Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })In Real Life, being a wheelchair user can range from inconvenient to extremely limiting. (Not the chair part—if you need a chair, using one is very freeing—but the lack of arrangements to accommodate it.) However, in fiction, this need not be the case! Thanks to Trope Co.™ you can be the proud owner of one state-of-the-art super chair! Features include Rocket Packs Lasers, tasers, electroshocks, etc. Invisibility May or not be able to become a mech A subtrope of Disability Superpower and Cool Chair together. |

The Psilon in Master of Orion are humanoids with oversized brains whose bodies have atrophied due to generations of reliance on technology. They are generally depicted using hoverchairs in art, and some of the fluff mentions that their spaceships and tanks are effectively just extensions to these. | |

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak High School, Miaya Gekkougahara has a high-tech wheelchair, complete with a Monomi personal assistant and some nifty weapons to boot. She is slightly inconvenienced by her NG Code being "cannot turn right", though. Not that it would have mattered anyways. She's a robotic clone of the real Gekkougahara Monaca made after murdering her, which explains the heavy weaponry she and her wheelchair possesses. | |

Yes, you can build one of these in Dead Rising 2. Doing so requires an assault rifle, a wheelchair, and a car battery. Chuck (and later, Frank) can ride in the self-propelled chair and gun down hordes of zombies with the trio of guns strapped to its frame. It is arguably one of the best Combo Weapons, when you actually have the means to build one — it kills zombies at range with a single shot, carries 250 bullets, and occasionally uses a speech synthesizer to taunt everyone you come across. | |

One BattleTech novel has an in-universe action movie in which Subhash Indrahar, the director of the Draconis Combine's Internal Security Force, is portrayed as having a Transforming Mecha for a wheelchair that allows him to have an epic kung fu battle with the film's hero. The real Subhash didn't have anything quite so crazy, but he did have a built-in Short Range Missile launcher that he used to kill a traitor to the Combine as a Heroic Sacrifice. | |

Discworld: In Moving Pictures, Windle Poons's wheelchair has any number of outrageous attachments and functions (although none that increase his self-sufficiency, since he doesn't want to). It serves as a chariot at one point. Mad Hamish's wheelchair in Interesting Times and The Last Hero has Spiked Wheels and storage for all the Silver Horde's spare weapons. The illustrations for The Last Hero also show that to get it through the pack ice of the Hublands, the Horde fitted it with skis. |

Zodon from PS238 has onenote it's never been made clear whether he actually needs the chair, or just prefers it to something as mundane as "walking". Unfortunately, when it becomes damaged, the faculty will not allow him to repair it himself (rightly fearing that he would take the opportunity to weaponize it further). Instead, it is "repaired" by another student who makes it conform to her own, much different, tastes. | |

Alistair Smythe uses one in the 1990s Spider-Man: The Animated Series. His father only agreed to create Spider-Slayers for the Kingpin in exchange for the funds to build it — unfortunately, he didn't live long enough to see Alistair in it. It's so cool that he keeps using it even after he becomes a bio-engineered monster with working legs. It's still his preferred way of entering and leaving a battlefield. | |

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine: Averted both in production and, consequently, In-Universe. For Melora Pazlar, they wanted to reuse a hoverchair that they had previously built for an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, but unfortunately it wouldn't fit in the corridors of the space station sets. So they replaced it with a slightly zhuzhed-up version of an ordinary 20th-century motorized wheelchair, and wrote in a mention that Federation hoverchairs were incompatible with the Cardassian Artificial Gravity systems. | |

In the Halo series, the Prophets, though possessed of enough strength to occasionally stand up and walk around, have all become too physically weak to perform all of their required locomotion on their own thanks to generations upon generations of utter sloth, and thus depend upon their Gravity Thrones (large hoverchairs, sometimes with built-in energy shielding, defensive weapons, and/or short-range teleportation devices for good measure) — or the more compact Gravity Belts, for the less ostentatious — to get around. Thus, what were once Cool Chairs have developed into this trope instead. | |

