Master Hand

Master Hand is a character from the Super Smash Brothers franchise.

Master Hand is the creator of the Smash Bros. setting and scenarios. He is the older brother of Crazy Hand.

Appearance
Master Hand is a disembodied right hand wearing a glove.

Personality
The creepy laugh and Final Boss status aside, the only time he did anything really evil was when he was under the influence of two far less Ambiguously Evil entities.

While he does use some dirty tactics in combat, so do some of the fighters, so that's all fair there. The fact he holds back normally when fighting them seems to be for the sake of both sides having fun with the battle. Afterall, a one-sided confrontation in an arranged fight is no fun for anyone.

Abilities
With wide-sweeping, hard-hitting attacks, this is his only possible fighting style when playable via glitch in  Melee, which, in a balanced match that avoids Game-Breaking Bugs, is guaranteed to be his downfall, what with his extreme attack lag, inability to move from one spot, and the fact that he's been beaten a million times by even the average player. This is a downgrade from when he's hacked to be playable in  64, where his attacks are quicker, he can move freely, and he's even capable of some short combos. In  Ultimate , he takes on 50 puppet fighters by himself near the climax of World of Light, with seven appearing at a time. Needless to say, Master Hand can make use of several large-range vicious attacks to assault all the fighters on stage at once without giving them room to retaliate.

Trivia

 * In  64, you could see the brim of the glove, but from  Melee  onwards, it just fades into nothingness.
 * Ultimate  pays tribute to a very popular glitch associated with him in  Melee  by having you play as him late into World of Light.
 * Appeared in  Kirby & the Amazing Mirror  as a mini-boss and later as a Dual Boss with Crazy Hand in the ninth level, Candy Constellation. They both attacked like Master Hand rather than having the variation they show in  Smash  (with Crazy Hand appearing as a sprite-flipped Master Hand instead of having his usual finger spasms), though.
