    Could you do some more, please?
    the Uniter - Henopoios (ΕΝΟΠΟΙΟΣ)
    the Weak - Adynamos (ΑΔΥΝΑΜΟΣ)
    the Crippled - Apoplektos (ΑΠΟΠΛΗΚΤΟΣ)
    the Lame - Anaperos (ΑΝΑΠΗΡΟΣ)
    Ironfist - Well, this one is tricky. Keravnos had given an answer for that, saying it would be something like 'Ho echon sideran pygmen' (Ο ΕΧΩΝ ΣΙΔΗΡΑΝ ΠΥΓΜΗΝ) or 'he who has an iron fist' in Greek. Sideropygmaios (ΣΙΔΗΡΟΠΥΓΜΑΙΟΣ), which sounds a lot like it, isn't the same, since 'pygmaios' means 'pigmy'.
    Here. Note that last part.
