History
The Fistigons are weaponized high tech gauntlets created by famed scientists Victor and Janet Stein of The Pride.[2][3]
Verison 1
After witnessing their parents sacrificing a young women, the Runaways visited their parents' houses trying to find evidence against them.[4] In the Steins secret laboratory, Chase Stein found the Fistigons and the X-Ray Specs.[2] With practice, Chase began to slowly learn how to more effectively use the Fistigons.[3][5]
After accessing the Marine Vivarium, Chase was attacked by security golems.[6] Too weak to continue on to face The Pride, Chase offered the Fistigons and X-Ray Specs to Alex Wilder, who later betrayed them all.[7] The gauntlets were destroyed when the Gibborim killed Alex.[8]
Version 2
While stranded in 1907, Chase stole Yorkes' timemachine planning to retrieve Gertrude Yorkes.[9] Unable to take Gert from her seemingly happy life, Chase instead secretly visited his parents' workshop and stole another set of Fistigons and X-Ray Specs.[10]
In the Malibu House, Chase found a matching pair of Footstigons.[11] Using the combination of rockets on the Fistigons and Footsigons allows Chase to fly similar to Iron Man.[12]
The Fistigons were brought with Chase when he, Nico Minoru, and fourteen other super-powered adolescents were abducted and brought to Murderworld by Arcade.[13] The Fistigons were briefly integrated into the Darkhhawk Armor when Chase became "Chasehawk" with the Darkhawk Amulet.[14]
Capabilities
The Fistigons are equipped with several offensive weapons including:
- Pyrokinesis: The Fisitgons can shoot out flames and construct the flames into various shapes or patterns.[15][16][5] The Fistigons do not appear to require fuel or power sources.
- Electrokinesis: The Fistigons can release some type of electrical blasts.[15][17][10][11]
- Projectile Launchers: The Fistigons can launch missiles.[10]
- Flight: When paired with the Footstigons, the Fistigons appear to be capable of flight.[12]
- Concussive Blasts: The Fistigons can emit concussive energy blasts.[18]
