## Abilities

### New Gods

When touched by the Stand, living cells will begin transmutation similar to that of cancer cells, where its DNA is altered to constantly replicate. As a result, the cells become tumors, sometimes mutating to become more deadly and excess. Like regular tumors, they can begin taking control of the body's nutrients and functionalities to prioritize these new cell growth.

However, like regular cancer cells, how the cells divide or affect the body can depend on the victim's own health habits and genetics. The speed of the growth as a result will vary but will still be noticeably faster and deadlier than actual cancer developments. Like normal cells, cancer cells themselves can be destroyed by cancer treatments or physical injury, and the spread of growth can be stopped if it is cut off. It is later revealed that the growth can slow down and even reverse when applied to direct light or extreme freezing; Clara is able to target Bavaroise when she used a mirror to reflect the sunlight to directly burn herself to stop and reverse the growth from further damaging her thigh.

	+ Miss Anthropocene's appearance, in addition to taking inspiration from the album's cover art, was also inspired by the appearances of the series' espers. Their aged appearances is referenced in the Stand's pale and aged appearance.
