What is the most outrageous power/weapon in comics?

What comes first to mind...

- Magic: the ultimate plot device. Really, there are a lot of open powerset plot devices out there (eg, power cosmic), but magic seems to be allowed the most freedom to do anything. I believe even Galactus once stated he feared magic or didn't understand it.

- The problem I have with the speedforce is this: while it is a good way to explain how speedsters avoid superspeed pitfalls (eg, inertia, friction, relativistic effects), it also involves apparently arbitrary abilities (eg, speed stealing: I guess someone thought moving fast w/o limits wasn't enough of a power), and it is applied in self-contradictory fashion. Case in point: if the speedforce protects from relativistic effects, how does Flash generate an "infinite mass" punch? And even if he can "selectively" apply relativistic protection, 1) how does that keep his body in one piece; and 2) why doesn't his fist become a black hole? Clearly, the speedforce is being pushed to become another open-powerset plot device.

- Female counterparts to male characters simply for an "equality between the sexes" thing. Stop it. Just make original female characters.

Seconded, or more specifically, spellcasting that's not giving limits.

A mage with spells that can do X, Y, Z is fine, or where there's a total power limit, but authors use it to make stuff up even more-so than they do other hyper-flexable powers.

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 [b]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. [/B]

The fact that she killed Ares was stupid. Very stupid.

I'm not a big fan of WW either, does that make me sexist?

Alot of wonder womans feats

No, but that doesn't change that a lot of people seem to give her a bum wrap and list stuff that's effectively "I don't like that she can do powerful stuff that other strong characters also do."

I mean, just look at Colossus-Big C's comment. It's so vague.

Killing Ares? Sure! That's specific! The Outrageous part is clearly visible! In other words, it's the kind of example other characters are getting.

But then you get... "And Wonder Woman.. 'cause she's strong..." type comments. That just comes off as major character bias.

and she once fought gods while she lost all her power just because of her skill

Ah, specific! 😄

I was questioning Hulk's "infinite" anger the other day. For instance, if I was mad enough to kill another human being...how is it possible that I could become any angrier? Anger levels should just plateau after a certain point...lol.

But yeah the biggest problem is the crazy weapons they keep giving her to try to make her interesting

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?

Well, I will match you and ante up with Shoko's or H1's Superman.

Wonder Woman's ability to beat men in her books.

I only hate WW's hardcore fans really.

People who prefer female characters to male characters. Obnoxious feminism...
