| ~ Giorno Giovanna talking about Notorious B.I.G. |
Background
Notorious B.I.G is the Stand of Carne, featured in Part 5 Vento Aureo.
In its brief appearance with its user alive, Notorious B.I.G seems humanoid. It wears a striped half-mask rising in a peak above its head and extending over its right eye. Its teeth are bared in a snarl, although it's unclear if this is a permanent expression or merely its reaction to Carne's injuries.
After reactivating itself following its user's death, Notorious B.I.G. begins developing a body of blobby flesh. Once large enough, it develops a crude form with two small limbs and a tail. It gains the eyes and mask of its previous form, along with armored bands on its body and shoulders and tiny, wheel-like "hands" at the ends of its arms.
Powers and Stats
Tier: Unknown
Dimensionality: 3-D
Powers and Abilities: Stand Physiology, Size Manipulation, Body Control, Durability Negation, Absorption (By consuming the flesh and stand energy from its victims Notorious B.I.G. can increase his size and become more powerful), Non-Physical Interaction (Could absorb Mista's Sex Pistols), Extrasensory Perception, Enhanced Senses, Immortality (Type 1, 2, 3, and 4. Has a "∞" listed for his permanence. Faded away after dying only to come back good as new), Regeneration (High-Mid, likely Mid-High. Regenerated himself seconds after being cut to pieces by Trish. Came back after seemingly fading away like smoke), Reactive Power Level & Homing Attack (Tracks and prioritizes the fastest thing in its proximity and matches the speed of it), Small to Large Size (Depending on how much energy it has absorbed it can be as small as a finger or big enough to cover a plane), Stealth Mastery, Possession (Possessed Giorno's arm without him realizing), Shapeshifting (Turned himself into a soccer ball), Flight
Attack Potency: Unknown, his ability naturally ignores durability
Speed: Varies up to Infinite (Notorious B.I.G. can match the speed of its target and become as fast as them. Has a "∞" for speed in his stand stats)
Lifting Strength: Unknown
Durability: Unknown
Stamina: Limitless
Range: Below Standard melee to Tens of meters and likely far further via Size Manipulation
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Animalistic to Average (Seems to have an animalistic intelligence only seeking out to destroy and absorb whatever it's in its vicinity, however, it was already that Notorious B.I.G. has some sort of intelligence as it's shown to write things he listens and even wrote a poem like text for its user, Carne)
Weaknesses: Will always prioritize the fastest thing around and completely ignore everything slower, he's blind and relies on his senses to move around
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
Absorption: Upon activation, Notorious B.I.G slowly infects anyone that has touched the remains of its user and eats away at flesh and energy in order to grow a body; this includes Stand energy and energy from automated objects like an engine. Through this ability, Notorious B.I.G can grow to a great volume with enough energy, eventually reaching a size comparable to a jet plane. More importantly, one speck of it can completely recover from near-destruction as long as it reaches a source of energy to feed on, making it nigh-impossible to defeat. Its ability to absorb Stand energy makes it immune to Stand attacks, enabling it to seek out Stands in order to feed on them.
Possession: In its initial growth phase, Notorious B.I.G. can influence its host's body, causing them to perform actions without being consciously aware of them. After infecting Giorno, it somehow made him take some of Carne's fingers and put them into a plane's freezer; later, it used a pen to write out Giorno's thoughts on the wall and window.
Speed Detection & Matching: While Notorious B.I.G is blind, it can detect movement around itself, driving it to automatically attack the fastest moving object within range. It is never explained what objects within its range it considers stationary, so it is open to interpretation. After detecting the object moving the fastest, it accelerates itself until it can latch onto its target; at one point, it becomes fast enough to catch up with a plane flying at 800kph. This trait makes Notorious B.I.G.'s behavior predictable if one is aware of it; the Stand can be distracted with various objects like the moving hand of a clock or a motorized seat as long as nothing is moving faster than it. This also secures its prison in the ocean; the constant motion of waves and currents confuses Notorious B.I.G. to the point where it can no longer attack anything besides the odd passing boat.
