@sjmcc13 depends on the gauntlet's specs and abilities, the hero's abilities, and the world's rules.
maybe he's a hero who specializes in unarmed combat cause it's too hard to find more proper weapons that can endure his strength or just outright cause that's where his skills fall
and frankly, a lot of the "almost too OP" characters end up weaponless cause there's simply no point in carrying a weapon they'd have to replace after 1-2 fights, I can think of at least 10 series where the MC either prefers bare handed combat or just can't find a weapon that can endure the use they'd put it through, and a couple more where at least one major character constantly replaces their weapon for exactly that reason as well (MC doing that is admittedly pretty rare, upgrading existing gear and/or trading up, super common, but constantly grabbing anything between junk and mid tier weapons and making do with that and their innate skills, not so much)
