The Spear in the DC Universe


The Spear was introduced to DC continuity in February 1977 in Weird War Tales #50. In the DC universe the relic seized by Adolf Hitler was indeed the real Spear of Longinus. It has a history every bit as remarkable as Hitler believed and it possesses real — and exceptionally formidable — mystic powers.

The DC universe Spear is somewhat different from the various real-world relics. It is usually depicted as a short spear, perhaps four feet long, rather than a hasta. It is also intact: the spearhead was never separated from the shaft, and recent evidence suggests that the Spear cannot be damaged or destroyed by any conventional means.

The Spear’s Powers


The exact nature and extent of the Spear’s powers remain ambiguous. However, even those with no formal magical training have been able to use it to produce world-altering effects. Aside from the Sphere of Influence, Adolf Hitler used the Spear’s power to summon a flight of real, tangible valkyries and, in April 1945, nearly succeeded in unleashing the devastation of Gotterdamerung onto the Earth and bringing about the end of the world. Others with no mystical inclination have nearly succeeded in destroying the Spectre, one of the DC Universe’s most powerful magical entities, by simply using the Spear as a melee weapon. The Sphere of Influence itself was an extremely formidable spell, capable of automatically controlling the minds and wills of the most powerful metahumans and sorcerers at tremendous distances without even requiring the conscious volition of the Spear’s wielder.

Evidence strongly suggests that the Spear cannot be destroyed, at least not by any conventional means. The Spear has three times survived being accelerated to the escape velocity of the Earth (each time it was thrown into space), and its recent disposal by the Sentinels of Magic indicated that even being thrown into the sun did not actually destroy it (although it does obviously make it more difficult to retrieve).

Anyway why does it bother you, these days you spend most of your time on off topic so its not like u can say hes contributing to pushing all the good threads off the first page. No need to be so harsh just chill out. Let the mods sort out.
