It is power and destruction personified. From the might of a sword plunged into a rock to the devastating blow that a simple notebook can provoke to someone very life, fictional power elements, artifacts and techniques are the reason some of us got into fiction in the first place.
So, what's your favorite? No strings. You can pick anything you want.
I will go with the Black Knight's Armor from Don Rosa's story. You do not wanna mess with a French guy who apart from being the best thief in the world, has an armor and a fucking sword full of Omnisolve.

Why destroy a planet, a galaxy, or a universe when you can destroy an entire parallel existence?

OldRat said:Gordon Freeman's crowbar. It is not, in any way or shape, affected by the laws of physics, and indeed defies any and every natural order of things. It only transfers energy in one direction, as evidenced by the fact that Gordon can endlessly smash anything with it without feeling even a slight discomfort. This is in stark contrast to an ordinary crowbar, which reverberates quite a lot after a solid hit. Subsequently, it's also unaffected by the ordinary laws of momentum, as Gordon never needs to recover at all from a swing, as if its mass didn't even exist for the purposes of following a swing with another. Even underwater, its movements remain completely unhindered. It shouldn't even need to be mentioned that no matter what kind of ordinary damage the crowbar is subjected to, it doesn't suffer at all. Its blows are also astonishingly powerful, nearing a gunshot.
It would seem that the crowbar doesn't even actually need to be returned back after swing, but due to some bizzarre perversion of all we hold true, can "loop" the blow for an endless barrage, blow after blow, without ever having to pull the arm back. This could imply the crowbar is some sort of a quantum device.
It can thus be surmised that the crowbar is from another plane of existence, not being affected by our laws of physics. It's quite likely that it isn't actually a crowbar at all, and simply resembles one to us so that our feeble brains wouldn't cave in under its impossibility. In the light of this, it could well be argued that the Resonance Cascade Event was not caused by any of the suspected reasons, but was actually due to the presence of the crowbar, which warped the expected results completely. Also, when Gordon attacks the Combine tower, his crowbar is seemingly obliterated into nothingness. However, this is not the case, as subsequentally his gravity gun is suddenly imbued with incredible power. It is well possible that the crowbar's reality-rending presence caused this.
Possibly the crowbar has some sort of a defensive mechanism against destruction, as it appears again later on. Due to the unique properties of the device, it would be impossible that every crowbar Gordon finds is a different one. This profound causality of the man always finding himself in the possession of the device is intresting, to say the least. Perhaps some outside force has seen it fit to outfit the One Free Man with such an awesome weapon of impossibility. Or, perhaps, the crowbar itself does as it desires...
Yeah I considered that, but though one is powerful, you need all 6 to get to galaxy crunching levels of power, which is a lot of hassle. Plus 4 of them were destroyed.insaneHoshi said:Blackstone fortresses, they literaly send star systems into supernove.
