* His incredibly neurotic brother, Rikiel, possesses one as well. His stand, Sky High, takes the form of a cartoonish frog with a (also cartoonish) pterodactyl head on top of its own, attached to his wrist, and possesses no offensive, defensive, or intelligence gathering abilities. It’s one ability is to communicate with Rods, fictional insects that propel themselves faster than the eye can see and haven’t been discovered by humanity, who also possess no offensive, defensive, or intelligence gathering abilities. So how is it awesome? Note the fact it hasn’t been discovered? This is due to three key factors. 1. Their aforementioned speed, which makes them imperceptible in flight. 2. Disintegrating upon death, leaving no remains to be identified. 3. [[EnergyAbsorption They feed by absorbing the energy around them]], [[PerpetualMotionMonster so they never have to stop moving.]] This allows Rikiel to absorb the energy of his enemies by getting Rods to fly near them, stealing their body heat and inflicting an innumerable amount of injuries to his opponents, shutting their eyelids, neutralising limbs, even stopping their internal organs from functioning, including his enemy’s [[OneHitKill spinal column.]] Rikiel, upon realising his ability’s true potential, goes from a nervous hypochondriac to one of Jolyne’s fiercest opponents.

* Enrico Pucci's Stand, Whitesnake, allows him to extract people's powers and memories in the form of discs. While an ability that's essentially just PowersAsPrograms combined with LaserGuidedAmnesia may seem lame compared to [[HavingABlast the]] [[TimeMaster powers]] of previous {{Big Bad}}s, the schemes Pucci pulls off with it are what allows him to go from the resident mysterious schemer of Green Dolphin Street Prison to [[spoiler:the orchestrator of the apocalyptic events of the latter half of Part 6]]. He's playable in ''All-Star Battle'' and has ''two'' playable forms in ''Eyes of Heaven'' and ''All-Star Battle R''.

* Dragona's Smooth Operators doesn't do much outside of moving stuff around. That might sound like a stupid power to have, but they can also use their Stand's ability to move things that ''can't'' be moved, letting them become a MasterForger by replacing various aspects of an object and making them look like the genuine article. They also can use Smooth Operators to apply some BodyHorror by moving parts of your body around.

* In the same arc, Kenzou’s stand, Dragon’s Dream, counts as well. For a quick explanation, Feng Shui, also know as Chinese Geomancy, posits that how locations, such as natural formations, building arrangements, and individual rooms, are intrinsically linked to the flow of Qi, which governs luck (among other things). Dragon’s Dream has no direct attacks and two alternating modes. The first points out Kenzou’s most fortunate places, and the second points out his opponents most unfortunate places, hovering near it to redirect any attacks towards that spot. So, how is this awesome? Being in his most fortunate spots allows him to avoid attacks by ''sheer luck'', while striking his opponent in their most unfortunate spots lands {{Critical Hit}}s or creates [[ButterflyOfDoom Butterflies of Doom]] that rapidly spiral out of control, such as falling air conditioner blocks, spinning fan blades, and even being trapped in an electric chair. Coupled with [[OldMaster Kenzou]]’s own proficiency in martial arts, he is able to use Dragon’s Dreams analytical ability to the fullest, and as Anasui puts it, if it weren’t for Dragon’s Dream and Feng Shui being neutral concepts, his stand would possess no weakness.

* Boingo tries to invoke this trope, remarking that even though his Stand can't see far into the future, its high accuracy makes up for any of its shortcomings. It's subverted due to the fact that Thoth's predictions backfire so much that he and his partners would be better off ignoring it. He doesn't make it as a playable character for ''Heritage for the Future'', instead becoming an AssistCharacter to one of Hol Horse's playable versions.

* Lovers, the Stand of Steely Dan, is a small bug that can be easily crushed between two fingers, making it quite possibly the physically weakest Stand ever. His Stand's ''ability'', however, is frighteningly effective and crippling, with very few people capable of actually dealing with Lovers once it's gotten into someone's body. Its size also means it's able to travel inside people and [[AgonyBeam stimulate their pain receptors]], [[{{Synchronization}} with the victim receiving double the pain of any damage Dan takes]].

* Joy Division, Sogliola's Stand, allows him to swap whatever he is holding in his left hand to his right one and viceversa. While seemingly useless, it has a few quirks that makes it much more powerful than it looks. If Sogliola touches himself and an object, he will teleport himself somewhere near said object, which allows him to bypass walls and make quick getaways. Also, he can delay his ability so that the targets will swap places at a predetermined time, even if he isn't touching them; in one instance he scattered pieces of polystyrene into the sea, and then swapped them with naval mines to create a sudden minefield.

In the bizarre world of ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'', powers like healing, making maps and summoning zippers [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower all have deadly combat applications when in the hands of a competent Stand User]]. In a world full of guys who can [[TimeStandsStill stop time]], have SuperStrength, and can even [[RealityWarper subvert reality]], it's amazing to see what such seemingly underpowered abilities as controlling sound effects, drawing manga, and turning into string can do. If there's a FightingGame based around the franchise (and [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureHeritageForTheFuture in fact]] [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureAllStarBattle there are]] [[VideoGame/JoJosBizarreAdventureEyesOfHeaven several]]), it's a safe bet that some of these users will make it in despite how little fighting prowess they possess. Here are some of those examples:

* This trope is discussed in a flashback where Pucci asks DIO who he thinks has the weakest Stand. He replies that ''"The Stand named 'Survivor' is the 'weakest'. But it's a handful."''. Effectively, Guccio's Stand is automatic, triggered when Guccio is mad. It causes a small electric current to move across wet surfaces. Whoever is hit by the current becomes extremely violent, only caring about hurting other people, as well as giving them the ability to see what parts of the body are strong or damaged, allowing the affected people to focus on the better targets. On it's own? A Stand that is completely useless, or even actively detrimental, to its user. However, with just a wet floor and a closed area, its potential to kill someone rises exponentially. A closed area like, say ''a maximum security prison'', the setting where the part takes place.

* Foo Fighters is a Stand who can control a colony of plankton that make up her body. She has easily the [[ImaginationBasedSuperpower most creative applications]] of any supporting character; she can morph her index finger and thumb into a gun to fire pieces of herself, heal deadly wounds by filling them with her plankton and sewing them on a microscopical level, travel through bodies of water almost instantaneously, recover from pretty much any injury as long as a piece of her is able to get to a water source, and animate the body of a dead woman. She's part of the playable roster of ''All Star Battle [[UpdatedRerelease R]]'', notably having fellow stand user (and ''Eyes of Heaven'' roster member) Weather Report as her AssistCharacter.
