A mace is a medieval weapon. It is basically a war club with an enlarged end similar to a hammer, but may be adorned with additional elements such as studs or spikes.
Electric mace[]
The character known as Dodger employs a unique mace which generates a field of electrical energy. He uses this mace not only for close-quarter combat, but also as a throwing weapon. After striking a target, the mace will automatically return to its wielder's hands (Dodger also appears to be able to "call" it). The means by which he acquired this weapon has yet to be revealed.
The Golden Mace[]
The Marvel Comics version of Hercules wielded the Golden mace, which was forged for him by Hephaestus himself. The mace is a single-handed melee weapon and is virtually unbreakable.
