Attack Potency: Athlete level, Below Average Human level with the Lovers (Lovers is stated by Steely Dan to be the weakest Stand, claiming to be unable to move even a single strand of hair, and is microscopic in size, though it was capable of damaging Silver Chariot when it was shrunk down to the same size. Its abilities ignore conventional durability as well).

Range: Standard Melee Range physically. The Lovers has an effective manifestation range of Hundreds of Kilometers^[1] with an attack range within the microscopic level physically (Microscopic in size^[2] and attacks at the micro-level^[3], slightly smaller than a shrunken Hierophant Green and Chariot who were microscopic^[4])

Standard Equipment: A knife, his Stand, the Lovers, and DIO's flesh buds.

Intelligence: Steely Dan is a conniving opponent who uses his equally underhanded Stand to assassinate targets by delivering DIO's flesh buds directly to their brains. However, he is a sadist and enjoys tormenting his victims

Weaknesses: Steely Dan himself is basically harmless to another Stand User, and any damage dealt to the Lovers will be reflected onto his body. Due to the Lovers' abilities, Steely Dan is overconfident and enjoys tormenting his victims

Notable Attacks / Techniques:

The Lovers: The Lovers is Steely Dan's Stand, a microscopic, long-range insectoid Stand that infiltrates the bodies of others to safely wreak havoc from the inside. Unlike most Stands, the Lovers has its own personality, as conniving and sly as its user. While it may be very vulnerable due to its small size, its cunning and elusive nature make it a formidable foe. The Lovers can use its size to deliver DIO's flesh buds directly to a target's brain to ensure their death, for example.

• Clones: The Lovers can cultivate brain cells to create clones of itself or disguise itself, using these to protect itself within a target's brain. Its clones can harm other Stands.
• Pain Synchronization: By infiltrating a target's brain, the Lovers can synchronize their nervous system with Steely Dan's, causing any sensation he feels to be magnified many times over in his target's body. Any pain he feels is intensified greatly, making it a potent tool for tormenting and holding foes hostage. Otherwise, it is likely that the Lovers can simply attack the brain directly with its pincers to cause more direct damage.
