Note : These are weapons , but the list does n’t really include super - beings that were apparently not designed as weapons in the first place . So no Unicron and no Galactus . Sorry !
10 ) Nova - Bombs ( Andromeda , Halo , tons of other things )
The mind of a “ Nova Bomb , ” that turn a Lord’s Day supernova , is ridiculously common in science fabrication , and it pretty much never receive one-time . Even the Hand of Omega , the ballyhooed weapon in Doctor Who , seems to be a form of Nova Bomb . In Andromeda , a Glorious Heritage course Systems Commonwealth ship carries 40 Nova Bombs , which use anti - gravity to make a sun explode . InHalo , the Nova Bomb is nine spinal fusion warhead encased in atomic number 3 triteride armour . There are alsoNova Bombsin several novel , including Heinlein ’s Starship Troopers and Haldeman ’s The Forever War .
9 ) The Lexx ( Lexx )
As the Lexxexplainsin an prefatory oral communication , “ I am the most herculean weapon of wipeout in the two world . I was grown on The Cluster which is ruled by His Shadow . The intellectual nourishment was ripe there . My captain is Stanley Tweedle . I flub up satellite for him . ” So yeah , the Lexx is sentient , but is still basically a weapon — and it sort of wipe out planets . The Lexx was originally develop as the ultimate deterrent for His Divine Shadow to keep the “ Heretic ” worlds in line .
- The Dakara Superweapon ( Stargate SG-1 )
Built by the Ancients , this weaponhas the ability to destroy all life on C of worlds at one fourth dimension , and can penetrate almost any ship ’s shields . It slim down all matter to its canonical structure , and the wave can propagate through an active stargate to attain everything on the other side . And that ’s before Ba’al modified the equipment so it could pass through every stargate in the galaxy at the same time , potentially wiping out every inhabited existence in the Milky Way at once . ( There ’s also the wormhole weapon system which John Crichton builds in Farscape : The Peacekeeper Wars , which has a similar kind of reach . )
7 ) The Little Doctor , aka Molecular Disruption machine ( Ender ’s Game by Orson Scott Card )
The M.D. gadget , nicknamed “ Little Doctor,”makes it impossiblefor any two atom to coexist in a molecule . The artillery creates a orbicular field within which this is the physical place , causing total death of the target . This gadget can penetrate the noncitizen ’ shields , make it the arrant weapon in our warfare against the aliens — and indeed , Endermanages to apply itto put down the noncitizen ’ homeworld . picture byZiwu on DeviantArt
6 ) Obliterators ( Heretics of Dune , Chapterhouse : Dune by Frank Herbert )
Also known as The Weapon . The Honored Matres exert these powerful projectile , set up from a spaceship — they combust the atmosphere of a major planet and then scorch the aerofoil . When the Matresuse the weapon against Arrakis , it fuses the planet ’s backbone into meth , and stamp out all life on the Earth’s surface , humans and sandworms alike . Somespeculatethat the planet killers of the Shadows from Babylon 5 work likewise to the Obliterators .
5 ) Warworld ( DC Comics )
Pretty much does what it says on the recording label — it ’s a whole planet - sized major planet - sea wolf , piloted by the maniacal Mongul . In original persistence , it wascreatedby the Warzoons , a race so warlike they had “ war ” in their name . And it ’s powerful enough to make whoever control it the ruler of an empire — unless they entangle with Superman , in which case it ’s not all that powerful . Brainac and the Cyborg Superman also aim into the Warworld - piloting biz , and at one power point Brainy turned Pluto into a new Warworld .
4 ) Wave Motion Gun ( Space Battleship Yamato , aka Star Blazers )
It ’s the weapon so annihilative , it can only be represented usingbreakdancing . The place battleship Yamato has the power to channel all the power of its undulation movement engine into a individual super - powerful eruption , strong enough to wipe out a whole foe fleet . It ’s so powerful , it leaves the ship powerless and adrift for a while after open fire .

3 ) The Sphere - O - Boom ( Futurama )
Say what you like about Hubert Farnsworth , he does know his super doomsday artillery . He ’s baffle awhole slewof them , but the Sphere - O - Boom ( also spelledspheroboomin some places ) is his favorite . It causes a spectacular flack , destruct the ship of the Scammers , who had seek to slip it . It falsify space and time , and destroys anyone not wearing a “ doom - proof platinum waistcoat . ”
2 ) The Doomsday Machine ( Star Trek )
I do n’t think we ever learned who builtthis machineor what power it , incisively — the mystery story is part of what makes it so ominous and awful . It ’s just a giant incomprehensible space Daucus carota sativa that run low around powder planets and using them as fuel . The Enterprise crew entertains the theory that it was build up for some long - ago interstellar warfare and then start aside , but we ’ll never know for certain . One thing we do know : It takes a whole starship , exploding inside the affair , to knock it out of operation .
1 ) The Death Star ( Star Wars )
You kind of have sex we had to admit this . The fully operational battle station that film out the defenceless world of Alderaan in a heartbeat . According to estimation , the upper range of the Death Star ’s power is 10 ^ 38 Joule , or as much energy as our own sunshine generates in 8,000 years . Plus it just bet flaming chilling , it ’s like a dead orotund water flea skull in outer space . And it ’s no moonshine !
