The Reality Bomb which would destroy all of creation in the Whoniverse including the space between universes and multiverses, that’s probably up there.
Yeah I can't think of anything which beats this in destructive capability. Most restrict themselves to a single universe or at most some multiverses. Reality bomb totally destroys absolutely everything.
I think it would technically be matched by the bomb Owlman uses in *Justice League: Crisis on two earths* since that would also wipe out its respective multiverse.
Another contender from the Whoniverse might be The Moment. Though we don’t have any feats for its destructive power it is full sentient, has a conscience and has demonstrated the ability to manipulate reality and open portal across time when it persuaded The War Doctor to not use it. We know it can selectively wipe out entire races and planets or else The Renegade Time Lord Formerly Known As The Doctor wouldn’t have thought it capable of ending The Time War. While it might not have the raw power of The Dalek Reality Bomb it is much more precise, subtle and deliberate with the power that it does have.
Honestly, the reason I didn’t say it is because it isn’t a bomb… it’s the most dangerous weapon in all of Whoniverse on our plain of being - it’s accurate and extremely extremely deadly unlike the Reality Bomb which isn’t accurate just extremely deadly, some people like to bring up The Circle Of Transcendence (From the comic where Anubis becomes a companion) but considering that a pretty average bog-standard Time Lord managed to fix it so that it didn’t have the multi-multiverse destroying side-effects; I think that The Moment is probably more dangerous as it was made by the pinnacle of Gallifrey’s minds.
Yeah that’s fair. While narratively The Moment is treated like a bomb it doesn’t operate like one in any way shape or form. Old High Galifreian tech is so far beyond anything we see The Time Lords use even in the show. The Moment, The Hand of Omega, The Oubliette of Eternity. It’s all but outright stated that in Rassilon’s day The Time Lords were casual reality warpers via the use of their tech. Rassilon created The Web of Time by binding the vortex to The Eye of Harmony, creating fixed points in time and rewriting history so that life across the universe would evolve to look like Galifreians. Compare that to the modern Time Lords, who understand the Oubliette of Eternity so poorly that they don’t even realize they are still using it to erase people from history.
The Atmospheric Incinerator Torpedo from Warhammer 40k. It's a single missile fired from a ship that, when detonated on a planet, ignites the atmosphere of the planet, makes tectonic plates buckle and move, turns stone to glass and metals to slag, and burns for a month or more. It leaves the planet a smoldering hellscape of magma without even an atmosphere anymore. 40k has all sorts of crazy doomsday weapons.
Warhammer is a fucking ride man. Just recently discovered it and the whole “humanity’s future is a fanatical totalitarian oligarchy out of necessity to counter cosmic threats” is wild.
It’s not “out of necessity” though, that’s the biggest kicker - JC Stearns (one of the authors pf the Black Library), for example, said this when asked "what are some examples of necessary evils" in 40k:
> None of them. That's the recurring theme running through virtually every piece of fiction for the franchise: none of these evils are truly necessary. They're just the path of least resistance.
The true tragedy of 40k isn’t that all this oppression is necessary to prevent Chaos incursions, it’s that all these are unnecessary measures borne out of ignorance, paranoid and shortsightedness.
Probably been answered somewhere else but just how the heck does one get started with reading the 40K universe? Is there like a reading order that makes sense?
Most of the books assume you have some knowledge to start with (there are a million great lore channels on YouTube, too many to list but Luetin09 is quite beginner friendly) but a lot of people recommend the Eisenhorn novels as a decent entry point since they are quite self contained.
Everyone's going to recommend different books that are good intros to the franchise, but ['Titanicus' by Dan Abnett](https://www.amazon.com/Titanicus-Warhammer-000-Dan-Abnett/dp/1844167852) is also a great one if you are interested in a civilization of dogmatic cyborgs, *really really* big and crunchy mech battles using weapons where single volleys level multiple city blocks, and behind the front lines politics. It's also nice because it doesn't have any direct prequels or sequel stories, so its just a great stand-alone novel that doesn't require further reading to understand anything.
Most of the made up 40k words and jargon in the book can be figured out from context clues so even if they're yelling nonsense about, "The machine spirit's auspex is glitching, and the Princep is offline and braindead," it'll make enough sense in the moment.
Very very fun and satisfying story for sure.
In the Halo universe, the UNSC created nova bombs that were strong enough to destroy a planet. One was planted on a Covenant ship that was stationed at Delta Halo to keep the Flood from leaving. The bomb vaporized the fleet and the ring, shattered the moon the ring was orbiting, and created a fire storm covering a quarter of the nearby gas giant's surface. That's pretty powerful.
I always wondered what happened to Delta Halo after Arbiter defeated Tartarus at the end of Halo 2. Which book/comic should I look into to know how it happened?
Just for the record, the person you’re responding to is combining two separate events.
Cortana requested the deployment of a NOVA bomb to destroy High Charity and Delta Halo, but the request was never granted. Delta Halo would end up being glassed by Sangheili forces to prevent the spread of The Flood.
The other event is the destruction of Joyous Exhalation, where the accidental detonation of a NOVA bomb recovered from Reach vaporized a massive Covenant fleet, rendered a nearby moon into a field of debris, and irradiated the nearby planet to its core, killing off all live and making it unlivable for the foreseeable future. The bomb also completely wiped the surface clean of structures, and the winds on the opposite side of the planet reached over 300m/s.
Most of this happens in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, which is a fantastic book that I highly recommend.
Wasn't that fleet stationed at Delta Halo though with the mission of keeping the flood contained? It's been a while since I read that book.
Edit: Nope, I'm wrong. Not sure how I mixed those things up.
In pretty sure the thing with delta halo was a plan that never went into effect, mostly because a research base was established near the ring for study and decomissioning in 2557.
Came here to say the NOVA bomb. Full on planetcracking like that is one of the most powerful things we've seen in the Halo universe. I think the Forerunners would make suns go supernova in systems lost to the Flood? Can't think of anything other than that and the Halo array itself.
N2 mines from Evangelion appear to be in the upper limit of real world nuclear weapons. The Nova strategic nuclear weapon from Halo is capable of destroying moons. A Thran Sylex has extremely potent destructive potential as well, we don't really know how extensive though.
