Which weapon would benefit Superman the most?

The Star Brand
Mjolnir
Power Gem
Power Ring (Black, White off limits)
Quantum Bands
Ruby gem of Cytorrak
Cosmic Control Rod

Power gem.

Ruby or Power gem

I'm going to say none of them. He really doesnt need s weapon, barring a plot device.

want to say ruby/mjollnir, but forgot if either one gives any defense against magic 😂

soo. powergem

The Starbrand, IMHO.

It would be extremely hard for just about any character (with a few exceptions) lower than trans-tier level to beat an unrestrained Superman even without any of these powerups. But, with the power gem, he could probably even beat skyfathers (like Odin) if he wasn't holding back. I'd wager he'd even give a well-fed Galactus a damn good fight. The power gem greatly amplifies the power that a character already has. So, Superman would hit much harder. Fly, fight, and blitz much faster. Would be much more durable and all of his other powers (heat vision, freeze breath, super hearing, etc...) would be greatly amplified as well.

I understand, its just, i dont see Superman as needing weapons/devices. He can get the job done, regardless.
I dont want to derail this thread, which promises to be interesting, just saying dont see the need for Superman and weapons.

You're right. Against most opponents he doesn't but against others whom he probably couldn't beat otherwise the power gem would help A LOT.

Gem of Cyttorak does though, it adds an incredible magical defense and the possibility for magical offense and whatnot.

In the hands of someone like Superman the effects would be devastating.

Given that Superman's next step in evolution so to speak is to become closer to H'el with regards to his powers something like the Starbrand or the Quantum Bands would be ideal for that.

Most other items would be good for him but they don't add as much variation bar Mjolnir.

Ruby of Cytorak imo. Takes away the magical weakness and now he doesn't have to hit anybody, just let them wail on him.

Ruby of Cytorak imo. Takes away the magical weakness and now he doesn't have to hit anybody, just let them wail on him. Makes it much better for pulling punches. Plus the secondary forcefield it gives can repel away kryptonite, plus a well advanced healing factor onto Clark's accelerated healing.

Isn't the writers protection he has a better weapon than all of them listed ?

He needs red pants and he should wear it on top of his uniform...

Ruby

Quantum Bands imo would be the best for superman

If it was classic Starbrand then Starbrand, although it would make his Superman powers almost redundant.

Otherwise the ruby gem. This would give him near total invulnerability even to his magic weakness, it should be able to handle his k-nite weakness and his red sun weakness, it gives him protection against his tp weakness, and it empowers him through magic removing his solar energy drain weakness by removing his dependency on solar energy. It also gives him the force field and unstoppability power. With his speed, flight, and all his other powers on top of this he would be hard to stop.

Superman's creativity with his power would allow him to use all of this weapons to their full potential.

But if I had to choose I'd pick Mjolnir's versatility or Power gem's amping powers.

Very well said

Why the hammer over the ruby?
