Apparence
Wang Chan est un Chinois âgé, de petite taille et plutôt malingre. Ses cheveux sont hérissés et se dressent fermement vers le haut, avec la ligne de cheveux en forme de V. Il a de très longs sourcils, un petit grain de beauté sous l'œil droit et une moustache à la "Fu Manchu". Lorsqu'il devient un zombie, il obtient des crocs et une très longue langue.
Palettes
Personnalité
Déjà en tant qu'humain, Wang Chan était un criminel sans remord et cupide. Il a vendu son poison oriental à Dio simplement pour s'amuser sans se soucier de comment Dio allait l'utiliser.[1] Il semble être aussi sadique et sourit de satisfaction quand Dio poignarde George Joestar. Après l'incendie au Manoir Joestar il essaie de piller la propriété et de prende le Masque de Pierre pour le revendre.[2]
En devenant un zombie, cependant, Wang Chan se dévoue au service de Dio, qui est supérieur à lui en tout point puisqu'il est un vampire. Au début très calme, Wang Chan devient plus brutal et cruel à mesure que l'histoire avance et au final devient un être brutal et sanguinaire. Il va notamment attaquer imprudemment Jonathan, le sous-estimant malgré les avertissement de Dio que Jonathan était toujours dangereux. En effet, Wang Chan pensait qu'il avait été humilié et voulait se venger de Jonathan pour sa blessure.
Wang Chan est un diseur de bonne aventure, et avait exprimé une grande confiance dans ses prédictions. En effet, même en voyant Dio entouré par des policiers, Wang Chan était encore sûr qu'il s'échapperait.
Pouvoir et Compétences
As a human, Wang Chan was a fortune teller and an expert on oriental poisons. He successfully predicted that Dio would have great luck in his life, which proved to be true in his many near-death survivals.
After being zombified, he appears to have retained his personality, though he shows a more bloodthirsty side and selflessly serves Dio. In terms of physical ability, he can jump great distances much like one trained in martial arts. However, as one of the zombies shorter in stature, he usually takes to running away or hiding in self-defense, unless directly told by Dio to attack. After Dio loses his body, Wang Chan is also shown capable of fighting one-handed, whilst the other hand holds Dio's head. He also turns the head to fixate Dio's vision, allowing the vampire to use his Space Ripper Stingy Eyes.Claws: In battle, Wang Chan chooses to wear gloves with giant-sized claws. This way, he is able to increase his power and attack range. He is confident enough to kill a human by a simple swipe of his rigid claws, but is unsuccessful against Jonathan's Zoom Punch.[3]
Histoire
Background
Wang Chan was a shop owner operating in Ogre Street, the most dangerous part of London. When a young Dio Brando came to buy a slow acting poison from him to kill his father Dario Brando, he was unconcerned by Dio's evilness and even told him of a man in his own land who had a similar birthmark to Dio's. Said man had a harsh life, but in the end lived to be over 183 years old.[1]
Phantom Blood
Years later in 1880, Dio reuses the same slow poison to murder of George Joestar. However, Jonathan discovers Dio's schemes and, with the help of Robert E. O. Speedwagon, manages to find Wang Chan's shop. Wang Chan is arrested by the police and taken to the Joestar Mansion. As he witnesses Jonathan approaching Dio to cuff him, Wang Chan claims that Dio is far too lucky to fully have to give up this early. Dio uses George's blood to become a vampire but Wang Chan manages to flee during the chaos. Afterward, Wang Chan goes back to the mansion to steal the Stone Mask but a heavily injured Dio sucks his blood and turns him into a Zombie.[4] From that point on, Wang Chan serves as Dio's subordinate.
Wang Chan then takes care of Dio while he is recovering from his injuries, showing great loyalty to him. He is seen pushing Dio around in a wheelchair during their encounter with Jack the Ripper.[5] He attacks Jonathan during his training, but is defeated and escapes, informing Dio about the Ripple.[3] When the group of heroes reach Dio's mansion, Wang Chan remains hidden, being the only zombie to survive the battle. He finds Dio's head and guards it, lamenting that Dio didn't have another body.[6]
Dio trusts him enough to be responsible for his head and implanting it onto Jonathan's body. He manages to stow away on the ship Jonathan and Erina board and after being spotted by Jonathan, he retrieves Dio's head from a coffin. However, Jonathan uses the last of his strength to crush Wang Chan's head and sends a ripple throughout his body. The impact from the attack sends Wang Chan's headless body flying into the ship's machinery and disrupts it due to the ripple controlling his carcass, causing the ship full of zombies to explode.[7]
