The DC Comics universe is home to some of the most powerful artifacts in all of fiction. The comics are populated by higher dimensional beings, gods and deities without equals, and technological entities so advanced they appear to be magic to most people. Naturally, the objects and artifacts used by these beings possess power on an unimaginable scale.
These artifacts can be used to reorder reality, cause untold devastation, or fundamentally change the nature of the narrative of the comics itself. Some of these artifacts are well known to the general public, while the following 10 are more obscure and lesser-known:
10 Mobius Chair
Metron is a New God, and the owner of the Mobius Chair. The chair was crafted by Mobius the Anti-Monitor, and Metron uses it to travel between planets, galaxies and entire universes. While Metron is immensely powerful on his own, the chair augments his abilities even further and does the same for anyone else who sits on it, giving them access to the vast reservoirs of knowledge Metron has gathered in his travels. The chair allows its user to teleport to any location in existence, across any time stream. It also has a tractor beam powerful enough to pull an entire planet, and creates a force field that is impervious to any attack or phasing.
9 Father box
The Mother Box is one of the most powerful weapons of the New Gods and was even featured in the Justice League movie. It is powered by the Source Wall, said to be the energy which is granted by the creator of the multiverse itself. The Mother Box is a sentient, autonomous computer that can be used to travel to any location, alter reality, exert control over living beings, and many other applications.
The Father Box was created on Apokolips to mimic the abilities of the Mother Box, but with a negative bend that allows the device to wreak havoc on reality, especially when in the hands of Darkseid.
8 Element X
Also known as the Tenth Metal, Element X is the purest form of creation itself. It is capable of overcoming anything from the dark multiverse. It is the power source of most of the technology powering the New Gods, including the Mobius chair itself, and Batman's Final Suit.
Aside from augmenting its user's powers, Element X can also bend reality to its will, and grant cosmic awareness to its wielder allowing them to view events taking place across the multiverse.
7 Sword of Superman
At the beginning of creation, during the Big Bang, a shard of the energy of creation itself was crafted into the form of a sword. This sword carries immense power, and can only be wielded by Superman.
While using the sword, Superman's natural abilities are augmented to nearly omnipotent levels. He is also granted knowledge of anything and everything taking place in the universe at the same time. Superman eventually chose to throw the sword into space instead of keeping it to become a literal god.
6 The Worlogog
The Worlogog is a part of the cosmology of the New Gods, a map of the universe set in four dimensions. Aside from granting a degree of control over reality itself, the destruction of the Worlogog was enough to allow Darkseid to conquer the universe in an alternate future. At various points, certain heroes and villains have gained access to the map's power, allowing them to travel through time, cause immense destruction, and even bring people back from the dead.
5 The Ibistick
One of the most powerful magic items in the DC universe. Powered by Egyptian gods, the Ibistick uses the mystical energy of an almost unlimited power reservoir to alter reality in any way its user wishes. Think of a green lantern ring, only instead of making energy constructs, it makes actual things that can subsist interact with the rest of the world. The Ibistick is said to rival the Helmet of Fate in terms of its power and the damage it can do in the wrong hands, although the Ibistick is specially designed to only be used for good.
4 Pen Of Jakeem Thunder
The pen that is in the possession of Jakeem Thunder is not a pen at all, but a portal to the fifth dimension. Ownership of the pen allows for ownership of Thunderbolt, a fifth-dimensional genie that can grant you any wish you desire. If you are familiar with Superman's enemy Mr. Mxyzptlk, you understand just how powerful fifth-dimensional beings can be. The pen allows for any of your wishes to be granted, but you must take care to word them exactly as you wish to see them executed, or unexpected side-effects can emerge.
3 Anti-Monitor Cannon
The Anti-Monitor is one of the most powerful foes that the heroes of DC have ever faced. He consumes universes for nourishment and is aided in this activity with the help of his anti-matter cannon. This device is powerful enough to destroy a universe on its own, making it arguably the most powerful offensive weapon in fiction.
2 Thought Robot
Many readers think of the Thought Robot as a human version of Superman and Ultraman fused together. But the entity is so much more than that. The Thought Robot is a 4-d body construct designed to protect the universe from the ultimate evil. The Thought Robot functions as a meta-plot device. This means it is aware it is a part of a comic book and is designed to be able to counter any threat to the multiverse, no matter how big. The construct is so ridiculously overpowered that it essentially acts as a reset button for when writers have written themselves into a corner and need to take things back to normal.
1 Miracle Machine
If Thought Robot is the ultimate plot device, the Miracle Machine does one better by being the ultimate Deus Ex Machina. It has a simple purpose: to turn thoughts into reality. With this single ability, the Miracle Machine can do anything its user desires. That includes things like remaking the universe from scratch, creating a pocket universe within an existing one, or simply wiping an enemy from existence by erasing their entire timeline.