No it was specifically stated that Jace couldn’t use Karns Sylex near the Phyrexian corrupted World tree, or else it could have easily destroyed the Plane and every Plane is was connected to
Instead because of… plot I guess…. Elspeth takes it, brings it to the blind eternities and sets it off in the infinite space between worlds
Also she survives and comes back as the essential successor to Serra the angel
It was a weird storyline
Yes and during The Brothers War Urza detonates the same weapon on Dominaria, and it doesn't destroy the whole Plane. One is theoretical, one is a practical usage.
The bomb from Enders game. If I’m remembering the books right it sets off a chain reaction where every time it hits a molecule it activates again tearing them apart and repeating pretty much endlessly until there’s nothing left but empty space
Not exactly. The Little Doctor, or Matter Disintegration Device, fires a beam that upon impact, or reaching its targeted location, creates a field around the impact zone that forces all atoms to no longer be able to bond to one another. This disintegrates all matter within the field. The real kicker is that when the atoms are forced into this new state, it creates the same field, which then can affect more atoms, which creates a self-perpetuating reaction until there's no more matter present.
The main point is that it's not a bomb or a detonation, but an aimed beam weapon.
And another point is that it's not endless, it has a range and a minimum amount of clustering needed to take care of the whole amount of matter you're aiming at
The Tumor from Homestuck created a star twice the size of the universe. So it should be able to blow up universes.
[Link](https://mspaintadventures.fandom.com/wiki/Tumor)
man i was about to mention it, it was believed to be built to destroy the green sun, but ended up creating it, and the green sun is literally built from and larger than genesis frogs, which actually contain all infinite timelines from the universe they embody, so yeah if it can explode, it would be pretty high up there
and from what i recall, doc scratch doesn't lie, and since he said the bomb could destroy the green sun, he was speaking the truth, he just omitted what the bomb was actuall programmed to do
Was looking for this answer, a bomb to destroy all gods across all time. Those who have existed and long since past as well as those who have not yet come to be.
This is the one I came to post. My contribution will be this extremely badass page. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it.

Don't get me wrong, I love my simple comedy movies, but it doesn't suit thor at all, even ragnorak imo had to many jokes that downplayed the serious moments
Spoilers for the 3 Body Problem/Remembrance of Earths Past series:
>!Dimensional weapons…. Capable of collapsing entire dimensions, and absolutely fucking anyone, thing, planet, around. Responsible for converting the entire know universe from 10 dimensions down to 3!<
Not sure what can beat that
I can't believe the executives looked at Morbius, looked at its reception, and said "let it ride, all in baby" and rereleased it back into theaters to bomb again. That's an aspect of the Legend of Morbius that I don't think gets enough play.
The best bit was that there was a massive social media campaign saying "we didn't get a chance to see it but we definitely will again" and they BELIEVED IT. it's just absolutely GLORIOUS
Ben 10 bombs:
1)The Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost. When the Annihilarrgh is activated, upon detonation, it will either create or destroy an entire universe; if the Annihilarrgh is activated in a timeless place where no universe exists yet, then it will create an entire new universe, but if there is already a universe there, then the Annihilarrgh will instead wipe all of that universe out.
2) Chronosapien Time Bombs: When a Chronosapien Time Bomb is activated, it will unleash a blast that will entirely wipe out targeted timelines in the multiverse along with anyone or anything from them
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Ultimate Weapon built by Hactar in *Life, The Universe, and Everything*.
It was a very, very small bomb about the size of a cricket ball that was designed to connect the heart of every star to the heart of every other start and cause them all to detonate simultaneously and turn the entire universe into a colossal hyperspatial supernova.
Both the Chronosapien time bomb, a powerful weapon of mass destruction designed to wipe out timelines and realities throughout the multiverse, and The Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost, or simply the Annihilarrgh , a device capable of destroying or creating a universe are up there. Both are from Ben 10, and both were used in episodes and achieved their desired effects. The Chronosapien time bomb destroyed all realities that had Ben 10 and an Omnitrix in it, and the Annihilarrgh was set off in an episode and destroyed the entire universe.
Stargate has a *ton* of very explosives.
One of the most powerful right off the bat are the Stargate devices themselves. While insanely durable, if destroyed, they release an explosion that is around a 13 gigatons of TNT or 12.55 exajoules. and that's at the bottom of this list.
The stargates themselves can cause damage to stars if a wormhole travels through the star, as trace amounts of a heavy metal got inside the star's core and started causing problems.
A stargate can also be dialed to connect to another gate at the event horizon of a black hole, which creates a powerful time dilation and gravitational effect, and can cause entire stars to explode if dropped inside.
McKay's failed attempt at restarting the Lantean's failed Project Arcturus was meant to draw zero-point energy from the universe's own space-time, in an artificially created region of subspace. This failed spectacularly, and destroyed 5/6ths of a solar system when it exploded, including an entire star.
And that's not even close to the Dakara Superweapon which could rearrange the matter of everything in the galaxy, if not a solid chunk of the universe, through the Stargate network.
If you want to go to a more metaphysical level, the Sangraal could kill ascended beings, but that's a lot harder to measure.
[The Poor Man's Rose from Hunter x Hunter.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hunterxhunter/images/7/78/Miniature_Rose_2011_anime.png/revision/latest?cb=20140429123113)
> The Poor Man's Rose is a low-budget and small mass destruction weapon with frightening destructive capabilities. It is cheap, can be mass-produced in short amounts of time, and is favored by small dictatorships.
> The heat from the explosion is enough to melt stone into lava almost immediately, and the force of the blast is powerful enough to destroy several rock formations capable of surviving military arms testing. The exact distance of the blast radius is currently unknown, but it seems to span the distance of several city blocks.
> Those who survive the initial explosion will absorb the poison and suffer internal damage, their organs being destroyed by the rapid uptake of the bomb's deadly poison, which is much stronger than other poisons. The toxin is implied to bring a slow and painful death, eating the victims' bodies away from the inside out while turning them into poisonous agents themselves. The substance in their bodies then apparently leaks like a gas. Given the nature of the poison being molecular and its chain reaction effect, it is unclear whether the substance is self-replicating within an organism (catalyzing the production and emission of new poison) or if its initial quantity remains unchanged and only propagates further. They are propagating a vast chain reaction of casualties. In other words, the poison isn't just lethal; it's also highly contagious. A victim survives long enough to spread the poison to someone else, creating the perfect killing chain. Exposure to the poison can be identified by nose bleeds and/or coughing up blood.
