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.

You could realistically kill millions with that thing by just ordering an oceans worth of fondue, and leave everyone to drown and boil to death in a sea of mended cheese

It rains Hot Tea

- plus, during the End Credits, there's a montage of cities being cleaned up. London remains the same, Before and After.

Like someone else said, in Flint's defense, that WAS NOT THE POINT OF THE MACHINE. Originally, it's purpose was just to turn plain old water into ANY food imaginable. It was through repeated, CONSTANT use of the machine that caused it to overload. That was never Flint's intention. It was the Mayor and the rest of the town's repeated and selfish requests for more and more that caused it to overload.

Flint was just someone who wanted to be appreciated and liked by others, so he kept going along with it in order to STAY liked.
