Some of the strongest figures in Marvel have wielded these weapons to become nigh-unstoppable figures capable of reshaping reality and destroying all of creation. These are the most destructive and deadly weapons ever used in Marvel Comics.
10) Mjolnir
One of the most iconic weapons in comics history, Thor’s hammer Mjolnir was forged in the heart of a star out of the enchanted metal known as Uru. As the primary weapon of the God of Thunder, Mjolnir grants its user the power to summon lightning, manipulate the weather, fly, teleport across dimensions, and absorb energy. Mjolnir can fly into Thor’s hand in seconds and is strong enough to destroy planets and battle cosmic entities like Galactus and the Phoenix Force. Mjolnir’s most well-known trait is that only those who are “worthy” are allowed to lift it and possess the power of Thor. This means that even regular humans like Jane Foster who are worthy can achieve godhood once they obtain Mjolnir.
9) Crimson Gem of Cyttorak
Crafted a thousand years ago, this gem holds a fraction of the extra-dimensional entity and Lord of Oblivion, Cyttorak. Created as part of a wager with other all-powerful magical entities, Cyttorak made it so that anyone who possessed the gem would become his avatar of destruction. The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak was obtained by Cain Marko, who became the unstoppable supervillain known as the Juggernaut. The gem gave Juggernaut infinite strength and durability. It’s been stated that when Juggernaut starts charging, there is literally nothing in the universe that can stop him. Although the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak only offers a fraction of the eldritch god’s power, it still allows its users to contend with the strongest heroes in Marvel, such as Thor and Hulk.
8) Odinsword
The Odinsword is the All-Father’s strongest blade and one of the deadliest weapons in Asgard. The Odinsword is so fatal that legend states that when it’s unsheathed, the universe’s destruction won’t be far behind. Given the sword’s destructive potential, Odin only uses it as an option of last resort. He tried to use it against the Celestials, but it ultimately proved to be ineffective against their regenerative abilities. Still, another version of the Odinsword was used by Thor to kill the Serpent, who is the God of Fear and Odin’s all-powerful evil brother who sought to conquer the Ten Realms.
7) Destroyer Armor
An enchanted suit of armor, the Destroyer was a weapon created by the combined efforts of Odin, Zeus, and Vishu to be employed against Celestials and other cosmic entities that threaten the Ten Realms. The Destroyer is made of metal that is said to be even stronger than Uru, the material Mjolnir is made of. The Destroyer can’t be worn in a traditional sense. Rather, it can be possessed by the life force of another being, allowing that being to control it remotely. The Destroyer is unbelievably strong, durable, and routinely defeats Thor and Hulk. It can also fire powerful energy beams capable of slicing Mjolnir in two. One time, when Odin gave the Destroyer Mjolnir, the armor’s power skyrocketed to the point that even Galactus ran away in terror.
6) Twilight Sword
Forged in the heart of a burning galaxy, the Twilight Sword is the weapon of the gigantic fire demon Surtur, who will use it to destroy Asgard and the Ten Realms during Ragnarok. The sword is incomprehensibly powerful, capable of cutting the fabric of reality, destroying the Rainbow Bridge, cleaving the World Tree Yggdrasil that supports the Ten Realms, and tanking energy blasts from Odin. Villains like Morgan Le Fay and Hela have tapped into the sword’s power to reshape all of reality to their liking. The Twilight Sword is also able to kill primordial elementals. And if it were to ever merge with the mystical Eternal Flame, Surtur will finally achieve his destiny of annihilating the Ten Realms and the universe.
