The Biggest, Baddest Super Weapon

[Harvey Two Face]

Hey guys I was just curious to know what in the whole DCAU is/was the biggest and baddest super weapon?

[Cypher Rage]

I havent seen every DCAU episodes, so I'd say for the DCAU it's the The Dark Heart or Amazo. (If you consider him a weapon)

[batsy2]

Annhilator

[JRP82190]

Doomsday

[Alph]

Not counting sentient beings, I'd say the weapon from War World. It could destroy a planet.

[Donomark]

Lex Luthor in possesion of Hawkgirl's Nth Metal Mace.

[Bones Justice]

The planet-destroyer in War Worldis a good one. But Green Lantern's ring apparently has the potential to do the same thing (In Blackest Night) and is a lot more portable.

I'm not sure if they count as weapons but Amazo, Brainiac, the Phantom-Zone projector, and Vandall Savage's time machine are all very lethal.

I think the ultimate weapon in the DCAU, though, would be the Anti-Life Equation.

I like both the Green Lantern power ring and Stargirl's cosmic staff, even if neither of them are that big.

That doohickey Luthor used in "A Better World" was pretty good since it managed to block the powers of 4 different species. I wonder how that thing would do against someone from New Genesis or Apokolips.

What does Stargirl's cosmic staff do? I seem to recall that it allows her to fly and shoot energy beams but nothing else. Is it really that powerful?

I forgot about that one, good call. That weapon must work on the target's brain somehow, since it could even cancel Green Lantern's power.

As I recall, Luthor said that Superman had that weapon now. Maybe they should have used it on Doomsday instead of sending him to the Phantom Zone. Of course, Doomsday would have a really hard time adjusting to "normal" life in society after his powers were removed. Could you imagine seeing his mug working the drive-thru at the local burger joint? Yikes. :eek:

[Harvey Two Face]

Thanks guys for that.

From what I've seen of it in the comics, it can manipulate energy, basically. I think that means it can absorb it and use it to aid the wielder of the staff. If someone used it to its full potential, that would make them pretty powerful.

Since Doomsday is made from Kryptonian DNA, shouldn't it be kind of easy to cancel out his power? Unless they messed with it so much Doomsday doesn't have the same power limitations that Superman has.

[Bones Justice]

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah, I kind of think that if Darkseid wants it, the Anti-Life Equation must be the ultimate weapon. He seems to already own all of the other nasty weapons that exist, if they are worth having. I have a feeling that the planet-destroyer from War World must not be capable of destroying New Genesis or he would have done that already.

Dunno, I didn't major in Biology. :D But it just seems to me that Luthor's ray-gun should be capable of cancelling Doomday's powers. Did they ever say if the effects were permanent? Or at least, irreversible? Anyways, I get the feeling that it was too powerful of a story-device so they never used it again.

[Aizen]

Eh, we don't know too much about the anti-life equation. I would say Annihilator. If you consider AMAZO a weapon then him.

Boom Tubes aren't weapons, though, just a means of rapid interstellar travel.

While it's far from the most powerful, Vandal Savage's asteroid gun was one of my favorites. It wasn't universe-conquering material, but it could certainly make a good-sized dent in any city he decided to aim it at. "A shame, really. I rather enjoyed Paris..."

As for which one was most powerful, I'd say AMAZO wins that award hands-down. He could copy any power/technology just by looking at it, and by The Return, he could take the best shots of the entire JLU without blinking. Any weaknesses he might have are going to be tough to exploit, seeing as he can read your mind.

The only weapons that could even come close to equalling AMAZO would be The Flame of Pytar in the hands of somebody like Luthor, and possibly the Anti-Life Equation.

The asteroid gun was cool, wasn't it? I wonder how the episode could have played out if not for the censors. Maybe they could have had Vandall taking out a few cities before the League could put a stop to him. :evil:

Didn't Amazo have another weakness in Wake the Dead? I seem to recall something but I don't have the DVD where I'm at right now. Something about it caused Amazo to head to deep space or something.

Otherwise it just gets depressing.

