* 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 covered in a special substance, 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.]]

See also PowerFist (basically the weaponized brother), TrickedOutShoes (the shoe counterpart), 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.

** ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDI Link: Faces of Evil]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaCDI Zelda: Wand of Gamelon]]'' also have the Power Glove, which allows your sword strikes to function as bomb explosions, but at the cost of 10 rubies per use.

* The Oni Gauntlet from ''VideoGame/{{Onimusha}}'' series, most notably ''1'' and ''3''. It allows you to absorb souls.

* Subaru's Swordbreaker, a sleek glove introduced in ''[[MagicalGirlLyricalNanoha Magical Record Lyrical Nanoha Force]]'' that serves as a defensive complement to her PowerFist. Its main purpose is ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, as she showed during her melee with Veyron [[BarehandedBladeBlock when she caught his Divider with her glove]] and [[WreckedWeapon proceeded to crush it]].

* The Time Manipulation Device in ''{{Singularity}}''.

* ''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.

* ComicBook/TheInfinityGauntlet lets you warp reality. Can't get much more tricked out than that.

* ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaALinkToThePast'' had the Power Glove, enabling you to lift white rocks, and the Titan's Mitt, enabling you to lift black rocks. Both are required to access certain areas.

** ''VideoGame/ZeldaIITheAdventureOfLink'' had the Handy Glove, allowing you to break blocks with your sword.

* Lady Tiger Fist, an enemy of the Batman of Japan in ''Comicbook/BatmanIncorporated'' initially appears to have a tiger each side of her chair and is stroking the back of their necks. It turns out they're headless robot tigers, and she's wearing robotic tiger-head gloves. Which bite.

** 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.

* In Cocteau's ''[[Film/BeautyAndTheBeast La Belle et La Bete]]'', when Beauty gets homesick, the Beast gives Beauty a glove that lets her teleport anywhere she wants.

* The Wraithguard gauntlet from ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIIMorrowind'' lets you handle [[ArtifactOfDoom Kagrenac's tools]].

* Athena Cykes from ''VisualNovel/PhoenixWrightAceAttorneyDualDestinies'' 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.

* Thor's iron gloves from Myth/NorseMythology, needed to handle [[DropTheHammer Mjolnir]].

* Usually overshadowed by his utility belt, but Franchise/{{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.
