Powerful Items of the Comics Multiverse - DC

This will be 1 Part of a 3 Part List. In essence, the original list became unwieldy. Please read the entire description before commenting!!! These are not ranked by power level.

These are weapons and items of great power both magical and technological. Though powerful in and of themselves, the way the user uses them usually defines their greatness. Batman is a prime example of this statement.

I am not classifying the items by most to least powerful but loosely by type. Also, all metals or substances will lead the list because so many of the items are powerful because of WHAT they are made of instead of what they are. A nice combo I can think of is "Nth Metal Wolverine's Claws". Just a thought.

I also tend to keep item types together by character if they use more than one, Wonder Woman and Batman coming to mind.

List items

  • When Superman's native planet was destroyed, pieces of it became irradiated by the explosion, the result is Kryptonite. Contact with, or even proximity to Kryptonite can cause injury or death to Kryptonians.

  • Once-Green Kryptonite, turned gold (possibly irradiated by nuclear explosions). It can take a Kryptonian's powers away.

  • In Pre-Crisis continuity, red kryptonite was the result of a "flock" of regular green kryptonite from the destruction of Krypton passing through a strange, red-hued cosmic cloud. The debris that made it to Earth provoked effcts on Superman that were never replicated, as he gained an "immunity" from that effect.

  • A native metal of the planet Thanagar. The metal has the ability to negate gravity, allow the user super strength, protection from the elements, superior healing and protection from heat, cold, magic, and spirits.

  • In the DC Universe, Mother Boxes are small, sentient, supercomputers primarily used by the New Gods. They have many capabilities, including transportation and energy manipulation. As they're connected to the Source, they have countless applications.

  • The father box, an Apokoliptian version of a Mother Box, first appeared in the Orion series by Simonson in 2000. Darkseid’s former aide Mortalla presents Orion with an Apokoliptian Father Box when he seemingly died. This box communicated by going "ting!" rather than "ping!", and was designed to turn him towards Darkseid.

  • More an effect than an item...but anyways...
