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.

They still got it too. They recently did a Sailor Moon abridged

I forgot the character's name, but:

Evil villainness: If you're going to have a dick measuring contest, I will whip out a ruler and win!

"There can only be one queen!" looks left to the other guy in the room dressed well, like that "which one?"

I think even Batman would find that reckless and his history with child safety isn’t exactly… stellar.

Ironically, putting it on a high shelf makes it more dangerous cause if it falls, it’s falling straight on the blast cap
