So, as we noted earlier, X-Men Origins: Wolverine comes out today, and having already seen it we can safely say that young Wolverine’s bony claws are even weirder than the metal implants he acquires near the film’s end. Still, there are worse augmented fingers and cyborg hands to be stuck with, as our listicle of 6 Characters with Awkward Hand Appendages demonstrates.

Buster from Arrested Development

Metallic hands aren’t so great if you’re not a superhero.

Luke Skywalker’s Robotic Prosthetic Hand

We couldn’t get a video of it (because, you know, George Lucas is a rights hog), but in Return of the Jedi Luke has a robotic right forearm because his father symbolically castrates him in the previous film.

Edward Scissorhands’ Scissor Hands

What’s a sweet, gentle guy dressed goth-punk in the suburbs to do with monstrously dangerous hands? Maybe Edward could have followed another gentleman’s example…

Freddy Kruger of Nightmare on Elm Street

Don’t think about, contemplate or participate in sexual acts, you sex-obsessed teens, or Freddy and his knife-mounted gloves will come getcha!

Hammerhand from Thundercats

Undoubtedly our favorite viking pirate with a giant robot hand.

Mr. Hat (and later Mr. Twig) from South Park

This poor puppet served for years as Mr. Garrison’s externalized gay id.
