== [[Comic Books]] ==
* [[Batman]] is an obvious example. They're often more utilities than weapons in the comics, but the movies and videogames in particular show off an impressive number of traps and gadgets to supplement badguy nabbing.
* [[Cable (Comic Book)|Cable]] [[Superhero Packing Heat|tends to]] [[Up to Eleven|like this trope]] (''[[Beyond the Impossible|a lot]]''), seeing as the bulk of his telepathic and telekinetic powers are used to keep his [[Body Horror|techno-organic virus]] at bay. His ''[[Blessed with Suck|real]]'' superpower might as well be "[[Badass Normal|carrying lots of firearms]] and [[Required Secondary Powers|somehow being able to keep his spine intact]]". Oh, and [[Rob Liefeld|pouches]]. [[Author Appeal|Sweet]], [[Overly Long Gag|delicious]] [[Never Live It Down|pouches]].
* [[War Machine (Comic Book)|War Machine]] from the ''[[Iron Man]]'' comics is a [[Powered Armor]] version of this trope (as especially seen in the [[Iron Man (film)|film version]]). Note that the regular Iron Man armor is already stuffed with miniaturized weapons; the War Machine suit is overflowing with them.
** The same is also true of his incarnation from ''[[Iron Man: Armored Adventures]]'', if not moreso.
Line 76:
== [[Video Games]] ==
* A [[Dead Horse Trope]] in regards to protagonists of pretty much every first- or third person shooter released before [[Halo]]. Limiting the total amount of weapons a protagonist can carry has become somewhat widespread since then to the point when having a [[Hyperspace Arsenal]] is uncommon enough to stand out.
* In ''[[Dissidia Final Fantasy]]'', as a [[Mythology Gag]] to ''[[Final Fantasy II (Video Game)|Final Fantasy II]]'''s [[Love It or Hate It|unique]] experience-gaining system, Firion (pictured above) wields virtually ''every'' equippable weapon from that game ([[Cool Sword|a sword]], [[Knife Nut|knives]], [[The Archer|a bow & arrow]], [[An Axe to Grind|an axe]], [[Blade on a Stick|a lance]], [[Magic Wand|a spellcasting rod]], and [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me|a shield]]) in honor of his [[La Résistance|crew]]. Unlike the other heroes, [[Hyperspace Arsenal|who summon and disperse their weapons at will]], Firion decides to be a man and wear 'em all at once. [[Mighty Glacier|He's the slowest of the Warriors of Cosmos]], [[Justified Trope|and understandably so]].
* [[The Legend of Zelda|Link]], especially in his [[A Link to The Past|ALTTP]] incarnation. Official art for the game shows him carrying all of his equipment on his back.
* ''[[Warhammer 40000]]'', as if the image for the [[More Dakka]] page wasn't a good [[Memetic Mutation|enuff]] illustration.
