Thanks to the recent ~Dreams~ event, Jonathan's gained a shiny new power from the experiences within the dream. It's not a Stand. Definitely.
Definitely.
(It's definitely based on the stand he apparently would have had according to Araki, who definitely never contradicts himself ever)
Manifesting as the ability to create spiritual vines in a sort of violet-indigo hue, Jonathan can spawn from himself not quite a weapon but perhaps more accurately a tool for communication and for energy carrying. The vines are thorned mind- so that WOULD hurt, but any combative use is solely in how they can carry his Hamon through them from one end to the other.
The vines are very strong- he could theoretically spiderman swing with them, even while in his pilotable body (more on that below)- but they could be cut or broken by other objects with enough intent going into it.
More interestingly is their capacity for communication- while unable to quite achieve what Joseph's counterpart Hermit Purple could saves on cameras that way, Jonathan can communicate intent and thought through the vines and manifest messages elsewhere in image form; these vines can travel a great distance through or beneath the surroundings, making them effective for stealth communication as well! In contrast, reaching far enough with the vines allows Jonathan himself to 'see' what is at the other end (Though this has its limits, and the image he gets isn't very clear if it's too far)
NOW THEN ABOUT THAT BODY
Basically, a while ago, Jonathan had Rex create a 'phantom' for him. A fancy way of saying 'it's an organic mech that looks just like he used to in life'. He enters and exits typically through the back of the head, but he can also escape through the mouth in a pinch. Over all, while in the body he's...just capable of what he used to be while a human. Of course, being a 6'5'' muscle guy that means part of the capabilities involve being able to beat the tar out of things, but hey!
POWER UPDATE: IT'S TOTALLY NOT A STAND YOU GUYS + Oh yeah a Body
Definitely.
