Namesake: The Man-Machine (Kraftwerk album)

Appearance: Man-Machine’s has a lean, toned build, and its body is covered in allusions to Isaac Newton’s inventions and ideas, hinting to its power over gravity. Its entire body appears to have a highly saturated case-hardened pattern, representing Newton’s ideas on rainbows and the refraction of light. It is also liberally decorated with chrome spheres and hemispheres representing Newton’s cradle, with many of its joints replaced by them. It also has ticked lines spanning horizontally across its hips and vertically down its torso, with large stripes forming asymptotes across its body. It wears a silver crown on its head, with a large, roughly cut red stone on its forehead, representing the Philosopher’s Stone. Aside from the hints to its power, it wears metal greaves and boots, and has a facial structure similar to The Hand’s, with circular, headlight-style eyes and a mouth permanently locked in an emotionless expression. A silver line comes down from its crown and stops just before the mouth in the form of an arrow.

Abilities: Man-Machine has mediocre combat ability, considerably better than any human, but not as powerful as many other combat-oriented Stands. Its power over gravity is what makes it a truly terrifying Stand.

Gravity Tether: Man-Machine’s main ability is its Gravity Tether, which creates gravitational force between objects. He can only have one tether active at a time, but there is no limit to how many people can be attached to the tether. This power requires Man-Machine to be fairly close to activate it, but once activated, it is not dependent on range. Because it is gravity-based, what determines the power of the force is the weight of the object affected. More importantly, the weight difference between affected objects. If Koichi and Jotaro were to be affected, Koichi would be nearly unable to resist moving towards the latter, while Jotaro would only feel a slight inconvenience. Man-Machine can also use this ability on himself to bring things to him, or vice versa. It can also tether things to the earth itself, rendering them entirely immobile. This gravitational force continues to apply in stopped time.

Nice stand my dude. Really like it’s powers (which are ironically [or not] the opposite of Kraftwerk’s abilities. I can see a lot of utility to this stand, like it the user was falling out a building, he could use Man-Machine to tether himself to the wall, preventing his death.
