Magician's Red

Magician's Red (魔術師の赤 (Pronunced: マジシャンズレッド Majishanzu Reddo)) is the Stand of Mohammed Avdol featured in Part III: Stardust Crusaders.

Appearance/Personality
Magician's Red appears as a red humanoid figure with the head of a great eagle and fur-covered legs. Its abilities all involve the manipulation of fire. Mohammed Avdol was born with this stand and learned to control its power. It has never shown any personality and is based on the first card in the Major Arcana tarot deck, The Magician, which represents the beggining of something.

Abilities
Magician's Red is a fiery stand, meaning it manipulates fire. Even though its flames are different from mother nature's natural fire, It needs a open space to use its power to the fullest (just like ordinary fire, which needs oxygen to spread.


 * Flame Manipulation: This fiery stand can also be remotely controlled and generates intense flames capable of melting steel within moments. The fire is hot enough to have evaporated including but not limited to metal projectiles in mid-air and sliced through railroad tracks. It also has more nuanced uses, such as suffocating foes by placing flame in front of their mouth (Red Bind), or using floating balls of psychic flame which flicker in response to enemy presence.


 * Crossfire_Hurricane.jpgfire Hurricane (クロスファイヤーハリケーン): In its first serious battle (against Polnareff), Magician's Red fired a few salvos of the Crossfire Hurricane, a spectacular signature move that sends forth ankhs of flame in a great storm. This move was never seen again in the rest of the series. It has a variation, the Crossfire Hurricane Special, which splits the ankhs to cover a wider area.


 * Red Bind: Magician's Red can use his flame to tie his opponent, like a rope. With this Avdol ties Jotaro's arms and legs to the wall. He also ties his neck, the flame close to Jotaro's face making him suffocate.


 * Life Detector: Magician's Red can produce a "heat radar", a cruciform mass of flame that indicates the location of heat sources.

Trivia

 * The name of Magician's Red's attack, Crossfire Hurricane, comes from a line in the Rolling Stones' song "Jumpin' Jack Flash".