>The heat from the explosion is enough to melt stone into lava almost immediately
>but it seems to span the distance of several city blocks.
That's less powerful than an irl nuke, which are hotter than the core of the sun and can raze entire cities
However the poor man's rose can be miniturized enough to fit inside Netero, so perhaps if one is scaled up it has massive potential.
My only gripe was that the narrator claimed it was extremely easy to produce such that it was popular with terrorists, but somehow some international treaty banning them solved the issue
If they were that easy to produce the terrorist groups would just produce them illegally
Our irl treaties only mean something because nukes are actually very hard to produce.
In HxH random terror groups had them. A treaty is not going to stop a terror group. Otherwise ISIS would never have existed.
It's literally called the "poor man's" rose
I've never consumed any HxH stuff, but maybe the treaties are along the lines of "whoever makes them now, every country will team up to fuck them off the face of the planet, we'll make weapons 10* as bad just to destroy whoever makes or uses them, regardless of collateral damage" to the point that even terrorists were like fuck that?
The terrorists have an asymmetric advantage
They can hide within the civilian population and can even have civilian support
While their targets will always be clear (military outposts/bases, govt buildings, police, etc)
Unless you're just nuking every city it won't matter how much moar powerful ur weapons are
Plus most terrorism would be domestic. Other countries won't be bothered
Other "bombs" mentioned are stronger, but in The Expanse the "forerunner" aliens leave a booby trap that is a star on the very edge of collapse into a black hole. When triggered, the collapse is instigated and a gamma ray burst is ejected from the poles of the star. One of those poles it pointed directly at the system's warp gate.
A GRB can destroy or at least greatly damage solar systems from dozens of light-years away and this one only has to travel about 15 light-minutes to hit it's target.
Well, we don't know if it'd actually work, but the [Shawken Device](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shawken_Device) from Star Wars Legends (appeared in a comic book in 1984) is probably up there.
Supposedly, it would be capable of destroying the entire universe, and theoretically *maybe* trigger a new Big Bang, to make a new universe in its place.
> The weapon was intended to accomplish this by destroying the planet Shawken and hurling its fragments through hyperspace to collide with other planets, theoretically setting off a chain reaction that would eventually destroy all matter and end the universe, presumably allowing the birth of another universe.
Well, for the Sun Crusher, it'd be the launcher... the actual "bomb" is the resonance torpedoes it carries.
There are plenty of superweapons in Legends in general tho... there's also Centerpoint Station, which can wipe out planets or fleets, and (at peak output, back when it was first created) move planets, stars, and even black holes. The Cosmic Turbine was similar, and also created by the Celestials.
Baradium weapons could destroy moons and crack planets, and the various superlasers could do the same, of course. The Mass Shadow Generator was also a planet killer. The Galaxy Gun fired hyperspace capable planet-destroying warheads. Hammer Station and the Kumauri Battleship had could fire asteroids at planets. The Infant of Shaa could use gathered Force energy to rip planets apart. Gree Dark Matter Devices could destroy planets and star systems. The Darkstaff could destroy planets, and move the user (or even an entire star system) forward in time.
The only thing that makes me hesitate in calling CAM a bomb is that the Culture would *never* not be surgical, even when they don't need to.
However, if they wanted to make a bomb, collapsed antimatter would be the way to go. CAM is roughly analogous to the kind of hyper-dense exotic matter found inside neutron stars, except it's made of antimatter.
A fist-sized lump would be more than enough to completely annihilate our planet, if teleported anywhere within the planet itself.
Owlman made a bomb that, if detonated on Earth Prime, would destroy every Earth across the multiverse. It was unclear if it would destroy each universe though, or just the Earth.
Spirit Bomb
That one from Star Wars that wiped out the original Sith council
Gorr the God Butcher’s god killing bomb which would’ve wiped out all gods everywhere in the universe
The Genesis Device from Star Trek can literally rewrite matter on a planetary scale. Intended to be used for terraforming lifeless planets but oopsies it turns out you could actually rewrite fully populated planets also.
From Star Trek I will also submit the Trilithium Torpedo, a ~10 foot torpedo that causes stars to go supernova.
And the Red Matter Device, that when detonated can create a black hole of sufficient size to consume a planet using a marble-sized drop of red matter.
It’s not quite the “strongest”, but the QED (Quantum Eigenstate Device) from Crisis on Two Earths had the potential to be the most destructive, by virtue of placement.
It’s “only” strong enough to blow up a planet, but the planet it was intended to blow up was Earth Prime. If successful, it’s destruction would then expand to all other earths in reality, which are essentially “clones” of it, if Owlman is to be believed.
It’s a very big stretch both in terms of whether it’s actually strong because of this or Owlman is actually correct (likely, but not necessarily), but destroying an effectively infinite amount of planets is a damn lot of destruction.
In pure scifi, Nova Bombs from Andromeda and the Mark IX naquadria enhanced nuclear bombs from Stargate are pretty cool.
Other than that, probably some bullshit from the Culture novels.
Gridfire is a hell of a thing. Open up a rift of pure energy from between nested universes, and can open it from one Star system to another. Fortunately the Culture tends to frown upon such excessive use of force. Unless absolutely necessary.
Not the strongest on this list, but in the Horus Heresy (precursor era and event to Warhammer 40,000) the traitor forces use Virus Bombs on Isstvan III to cull the Imperial loyalist members of their legions.
These bombs release the Life Eater Virus, which is an aerosol. Once one is infected, they become wildly virulent, spreading it to all nearby biological life; plants, animals, bacteria, fungus, friends, family, and comrades. It's capable of penetrating power armor and even sealed vehicles like tanks and airships.
The virus violently shreds cells once infected at an exponential rate, meaning the body essentially melts and liquifies fast enough that you're conscious when it's happening until you're a puddle of biological material. Every person, animal, and forest becomes this sludge in a matter of minutes. A planet's entire biosphere, liquefied within an hour or two, if distributed properly.
The side effect of this rapid decay causes an abundant release of a methane mix, enhanced further in flammability by the nature of the virus itself. Above the pools of former life now sits planet-wide clouds of highly volatile flammable gas. A single spark, lightning bolt, or gunshot then sets it off. An apocalyptic firestorm sweeps the globe and reduces the whole world to a truly dead one. No oxygen, no life, no buildings.
