"The first to strike wins, y'know? I was hoping to crush you all... but now I've got a whole heap of questions."

— Stanley Snyder, Dr. Stone, Chapter 151

Stanley Snyder is an ex-military officer currently working for Dr. Xeno.

He is the one who initially assaults Senku's group once they disembark on the territory of the United States.

He is the secondary antagonist of the New America City Arc.

Appearance

Stanley is a tallish man with a feminine appearance. He has his petrification scar running across his face.

When in battle, he wears armor which covers most of his body along with his head. He is usually seen smoking a cigarette.

Personality

Not much is known about Stanley. He does get amused when he finds something interesting, as this was seen when he was intrigued by the Kingdom of Science dodging his machine gun fire and bringing down his airplane.

Owing to his past as a military soldier, Stanley is very observant of his opponents. He carefully inspected Senku's group as they hunted alligators to find out how much threat they pose to him and his allies. When he prepared to take Gen away, Stanley performed a pat down for weapons.

Dr. Xeno makes a scorning remark about his frequent habit of smoking, something the former has no problems with. Stanley has no qualms about endangering and potentially killing the intruders, regarding his previous assault on them merely as a show of power.

Attesting to his extreme willpower to endure four millennia under the effects of petrification, Xeno doesn't doubt in the slightest that Stanley can complete a task once he sets his mind on it.

Abilities and Skills

Combat proficiency: Judging from his background as well as his assault on Senku's group, Snyder is a valuable member of Dr. Xeno's group for his skill in modern warfare. At first glance, he could tell that Gen was not a developed fighter and that Senku's warrior group should be approached with caution.

• Skilled strategist: He initially planned wiping out the entirety of the ship crew with a decisive strike, eventually taking one of their members in for intel instead once the operation failed.
• Marksman: Stanley uses a variety of weapons such as a machine gun. While Stanley is skilled, he was unable to hit members of the Kingdom of Science but did graze Matsukaze in his shoulder.

Mental resilience: Among the select few mentally strong enough to withstand the millennia-long effects of petrification, Stanley possesses an extreme amount of determination. Immediately after Dr. Xeno suggests eliminating Taiju to bring down their adversaries, Stanley is set on the task. When inquired by Gen on how he can pull such a feat, he simply assures him he is capable of it without justification.

Equipment

Stanley carries a machine gun on him. He also carries a pistol and a dagger on his side.

History

Prior to the petrification, Stanley was in the military where he served as a soldier.

After his revival, Stanley at some point became an employee of Dr. Xeno.

New America City Arc

As the Kingdom of Science traveled across the river, Stanley monitored them from afar and watch them defeat the alligators, realizing their warriors were skilled.

Stanley then killed a pack of wolves that were prepared to attack him. The Kingdom of Science then set up camp but many of the Warriors detected Stanley and alerted their allies, before Stanley used his machine gun to open fire. However, the Warriors were able to rescue their allies while Stanley was taking time to reload they took the opportunity to flee. Amused, Stanley was excited about the chance of hunting them down.

Using his aircraft, Stanley pursued his enemies on the river and resume opening fire. However his plane was brought down by the actions of Senku Ishigami and Kirisame. Amused, Stanley abandon ship and contacted ask Dr. Xeno. After briefly talking about the situation, the two conferred with their enemies as a science user like him.

Forced to take a tactical retreat, Stanley came across Gen Asagiri, who quickly surrendered when a weapon was pointed at him. Stanley proceeded to check Gen but found no weapons and realizes he is not one of the warriors he saw from before. Stanley questions who Gen before he learns the latter is magician and has Gen follow him. He tells him that he was planning to snuff out his allies sooner but now wants to interrogate Gen for what his colony is. Stanley leads Gen to the American base. Dr. Xeno is present in the fortress factory when Stanley brings Gen Asagiri in for questioning. Stanley says that it's no surprise to locate Dr. Xeno in his factory, as Gen is put onto something that looked like a polygraph test. Dr. Xeno introduced himself along with Stanley, before intently questioning Gen on who he is and where he came from. After the latter gives his name and some of his history, Xeno is fascinated to hear that the man comes from Japan, having taken to face the dangers of the stone world to reach America. After Gen describes his leader's behavior, Xeno makes a point that the stranger may either be honest to a fault or a very good liar. He doesn't mind however, saying that he is fond of both types while Stanley figures to eliminate the leader. At the end, he watches Xeno inquire on the lead scientist's name, to which Gen replies with "Dr. Taiju".

On the orders of his employer, Stanley uses his second plane to search for the Kingdom of science eventually finding the Perseus. From his position, he remarks on the size of the ship.

He goes to kill Taiju, who Gen tricked them into thinking is the leader of the Science Kingdom.
