  • Gloved Fist of Doom
rdfs:comment
  • When the Big Bad wants to flex his power, he shoves his hands into big (usually black) gloves with an upward thrusting motion, then makes an evil fist (although a clawed semi-fist, as if clutching something unseen, is sometimes also done). Putting on the gloves can be optional; the character can make this move even if they're already wearing the gloves. For extra points, we get a scrunchy-leathery-rubbery sound effect as the fist is clenched. Pretty much a Mad Scientist staple, but the fisted glove is also a trope of megalomaniacs in general, showing off their power.

  • When the Big Bad wants to flex his power, he shoves his hands into big (usually black) gloves with an upward thrusting motion, then makes an evil fist (although a clawed semi-fist, as if clutching something unseen, is sometimes also done).

Pretty much a Mad Scientist staple, but the fisted glove is also a trope of megalomaniacs in general, showing off their power. Could also be an Evil Hand. When it's a Mad Doctor performing it, it might also include a Glove Snap. When the heroes do it, it's a Bicep-Polishing Gesture. Compare Milking the Giant Cow. Not related to a Fist Pump. Not to be confused with Giant Hands of Doom. Also not to be confused with the Power Fist. Or the Black Power Fist. Examples of Gloved Fist of Doom include:
