This is more or less pure speculation on my part, but I thinkt hat it's an interesting idea nonetheless.

The villain of Part VIII isn't Damo. Part VIII looks like it's far from over, so it's way too soon for the main antagonist to have already appeared and started to fight the protagonists. Not to mention that every villain thus far has had a completely broken Stand that can alter time or space. And although Vitamin C's cool, it's essentially just a twist on Spice Girl's power, which is a pretty big step down from the likes MiH and D4C.

No, I think the villain is Jobin. He's already been shown to work with the Rock Humans, and making the villain one of the family is line with Jojolion's greater focus on mystery and plot twists.

Now I doubt I'm breaking any new ground here (Jobin is one of the most suspicious characters right now), but here's where it gets interesting: his Stand.

Up to this point, all we've seen Speed King do is increase the temperature of specific areas. This power is extremely situational and seems pretty useless. Which is why I think it is merely one effect of its true power, which also happens to be in its name.

I propose that Speed King can alter the speed of molecules within the area. That would allow it to speed them up to create heat, as it does in the beetle fight, but slow them down to create cold and perhaps even stop all molecules in the air to produce absolute zero, which would kill basically anything it comes into contact with. And, since this is Araki we're talking about, it could probably use its powers for insane stuff no one would ever think of doing.

To reiterate, this is just rampant speculation, and there could easily be something in the manga I missed that disproves this theory outright.
