History
The Main Antagonist for the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 1: Phantom Blood and Part 3: Stardust Crusaders. In the late 19th century, a child he was born to a poor English family where his only family member was his abusive and drunk father.

One day his father was dying (because Dio was poisoning him) and his father, Dario Brando, gave him a letter about how he can be adoptive to the rich Joestar family to pay the debt of Dario "saving" (he was originally trying to rob him) George Joestar.

Dio soon meets his later rival and obstacle to world domination, Jonathan Joestar (son of George Joestar). At first, Dio was trying to ruin his life, beating him up nearly to death, burning his dog alive, and stealing Jonathan's girlfriend (and later wife) first kiss.

Though their last fight as adolescents (around 15-17) had Jonathan come up on top, this made Dio realize he should try pretending to be a good/nice son and brother in the eyes of Joestars while poisoning his adoptive father and then planning to kill Jonathan with a strange Stone Mask which would later change Dio into a ("JoJo Universe") Vampire.

This lead to the rest of the events in Part 1. Near the end of Part 1, Dio is just a head with a minion to carry him but he manages to mortally wound Jonathan in his plan to take his body on a exploding ship (which ends up working). This leads to Part 3: Stardust Crusaders where Joseph Joestar -Jonathan's grandson and Protagonist of Part 2: Battle Tendency- and Jotaro Kujo (Jonathan's great-grandson/Joseph's grandson) with four others are traveling from Japan to Egypt to kill Dio Brando -who is now calling himself DIO- (NOTE: "Dio" is Italian for God and "Dios" is Spanish for God as well) and break the curse.

Arsenal
Inhuman Strength: Dio attains massive strength as a Vampire, allowing him feats such as forcibly walking on walls and single-handedly deflecting attacks such as Hierophant Green's Emerald Splash. After absorbing Joseph's blood he is powerful enough to drop a steamroller on Jotaro.

Enhanced Senses: Demonstrated when placing his head on the ground to hear Jotaro's heartbeat, Dio appears to have senses beyond human level.

Regeneration: Dio can regenerate his body faster than fire can consume it. His incredible vitality is maintained by consuming human beings (or their blood), which he commonly does by piercing them with his fingers. Like all JoJo vampires, Dio sucks blood through tentacles in his fingers and has been seen at least once drinking blood from an unnamed girl. His body is able to live even after having vital body parts amputated and he can also control his detached body parts. In one case, another JoJo vampire was shot by a Tommy gun then blown to bits by several grenades attached to him and was turned into as his opponent put it "a hamburger" (he was blown into meat chunks similar to that of grounded beef) yet he regenerated in nearly a few minutes (mind you the vampire wasn't at his full strength but was still capable enough to pull off all the other abilities).

Space Ripper Stingy Eyes: Dio is able to pressurize liquid in his eyeballs and then create small openings in his pupils, eventually creating two fluid jets (referred to by Straizo as "Space Ripper Stingy Eyes") powerful enough to slice stone and seem to be long enough to reach space (or at least the outer atmosphere of earth).

Vaporization Freezing Technique: A freezing ability enabling Dio to freeze his own body parts and transfer this over to other objects or beings. It is able to cancel out the Hamon by freezing the blood in the user's body.

Fusion: By fusing different species, Dio can create half-man half-beast creatures. He can even fuse himself with another living beings to take control of them.

Spores: In Part I, Dio's powers are more bio-organic, but for the most part in Part III he only utilizes the "evil implants" - a parasite that brainwashes Polnareff and Kakyoin. A vampires cells can spawn Evil Implants generated from hair and insert it in the brains of living beings to control them. If someone tries to take out the spore, it will grow tentacles in a attempt to kill both the host and the one trying to remove it. If the vampire wants, he can give permission to someone to activate the spore's tentacles anytime he wants if close to it.

Hypnosis: This ability was used twice on Jack The Ripper and Poco respectively. In the case of the former, Dio hypnotized Jack to convince him to join as a servant, allowing Dio to drain his blood and turn him into a zombie. Poco was manipulated to lure Jonathan into a trap, though his consciousness returned after being subjected to Jonathan's hamon.

Teleportation: Dio also shows the ability to disappear by fading into darkness, though this power was only used by him in anime.

Weaknesses
All of this, however, is at the expense of having a body sustained by sheer willpower alone, rather than vital energy. A sufficiently powerful vital force - specifically, sunlight or the Hamon/Ripple force - will negate the sustaining force's presence and disintegrate the long-unliving body. For all his great powers, Dio is hampered, like oh-so-many Shounen villains, by his EXTREME arrogance. He’s so intelligent, but in the desire to completely humiliate an opponent, he ignores the most simple and direct solution. This, in combination with MASSIVE PIS (plot-induced stupidity) during his fight with Jotaro (whose own time stop powers happened to manifest at the most convenient time) led to his defeat against Jotaro:

Stand
Dio's humanoid Stand is The World; facilitating melee attack roughly equal in its immense force and speed to Jotaro's Star Platinum.

About a year after gaining his Stand, Dio discovered that it is capable of stopping time. At first, he could only do this for a very short amount of time but, by the end of Part III, he is able to stop time for a maximum of 9 seconds. This duration would have continued to develop had Dio not been defeated. When stopping time, Dio gives the impression that he is teleporting or moving at impossible speed.

Feats

 * Survived being bisected and decapitated while falling down a steep and tall cliff
 * Can lift over his head, drop and punch it until it explodes: a 21 ton steamroller
 * His stand can stop time for more than 11 seconds and is universal (not to mention the stronger he gets and the more he fights the time stop's length increases) even being able to stop a new universe being created (a speculation taken from Jotaro stopping time from preventing the universe being reborn into DIO's ideal World)
 * His stand is slightly faster and stronger than Jotaro's Star Platinum's Faster-Than-Light speed and harder-than-diamond/diamond-crushing punch making his stand Massively-Faster-Than-LIght (when compared to Star Platinum and Silver Chariot)
 * It appears he can move (without his stand) Faster-Than-Light
 * He took a barrage of Star Platinum's punches (one even straight to the skull) but did not kill him only wounded him
 * He also survived being blown up in a steam/cruise ship (though he hid in a coffin capable to withstand such a blast)
 * He can handle several Hamon/Ripple users at a time and even prevent Hamon/Ripple from touching him and can freeze a Hamon user's bloodstream to prevent them from using it
 * Technically, he killed Part 1 protagonist Jonathan Joestar and Part 2 (just main character in Part 3) protagonist Joseph Joestar in Part 3
 * He also killed: Noriaki Kakyoin (in approx. less than 1 minute), Dire (in about 5 seconds or so by freezing him and breaking him apart), nearly killed Hamon/Ripple Master Will A. Zeppeli
