* Tedd of ''Webcomic/ElGoonishShive'' made a [[http://www.egscomics.com/index.php?id=1547 gauntlet]] designed to gradually store the wearer's magic, then give it back in a short burst.

* Roy Mustang from ''Manga/FullmetalAlchemist'' has gloves that allow him to [[PlayingWithFire create large amounts of fire]] by [[FingerSnapLighter snapping his fingers]], since his gloves have an [[HermeticMagic alchemical circle]] inscribed on the back of the hand, allowing him to transmute the air around his target into flammable gases, and is made out of a special cloth, which allows him to make sparks (and ignite aforementioned gases into a fireball).[[WeaksauceWeakness They're also utterly (yet entirely understandably) useless if they're wet.]]
** Most of the other State Alchemists also wear gloves/gauntlets with their specialty Alchemy circle inscribed. Alex Louis Armstrong would be another notable example, with his dual purpose, [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cestus_(boxing) cestus]]-esque gauntlets. Just as good for punching as using alchemy!

* Blarouse from ''Webcomic/TowerOfGod'' has a launching glove for her Boomerang Ball.

* ''Literature/{{Durarara}}'': Celty gives Shizuo special gloves that protect him from sharp blades.
* Lt. Surge from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has (supposedly) fingerless gloves that insulate electricity, allowing him to easily handle his electric Pokemon. After Red beats him, he takes them for himself and puts them to good use by enabling him to preemptively charge his Pika's Thunderbolt before even releasing him from his Pokeball. It's revealed in "The Mt. Silver Training" that the gloves actually have an invisible lining on the fingers to only make them LOOK like fingerless gloves, which is about as literal as you can make a HandWave as possible.

* ''Manga/{{Plunderer}}'' has Jail Murdoh's Ballot, a set of gloves that allow him to conjure [[ExtraOreDinary iron]] in whatever form he wants.

** The Love Glove, a member of the second Brotherhood of Dada in ''ComicBook/DoomPatrol'' has the ability to use several magical gloves from the psychedelic Glove Tree, such as the Love Glove, the Shove Glove, and the Tech Glove.
** Hyssa's Fist, a demonic gauntlet that appeared in one issue of ''Comicbook/Superboy1994'' during the ''Comicbook/DayOfJudgement'' CrisisCrossover.

When Guardian wears it he thinks he's back in WWII and Superboy is Captain Nazi Jr; and when Kon-El wears it he begins turning into [[EvilTwin Black Zero]].

** Baron Wolfgang von Stucker of ComicBook/{{Hydra}} wields the Satan Claw, a metal gauntlet that amplifies his strength and emits powerful electrical shocks.
* Goldenglove I and II from ''ComicBook/AstroCity'', with gloves taken from a UFO crash.

* In ''ComicBook/AmericanFlagg'', Mandy makes Raul a pair of cybernetic gloves. Their only real feature is opposable thumbs, but when you're a housecat, that's enough.

* ''Film/TheWizard'' spawned one of the most famous and [[MemeticMutation memetic]] examples: "I love the Power Glove. [[TotallyRadical It's so bad]]." This was product placement for an actual Power Glove (see the Real Life section).

* In Cocteau's ''Film/BeautyAndTheBeast1946'', when Beauty gets homesick, the Beast gives Beauty a glove that lets her teleport anywhere she wants.

* In ''[[Literature/{{Xanth}} Centaur Aisle]]'', Smash Ogre gets a pair of metal gauntlets that drastically improves his namesake ability. They're not magical, but their solid construction allows him to apply more force. It's a ''very'' good thing he's a good guy.
* ''Literature/TheDreamsideRoad'': Orson’s left glove houses the controls for all of his electrical defenses, tasers, and flashbangs, as well as for his repulsor boot.

** The 2023 ChristmasEpisode, "[[Recap/DoctorWho2023CSTheChurchOnRubyRoad The Church on Ruby Road]]", introduces a new gadget of the Doctor's that lets its wearer keep their grip on anything without growing fatigued, by concentrating the wearer's mass and weight into them. Its use is twofold: first, they can make the wearer near-weightless which he demonstrates by carefreely swinging on a rope ladder one-handed, several hundred feet above the ground. Secondly, the gloves can be reversed to dramatically increase their mass, which he first uses to escape the Goblin ship with Ruby, and later uses to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice drag the ship onto a church spire]].

* There is/was the "Coal Miner's Glove" Gimmick Match, where said glove was on a pole (or hidden in one of several boxes). If you got the glove you could put it on and hit your opponent with it. Presumably that's better than just hitting them with your fist.
** Even a "normal" glove allows you to punch harder by reducing the damage to the skin on your knuckles, and thus the pain.

* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'' has had many magical gauntlets and gloves over the years with a variety of powers.

* The Oni Gauntlet from ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'' series, most notably ''[[VideoGame/OnimushaWarlords Warlords]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/Onimusha3DemonSiege Demon Siege]]''. It allows you to absorb souls.

* The demon-summoning COMP in several ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'' games is wrist-mounted.

* Torvald from ''VideoGame/{{Paladins}}'' wields a massive, runic stone gauntlet that he made himself. While it looks large enough to be a PowerFist, its shoots energy beams and projects shields instead of punching. For his Ultimate, his gauntlet fires a massive blast that sends enemies [[BlownAcrossTheRoom flying over the horizon]].

* "Power gloves" are worn by the heroes of ''VideoGame/JumpStartAdventures6thGradeMissionEarthquest''. They provide the game menu for the player but don't seem to have any kind of useful function in-universe.

As their name implies, they're similar in function to (and may well even be related to) the [[VideoGame/HalfLife2 Gravity Gun]], allowing the player to draw small objects towards them with remarkable accuracy. They also have LED displays for health, ammo, and resin.
* ''VideoGame/{{HAAK}}'': In the first area, the [[UrbanRuins Sanho Ruins]], [[PlayerCharacter Haak]] locates some gloves that are able to be used in melee combat, and can also shoot out energy grappling hooks.

* ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing'' has the Powerful Glove, a reference to the real-life Nintendo Power Glove. It comes with some decent enchantments, like boosts to weapon and spell damage, but more importantly, it also unlocks "cheat-codes"[[note]]Not real {{Cheat Code}}s per-se, but rather abilities stylized as such[[/note]] like Triple Size (significantly boost your stats temporarily) and Shrink Enemy (halve an enemy's HP, attack, and defense values).

* Athena Cykes from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'' and ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneySpiritOfJustice'' has a three-fingered glove that wraps around her right thumb, index, and middle fingers. She uses it to interact with the holograms that the little computer around her neck, Widget, projects.
* The main premise of ''VisualNovel/CiconiaWhenTheyCry'' revolves around the invention of the Gauntlet, an armored glove worn on the left arm that [[OneManArmy grants a single individual several powers]] such as {{flight}}, [[BagOfHolding access to a pocket dimension filled with tons of weaponry]], and [[DeflectorShields the creation of nearly-indestructible barriers]], making all current military power obsolete.

* ''Webcomic/VanVonHunter'': Van's sidekick obtains a pair of "Gloves of Lifting", which allows her to lift almost any load. She doesn't get any other physical capabilities you would find related to such strength (she can't punch, throw, push, or crush with super-strength), just lifting. Although lifting things and then dropping them on opponents is an option.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''WebVideo/SuburbanKnights'' revolves around the search for the Gauntlet of Malachite, which is supposed to have magical powers, although WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic just wants to sell it. [[spoiler: However the glove itself is meaningless, the important thing is the gem on it, which allows one to use magic without [[CastFromHitPoints penalty]]. In fact when they actually find it the gem has been moved... onto a [[Film/TheWizard Power Glove]]. Complete with ShoutOut.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/SwatKats'': The SWAT Kats' Glovatrix- in the first season they were SuperWristGadget, in the second season they were {{Power Fist}}s.
* ''WesternAnimation/InvasionAmerica'' had the Exotar, which gave the hero [[MindOverMatter telekinetic powers]].
* On one ''WesternAnimation/HouseOfMouse'' short, WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse gets his trademark WhiteGloves mixed up with a magician's, which enables him to do magic tricks.
* ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'': A controller similar to the RealLife NES Power Glove was advertised in a video game tournament as a prize for Mordecai and Skips (with Rigby later replacing the latter) to compete for. It was advertised the same way. It also worked the same way, which is to say not at all.
* In ''WesternAnimation/KimPossible'', Shego's energy blast powers were originally [[WordOfGod said]] to be generated by her gloves. This was later retconned into her having genuine superpowers, along with the rest of her family.
* One episode of ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom'' revolved around a villain trying to obtain the Reality Gauntlet, a homage to the Infinity Gauntlet mentioned above.
* A recurring villain of ''WesternAnimation/AladdinTheSeries'', Mozenrath, is practically built on this trope--all his magical powers come from a life-draining gauntlet.

* ''WesternAnimation/ApolloGauntlet''

* The [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove Power Glove]], a gaming peripheral for the [[UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem NES]], as famously featured in ''Film/TheWizard''. It's a cool-looking glove that has motion sensors in the fist itself! [[AwesomeButImpractical Sadly, its motion sensors hardly work, making it useless]]. At least it has a controller at the top.