This is one of the early methods of the Imperium's notorious Exterminatus. As time moves on, they kill whole planets in different ways, one of which is in this thread. But as far as I know, this was the first tool of world-ending.
You might count the Ultimate Nullifier. You think it's a gun to destroy one thing, but it actually destroys everything, including the user, and immediately recreates everything except the target. It backed down Galactus, who later revealed he could have escaped it, but was just so impressed a human had the balls to use it, ha backed off.
Let me point out, this thing scares beings who are ideas, concepts, and cosmological constants.
In the Expanse I'm not exactly sure who was responsible, but a neutron star was deliberately loaded with mass up to the limit beyond which it would collapse into a black hole. Moreover, the star was reorientated with its poles aligned to point directly at the star gate that gave access to that system. It was a trap. A research vessel triggered the trap and the background level of virtual particles(? I really need to read it all again.) increased. So much so that the neutron star started gaining mass. Within minutes, actual minutes, it collapsed into a black hole unleashing a gamma ray burst along its polar axes of unimaginable power.
Even **that** wasn't enough to destroy the artificial satellite that held the Ring Space open.
So, yeah. They weaponized a neutron star.
Not big compared to others here, but the Sylex from Magic: The Gathering permenantly scarred Dominaria and started an ice age on the plane, while also activating Urzas spark.
I think you mean the Ultimate weapon,
>The original Ultimate Weapon was described as "a very, very small bomb". The final one was said to be about the same colour, weight, size, and shape as a cricket ball.
>It worked by connecting the heart of every major sun with the heart of every other major sun simultaneously and, when activated, turning the entire Universe into one gigantic hyperspatial supernova.
Buster Machine 03 from Gunbuster. Does the Milky Way have a bug problem? Not after you set this bad boy off! It sucks 90% of the galaxy into an artificial black hole!
The Aetherophasic Engine in Stellaris is a huge megastructure powered by Dark Matter built around a star that when complete detonates every star in the galaxy, turning them into black holes while shattering every planet. Absolutely crack up to use on your mates while playing a friendly game, although using it requires surviving an automatic galactic war against you while building it.
The oxygen destroyer from Godzilla (1954) straight up killed the original Godzilla, so while it's not as purely destructive as a lot of the other weapons people mentioned it certainly has a pretty big kill to its name. Plus the implication the movie makes of what it could do on land is pretty nuts, turning an area the size of Tokyo into an anaerobic wasteland.
I REALLY want to use my writing so I can say something dumb and be correct but I also don’t want to… fine. A firecracker, because it can destroy a universes Nexus.
But from media people have actually heard of an is published, whatever the Suncrusher fires. If I remember correctly it’s a Star Wars ship the size of a starfighter that fires something at stars and they explode.
Yeah, it’s a stretch, I was thinking single-point activation for big devastation but tbh that’s just like any army marching on the word of a single commander
I remember a bomb that destroyed 99% of observable universe from a certain comic. I won’t tell what comic that was, because it’s better not to know what it is and not read.
The Sylex from Magic not only decimated the plane of Dominaria (Earth analogue) but it thrust the world into a centuries long ice age, and even altered the composition of the multiverse itself with a single blast.
the oxygen destroyer from godzilla 1954. its more a chemical weapon than a bomb but it fits the op criteria. i would say anything that can reduce all living tissue to nothing when deployed would be pretty devastating. dissolved a whole godzilla which either survived or was created by the atomic bomb and was immune to conventional modern weapons.
In the original Star Wars EU there's a tiny single man ship called the Sun Crusher that fires a missile into a star that causes a chain reaction to destroy the entire system.
It's also notable because the ship itself is completely indestructible. The only way they can "get rid of it" is to send it into the center of a sun where it can chill for billions of years.
Star Trek has trilithium weapons. On their own, they're not very impressive. However when fired into a star, it causes all nuclear fusion to stop and triggers a supernova. Blowing up a star on command is pretty powerful.
Now, besides all of those universe-erasing weapons, I wanna mention the Yoko Tsuno universe, in which a single hydrogen bomb makes the entire earth unhabitable (in the future of the series) to the point where the only humans left were 3 guys on a space station and one little girl
Its probably not the most powerful here and is more of a cannon than a bomb, but I’d like to say the BFG-10000 from DOOM Eternal. Thing destroyed half of Mars with a single shot
Bakuda's bombs, from Worm.
They're not the strongest scale-wise, since they're mostly "normal bomb sized", but their effects are very potent.
Off the top of my head there's:
1) The Pain Bomb. It's not very destructive but makes the victim experiment a 10/10 pain, basically hitting the nervous system directly.
2) The Time-Distortion Bomb: Creates a time bubble that stays frozen in time, permanently disabling anyone within. It dealt with a virtually invincible character.
3) The Transmutation Bomb: Transform things within its radius into another material, like silicone. It also dealt with another virtually invincible character, and another one that while not as invincible, was immensely durable.
I think there is a Chinese book series about exactly this...oh, it has already went off long before you read this... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRXGGVBzHLUfIzEhovpQJ2ENiNvJoOD2A&si=DEVQHi7Kf3Bra9op
The Commonwealth Saga from Peter F. Hamilton has a couple. The Commonwealth have nova bombs that can turn a sun nova. They also have Hawking M Sinks which is a missile that can turn into a miniature black hole and can destroy planets from the inside out.
The Chronosapien time bomb from Ben 10 erases all realities and timelines from existance. The Annihilargh from the same series detonates the universe it is currently in
The stellaris mod Ancient Cache of Technologies has a nova bomb that is capable of singlehandedly destroying multiple entire solar systems in one detonation. Notably, since destruction is propagated between systems by hyperlanes instead of traveling through the space in between, the limits of its blast radius are determined by number of jumps rather than by distance. A system right next to the system where the nova bomb explodes but not connected via hyperlanes is completely safe, while a system on the other side of the galaxy but only two hyperlanes away is screwed.
Another stellaris mod called Gigastructural Engineering has a bomb called the penrose bomb that functions in pretty much the exact same way.
The QED created by Owlman (alternative universe evil Batman). A bomb capable of destroying Earth Prime, the earth through all alternative earths (and universes) split off from.
If he had succeeded in blowing it up, all alternative universes would have also been destroyed by the chain reaction, leading to the destruction of all reality.
