Hanged Man
Hanged Man (吊された男 (ハングドマン), (Tsurusareta Otoko) Hangudo Man) is the Stand of J. Geil featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders.
Appearance/Personality
Hanged Man appears almost as a combination between a mummy and a cyborg. Its body is covered in bandages, half its brain is exposed, and, like his master, has two right hands, which have the ability to produce knives from its wrist to attack. It usually crawls along the ground in reflections instead of walking. It has no personality outside of serving its master. Hol Horse comments Magician's Red could be dangerous to Hanged Man, hinting it may be weak to fire. It represents the Tarot Card The Hanged Man.
Ability
- Light Manifestation: Hanged Man is actually a stand that attacks via reflections. Like the American ghost story figure Bloody Mary, Hanged Man will not actually attack a person. Instead, it will appear in a reflective surface and attack a person's reflection. The person him or her self will then bear the results of the attack, seemingly from an invisible assailant. Hanged Man can move through any type of reflecting surface, including human eyes, at the speed of light. Its weakness is that he can only move between reflective in a linear pattern and is forced to move to the one in front of him if his current location is covered, leaving him vulnerable.
- Wrist Knives: His two right hands have the ability to produce knives from its writs to attack the enemy. These knifes are thinner than a razor blade, easily cutting open a chest or splitting a snake in two. The stand uses it to attack the opponent's reflection when inside a reflective surface, usually by stabbing him.
Trivia
- When Polnareff tells how his sister Sherry died, he mentions that J. Gail appeared covered in some sort of protective field. Said field prevented the water from hitting him, making the stand user completely dry even when directly under the rain. This ability is never mentioned again, leaving it unknown if that was another ability from Hanged Man or not.
Trivia
According to JOJOVELLER, its design is a mummy with mechanical elements to make it seem less human.
