And in another episode, its fists got reinforced to make them sturdier. If you have a mechanical arm, these features may be built into it. Or maybe you can just launch the whole thing at 'em. Going back to the gauntlet, you can add powerful servos to give you a crushing grip, field emitters or energy projectors for added offensive or defensive power. The advent of high technology gives even more options. A lot harder to hide without shapeshifting, and perhaps even despite shapeshifting, but hey, it probably represents the character's inner rage or something. Maybe someone even grafted the devil's own unholy mitt onto your forearm to replace a lost hand - a literal Red Right Hand, maybe. Or perhaps a deeper affectation? Perhaps a giant bear paw, with claws like knives.
A set of blades strapped to the back of the fist and used like claws, Wolverine-style.
Armored gauntlets, with or without taloned fingertips. However, it gets really, really ridiculous when the main character has to try and do that every episode.īrass knuckles, possibly spiked. There's just something primal and gratifying about the image of bare hands beating swords.