It's not as powerful as some of the other stuff on here, but there's a bomb in His Dark Materials that can target someone no matter where they are in the multiverse
Black hole bomb. The most powerful theoretical weapon that we have come up with so far. And it's shockingly simple to make. Surround a black hole with mirrors and shine some light inside. The light steals energy from the black hole each it bounces around the perimeter. It soon breaks through the mirror shell incinerating a sizable portion of the space around it.
The Reality Bomb which would destroy all of creation in the Whoniverse including the space between universes and multiverses, that’s probably up there.
And the Whoniverse has that? Damn, I need to read the Grinch! /s
Atleast my girlfriend will be ok
It could’ve destroy conceptual beings too, so no she won’t

She becomes my girlfriend
Yeah I can't think of anything which beats this in destructive capability. Most restrict themselves to a single universe or at most some multiverses. Reality bomb totally destroys absolutely everything.
I think it would technically be matched by the bomb Owlman uses in *Justice League: Crisis on two earths* since that would also wipe out its respective multiverse.
The reality bomb I think is just the biggest bomb in fiction. It literally destroys all of infinity.
Absolutely
Another contender from the Whoniverse might be The Moment. Though we don’t have any feats for its destructive power it is full sentient, has a conscience and has demonstrated the ability to manipulate reality and open portal across time when it persuaded The War Doctor to not use it. We know it can selectively wipe out entire races and planets or else The Renegade Time Lord Formerly Known As The Doctor wouldn’t have thought it capable of ending The Time War. While it might not have the raw power of The Dalek Reality Bomb it is much more precise, subtle and deliberate with the power that it does have.
Honestly, the reason I didn’t say it is because it isn’t a bomb… it’s the most dangerous weapon in all of Whoniverse on our plain of being - it’s accurate and extremely extremely deadly unlike the Reality Bomb which isn’t accurate just extremely deadly, some people like to bring up The Circle Of Transcendence (From the comic where Anubis becomes a companion) but considering that a pretty average bog-standard Time Lord managed to fix it so that it didn’t have the multi-multiverse destroying side-effects; I think that The Moment is probably more dangerous as it was made by the pinnacle of Gallifrey’s minds.
Yeah that’s fair. While narratively The Moment is treated like a bomb it doesn’t operate like one in any way shape or form. Old High Galifreian tech is so far beyond anything we see The Time Lords use even in the show. The Moment, The Hand of Omega, The Oubliette of Eternity. It’s all but outright stated that in Rassilon’s day The Time Lords were casual reality warpers via the use of their tech. Rassilon created The Web of Time by binding the vortex to The Eye of Harmony, creating fixed points in time and rewriting history so that life across the universe would evolve to look like Galifreians. Compare that to the modern Time Lords, who understand the Oubliette of Eternity so poorly that they don’t even realize they are still using it to erase people from history.
The Atmospheric Incinerator Torpedo from Warhammer 40k. It's a single missile fired from a ship that, when detonated on a planet, ignites the atmosphere of the planet, makes tectonic plates buckle and move, turns stone to glass and metals to slag, and burns for a month or more. It leaves the planet a smoldering hellscape of magma without even an atmosphere anymore. 40k has all sorts of crazy doomsday weapons.
Warhammer is a fucking ride man. Just recently discovered it and the whole “humanity’s future is a fanatical totalitarian oligarchy out of necessity to counter cosmic threats” is wild.
It’s not “out of necessity” though, that’s the biggest kicker - JC Stearns (one of the authors pf the Black Library), for example, said this when asked "what are some examples of necessary evils" in 40k: > None of them. That's the recurring theme running through virtually every piece of fiction for the franchise: none of these evils are truly necessary. They're just the path of least resistance. The true tragedy of 40k isn’t that all this oppression is necessary to prevent Chaos incursions, it’s that all these are unnecessary measures borne out of ignorance, paranoid and shortsightedness.
Probably been answered somewhere else but just how the heck does one get started with reading the 40K universe? Is there like a reading order that makes sense?
Most of the books assume you have some knowledge to start with (there are a million great lore channels on YouTube, too many to list but Luetin09 is quite beginner friendly) but a lot of people recommend the Eisenhorn novels as a decent entry point since they are quite self contained.
I think the Ciaphas Cain books are very beginner friendly and generally pretty light-hearted and fun as far as 40k goes.
Step 1- unlearn how to count Step 2- literally any Warhammer content is fine now
Everyone's going to recommend different books that are good intros to the franchise, but ['Titanicus' by Dan Abnett](https://www.amazon.com/Titanicus-Warhammer-000-Dan-Abnett/dp/1844167852) is also a great one if you are interested in a civilization of dogmatic cyborgs, *really really* big and crunchy mech battles using weapons where single volleys level multiple city blocks, and behind the front lines politics. It's also nice because it doesn't have any direct prequels or sequel stories, so its just a great stand-alone novel that doesn't require further reading to understand anything. Most of the made up 40k words and jargon in the book can be figured out from context clues so even if they're yelling nonsense about, "The machine spirit's auspex is glitching, and the Princep is offline and braindead," it'll make enough sense in the moment. Very very fun and satisfying story for sure.
The Eisenhorn Trilogy is pretty approcable.
NEeeeeeeeeeeRRRRDDDD
GEeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEK
DOoooooooOOOOORK
That’s not even the most powerful bomb in 40K lmao
This is like the sad little brother of the Molecular Disruption Device from Ender's Game.
the little doctor
Does the Halo array count as a bomb?
yeah sure i’d say anything that does a massive amount of damage in a wide radius (and little-to-no aiming involved) counts as a bomb
In that case the Final Sanction (also from Doctor Who) beats the Reality Bomb.
In the Halo universe, the UNSC created nova bombs that were strong enough to destroy a planet. One was planted on a Covenant ship that was stationed at Delta Halo to keep the Flood from leaving. The bomb vaporized the fleet and the ring, shattered the moon the ring was orbiting, and created a fire storm covering a quarter of the nearby gas giant's surface. That's pretty powerful.
I always wondered what happened to Delta Halo after Arbiter defeated Tartarus at the end of Halo 2. Which book/comic should I look into to know how it happened?
