The World

The World is the Stand of DIO.

It is very similar to Jotaro Kujo's Star Platinum in that they are both close range powerful Stands with the ability to stop time. DIO is only able to stop time for several seconds, more than Star Platinum can, as DIO was trained in this ability for much longer. He originally awakened this Stand by being stabbed with the Bow and Arrow by Enya.

Physical Appearance
The World is a large humanoid Stand with bulging muscles. Its skin is gray and it appears to wear gold armor. On his head is a gold mask that slopes up at the top, and he wears oxygen tanks on his back.

Occasional Appearances
In Strength, The World briefly appears as a ghostly figure in the mirror next to DIO.

In Jail House Lock!, Part 1 The World is depicted in DIO's narration as being destroyed in the process of the Heaven plan.

Powers and Abilities
The World is a close range Stand with a range of about 2 meters.

It's power is the ability to stop time and move within time for several seconds, but it is also incredibly physically powerful, with strength on part with Star Platinum.
