Lovers (ラバーズ(恋人), Rabāzu) est le Stand de Steely Dan figurant dans Stardust Crusaders. Lovers est un minuscule Stand humanoïde l'allure d'insecte. Il peut s'infiltrer dans le cerveau d'une victime et manipuler les récepteurs de la douleurs afin que la victime ressente à une plus grande magnitude la douleur de Steely Dan.
Au contraire de la plupart des Stands, Lovers a une taille microscopique, et des ailes, ce qui lui permet de voler dans l'oreille d'une cible et d'infiltrer leur cerveau sans se faire remarquer. Il ressemble à un humanoïde robotique avec une tête insectoïde, et ayant des pinces à la place des mains.
Sa tête qui est plutôt massive est plutôt ronde, et a des gros yeux ronds insérés dans le crâne. Il a de petites tentacules sur la bouche, ressemblant à des rostres d'insectes.
Son design serait un mélange de mouche, puce et le robot du film de science-fiction Short Circuit.[1]
Il représente la carte de l'Amoureux du tarot divinatoire, ce qui symbolise la formation d'un lien entre deux personnes.
Lovers est rouge avec des yeux bleus dans le manga couleur. Dans l'anime, il est brun avec les yeux rouges.
Although it obeys Steely Dan's command without question, Lovers also displays its own personality. It has a sly and sneaky temperament and taunts its opponent in combat. Although it recognizes its weakness, it also considers itself terrifying because it has mastered its own strengths and is confident that it can beat both Silver Chariot and Hierophant Green.[2] When pushed into a corner, it will flee.[3]
By Steely Dan's own words, Lovers is very weak, unable to even lift a single strand of hair.[4] Because of its microscopic size, Lovers is by itself very vulnerable. However, its ability to infiltrate the brain makes it nonetheless a formidable and elusive Stand that is very difficult to reach and its reach of hundreds of kilometers makes escape impossible.[4]
Lovers' primary ability is to enter the brain of its victim, more precisely the brain stem,[5] and manipulate their pain receptors.[6] When Steely Dan feels any physical stimuli, be it the pain from a punch,[6] or even the sensation of cracking his fingers,[4] Lovers will go berserk inside the brain and return the pain several folds to its victim, causing them to be in agony. It can even cause phantom pain in absent limbs.[4] It is used to take Joseph Joestar hostage.
Lovers can take brain cells and turn them into mash for various uses. First, it can disguise itself as another Stand using the mash to cover itself[5] but can also create a myriad of dummies that aren't the real Stand but can still harm a Stand that has been shrunk to its size.[5]
Although not inherent to itself, Lovers uses DIO's spores to kill its victims. Thanks to its size, it can carry an individual spore inside someone's brain[4] and then feed it with brain cells in order to make it grow and eventually destroy the brain like it did with Enya's.[7]
