C-MOON
C-Moon (
C-Moon is the evolved form of Whitesnake and the predecessor of Made in Heaven. It possesses the ability to manipulate gravity by altering the direction of the gravitational pull around it. It can also turn things inside-out by reversing the gravitational pull on anything it attacks.
Appearance
C-Moon is a humanoid Stand with a threatening, inhuman appearance bearing resemblance to Darth Maul from the Star Wars franchise.[1] It is born as a result of the Green Baby fusing with Pucci and his original Stand, Whitesnake. Due to this, its appearance shares similarities with both.
C-Moon's facial features are distinctly skeletal, bearing a dark region separating its lower jaw from the rest of its face, a vacant nasal cavity, and bulbous LED-like eyes roughly the size and shape of orbital sockets. It shares many notable features of its component beings; from the Green Baby, it takes its exaggerated eyelashes and vein embellishment running across the forehead to its right eye. From Whitesnake comes its pale complexion with a striped Guanine/Δdenine/Cytosine/Thymine pattern on its hips, chest, and exposed scalp. (the delta sign that replaces the "A" may indicate a "missing genome"). The unmarked stripes on its body are now filled in with a dark shade as opposed to Whitesnake's uniform light coloration. Additionally, C-Moon's head resembles a "streamlined" version of Whitesnake's crown, with a group of four wide flaps standing in place of the original Stand's points. Its head, shoulders, arms, legs, and shoes bear short, arrow-shaped (↑) vestiges of varying size. The back and sides of its headpiece, along with its similarly arrow-shaped belt, are covered with a layer of matted fur.
C-Moon's overall physique largely takes after that of Whitesnake, with the notable exception of its abnormally thin waist, further contributing to the Stand's skeletal image. Despite this, it possesses pronounced abdominal musculature.
Color Schemes
Personality
Due to its nature as an automatic Stand, C-Moon requires direct instructions from Pucci in order to act meaningfully.[2] C-Moon talks briefly and plainly when asserting its instructions.[3] However it doesn't seem to be remarkably intelligent, as it's precision and seemingly competent fighting intuition are attributed to Pucci watching it from a safe distance.[4]
C-Moon vocalizes USHAAAAAA! (ウシャアアアアアア) or SHAA! (シャア) occasionally when it throws a punch.[5][6]
Abilities
C-Moon is an extremely powerful and dangerous Stand. Although it doesn't have great physical power on its own, perhaps even none (having ∅/Null Destructive Power), its power over gravity greatly impedes its enemies and guarantees that any of its strikes can prove fatal. It possesses the agility, speed, and strength to fight toe-to-toe with powerful close-range Stands like Stone Free.[7][8]
C-Moon is remote-controlled, and thus can be manipulated from a certain distance by Pucci. The closer Pucci is, the better his control, but he must expose himself to do so.[9]
Gravity Shift
C-Moon makes Enrico Pucci the center of a reverse gravitational phenomenon.
Within a radius of 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) around Pucci, the gravity shifts so that people and objects are repelled from him. Thus, any unfixed object will fall away from Pucci as if the Earth was a giant cliff[10] but then return to normal once they fall sufficiently away.[11] Likewise, anyone positioned above Pucci will fall upward towards space.[12] C-Moon itself is unaffected and can freely move around its user.[10] By default, Pucci's gravity always makes him attracted to the surface below his feet, allowing him to stand on any surface.[10] As an extension, he is able to levitate through space freely when in an object due to omni-directional gravitational force.[13]
Surface Inversion
C-Moon can also dramatically modify the gravitational force acting upon an object by touching it with its fists, which is expressed by that object turning inside-out.[7][10] Anything its fists even graze will be affected, down to individual hairs. If C-Moon touches the same object or area twice, the effects are reversed, enabling Jolyne to partially withstand its blows.[7]
This power grants C-Moon great destructive potential: a blow to the chest is usually fatal as the heart turns inside out, and blood flow is reversed, depriving the brain of oxygen.[12] Although C-Moon mainly uses this ability to deal fatal blows, it can use the turning inside out of objects to try trapping its opponents[7] or violently snap small objects like tiles to project them into enemies.[9] Pucci himself can partially turn himself inside out without harm to evade attacks.[14]
Jolyne Cujoh has developed a unique counter to C-Moon's power. Exploiting her ability to turn herself into strings, Jolyne can transform the parts of her body into Mobius strips; a Mobius strip is a three-dimensional object with only one surface, and is impossible to turn inside out, thus cancelling the harm C-Moon does to her.[15]
Time Acceleration
C-Moon appears to have an early version of the ability Pucci's future stand Made in Heaven possesses.
As opposed to accelerating time on a universal scale and not affecting living creatures, C-Moon's acceleration is extremely localized and affects any object, living or otherwise, that physically touch or come within extreme proximity to Pucci. Examples of this include rapidly growing a woman's fingernails, accelerating the growth of one half of a baby's body into an adult, and causing broken chicken's eggs to spontaneously grow premature living chicks.
This ability, due to being in the transitory stage between Whitesnake and C-Moon, appears to be out of Pucci's control, activating without warning or conscious activation by Pucci.

JORGE JOESTAR
C-Moon also appears in the novel 'JORGE JOESTAR', although it belongs to an incarnation of Enrico Pucci from the 37th universe. Later, Kars gets his own enhanced copy of the Stand, known as C-Moon Ultimate Requiem.
