What comic book "weapon" would you most want?

Lightning Strike · Post by **Lightning Strike** » Tue Jul 24, 2007 11:20 pm

If you could have any comic book weapon or object of power (excluding almost omnipotent items such as a cosmic cube or the Infinity Gauntlet), what would you choose?

For me, two come immediately to mind---Mjolnir (Thor's hammer) and a Green Lantern ring.

On the one hand, it would be awesome to have Mjolnir not only because of the power that the hammer itself holds but the power it bestows on it's owner as well, such as strength, durability, etc.

But I would have to go with a GL ring. I'd be able to do virtually anything I could imagine, and I have a pretty good imagination. I'd be able to fly and traverse space either simply by flying or through wormholes, teleport, turn invisible, time travel, form constructs, talk telepathically, create force fields, manipulating sub-atomic particles, use it as a universal translater, read minds, etc., etc.

Mjolnir would be my second choice though.

Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga.

Okay, okay... a more well-known weapon - how about the X-O armour? Better than IM's suit by far, and it's alive.

GEEK.

The Tensusaiga has the power to heal.

I guess the Heart of the Universe is out of play. Jubilee's running around in a pretty sweet armour in that new X-book. Maybe like that.

Side note - when did Jubilee get stacked?

Yeah, but that Wind Scar is one helluva offensive weapon!

It was only a matter of time. Kitty Pryde grew up, Jubilation Lee had to, too.

I kinda figured tiny cans were like part of her mutant power. When she lost the X, she... enhanced.

Pics? I am just curious as to what she looks like now, but not in some pervy way.

OK, maybe a little.

My copy of New Warriors #2 (the newest X-book) is in my storage unit.

Here's some panels from the upcoming New Warriors 3, though.

The Ultimate Nullifier (I'm homicidal and suicidal, just like Sabu!)

Just kidding actually, but the nullifier is an awesome weapon, used to it's ultimate effect in What If? Vol. 1 #32 by Korvac. I'm telling you, if you haven't read that issue, you're missing out.

Gotta be Thor's hammer.

The Tantu Totem (vixen's artefact to give her the abilites of animals - or simply humans at present...). I think it would be cool to fly, or then be really strong or what ave you.

Or some battlearmour/battlesuit (X-O, Iron Man, War Machine, Hardware - I am not too fussy).

Or failing that, Starman's Gravity Rod.

Or some Pym Particles.

Or the Black Hood's hood (Impact version).

That's a great issue! I love the What If? series.

Thanks. I don't get that book, so I'll have to check it out some other time.

I think you have it just about right when you say the Green Lantern ring. Being limited only to your imagination (and possibly the need to recharge it) is a pretty daunting ability.

Super speed? Check. Flight? Check. Oversized boxing gloves? Check.

I don't know that there's a better choice out there, for me.

That's two for a GL ring. Now, if we each had one, which one of us would win in a battle?

Manga/anime... you can catch the animated series on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim early in the mornings. It's a feudal-era Japanese fantasy tale with demons and the like. The Tetsusaiga is Inuyasha's sword, which transforms from a rusty and battered old katana to a huge, fang-like sword that can "destroy 100 demons with a single stroke."
