Original Destruction

[Zemalac]

I was thinking about superweapons recently. It seems to me that there are only a couple reused over and over in pretty much everything I read, watch, or play: that is, either the giant-laser-from-space or a good old-fashioned nuke. Sometimes the nuke is underwater causing tidal waves and earthquakes, sometimes it's in the middle of a city, whatever.

To make a long story short, there is a sad lack these days when it comes to original superweapons. Since I know there are plenty of aspiring evil geniuses on these forums, I thought I could turn to you guys to fill the void.

So then. Post some original superweapon ideas. Blow up planets or cities or whatever you feel like, just make it something other than the giant-laser or the nuke.

 

[TheBadass]

A giant gun that shoots laser beams.

Oh wait...

 

[Souplex]

A Chemeical that when exposed to oxygen starts a chain reaction turning the air around it into acid.

*Runs off to play metroid prime two to further appreciate the acid atmosphere idea*

A broadcast device that affects the rage center of the brain causing everyone to kill everyone.

A somewhat portable *able to be carried by a buncha helicopters* super air conditioner to drop frozen chunks of atmosphere on people.

Propaganda. Turn people against eachother the good old fasioned way.

Big noise machine. Make buildings collapse, make head explode, and generally have a good time.

Big microwave that works with the door open. Microwave cook stuff by exciting the water molecules in whatever they are cooking so it gets hot. Humans are lke 70% water. (not sure but it is at least 60.)

Giant vaccum like in spaceballs.

Mr. T

Stop me anytime.

I would put Megadeath to work, make them earn their name.
Actually, a good old nuke works fine, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
Really, I cannot top Professor Farnsworth, or a squad of psychic death tanks.

The best weapon of mass destruction I've heard of recently was in Read or Die. The bad guys composed a "suicide symphony". Genius. It worked, too. They made people kill themselves by playing it for them.

Or you could hire Doshin the Giant to sink the offending continent into the ocean.

Or you could boil a hole in the ozone layer and have the sun bake everyone.

Gray Goo.

This was always my personal favourite:
Catapult that catapults catapults

 

[John Galt]

Big ol' Tesla coil. Crank that thing up to eleven and you'll be knocking planes out of the sky and frying cars in no time. Or you could use an oscillator to shake a building to pieces(pretty sure Tesla came up with this one too).

 

[Rune342]

This came from a friend of mine, a sword that when swung shoots cars out that explode on contact with any solid object.

 

[Ace Jackson]

-Micro-lenses hidden in people's glasses that when looked through while staring at some sort of light source sends a subliminal message to the brain that makes people go crazy and stuff.
-A bio-engineered virus that changes people's DNA and turns them into mindless ape-things that you can use for a doomsday army or something.
-A bunch of microscopic pills hidden in people's drinks that dissolve upon digestion, and release a special chemical into people's excrement that stays in it for an extended period of time and is designed to cause a chain reaction of monumental proportions when enough chemical-poo gathers in the sewers.
-A chemical released into the water supply that melts people.
-Go back in time and kill your great great great grandfather. Time Paradox. Boom.
-Destroy all of the predators in the ocean, so that the ocean will become overpopulated with fish.
-Place a virus in the internet that sends out quick bursts of light on monitors that make people go crazy and commit suicide.

I got more, but my fingers are tired.

 

[Divinegon]

A gun that shoots Chuck Norris at people. You basically have the game won once you get that weapon.

 

[hem dazon 90]

two words, imp missles.

zombie virus

small robots that eat flesh

a giant thing that floats over a city sucking up matireals and producing masive amounts of planes,guns,and tanks.

a tracter beam to hold an asteroid above the earth and if they refuse me control of the earth ill drop it.

 

[mshcherbatskaya]

An spaceship that can grab and throw asteroids down the gravity well and smash the planet below.

 

[ThaBenMan]

Something like the headcrab warheads in Half-Life 2 - missiles that are packed with some horrible type of creature that are released upon impact... poisonous snakes maybe?

 

[MRMIdAS2k]

Or you could use an oscillator to shake a building to pieces(pretty sure Tesla came up with this one too).

he did, but it doesn't work.

They proved it on mythbusters.

 

[Mythbhavd]

Garlic Breath

 

[Frosk]

I like the idea of the Space Warriors from Cowboy BeBop, a retro-virus. Threaten to unleash a virus that will act upon the bits of dna that separate us from monkeys turning people back into monkeys and hold the world hostage with it.

I won't launch my missile from hyperspace, though.

 

[electric discordian]

An antipasta bomb, it would only be truly effective in Italy, or a place with a high percentage of italian immigrants.

Because when spaghetti and antipasta touch.

Boom

 

[Calobi]

The "alien" from Watchmen. Teleport it into major cities and just let its death throes kill people. Then claim you found out how to stop them, and rule the remaining terrified masses.

Hey, these ideas are great. Really strange, some of them, but great nonetheless.

Now for an idea my brother, my friend and I had a while ago.

At absolute zero degrees Kelvin atomic movement stops. That is, everything becomes absolutely still, even the atoms. If you had a switch that could do that to, say, a planet, you'd have the planet just sitting there because it can't move. It's at absolute zero. I was trying to figure out how I could scientifically create a stasis field for a planet, and this was what I came up with. Unfortunately, when you turned it off all the momentum that kept the planet in orbit would have vanished, so it would fall straight into the star at the center of the system.

So that was my original idea and sort of the idea that spawned this thread. Continue with yout thoughts.
