take a peek, leaving himself vulnerable[6].
Vanilla Ice can also undo Cream's self-devouring[7].
