What’s the most powerful weapon in the sci-fi universe? How does a lightsaber in Star Wars compare to the energy sword of Halo? What about a Death Star vs Dr. Who’s reality bomb? And how do they match up with a real life nuclear bomb? Foundation Digital made this infographic for Fat Wallet detailing the top sci-fi weapons in history measured by their “energy of devastation in Joules.”

Piffil... A Stargate connected to a black hole and shot into a star can do the same thing.

I think there’s only one winner here. The “reality bomb” which would erase from existence everything from every possible universe....courtesy of the Daleks in Dr. Who.

A .38 revolver bests a light saber.

By far the Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator!

Grabthar's Hammer then? RIP Dr. Lazarus

Oh shoot I forgot rickmann was in that movie too...wow he was in a lot of great ones.

That Football bomb in The Mouse That Roared (1959)

I certainly do. Can’t think of a more powerful beam weapon off the top of my head.

I’d also nominate the Stargate as a candidate for ‘most powerful weapon’. In one episode, Sam Carter used one to blow up a star. In another, a beam weapon was shot through all the Stargates in the galaxy to destroy all the Replicators.

The Wave Motion Gun. [interested in seeing who gets that reference]

Game. Set. Match.

[hoagy62]

That was called the “Q-Bomb”. As I recall, it used an H-bomb to detonate it.

[Jonah Hex]

Going back to the Golden Age of Sci-Fi, I nominate Doc Smith's Planet Cracker from the Lensman series. Two worlds, with opposed velocities, made inertialess and moved on opposite sides of a target world. When the inertialessness was cut off... the three planets went squish rather spectacularly.

Imagine a set of clackers, with your member in between... (shudder)

[DiogenesLamp]

Merlin's Weapon from Star Gate SG-1. It can kill all the bad guys in an entire galaxy at once.

It's sort of like a "neutron bomb". It leaves the matter alone, it just kills "energy beings" referred to in the series as "The Ori."

[C19fan]

Which one is the weapon the hot queen of Sci-Fi or the thing on the table??? :)

[DiogenesLamp]

A Tardis in the wrong hands and the reality bomb.

Okay. I think that beats my entry.

[DiogenesLamp]

The thing on the table.

[Celtic Conservative]

Three I can think of:

1. The Dalek reality bomb- designed to blow up all reality, ever. (except for the Daleks, of course).
2. The Moment. Time Lord designed device which would destroy both sides (Daleks and Time Lords) At the end of the last great time war. It was sentient, and it could choose to work or not work based on its own judgement.
3. Marvin the Martians “Illudium Q38 Space Modulator”. From Bugs Bunny.

Data: She brought me closer to humanity than I ever thought possible, and for a time...I was tempted by her offer.

Jean-Luc Picard: How long a time?

Data: Zero-point-six-eight seconds, sir. For an android, that is nearly an eternity.

In the dark with a book of matches.

The Tar-Aiym Krang from the book of the same name by Alan Dean Foster.

for a description of it’s power.

And remember, the real ultimate power in the universe is imagination!