X-Men: Charles Xavier's chair bounces back and forth between this and more conservative varieties Depending on the Artist and timeline: The antigravity models are generally established as gifts from his soulmate Lilandra (empress of a spacefaring alien race).note They're avians, so completely skipped over the concept of a "wheeled chair" when designing their own accommodations for disabilities. Taki Matsuya, also known as Wiz Kid, has the power of "technoforming", the ability to make metal morph into any machine he can think of. His own wheelchair is usually the closest thing at hand. It's usually a normal wheelchair, but he'll modify it to fly, shoot missiles, etc. |

The Flash (2014): A minor example with Harrison Wells's wheelchair. While it's a fairly high-tech one, it doesn't appear to do anything unusual, but we later learn that it functions as a charging station for the Speed Force. Clifford DeVoe, The Thinker, uses his to hover in the air to attack through tentacles and to kill people while absorbing their powers if they have them. |

A wheelchair is not a vehicle for personal expression!! PERIOD!" So they build him a custom one out of a recliner chair (with a TV, fire extinguisher, fridge, and photon torpedoes). | |

Gargoyles has Halcyon Renard, the aged CEO of Cyber-Biotics and father-in-law of David Xanatos, in a wheelchair that has weapons built into its arms and a retractable Pope-Mobile-style bubble to protect the rider. Justified in that this man made his fortune in the robotics industry and had no reason not to use his skills and wealth for his own benefit. Also, flashbacks reveal that he was once able to walk. Since businesspeople in this universe have no issue with sending mercenaries after each other, the weaponized chair may have started as a basic safety precaution. | |

Gundam: The franchise has several machines that combine this with Humongous Mecha, consisting of a humanoid torso on top of a tank or hovertank base. The best-known is the Guntank from the original series, but examples exist in several universes, including Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (the Tragos) and Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (the Union Realdo Hovertank). In Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, after Mikazuki severely damages his nervous system in the latter part of the second season, he's utterly unable to walk (and use one of his arms) without being connected to his Gundam, making it a pretty literal example of this trope. |

Recurring Kim Possible character Felix has a wheelchair tricked out with extendable robot arms, hover tech, video game-integrable AI, and more. One of the perks of having a genius roboticist for a mom. It's so impressive that Drakken and Motor Ed steal it so they can reverse-engineer its technology to use on a vehicle, which raises a complaint from Shego since even she thinks stealing a kid's wheelchair is stooping too low. | |

A Top Gear challenge involved modifying commercially-available off-road mobility scooters and then racing them against handicapped former U.K. military servicemen in a race to reach the top of a hill. James May chose a wheelchair and added stuff like an arm to hold an iPad (with satellite navigation) and a gravel dispenser for additional traction while going through mud. It was pretty cool for using in an urban scenario, but its utility off-road was a bit hit-and-miss. The servicemen won the race, by the way. | |

Acutely (and deliberately) averted when Batgirl Barbara Gordon became Oracle, actually preferring "normality" to show that she does not want special attention. Gail Simone even explicitly forbade anything like hidden missile launchers when taking suggestions for a new chair. The fanciest thing she's had are holders for her eskrima sticks. It's been explicitly stated a few times that she doesn't even have handles on her chair, as she'd rather get where she's going by herself than be pushed. Though this depends on who's drawing it. It helps that she's still as physical and active as she can be. However, it has still been played straight on occasion, such as in the 2002 TV series, which (to the dismay of actress Dina Meyer) gave Barbara a power chair rather than a manual one, and in Terry Moore's run, in which she did have a nonstandard wheelchair, modeled after the iBOT. | |

It is made with carbon-fibre and includes a "run away" feature, allowing Izaya to propel himself at a high speed (for good reason). | |

Frieza's iconic antigravity hover chair from Dragon Ball Z. Unlike most examples of this trope, Frieza doesn't use it because he is disabled, but to show how powerful and arrogant he is. In Father of Goku this is better exemplified, as Bardock tries to kill him and save Planet Vegeta, but Frieza only raises his finger while on the hover chair and blows the planet up without moving from it. | |

After Monty from Kindergarten gets beaten half to death by the Ax-Crazy janitor in the first game, he ends up confined to a wheelchair in Kindergarten 2. A wheelchair equipped with a laser cannon bigger than he is. Given what a Gadgeteer Genius he is, it's very possible that he installed it himself. | |
