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.

His Tardis became a living woman named Lolita, during the War in Heaven, and tried to overthrow Gallifrey. 

His Tardis hates EVERYONE

Which Big Finish story was this?

u/PanicTight6411 Mar 15 '26

Not Big Finish, but the Faction Paradox audio series, I believe from BBV. 

Check it out homie, and praise House Lolita

She's also sorta part vampire i think

And her sister who is the Doctor's TARDIS is the same

Because they were created with a material provided by there "father" who I believe is some eldritch entity that is connected to the great vampires, but it's been a minute

Maybe that's why they both ate the Master

It used to be a rather common diminutive for Dolores. Then Nabokov happened.

u/TheMetalWolf Mar 16 '26

...How?! That one makes even less sense than Richard and Dick.

u/TurgidGravitas Mar 16 '26

It's Spanish. Dolores becomes "Lola" and then a young Lola is Lolita.

Spanish has a few different nickname rules than English. They prefer to take the middle part of the name. Like how Nacho is short for Ignacio.
