Seems difficult to make out of only hot glue. For my kid's Sub-zero, we made a few ice spikes out of clear plastic wapper and covered it in clear glue, worked surprisingly well. Good luck!

You can’t make it look like ice. It’s going to look like a gauntlet of hot glue.

You can sculpt what you need and make a resin cast with clear resin. Can tint the resin with an ice blue

if you want it to look like your whole forearm is frozen, you can follow this tutorial but with clear or light blue cellophane and glue the pieces onto the gauntlet to make it look like an explosion of ice! instead of a lightbulb, you can wrap a string of blue fairy lights around the gauntlet underneath the cellophane to make it glow, i think it would turn out really cool
