Gauntlet

The Gauntlets are Helia's weapon. It first appears in Season 2 and reflects his pacifist personality.

Appearance
They are laser string gun with glowing yellow rope which extends out for long distances. The gloves themselves resemble the gloves found on the traditional Red Fountain uniform but there are distinctions. The knuckle pads have thin wire-like lines that extends from the base of the knuckle pads to the center of the hand. And instead of the rectangular hand pad, it is an inward-curved, skinny rectangle.

They are actually compartments for the two types of restraints he has: one rope and four strings. The rope's compartment is the inward-curved rectangle and the strings are in the wire-like lines. The strings also provide electricity to stun and incapacitate opponents. The restraints have varying lengths and can be detached.

Season 2
He first used it to restrain Gregthroat as it was trying to attack Flora. He appeared to know exactly where to restrain the monster because it froze when the strings held it. His knowledge in this surprised Sky and Brandon but when Helia released the restraints, he irritated Stella but Tecna assumed it was because the restraints had a limit. However, this demonstration helped the Specialists and Winx find a way to restrain it again and buy them time to find Gregthroat's weakness: the throat.

It is seen again in Flora's daydream where Helia saves her again the same he did when they first met.

Then, during their rescue mission (Bloom had been kidnapped by the Avalon imposter for Lord Darkar), Helia used it to pull in the damaged crow Sky was piloting as it was damaged in-flight. There was difficultly as the aircraft was still in flight, swaying unsteadily, and heavy, it even pulled Helia towards it as he was trying to pull it back into the Hawk. Eventually, Helia was able to pull it in successfully and did not appear to be exhausted, rather, he smirked. This feat demonstrated his level super-strength. When he and the Specialists landed on Darkar's Fortress, he had to fight against his minions and realized that these minions were just distracting them. Then when one of the monsters lunges for him, Helia incapacitates it with electricity.

Season 3
When Timmy finally located Tecna (who was presumed to be deceased since closing the Omega Portal on Andros) in the Omega Dimension, escaped criminals approached him and his friends with ill intentions. Timmy demanded to know where the girl (Tecna) who had the transmitted was and that set the criminals off and they attacked. Helia dodges the one charging at him then uses his strings to pull him off his feet. However, he was taken by surprised and knocked unconscious by a boulder then imprisoned in an ice cell. Unlike his friends, the criminals did not steal his gloves. When he, Timmy and Brandon are freed from their cells by Tecna, Bloom and Sky, he helps by time for Bloom and Tecna to find Stella, Flora, Musa, and Aisha who had fallen into a deep crevice with an ice snake. He fights alongside the Specialists and uses the glove to fling a criminal away from the main battle.

He used it to tie up the hovercyclists so that his friends could use their hovercycles to sneak into King Radius's wedding to Countess Cassandra. The last time he uses it was on Valtor's neck to pull him away from the girls but Valtor removed it.

The Shadow Phoenix
The glove is seen in Flora's daydream when she dreams of him saving her from a monster.

Trivia

 * Although both gloves have the same function and Helia has used both, he seems to favor his left-hand which could imply that he is left-handed.
 * There was an error when he restrained the hovercyclists, he was not wearing his gloves but the strings can be seen coming from his hands.
