What is the most outrageous power/weapon in comics?

What's funny is that although the medium requires a certain willing suspension of disbelief, some things are just beyond ridiculous. Even for comics 😆

I think the Speed Force is the absolute best way speedsters can be 'reasonably' explained. Otherwise writers would have to come up with excuses for every single speed-related variable that exists, such as why Flash doesn't disintegrate when he strikes an object while running -- but instead they opted to introduce an extra-dimensional energy that not only fuels, but protects speedsters... T'was honestly a great idea on their part, imo.

On that note, I think the idea that Hulk's anger is infinite, and therefore his power is theoretically infinite is pretty outrageous. Wtf does infinite anger look like anyway? It's also odd that he can have these gargantuan boosts in strength without any noticeable increase in his overall size.

...But that could all be cleared up if Marvel were to introduce a 'Strength Force' concept. excellent

-cosmic armour

-the sword of superman

-genis-vell

-rick jones's bullshit character history for that matter

-omega-class mutations, primarily reality warping and massive tk/tp. ghey/lazy

-hotu

-toon characters

where is the supergirl scan where she is trying to move earth out of orbit while she is being watched by linda carter supergirl and rolling her eyes at the foolishness..

What is the most ridiculously unfair or overpowered ability or weapon in all of comics? It can be standard to a character or just something that has happened once or twice, it can also be an item that isn't necessarily tethered to a specific character... e.g. the cosmic cube.

My nominations would be...

-Juggernaut and his beyond stupid resistance to injury.
-Doom's power stealing.
-Doomsday's adaptation.
-Wonder Woman's... everything.

So, what do you think is the most ridiculous power/weapon/item in all of comics?

WW's everything? Wonder Woman gets so much more flak than male characters with similar ability sets.

At least chose one thing.

DC put so much effort in creating a strong female character that can hang with the "big boys" that she has become insanely overpowered. Not saying there aren't male characters who aren't over powered as well, in fact, that's the point of this thread... however, WW is so ridiculous that you can name pretty much any character (who isn't trans), and it wouldn't be completely out of the question that she could beat them in a fight or match (come close to matching) their feats.

WW's lasso is what is broken about her. Her natural powerset itself is pretty ordinary. Dont care much for the character though, should have been dropped with the silver age.

nah, I'm picking her... in general.

Now I'm not saying that's the point you're trying to make because I honestly don't know what point you're trying to make here.

Edit: Also we have a winner, PC Superman's powers in general:

In one panel PC Superman flies to another Universe and sneezes in space, destroying a solar system.

People often use that scan as proof of his strength (even his nostrils pack solar system busting power) but it can also be used as proof of phenomenal speed/the ability to traverse dimensions at will.

Marwash, why do you consider her feats ridiculous?

It's not sexist btw, there are plenty of female chracters i like, she just bothers me.

Singling out Wonder Woman when there are tons of other characters who embody the kind of outrageousness you described comes off as sexist even if there's no such intent behind it.

The most amazing thing about that scan is that he finds an uninhabited star system in another universe so he can sneeze in peace without destroying his own solar system instead of just going to middle of nowhere in vacuum to do it. He really was a a dick.

-Telepathic resistance deriving from "strength of will"

That one bugs me more than most. You see it used as an explanation for why the likes of Xavier don't easily shut down the likes of Hulk.

I think even the non super powered humans (Bats?) have telepathic resistance on similar grounds.

So if a guy has a problem with the WW mythos it = sexist? So I guess by that logic, all of the people that hate on the Bendis Luke Cage wank are a bunch of racists.

Superman's adorably cute smile and irresistible good looks.
