rdfs:comment
  • The user possesses at least one appendage that has a wide variety of different functions and can be used for many different purposes.
  • Often a character who is missing a limb will make the best of it by having a whole collection of artificial replacements, that get hot-swapped as the occasion warrants. At least as it applies to heroes, this is predominantly a literary trope, as viewers tend to find obviously artificial limbs unattractive. It's frequently associated with heroes who are older and/or more intelligent than average--they have to be older because they need to have had time to get injured, and coming up with the idea often seems to connote intelligence (or at least mechanical aptitude).

  • Often a character who is missing a limb will make the best of it by having a whole collection of artificial replacements, that get hot-swapped as the occasion warrants. At least as it applies to heroes, this is predominantly a literary trope, as viewers tend to find obviously artificial limbs unattractive. It's frequently associated with heroes who are older and/or more intelligent than average--they have to be older because they need to have had time to get injured, and coming up with the idea often seems to connote intelligence (or at least mechanical aptitude). Frequently, the limb uses Telescoping Robot technology to generate the tool from Hammerspace. When the replacement limbs are collectively more capable than an ordinary one would be, this becomes a kind of Disability Superpower. It can also include Arm Cannon, Blade Below the Shoulder, Swiss Army Weapon, Spider Limbs etc. Examples of Swiss Army Appendage include:
