The Mightiest Weapons In The Marvel Universe, Ranked

This article was originally published on worldtravelling.com and has been republished here with permission.

The Marvel Universe is full of hazardous weapons and relics, so we have compiled a list of the most powerful ones to ever grace the pages of a comic book! Comics are recognized for being wild, and part of that glee stems from all the small trinkets that help propel a story forward or heighten the excitement of a battle. Indeed, certain comic-book weapons, such as the Infinity Gauntlet, have become well-known as a result of their appearances in The Avengers film saga. Although all weapons are inherently helpful, not all weapons are created equal; some are more powerful than others. Despite this, there are a slew of other goods that have yet to achieve the same level of fame.

25. THE EBONY BLADE

Dane Whitman, also known as the Black Knight, has served as the head of Ultraforce and has appeared in various Avengers versions. Whitman rules Weirdworld, an unearthly realm, but one constant is that he always wields the Ebony Blade. He uses his sword-fighting talents as the Black Knight to combat evil in all of its manifestations. The Ebony Blade was forged from a Starstone meteorite by the wizard Merlin.

Following that, a series of events transpired, culminating with Merlin enchanting the blade, rendering it unbreakable and capable of slicing through anything other than adamantium. The Blade can absorb energy, and it transfers its wielder through space and time, allowing someone like the Black Knight to travel across time if he so desired. Despite the sword’s impressive skills, the Ebony Blade is cursed: when the sword is used to spill blood, the user gets corrupted and finally loses all mental stability.

24. DOCTOR DOOM’S TIME PLATFORM

Doctor Doom, the antagonist of Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four, is always looking for new methods to expand his power, even if it means controlling the Earth. Doom is fueled by hatred and fury for the wasteful plebes and believes that no one should be able to match his knowledge and strength.

In the hands of a maniac like Doom, time travel is already perilous in and of itself, especially with the ways that you can collapse time and space if you make a mistake, but it’s amazing he hasn’t succumbed to the urge to rewrite the history of the universe. Doctor Victor Von Doom was feeling particularly imaginative one day and decided to construct a time machine. He’d usually use the time platform to steal Iron Man’s technical gadgets.

23. THANOS’ SPACE THRONE

If you’re going to be flying throughout the universe in a crazed endeavor to wipe out half of sentient life and take over the rest, it’s wonderful to have a chair to sit in and relax in after all of your hard work. Besides, even tyrannical aliens, like Thanos, the Mad Titan, require a way of transportation. In the beginning of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, an enigmatic Thanos sat atop his Space Thrones, issuing instructions to his minions. Thanos didn’t choose that particular throne for its aesthetic appeal, as it turns out.

The throne, in fact, is a part of comic book legend and should not be treated lightly. It’s only after a closer look that you realize it’s not just a fancy chair. The Space Throne can teleport, hop through dimensions, create severe protective force fields, and fire devastating energy blasts from the top of its frame.

22. THE M’KRAAN CRYSTAL

The gigantic pink M’Kraan Crystal represents “the end of all that is,” according to its makers, which is a long way of saying the crystal shouldn’t be interfered with. Nobody knows where the colossal Crystal came from and no one knows how it got there.

The Crystal itself appears to defy all known physical laws, as it has more surface area in its body than is physically feasible . A physicist’s nightmare, the Crystal contains an entire crystal metropolis that is shielded by the force field. A neutron galaxy is also found at the core of this jewel, serving as the nexus point for all matter in all realities that have existed or will exist. Finally, there are speculations that the Crystal’s heart contains a piece of the Phoenix Force. If the stasis field of the M’Kraan Crystal is broken, it will generate a universal black hole that will annihilate all.
