Diavolo/Abilities and Powers

Personal
Transformation: Despite (likely) being human, Diavolo and Doppio share many minor abilities in changing their physical appearance. Doppio looks around 17 despite Diavolo chronologically being 33 and shorter than Buccellati, but while attacking that same man Diavolo appeared to be a head taller if not more as well as being muscular as former protagonists like Joseph - however, during the battle in Rome, Diavolo was roughly around Mista's height. As well, when Diavolo takes over, Doppio's freckles disappear and his voice deepens, and it may be possible that his hair can become longer or short than Doppio. According to Diavolo, it takes him roughly 10 seconds to completely take over Doppio's body, but the transformation back to Doppio is instant.

Various Other Benefits for Diavolo: While Doppio is in control, Diavolo has quite a few abilities border-lining omniscience. He was able to tell that the taxi driver didn't see the picture of Donatella Doppio was carrying despite his subordinate's beliefs and was later able to see the lurking Risotto. He is also attuned to souls while not in control, such as being able to tell the near dying Buccellati's state and being able to disguise Doppio as Trish. Diavolo also seems to be able to manipulate Doppio's memories, as Diavolo remembers everything and can see everything that happens to Doppio but not vice versa, although it's unknown how much of this is based off Doppio's possible poor memory.

The "Phones: Diavolo can communicate with Doppio through any kind of object while not in control, granting his subordinate the belief that his alter ego is another person all together. Although we haven't heard the quality of these "calls" yet and whether or not the objects alter the quality of Diavolo's voice, Doppio can always hear his alter ego's voice through the object.  Doppio also, on occasion, forgets that he's been able to communicate with Diavolo, but he consistently has never realized he's been using a broken or non-phone object.  These "phones" have ranged from ice cream to frogs, to cigarettes to toys, and of course Doppio always carries on him a broken or dismantled phone headset.

Stand
Diavolo's Stand is King Crimson, an extremely powerful being that can destroy most anything with a single punch and has the ability to skip time within a .5 to 10 second time frame.
