Line 7:
Pretty much a [[Mad Scientist]] staple, but the fisted glove is also a trope of megalomaniacs in general, showing off their power.
 
Could also be an [[Evil Hand]]. When it's a [[Mad Doctor]] performing it, it might also include a [[Glove Snap]]. When the heroes do it, it's a [[Bicep -Polishing Gesture]]. Compare [[Milking the Giant Cow]]. Not related to a [[Victory Pose|Fist Pump]]. Not to be confused with [[Giant Hands of Doom]]. Also not to be confused with the [[Power Fist]]. Or the [[Angry Black Man|Black Power Fist]].

* Recent studies have shown that clenching one's fist in this manner does indeed increase one's sense of power and increase willpower. Especially if you're thinking evil thoughts while doing so.

* [[Benito Mussolini|Benito Mussolini]] loved to do this gesture during speeches [http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/9440/mussolini2.jpg photo]
