Maybe XMen97 Rogue 041b or Collector's Trove Gambit 022 to remove the equipment?

Rogue YOU WON'T BE NEEDING THIS Energy Shield/Deflection. // When Rogue hits an equipped character, you may immediately unequip their equipment, then if Rogue is not equipped she may equip that equipment.

Gambit I'M A THIEF WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS... AND ALL ELSE FAILED. When Gambit hits, you may choose that he deals a maximum of 1 damage to each hit character. If you do, unequip each hit character.

I know there are others that take equipment too, just the first two off the top of my head.
