Electrified glove



An electrified glove is a lightweight and portable electroshock weapon that releases a powerful electrical shock capable of rendering any individual unconscious. It is worn as a gauntlet on one hand and employed by the Equalists to incapacitate their enemies. They were manufactured by Hiroshi Sato's Future Industries to support the Equalists.

History
During the final match of the Pro-Bending Championship Tournament, Equalists infiltrated the Bending Arena by posing as ordinary spectators. The Equalists concealed electrified gloves among their belongings and successfully smuggled them inside the arena.

After the final round of the match, the assailants began to systematically incapacitate Chief Beifong and members of the Metalbending Police Force, who were present as a precautionary security detail posted in response to Amon's warnings, along with other benders such as Tenzin, who posed a threat to their plans.

A lone Equalist then went into the radio booth and confronted Shiro Shinobi, who continued to report the proceedings within the arena to the radio audience before being shocked into unconsciousness himself.

It was eventually revealed that Hiroshi Sato helped build the weapons. Utilizing them in battle against Mako and Bolin, he gave one to Asami, in hopes that she would defend him. However, her acceptance was a ruse to get her father within shocking distance of the glove. Asami fled with Korra's group.

Design
The electrified gloves are primarily made of metal and are powered by an energy source attached to the surface of the gauntlet. Two wires run down to the palm of the glove, directly into a circular segment where the electrical current is released. The gloves are jointed, allowing users to ball up their hands into fists to deliver an electrified punch.

The gloves ability to electrocute an individual is not only effective through hand-to-hand combat, but also through use at a limited range.

Trivia

 * The design of the glove is similar to that of Iron Man's energy repulsors.
 * The glove works in a similar way to a modern-day taser, as both use a powerful electrical shock to incapacitate a target and can be used from up close or at a short distance.

Goofs

 * In the episode The Aftermath, while Asami was electrifying the Lieutenant, she also touched him with her other hand, which was bare, but she was not electrified as well.
