About this deal

Gamera in the film Gamera 3: Awakening of Irys gains the ability to form a fist out of plasma after his real hand is amputated. He uses said plasma-fist to Punch a hole into Irys and kill him. Then, there were the games. To get full 3-D motion, the Power Glove needed games programmed specifically to its capabilities. Problem was, only two titles were ever released for these features; with all other games, the Power Glove was basically shoehorned into playability, and the results were inaccurate character control and a lot of rolled eyes. The comfortable, close fitting design ensures hands can move freely making it an ideal choice for working on hydraulic systems in a number of roles including: Rab says: Lightweight glove in Polartec® stretch fabric for all round use in variable conditions and as a liner glove. Ghoritch, a Norse warrior walking around in a huge cyborg rat monster body following a brain transplant experiment, has a pair of sharpened mechanical claws in place of hands, driven by warpstone-powered pistons and capable of handily carving through enemy armor.

A Link to the Past manual, pg. 29 Nintendo Official Guidebook—The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Vol. 1, Shogakukan, pg. 23 Mother Panic: Mother Panic wears attachments on her gloves that are covered in nasty-looking knobby protrusions and greatly resemble the ancient Roman cestus.

Examples:

Fallout Tactics adds the Impact Gloves ("Pneumatic Power Fist" in Fallout 3) and Punch Gun, a leather and metal gauntlet that would fire a shotgun shell point blank on impact.

The heavy brass guards used on cutlasses and sabers can both protect the sword hand and serve as an improvised punching weapon.

Terminator Genisys: To fight T-3000, whose only weakness is magnets, the good T-800 crafts a pair of gauntlets out of magnetic coils scavenged from loudspeakers. Consequently, these gloves are essential for those participating in winter sports or riding motorcycles during the cold season. They keep the hands warm and improve agility, therefore reducing the risk of accidents brought on by numbness in the fingers. The Retribution of Scyrah faction in Warmachine can field Battle Mages, who are equipped with magically-enhanced gauntlets to punch the enemies of their people into next week.

Reborn! (2004): The X-Gloves worn by Sawada Tsunayoshi (and their predecessor, the I-Gloves worn by Vongola I.) Not only do they light on fire, but they allow flight, absorption of other flames, and the ability to FREEZE. Exalted has smashfists, an artifact weapon that is pretty much Exactly What It Says on the Tin. In addition, Lunars can incorporate special tattoo artifacts into the full-body moonsilver tattoos that every Lunar in the Silver Pact possesses; at the expense of having to permanently attune to the artifacts in question, they can't be stolen and are always available to the Lunar, even when shapeshifted. Smashfists are among the artifacts compatible with this method, making it possible to have a literal Power Fist. Grizzly Slash, from Mega Man X 5, has a Power Fist that can change into a Power DRILL! Just take a look ! Hollywood types have regularly weaved Power Glove references into their films. For example, in "Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare," Freddy Krueger swaps out his signature knife-tipped glove for the Power Glove as he torments a potential victim. He twists the Nintendo sales pitch a bit and says, "Now I'm playing with power!" Alternatively, for those who prefer a lighter option, heated glove liners can be worn under regular gloves for added heat without the bulk.Chapter 5 of The Good Hunter features the debut of the Fist of Gratia, described as "a hulking clod of iron fitted with finger holes". Cyril uses it to effortlessly incapacitate Wilmarina during their duel, barely using his Saw Cleaver all the while. Talk about disrespect. Southpaw from She-Hulk and Gauntlet and Armory from The Initiative, all created by Dan Slott, and all possessing alien gloves that project energy fists, but can't be removed. All three weapons are related (Southpaw and Gauntlet's were worn by the same alien; Armory's belonged to the one he was fighting.) Stinkoman 20X6: Stinkoman kills a giant robot in one level of his game, and then attaches the robot's fist to his own arm for no apparent reason. It's the size of his entire body, and he doesn't even punch anyone with it, he uses it as a giant shield. Dark Souls has several fist weapons such as cestuses, genuine-looking Wolverine Claws, and a huge fist carved of dragon bone.
