02Appearance
Magent Magent is a slender man of above-average height and dark curly hair. Outside a bolero hat, his attire generally consists of what appears to be a thick quilted stud jacket, accompanied by long sleeves, finger-less gloves, a fur collar, and a single stud-embedded cravat.↗
Later on, he is given a noticeable scar on the left side of his face after his bout with Johnny and Gyro.↗
03Personality
Magent Magent is presented as an affable and genial henchman to Funny Valentine, trying to bond with his new partner Wekapipo through idle chat or questionable jokes. However, he is quickly exasperated by Wekapipo's gloomy attitude and comes to hate him for leaving him behind in the cold.↗
In contrast to Wekapipo's more dignified manners, Magent Magent has several bad habits such as licking his own snot, or is quick to express nervousness or frustration during his battles. His unprofessional behavior also causes him to botch most of his actions, such as when he wastes time taunting and threatening Wekapipo during their battle and allows the latter to counterattack and win.↗
Magent Magent supposedly has a nasal, gravelly and thus irritating voice. This is represented by his lines tending to be written phonetically rather than the more usual style.↗
04Abilities
Stand
Magent Magent can summon 20th Century BOY in order to become invulnerable to all harm, including explosions and drowning, as long as he adopts a kneeling position and puts his hands on the ground.↗
05Story
SPOILERS
Wrecking Ball
Wekapipo is dispatched alongside Magent Magent. The two stand guard in a vantage point overlooking the frozen strait between Lake Michigan and Lake Superior. Magent Magent tries to converse, mentioning the newly invented airplanes and then attempts a joke. However, Wekapipo doesn't let himself be distracted by Magent Magent’s antics and his gloom frustrates Magent Magent.↗
The pair see Johnny and Gyro and approach to attack. Wekapipo throws his Steel Ball and Gyro throws his own Steel Ball to stop it, but Wekapipo's Ball shoots the small beads embedded on it at the duo. The left side ataxia sets in for Johnny and Gyro; Magent Magent goes to their left on his sled and tries to shoot, but Johnny turns to the right until he sees Magent Magent and shoots him.↗
Johnny stops the satellites of the second ball, allowing Magent Magent to shoot the wolf. Then, a stray satellite flies towards and Gyro is forced to shield Johnny with his other hand, damaging it and preventing Gyro from faking the Golden Rectangle with his hands. Wekapipo induces the left side ataxia again and Magent Magent disappears from the heroes' sight. Gyro only manage to grab one Steel Ball before the effects fully kick in.↗
However, Magent Magent survives his wounds. He manages to crawl across the straits and cross the 15 km of snow towards Mackinaw City. He has heard about Lucy Steel being an enemy of Valentine. He's found by Diego Brando, who brings him back to civilization and the two cooperate loosely. Magent Magent is at last treated back to a semblance of health and goes to Philadelphia.↗
In Philadelphia
To find Lucy, Magent Magent seeks Steel in his coach and hands him a ruler. Because of his lost eye, Magent Magent has trouble perceiving perspective and he uses this trick to shoot better, hitting Steel in the chest with two bullets. However, Wekapipo arrives on the scene. When Wekapipo finds Steel in his coach, the old man has been shot. Magent Magent tries to ambush Wekapipo, hidden on the coach and tries to shoot. However, the horses are startled and Wekapipo sees Magent Magent’s shadow.↗
Magent Magent shoots and Wekapipo throws a Wrecking Ball through the roof, grazing each other. The satellites fly towards Magent, who protects himself with 20th Century BOY. He sneakily lights up his belt of dynamite sticks. With Magent Magent immobilized, Wekapipo climbs on the coach whose horses start to gallop. Wekapipo tries to stab Magent Magent in the face with a knife, but it breaks.↗
Near the Delaware river, Wekapipo sees that Magent Magent has lit a bunch of dynamite sticks. He throws a Steel Ball at Steven Steel to harden his body and uses his other ball to induce left side ataxia on the horses, making them turn right and throw both Wekapipo and Magent Magent in the water. The explosion still sends shrapnel at Wekapipo, who is hurt and in the water. Magent Magent cancels his Stand and takes out his gun, preparing to shoot the Neapolitan.↗
The Ball Wekapipo had used on the horse has pulled cables around the tire axle and tied Magent Magent, pulling him underwater. Nearly drowning, he activates his Stand and waits for Diego to come save him. However, he eventually stops waiting and stops thinking as neither Diego, nor anyone else, comes to save him, leaving him to rest indefinitely at the bottom of the river. It is unclear whether his Stand has the ability to make him immortal, leaving his ultimate fate unknown.↗