Didn't Amazo have another weakness in Wake the Dead? I seem to recall something but I don't have the DVD where I'm at right now. Something about it caused Amazo to head to deep space or something.He couldn't harm Solomon Grundy due to the Chaos Magic that had awakened him. It's a very specific weakness that I doubt many share, although "Destroyer" Darkseid could be an exception.

[Aizen]

Why Darkseid? I know he's all strong and all, but nothing compared to AMAZO.

[Bones Justice]

True. Though would the worst villains in history have been remembered if they had been stopped before they ever killed anyone?

The asteroid gun was destroyed by vigilantes (not the authorities) so there's little evidence against him (the ground operations were disguised as a peaceful operation). His other two plans were foiled in such a way as to never have occurred. Fortunately, he was turned over to a sovereign country that can do pretty much what-ever they want despite the lack of evidence against him; but he still turned up yet again later.

So did that hurt Amazo, though, or did he just leave for some other reason? I really can't remember.

What about magic in general? Magic users seem capable of just about anything.


Why Darkseid? I know he's all strong and all, but nothing compared to AMAZO.

I think he means that Darkseid was also infused with magic after his resurrection. Lex Luthor used a combination of science and magic to revive him.

[Caswin]

So did that hurt Amazo, though, or did he just leave for some other reason? I really can't remember.Grundy was not only invincible but actually feeding off of his power somehow, forcing him to leave.

I think he means that Darkseid was also infused with magic after his resurrection. Lex Luthor used a combination of science and magic to revive him.Aye. I still wish they'd fought, I've got it all planned out...

[Aizen]

Aye. I still wish they'd fought, I've got it all planned out...
Ah man...if AMAZO is the loser, that would be embarrassing...

[Caswin]

Ah man...if AMAZO is the loser, that would be embarrassing...Alright alright alright, I've totally got it (and then I'll stop drifting).

AMAZO finally comes back from outer space. He's found some way past the Chaos Magic thing. He can beat Solomon Grundy without making him stronger. But now he faces Darkseid. An epic battle ensues (this is probably on New Genesis), with the Chaos Magic still working in Darkseid's favor. AMAZO is being worn down; he doesn't have the tools to beat him, but of course, he's been there before - so, mid-dramatic-face-to-face grapple, for the first time in a long time, he pulls the glowing-eyes power-copying trick, probably hoping to get the Omega Beams in his arsenal.
He is surprised, then, to get the Omega Beams fired straight into his power-receiving face. KABOOM! Fight over.

Bravo, Bravo...so...who won and who lost? :confused:...:sweat:

[Caswin]

Bravo, Bravo...so...who won and who lost? :confused:...:sweat:Darkseid won, AMAZO went boom, and I just kept on dreaming that it could actually happen.

[Aizen]

Darkseid won, AMAZO went boom, and I just kept on dreaming that it could actually happen.
Why would AMAZO go boom? You just said in your story that AMAZO learned how to defeat chaos magic...

[Caswin]

Why would AMAZO go boom? You just said in your story that AMAZO learned how to defeat chaos magic...Darkseid has more than Chaos Magic going for him. AMAZO was confident that he could now handle a Magic-infused Grundy, not Darkseid. The Omega Beams - specifically, fired into something explicitly not resisting any kind of energy - are most definitely not Chaos Magic.

Oh, and I just watched Last Son of Krypton on In2TV. In honor of its use in "Destroyer", I nominate the Daily Planet globe.

The planet-destroyer in War Worldis a good one. But Green Lantern's ring apparently has the potential to do the same thing (In Blackest Night) and is a lot more portable.Didn't the ring's beam have to hit just the right spot and cause some sort of volcanic chain reaction to actually achieve that effect? And that's assuming that the hypothetical destruction that never occurred anyway was physically possible (a reasonable assumption, since it fooled pretty much all of Oa). I don't think John can just point and shoot at the ground and blow up a planet.


I'm not sure if they count as weapons but Amazo, Brainiac, the Phantom-Zone projector, and Vandall Savage's time machine are all very lethal.

He probably can't. In "The Return", that blast against AMAZO Kyle was talking about took a bunch of Green Lanterns to do, and he said it would only take out half the planet.
