Kars
Cars (sometimes written as Kars or Kaaz) is the major antagonist featured in Part II: Battle Tendency.
Personality
Cars is the leader of the Pillar Men. He is intelligent, ruthless, and single-minded in his dedication to obtaining the Red Stone of Asia.
Synopsis
Battle Tendency (1938-39)
Cars is introduced the leader of The Pillar Men, (getting attacked by Wham after stepping on his shadow).
He defeats Stroheim after Stroheim's cybernetic rebirth disguised as a Nazi. Cars outlasts his comrades and eventually does gain almost unlimited power as the ultimate "evolved" man through the Red Stone of Asia and a Stone Mask. In a final confrontation, he succeeds in severing Joseph's hand but is eventually blown into space by a volcanic eruption induced by his Ripple colliding with the Red Stone of Asia that Joseph instinctively held out.
Steel Ball Run
In Steel Ball Run, Magenta Magenta dies at the bottom of a river. As he hopes for Dio's rescue that would never come, he eventually stops thinking. Magenta Magenta's death in Steel Ball Run indicates he is the alternate universe counterpart to Cars.
Abilities
Bodily Manipulation: As with the other Pillar Men, Cars also has the same body manipulation capabilities shared by his companions. When he gains the power of the Red Stone, Cars' bodily manipulation abilities are enhanced to the genetic level, to the point where he is capable of reactive evolution. Cars was shown to be able to mutate parts of his body into various living creatures and control them.
Light Blades: Cars' power is that of light - he is able to produce bladed appendages from his arms and use these to reflect blinding light toward his enemies.
Hamon: In his ultimate form, Cars is shown using the Hamon. This Hamon is shown to be hundreds of times stronger than Joseph's Hamon, able to melt human flesh not long after impact. [2]