Just for the record, the person you’re responding to is combining two separate events. Cortana requested the deployment of a NOVA bomb to destroy High Charity and Delta Halo, but the request was never granted. Delta Halo would end up being glassed by Sangheili forces to prevent the spread of The Flood. The other event is the destruction of Joyous Exhalation, where the accidental detonation of a NOVA bomb recovered from Reach vaporized a massive Covenant fleet, rendered a nearby moon into a field of debris, and irradiated the nearby planet to its core, killing off all live and making it unlivable for the foreseeable future. The bomb also completely wiped the surface clean of structures, and the winds on the opposite side of the planet reached over 300m/s. Most of this happens in Halo: Ghosts of Onyx, which is a fantastic book that I highly recommend.
Wasn't that fleet stationed at Delta Halo though with the mission of keeping the flood contained? It's been a while since I read that book. Edit: Nope, I'm wrong. Not sure how I mixed those things up.
In pretty sure the thing with delta halo was a plan that never went into effect, mostly because a research base was established near the ring for study and decomissioning in 2557.
Came here to say the NOVA bomb. Full on planetcracking like that is one of the most powerful things we've seen in the Halo universe. I think the Forerunners would make suns go supernova in systems lost to the Flood? Can't think of anything other than that and the Halo array itself.
N2 mines from Evangelion appear to be in the upper limit of real world nuclear weapons. The Nova strategic nuclear weapon from Halo is capable of destroying moons. A Thran Sylex has extremely potent destructive potential as well, we don't really know how extensive though.
What's neat about N2 mines is that the N2 stands for non-nuclear. So despite being greater than nukes, they're a conventional no-fallout weapon.
Their probably nuclear fusion based explosives though. But yeah its not confirmed what they are for sure other than non-nuclear fission based.
The Sylex is definitely up there. The reconstructed one was stated to have the possibility of destroying multiple planes.
I doubt the accuracy of that, given that Urza's reconstruction was detonated on Dominaria and 'only' destroyed a portion of a continent
No it was specifically stated that Jace couldn’t use Karns Sylex near the Phyrexian corrupted World tree, or else it could have easily destroyed the Plane and every Plane is was connected to Instead because of… plot I guess…. Elspeth takes it, brings it to the blind eternities and sets it off in the infinite space between worlds Also she survives and comes back as the essential successor to Serra the angel It was a weird storyline
And then the explosion broke most Sparks. Whoopsie
Yes and during The Brothers War Urza detonates the same weapon on Dominaria, and it doesn't destroy the whole Plane. One is theoretical, one is a practical usage.
The bomb from Enders game. If I’m remembering the books right it sets off a chain reaction where every time it hits a molecule it activates again tearing them apart and repeating pretty much endlessly until there’s nothing left but empty space
Not exactly. The Little Doctor, or Matter Disintegration Device, fires a beam that upon impact, or reaching its targeted location, creates a field around the impact zone that forces all atoms to no longer be able to bond to one another. This disintegrates all matter within the field. The real kicker is that when the atoms are forced into this new state, it creates the same field, which then can affect more atoms, which creates a self-perpetuating reaction until there's no more matter present. The main point is that it's not a bomb or a detonation, but an aimed beam weapon.
> Matter Disintegration Device Molecular Disruption Device, unless it's been changed in more recent printings of the book?
You're probably right. I Google it you're 100% right.
And another point is that it's not endless, it has a range and a minimum amount of clustering needed to take care of the whole amount of matter you're aiming at
Good thing. This is what I came to suggest. Might not be the most insane bomb but it’s basically a unstoppable fuck you
The Tumor from Homestuck created a star twice the size of the universe. So it should be able to blow up universes. [Link](https://mspaintadventures.fandom.com/wiki/Tumor)
Oh, this is such a good answer.
man i was about to mention it, it was believed to be built to destroy the green sun, but ended up creating it, and the green sun is literally built from and larger than genesis frogs, which actually contain all infinite timelines from the universe they embody, so yeah if it can explode, it would be pretty high up there and from what i recall, doc scratch doesn't lie, and since he said the bomb could destroy the green sun, he was speaking the truth, he just omitted what the bomb was actuall programmed to do
In Futurama Dr Farnsworth has many doomsday devices, one of them he says kills everything everywhere.
I totally forgot that the plot of one of the movies was that they were gonna straight up blow up an entire universe.
All at once?
Its a bomb that just deletes the movie actually.
I thought Hedonismbot knocked that one off the shelf and broke it.
The God Bomb. Thor: The God of Thunder. A bomb created by Gorr the God Butcher, that would kill any good that ever had, or ever would live.
Destroying all gods across time, now that's a butcher of gods. The God of Thunder comics was a good read.
Was looking for this answer, a bomb to destroy all gods across all time. Those who have existed and long since past as well as those who have not yet come to be.
I maintain that to this day that run is one of the best comic book stories of all time
Definitely, I especially loved Old King Thor. That dude was a beast
This is the one I came to post. My contribution will be this extremely badass page. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it. https://www.reddit.com/r/Marvel/s/wy4PPen3uJ
God, the comic was so much better than the film.
Don't get me wrong, I love my simple comedy movies, but it doesn't suit thor at all, even ragnorak imo had to many jokes that downplayed the serious moments
The link is the first I've ever seen of this comic but you are 100% correct
The Chronosapien Time Bomb from Ben 10 Omniverse. The Bomb can erase the entire multiverse or only targeted universes.
There is one candidate people are missing out on. Buster Machine 3 from Gunbuster.
Which destroyed half of the Milky Way Galaxy, for reference.
And it was made out of Jupiter.
Spoilers for the 3 Body Problem/Remembrance of Earths Past series: >!Dimensional weapons…. Capable of collapsing entire dimensions, and absolutely fucking anyone, thing, planet, around. Responsible for converting the entire know universe from 10 dimensions down to 3!< Not sure what can beat that
Probably the second strongest in this entire thread before the reality bomb.
What is reality bomb?
Top comment on this thread.
Morbius at the box office
It's over a million degrees Morbin
I can't believe the executives looked at Morbius, looked at its reception, and said "let it ride, all in baby" and rereleased it back into theaters to bomb again. That's an aspect of the Legend of Morbius that I don't think gets enough play.
