Purple Haze Distortion

Purple Haze Distortion (パープル·ヘイズ·ディストーション) is the evolved form of the Stand of Pannacotta Fugo, and is featured in the light novel Purple Haze Feedback.

Appearance/Personality
Purple Haze Distortion has the exact same features as the original, save for the missing cloth around its waist and the spikes along its back. It's about 2 meters in length, covered entirely in a purple and white plaid. It wears a helmet with a translucent visor, and it's mouth is sewed shut. On each of it's fists, it has three hemispherical capsules that contain viruses. It appears frightful in appearance, but usually has a strangely nervous face at times due to its OCD.

Abilities

 * Feral Virus: When one of the capsules cracks on its fists, a lethal virus is released. This virus is can be transmitted via touch or airborne, but can be sterilized by light. (Several tens of seconds under an indoor light would neutralize it.)  Purple haze Distortion is able to shoot the bulbs on it's fists like a pressurized gun for increased range. Due to its evolution, the precision at which it can aim the virus has increased significantly. When the Virus enters into the body, the metabolic function of the body is destroyed from the inside out, causing it to melt, which in turn kills and completely eradicates the organism within seconds.


 * Distortion: Indicated by its name, Purple Haze Distortion has what is considered to be either a convenient increase in power and restoration or a serious impediment that seems contradictory to it being an "evolved" stand. Aside from its increased precision, the virus Purple haze Distortion emits has increased in power and now has the ability to eat other viruses.
 * The drawback is that since the virus now has the ability to eat other viruses, releasing all the viruses from each bulb has the possibility of them canceling each other out, as the viruses will "eat" each other. Not only that, but the virus will eat any other viruses, including airborne viruses and preexisting viruses in other beings. This allows Fugo to treat himself and allies of Viral infections, but at the same time, opponents may be able to counteract or "distort" the virus by using another virus or an organism that is already infected.

Trivia

 * In All-Star Battle, Fugo can unlock Purple Haze Distortion when going into resolve mode or after using his Great Heart Attack.
 * The differences between Purple Haze Distortion and its original form is that it loses the cloth wrapped around its waist, loses the spikes on its back and P.H.D.'s helmet & shoulders are black instead of blue, & while Purple Haze has red beady eyes, Purple Haze Distortion has blank eyes, similar to Gold Experience.
