A wheelchair is a chair on wheels. It is designed to assist people who cannot walk by themselves, either through a permanent injury, or through a temporary one. Hospitals readily keep a supply of wheelchairs on hand for all of its patients, regardless of the reasons for their admission. Depending upon the owner of the wheelchair, some of them might be tricked out with all sorts of cool accessories, even weaponry.

Wheelchairs of note[]
Barbara Gordon's wheelchair[]
Charles Xavier's wheelchair[]
Niles Caulder's wheelchair[]
Niles Caulder used several different wheelchairs. For standard conveyance, he used a traditional manual wheelchair. However, he also possessed a specially designed mechanized carrier of his own invention, which he referred to as his Action Chair. This chair could move at accelerated speeds, had increased maneuverability and even an articulating claw that came out of a chamber on the anterior of the device. This came in handy when the Chief nearly fell to his death through a trap door in the Bug Man's Ant Hill. The armrests of the chair could lift up revealing air-jets that could blow back toxic chemicals in the vicinity, such as knockout gas. [1]
Harrison Wells' wheelchair[]
Spike's wheelchair[]
For a brief period in 1998, the vampire known as Spike suffered an injury that forced him to make use of a wheelchair. The wheelchair was manually powered and otherwise unremarkable. Spike eventually healed, but kept his recovery a secret from his rival, Angelus.
Notes[]
† - In the case of Harrison Wells, he was actually a villain named Eobard Thawne, who had been faking a permanent spinal injury, but was in fact perfectly healthy.