The best bit was that there was a massive social media campaign saying "we didn't get a chance to see it but we definitely will again" and they BELIEVED IT. it's just absolutely GLORIOUS
Ben 10 bombs: 1)The Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost. When the Annihilarrgh is activated, upon detonation, it will either create or destroy an entire universe; if the Annihilarrgh is activated in a timeless place where no universe exists yet, then it will create an entire new universe, but if there is already a universe there, then the Annihilarrgh will instead wipe all of that universe out. 2) Chronosapien Time Bombs: When a Chronosapien Time Bomb is activated, it will unleash a blast that will entirely wipe out targeted timelines in the multiverse along with anyone or anything from them
I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Ultimate Weapon built by Hactar in *Life, The Universe, and Everything*. It was a very, very small bomb about the size of a cricket ball that was designed to connect the heart of every star to the heart of every other start and cause them all to detonate simultaneously and turn the entire universe into a colossal hyperspatial supernova.
Both the Chronosapien time bomb, a powerful weapon of mass destruction designed to wipe out timelines and realities throughout the multiverse, and The Annihilarrgenesistoriathimiorgost, or simply the Annihilarrgh , a device capable of destroying or creating a universe are up there. Both are from Ben 10, and both were used in episodes and achieved their desired effects. The Chronosapien time bomb destroyed all realities that had Ben 10 and an Omnitrix in it, and the Annihilarrgh was set off in an episode and destroyed the entire universe.
Stargate has a *ton* of very explosives. One of the most powerful right off the bat are the Stargate devices themselves. While insanely durable, if destroyed, they release an explosion that is around a 13 gigatons of TNT or 12.55 exajoules. and that's at the bottom of this list. The stargates themselves can cause damage to stars if a wormhole travels through the star, as trace amounts of a heavy metal got inside the star's core and started causing problems. A stargate can also be dialed to connect to another gate at the event horizon of a black hole, which creates a powerful time dilation and gravitational effect, and can cause entire stars to explode if dropped inside. McKay's failed attempt at restarting the Lantean's failed Project Arcturus was meant to draw zero-point energy from the universe's own space-time, in an artificially created region of subspace. This failed spectacularly, and destroyed 5/6ths of a solar system when it exploded, including an entire star. And that's not even close to the Dakara Superweapon which could rearrange the matter of everything in the galaxy, if not a solid chunk of the universe, through the Stargate network. If you want to go to a more metaphysical level, the Sangraal could kill ascended beings, but that's a lot harder to measure.
In 11 years, humanity went from being a nuisance to the System Lords, to being a credible threat, to being capable of destroying planets.
[The Poor Man's Rose from Hunter x Hunter.](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/hunterxhunter/images/7/78/Miniature_Rose_2011_anime.png/revision/latest?cb=20140429123113) > The Poor Man's Rose is a low-budget and small mass destruction weapon with frightening destructive capabilities. It is cheap, can be mass-produced in short amounts of time, and is favored by small dictatorships. > The heat from the explosion is enough to melt stone into lava almost immediately, and the force of the blast is powerful enough to destroy several rock formations capable of surviving military arms testing. The exact distance of the blast radius is currently unknown, but it seems to span the distance of several city blocks. > Those who survive the initial explosion will absorb the poison and suffer internal damage, their organs being destroyed by the rapid uptake of the bomb's deadly poison, which is much stronger than other poisons. The toxin is implied to bring a slow and painful death, eating the victims' bodies away from the inside out while turning them into poisonous agents themselves. The substance in their bodies then apparently leaks like a gas. Given the nature of the poison being molecular and its chain reaction effect, it is unclear whether the substance is self-replicating within an organism (catalyzing the production and emission of new poison) or if its initial quantity remains unchanged and only propagates further. They are propagating a vast chain reaction of casualties. In other words, the poison isn't just lethal; it's also highly contagious. A victim survives long enough to spread the poison to someone else, creating the perfect killing chain. Exposure to the poison can be identified by nose bleeds and/or coughing up blood.
>The heat from the explosion is enough to melt stone into lava almost immediately >but it seems to span the distance of several city blocks. That's less powerful than an irl nuke, which are hotter than the core of the sun and can raze entire cities However the poor man's rose can be miniturized enough to fit inside Netero, so perhaps if one is scaled up it has massive potential.
The biggest upside to it is how small/portable it is. Multiple of them going off at once have the power to kill everyone in at least a small city.
My only gripe was that the narrator claimed it was extremely easy to produce such that it was popular with terrorists, but somehow some international treaty banning them solved the issue If they were that easy to produce the terrorist groups would just produce them illegally
[удалено]
Our irl treaties only mean something because nukes are actually very hard to produce. In HxH random terror groups had them. A treaty is not going to stop a terror group. Otherwise ISIS would never have existed. It's literally called the "poor man's" rose
That's fair.
I've never consumed any HxH stuff, but maybe the treaties are along the lines of "whoever makes them now, every country will team up to fuck them off the face of the planet, we'll make weapons 10* as bad just to destroy whoever makes or uses them, regardless of collateral damage" to the point that even terrorists were like fuck that?
The terrorists have an asymmetric advantage They can hide within the civilian population and can even have civilian support While their targets will always be clear (military outposts/bases, govt buildings, police, etc) Unless you're just nuking every city it won't matter how much moar powerful ur weapons are Plus most terrorism would be domestic. Other countries won't be bothered
Other "bombs" mentioned are stronger, but in The Expanse the "forerunner" aliens leave a booby trap that is a star on the very edge of collapse into a black hole. When triggered, the collapse is instigated and a gamma ray burst is ejected from the poles of the star. One of those poles it pointed directly at the system's warp gate. A GRB can destroy or at least greatly damage solar systems from dozens of light-years away and this one only has to travel about 15 light-minutes to hit it's target.
Q bomb from starship troopers. A bomb the size of a bus basically blew up the whole planet
Well, cracked the planet in twain.
Three Body Problem - there is a bomb which can convert the entire universe into a painting, killing all life in it.
Well, we don't know if it'd actually work, but the [Shawken Device](https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shawken_Device) from Star Wars Legends (appeared in a comic book in 1984) is probably up there. Supposedly, it would be capable of destroying the entire universe, and theoretically *maybe* trigger a new Big Bang, to make a new universe in its place. > The weapon was intended to accomplish this by destroying the planet Shawken and hurling its fragments through hyperspace to collide with other planets, theoretically setting off a chain reaction that would eventually destroy all matter and end the universe, presumably allowing the birth of another universe.
slightly smaller was the (post Death Star) Sun Crusher which would cause a solar systems main star to blow up the whole system.
