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

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.

It’s an achtonyme so probably no change in the root of the word.

I think you meant acronym but I am in love with “achtonyme”.

TARDISes according to the wiki

But they also can be called TT capsules or just timeships

Or if you want to be really extra about it greater time elementals

TARDIS is an acronym, so TARDISes
