Thor's Gauntlets

Appearance
A pair of iron gauntlets with soft leather padding inside. at the back of the gauntlet's hand is an iridium piece that acts as a power receiver.

Creation
Exact unknown. Shown to be as old as the legend of Thor. Later stored away separately, with the left in a temple at the bottom of the Mediterranean (nicknamed Niflhiem) and the right in Bhogavati (located along the coast of Thailand).

Collection
A lucky explorer once managed to get down into Xibalba, having managed to acquire both gauntlets. Fortunately, Agent Aden Taylor was also present. After a short chat that revealed, the explorer relinquished the artifacts, surprising Aden with his acquisition of Thor's Hammer. The pair then continued on to the location of Thor's Belt, where the Agent allowed the explorer to briefly use the three artifacts at once, before leaving them in Aden's possession.

Abilities
The gauntlets, when worn with Thor's Belt, granted increased strength. As an interesting side note, they also shrink or grow to fit comfortably on any hand, essentially being one size fits all.

Thor's hammer cannot be used safely without them.

Connections
In the original Tomb Raider: Underworld game, most of each gauntlet crumbled away leaving only the iridium section, which only had a small charge before being recharged by the belt.

Thor's right-hand gauntlet had been removed from Thailand and stored in Lara Croft's home.

November 18 is the day the game was released (in 2008) in North America.
