I’ll start out of the top 10. Number 11 on the list is: Sword of Omens, Thundercats. The Sword of Omens slices, dices and allows the wielder to see anything, anywhere using “Sight Beyond Sight.” Also, screw the Bat-Signal, Lion-O’s got a Cat-Signal packed into this bad boy!
10. Mjolnir Thor
Hard to pronounce and harder to wield, Thor’s badass war hammer has pounded more flesh than Ron Jeremy. Verily. Only a very few can even lift it, but it can sure as hell lift you—Thor actually flies by throwing this thing then hanging along for the ride! ARM YOURSELF: Diamond Select Toys’ Mjolnir replica won’t let you fly, but at least you’ll be able to lift it. $350

9. Vorpal Blade Fables
Created by Lewis Carroll in his poem “Jabberwocky,” Little Boy Blue wields this legendary magic sword in his quest against the Fables’ Adversary in the comic. The Vorpal Blade will cut your foe’s head off right quick, and it always makes a “snicker-snack!” sound effect, to remind you that if you’re hungry, why wait? Grab a Snickers!

7. Cosmic Cube Marvel Comics
It’s a cube that manifests anything you want with a single thought. How can it possibly get better than that? Free roast beef sandwiches, an army of be-thonged Megan Fox clones, unlimited weekend minutes…all this can be yours. The only problem is that the Cubes themselves are sentient and can refuse your wishes.

6. Cap’s Shield Captain America
How does Captain America get a heavy-ass shield to come back to him when thrown? We have no idea, but we’re dying to give it a toss. Now that Cap’s dead, we’re hoping it shows up on eBay. And besides being indestructible, it’s got its own theme song! ARM YOURSELF: The replica shield from Factory X is decidedly not indestructible, but one does hang on Stephen Colbert’s wall! $350

5. Phaser Star Trek
Some look like hot-glue guns, some like Sharper Image massagers, but they’ll all melt your ass when set to “vaporize.” The Enterprise’s weapon of choice can stun, disrupt, shoot wide like a shotgun, disintegrate Tribbles…it’s got more settings than Captain Janeway’s vibrator (also called “Voyager”). ARM YOURSELF: Diamond Select Toys’ model is show-accurate and breaks from pistol form into a handheld phaser! $26
|
4. Lightsabers Star Wars
Sure, it’s an elegant weapon for a more civilized age, but it also decapitates enemies like a hot knife through Taun Taun poop. Few weapons can be identified by sound alone, but the hum, crash and swing of a lightsaber are the most iconic noises in sci-fi. ARM YOURSELF: Master Replicas’ made aforementioned ForceFX sabers for a ton of characters, but Vader’s iconic red one is our fav! $100
|
3. Iron Man’s Armor Marvel Comics
One day, we’ll all wear armor like Tony Stark. Until then, we pine for repulsor rays, flight, cluster bombs and any weapon with the word “Hulkbuster” in it. We hear he even has a “getting some” ray. Unlike Tony, we don’t need the armor in order to survive…it just feels like it. ARM YOURSELF: You can’t buy the armor anywhere (yet), but Factory X makes a serviceable helmet. It’s a start… $200
|
2. He-Man’s Power Sword He Man and the Masters of the Universe
There are plenty of powerful objects on this list that let you shoot lasers and whatnot, but only the Power Sword has the power to bodily transform you (and your pet tiger) from whiny royalty into a scantily clad, super-strong muscleman. He-Man never even stabs anything with it and he’s the most powerful man in the universe.

1. Green Lantern Power Ring DC Comics
Feared by those who live in shadow…respected across the universe by those who live in the light…really cool even to morally on-the-fence types… The Power Ring of the Green Lantern Corps is the greatest fantasy weapon of all time! It provides you a uniform and any energy construct your mind can possibly imagine, limited only by your willpower. Lonely? You can even talk to it because it’s like OnStar for your finger. You have to charge it every so often, but that’s of little consequence—we’re ready to take the oath, swear off yellow forever and slip this baby on. ARM YOURSELF: DC Direct has released several replicas, but the one to get comes with the amazing light-up Power Battery replica. $275 |