** The UsefulNotes/PlayStation and the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 also had a glove controller that was simply called "The Glove". It worked better than its predecessor but never had the power of memes to be able to surface from obscurity.

** The 2023 ChristmasEpisode, "[[Recap/DoctorWho2023CSTheChurchOnRubyRoad The Church on Ruby Road]]", introduces a new gadget of the Doctor's that lets its wearer keep their grip on anything without growing fatigued, which he demonstrates by carefreely swinging on a rope ladder one-handed, several hundred feet above the ground.

->''"I spend a lot of time hanging off things, I invented these. Intelligent gloves. [...] 'Cause I thought to myself, 'What's the problem with hanging on?' It's all the friction and the weight and the burns. So I got rid of that. [...] The glove takes all my weight. All the weight is in the glove, so nothing burns, nothing pulls, nothing hurts. "''

-->-- '''The Doctor''' to Ruby Sunday, ''Series/DoctorWho'', "[[Recap/DoctorWho2023CSTheChurchOnRubyRoad The Church on Ruby Road]]"

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E17E18TheEndOfTime "The End of Time"]], [[spoiler:Rassilon]] has a Gauntlet [[DoomyDoomsOfDoom of DOOM]] with which he can disintegrate people who disagree with him. He also uses it to [[spoiler:restore humanity back to normal]] as a power move when the Master threatens him.

* Lt. Surge from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has (supposedly) fingerless gloves that insulate electricity, allowing him to easily handle his electric Pokemon. After Red beats him, he takes them for himself and puts them to good use by enabling him to preemptively charge his Pika's Thunderbolt before even releasing him from his Pokeball. It's revealed in "The Mt. Silver Training" that the gloves actually have an invisible lining to only make them LOOK like fingerless gloves, which is about as literal as you can make a HandWave as possible.
** Years later, Black has his own set of insulating gloves he can use to handle electricity or alternatively provide a better grip for himself. This time, they're actually just black gloves.

See also PowerFist (basically the weaponized brother), TrickedOutShoes (the shoe counterpart), SuperWristGadget (and GadgetWatch), ElectricJoybuzzer, ArmCannon, and RingOfPower. HighClassGloves are for elegance instead of cool abilities but on a character who is SilkHidingSteel they could be both. See also MagicalAccessory for other pieces of cool stuff enabling jewelry and trinkets.

Gloves that enables the wearer to do cool stuff. It may be used as PhlebotinumHandlingEquipment.

* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': Rukia's skull symboled glove that lets her separate Ichigo's soul from his body to fights Hollows (he later gets a license, letting him do it himself) and the Quincy Sanrei Glove which makes using their abilities ''harder'' but is good for training (especially [[SuperMode if they take it off]] [[DePower but only for a while, then it's very bad]]).

* Lt. Surge from ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' has (supposedly) fingerless gloves that insulate electricity, allowing him to handle his electric Pokemon with ease.

Silver Training" that the gloves actually have an invisible lining to only make them LOOK like fingerless gloves, which is about as literal as you can make a HandWave as possible.

** Usually overshadowed by his utility belt, but ComicBook/{{Batman}} has more than a couple spare tools in his gloves. Played straight with ComicBook/{{Nightwing}}, who carries all his gear in pouch rings on his gloves and boots in lieu of the belt. When ComicBook/{{Azrael}} took up the role of Batman, his metallic gauntlets had a number of (much more lethal) gadgets built in; these later becomes part of ComicBook/{{Manhunter|DCComics}}'s arsenal.
** Lady Tiger Fist, an enemy of the Batman of Japan in ''[[ComicBook/BatmanGrantMorrison Batman Incorporated]]'', initially appears to have a tiger each side of her chair and is stroking the back of their necks.

** The Heavy seems to be a collector of Tricked-Out Gloves. It helps that he's the bruiser of [=TF2=]. His [[FunWithAcronyms Gloves of Running Urgently]] increases movement speed. His [[FunWithAcronyms Killing Gloves of Boxing]] grant him critical hits for a short time if he scores a kill with them. He also has [[RuleOfCool gloves that make people explode]], [[BearsAreBadNews gloves made from bear paws]], oversized metal gauntlets that protect him from bullets and pointy brass knuckles that turn him into a LightningBruiser. Hell, his default gloves, as well as his Christmas Mittens, allow him to kill people with a FingerGun!

** The [[SuperPrototype original version of the device]] (the Data Glove) created by an inventor was a better example and worked more or less perfectly, but was sadly far too expensive to be mass produced and they were only given five months to turn it into an affordable product, resulting in the problem-filled final version of it.
