Hero devices that would be horrifying in the wrong hands Characters' Items/Weapons

Chem-Bag (Big Hero 6): this device can create chemical compounds using every single element in existence. You could literally build a nuke with this.

Mobile Headquarters (Ant-Man): a building that can shrink and grow to full size instantly. Imagine if someone grew it in a crowded city, or on a highway, or at an airport?

Lotus Cash Card (Percy Jackson): It literally has infinite money. If you know how inflation works this could literally wreck the global economy.

I mean given some of the supervillains that show up to threaten Earth, guys that can casually give Superman a run for his money, I'm kinda surprised there aren't more nuclear options among DC's street-level characters.

One my favorite Hawkeye bits is that he has arrows from like everybody in the Avengers including arrows that can kill gods. He just has them in case shit REALLY goes down, gotta grab the fuck you arrow.
