Well yes obviously but the comics chose to have Superman say something like "Using my Super Weaving I'll make a dress." rather than "I'll use my Super Speed to weave a dress." so it's close enough for the analogy.

Great Wall of China Vision is better.

Especially if the stand can only repair the Great Wall of China, specifically.

Which of course would lead to an intense battle.

Actually, assuming the user could mold the wall into different shapes, then that would more or less make The Great Wall of China their Stand.

Now I'm imagining a Stand with that specific power and what wonders Araki could do with it.

Sacre vert! Maman!

Carry around a little piece of the Great Wall and rebuild it around someone, trapping them

Rebuild the same bit of Great Wall in the shape of weapons

Literally duplicate the Great Wall and have it fall on you

STAND NAME: 『Chinese Democracy』

Notorious B.I.G woulda taken out Passione if didn't have the means of dropping it into an ocean. Highway to Hell is honestly terrifying though and Survivor is a pretty awful Stand too, but if you really want to kill people and spread chaos....you got options

Don't forget Cheap Trick. Highway to Hell is scary yeah but you can only kill 1 person with it, and Survivor could be used without killing yourself. Notorious B.I.G. is a good stand but you have to be selfless enough to sacrifice yourself to use it.

WELLL ACTUALLY

You could easily inflict a non-fatal injury that leads to another's death indirectly.

Your target's hanging off a cliff? Break your wrists. Standing on a narrow lip/tightrope/whatever? Sprain an ankle. Does healing the injury after it's inflicted also heal the target? If not, slit your throat then get immediate treatment from a healing stand or whatever.

Blinding yourself/your target midway through a fight with someone else would also be a major handicap.

Basically it's yet another case of "would be absolutely lethal if the user didn't handicap it"; someone not suicidal could think of plenty of ways to weaponize it beyond just "kill myself and one other". And it would be drat near unstoppable as a support stand alongside another, more physical one.

I forget, can White Snake's stand discs give someone a second stand?

If so, combine Highway to Hell with King Crimson. Just skip through the moment where you actually die. :unsmigghh:

Yes. That's how Emporio defeated Pucci. You can be "rejected" by a stand though, like Jolyne was with Star Platinum.

I'd pay good money for an English version of the book Araki wrote about his favorite horror movies. I imagine it's like 300 pages of his book jacket musings.
