Thor's Gauntlets are one of the artifacts collected by Lara in Tomb Raider Underworld. She comes across the first one in the Mediterranean level, after fighting the Kraken.

Legend has it that Thor needed the gauntlet, along with a mythical belt to wield his hammer Mjölnir.[1] When she first finds the gauntlet, Lara notices that it looks a bit like an ordinary glove. However after she touches it, the glove falls apart, leaving only a small piece intact.[2]

When she place it in her hands, four retractable pieces connect around her hand and activate the glove. After finding it, Lara is knocked down by a mercenary who then steals the artifact. Lara follows him to a cargo ship resting on the Mediterranean, where she runs into two of her previous nemesis. Lara gets the gauntlet back and heads to Thailand and learns that there's another gauntlet, and her father hid it under her manor in England.

However in the game,the gauntlets seem to work more as insulated gloves to the hammer's powers,rather than sustainig its weight,as Lara can easly host it in her backpack,proving it is not so heavy.

Lara uses them several times in the game to move heavy objects,some of the entrances and exits of temples Lara visits can only be moved with the gauntlets.
