[x] Australian drop beads. A bag of endless marbles that animate for 15min after being dropped to the floor that try to pelt and trip anyone not keyed in. Adorable tiny roars
[x] Flash mob. Old timey photographic lightbulb that creates temporary Prohibition Era mobster minions.
Rootbeer float. Small football sized blimp with a powerful high pressure rootbeer cannon

I'm not, really; it's subject to the whims of Celes, Evelyn, Skye, Upgrade, Science, and (somewhat) their Beyond audience. The X is just to make them easier to track OOC.
Upgrade loves this idea too much to not let it happen.
A variant on this will most likely be added.
Notably, the "costume" for a given identity can be something as simple as a hairband associated with it, but not the rest of your usual equipment.
Variants on these may be added.

EDIT: There have been a bunch of good ideas and people seem to have gotten the general idea, so I'm going to stop with the individual replies in favor of actually revamping items. :3

Shades
Sunglassesthat don't dim light for your eyes, but instead for the surrounding area. Can be worn as regular shades.
Flashy Shades (Upgrade)
Referencing the neuralyzer from MIB, this adds a similar effect as the Impenetrable Disguise to the Shades, but works by making any observer unable to remember details that could compromise the secret identity. When someone tries to look past your disguise, they only remember a bright flash.

[X] Pocket Medic: Originally a first aid kit, this device applies a heal-over-time effect to the person carrying it.
[X] Kite: This distracting drone leads its targets on wild goose chases, back and forth around a small area of effect. It may or may not be accompanied by the Benny Hill theme.

[X] Portable Hole: Stuck in a vault and you need to get out? Use this portable hole to slip through the walls!
[X] Ice cream cone: This metal cone can make ice cream on demand the same way Evelyn's snowball gauntlet can make snowballs on demand. Also does soft-serve. Also does any of the above at high speed.

Double pun: It's a sword that is so sharp that looking at it cuts you.

That's a very bad idea unless we can exempt ourselves from it.
[X] Boxing Gloves: With these gloves, you can make boxes.
[X] Skeleton Key: It's a skeleton key. It works for any lock you bring it to.

We are putting out cool puny ideas not practical or useful ones. Powergaming them to be practical or useful comes later.

You can do what you like, but I don't like double-edged swords.

We just have to ignore it. It would allow us to be very stealthy.
Edit: Also you have made it a triple pun.

The Guideline of Energy Conservation
This device allows one to add or subtract the amount of energy in a given place. At the end if the day the amount added or subtracted should sort of match (it's a guideline after all).
Break-Fast See-Real
This innocuous bowl of 'seereal' lets one break things very fast to see the inside of things. Usable as a quantum microscope, disintegrator or even fission reactor!

[X] Moment of Inertia: A stopwatch which temporarily negates the effects of gravity and friction on the user. This also negates fluid drag, since that can be considered a kind of friction. Collisions with solid objects stop you as normal.

Well now I just want to continue the mythical swords thing, only while also making puns or obscure references of some sort, and expanding the sample size away from swords.
This was a weird mix of puns, random mythological facts I found odd, and assorted jokes. I may do more later. And now, some very weird things I found while researching these that I saw no use for:
Nábrók - Wikipedia
Lyngurium - Wikipedia
Mythology and folklore are f*cking weird.
Durandal: A blade that can cut through any stone with ease, and which is (nearly) indestructible. Can also be flattened and rolled up for convenient storage.
Joyeuse: Instead of cutting, this blade of light induces feelings of joy in the target, proportional to the size the wound would be if it had a cutting blade. Changes color every 48 minutes.
Ancile: A buckler with the ability to conjure up to 11 less durable, floating bucklers to block incoming attacks.
Ajax's Shield-type Bouncing Bessie: Produces seven spherical cows coated in bronze, stacked on top of one another.
Sword of Damocles: A huge, hovering blade that, when activated, hovers over a person's head, and induces fear and anxiety.
Mystletainn: Seemingly carved from supernaturally hard mistletoe wood, this sword specializes in penetrating Power-based defenses. If dropped in a body of water, it will be eaten by a fish, which will then attempt to bite the next fishhook it sees.
Gram: A sword that weighs precisely one gram, however gram is currently defined.
Thyrsus: Pinecone tipped staff that induces drunkenness in those it strikes.
Gun-gnir: A gun that fires regenerating, homing spears.
The Loons of Celtchar: A small, egg-shaped device that, when thrown, produces a number of flames shaped like loons to attack nearby opponents. The "egg" must be kept wet, or else the loons come forth and attack indiscriminately.
Vel: A javelin that can convert trees (or wooden objects?) into an equivalent mass of peacocks and/or roosters.

[X] Deck of NOPE!
Seemingly ordinary deck of cards with clockface at the back and nothing on the front.
When used, each card can time displace an entity or object from anywhere between 5 minutes to 24 hours (depending on mass and volume) into the future allowing the user to nope out of the situation, more cards used increases time displaced (up to maximum of 24 hours).
Full deck used will displace an average sized suburban 2 story house and everything inside it for the minimum duration.
Once used, cards will recharge and return to the deck holder after a week.

Shot-Gun:
A bizzare pump-action breech-loading rifle that shifts to accept almost any used bullet round or casing, which it is capable of firing as if it was entirely whole. Any shots fired will inevitably, through a series of increasingly absurd rebounds, come back to hit the gun itself with the same force it had upon firing. Due to it's sturdy construction, the rebounds won't severely damage the gun as long as the calibre is kept low, and it's not any less likely to hit it's first target than a non-powered gun of it's type would be. With some clever maneouvering and some reinforcement, you might even be able to make the bullet bounce back into the breech for another shot.

All Your Base: Cyberwar suite optimized for attacking large installations.
Shot-Gun: Less-lethal ranged weapon that induces intoxication in its targets. Bottoms up!
The Music of the Spheres: A situational-awareness and limited telekinetic suite manifested by a complex, hyper-resilient audio-frequency pattern that remains resonant in nearly-arbitrary atmospheric and acoustic environments. It can perpetuate itself in anything but actual vacuum, picking up energy from convective currents and small breezes, but it's most powerful in rooms that "sound good" or have strongly-ordered wind or sound.
Nope: Nopes. Nopes things away, nopes out of bad situations, nopes through bad news lalalalalalalalalala, nope nope nope nope nope.