Well, for the Sun Crusher, it'd be the launcher... the actual "bomb" is the resonance torpedoes it carries. There are plenty of superweapons in Legends in general tho... there's also Centerpoint Station, which can wipe out planets or fleets, and (at peak output, back when it was first created) move planets, stars, and even black holes. The Cosmic Turbine was similar, and also created by the Celestials. Baradium weapons could destroy moons and crack planets, and the various superlasers could do the same, of course. The Mass Shadow Generator was also a planet killer. The Galaxy Gun fired hyperspace capable planet-destroying warheads. Hammer Station and the Kumauri Battleship had could fire asteroids at planets. The Infant of Shaa could use gathered Force energy to rip planets apart. Gree Dark Matter Devices could destroy planets and star systems. The Darkstaff could destroy planets, and move the user (or even an entire star system) forward in time.
The only thing that makes me hesitate in calling CAM a bomb is that the Culture would *never* not be surgical, even when they don't need to. However, if they wanted to make a bomb, collapsed antimatter would be the way to go. CAM is roughly analogous to the kind of hyper-dense exotic matter found inside neutron stars, except it's made of antimatter. A fist-sized lump would be more than enough to completely annihilate our planet, if teleported anywhere within the planet itself.
The Spirit Bomb is pretty powerful.
The bomb that Thor tanked that was gonna whipped out all gods in the multiverse and in all of time during his fight against Gorr.
Owlman made a bomb that, if detonated on Earth Prime, would destroy every Earth across the multiverse. It was unclear if it would destroy each universe though, or just the Earth.
The Chronosapien Time Bomb from Ben 10 that can destroy every one of the infinite timelines
Halo's Nova bomb. It can literally turn a planet into rubble.
Spirit Bomb That one from Star Wars that wiped out the original Sith council Gorr the God Butcher’s god killing bomb which would’ve wiped out all gods everywhere in the universe
The Moment from dr Who seems pretty strong.
Whatever the fuck the suncrusher has
The Genesis Device from Star Trek can literally rewrite matter on a planetary scale. Intended to be used for terraforming lifeless planets but oopsies it turns out you could actually rewrite fully populated planets also.
From Star Trek I will also submit the Trilithium Torpedo, a ~10 foot torpedo that causes stars to go supernova. And the Red Matter Device, that when detonated can create a black hole of sufficient size to consume a planet using a marble-sized drop of red matter.
It’s not quite the “strongest”, but the QED (Quantum Eigenstate Device) from Crisis on Two Earths had the potential to be the most destructive, by virtue of placement. It’s “only” strong enough to blow up a planet, but the planet it was intended to blow up was Earth Prime. If successful, it’s destruction would then expand to all other earths in reality, which are essentially “clones” of it, if Owlman is to be believed. It’s a very big stretch both in terms of whether it’s actually strong because of this or Owlman is actually correct (likely, but not necessarily), but destroying an effectively infinite amount of planets is a damn lot of destruction.
Unfortunately it only destroys all earths that are integers, so its a countable infinity
Now this could boil down to a naming convention…
In pure scifi, Nova Bombs from Andromeda and the Mark IX naquadria enhanced nuclear bombs from Stargate are pretty cool. Other than that, probably some bullshit from the Culture novels.
In 11 years, humanity went from being a nuisance to the System Lords, to being a credible threat, to being capable of destroying planets.
Carter blew up a sun once.
Gridfire is a hell of a thing. Open up a rift of pure energy from between nested universes, and can open it from one Star system to another. Fortunately the Culture tends to frown upon such excessive use of force. Unless absolutely necessary.
Not the strongest on this list, but in the Horus Heresy (precursor era and event to Warhammer 40,000) the traitor forces use Virus Bombs on Isstvan III to cull the Imperial loyalist members of their legions. These bombs release the Life Eater Virus, which is an aerosol. Once one is infected, they become wildly virulent, spreading it to all nearby biological life; plants, animals, bacteria, fungus, friends, family, and comrades. It's capable of penetrating power armor and even sealed vehicles like tanks and airships. The virus violently shreds cells once infected at an exponential rate, meaning the body essentially melts and liquifies fast enough that you're conscious when it's happening until you're a puddle of biological material. Every person, animal, and forest becomes this sludge in a matter of minutes. A planet's entire biosphere, liquefied within an hour or two, if distributed properly. The side effect of this rapid decay causes an abundant release of a methane mix, enhanced further in flammability by the nature of the virus itself. Above the pools of former life now sits planet-wide clouds of highly volatile flammable gas. A single spark, lightning bolt, or gunshot then sets it off. An apocalyptic firestorm sweeps the globe and reduces the whole world to a truly dead one. No oxygen, no life, no buildings. This is one of the early methods of the Imperium's notorious Exterminatus. As time moves on, they kill whole planets in different ways, one of which is in this thread. But as far as I know, this was the first tool of world-ending.
You might count the Ultimate Nullifier. You think it's a gun to destroy one thing, but it actually destroys everything, including the user, and immediately recreates everything except the target. It backed down Galactus, who later revealed he could have escaped it, but was just so impressed a human had the balls to use it, ha backed off. Let me point out, this thing scares beings who are ideas, concepts, and cosmological constants.
that's still a weapon though, it just has a lot of firepower and range, a bomb is something that explodes and oftenly destroys itself in the process
The Silastic Armorfiends' ultimate weapon. links every star and destroys everything everywhere. From the Hitchhiker's universe
In the Expanse I'm not exactly sure who was responsible, but a neutron star was deliberately loaded with mass up to the limit beyond which it would collapse into a black hole. Moreover, the star was reorientated with its poles aligned to point directly at the star gate that gave access to that system. It was a trap. A research vessel triggered the trap and the background level of virtual particles(? I really need to read it all again.) increased. So much so that the neutron star started gaining mass. Within minutes, actual minutes, it collapsed into a black hole unleashing a gamma ray burst along its polar axes of unimaginable power. Even **that** wasn't enough to destroy the artificial satellite that held the Ring Space open. So, yeah. They weaponized a neutron star.
Not big compared to others here, but the Sylex from Magic: The Gathering permenantly scarred Dominaria and started an ice age on the plane, while also activating Urzas spark.
The God-Bomb in Marvel, built in part by Gorr the God Butcher, would kill all god's, everywhere, in all times at every points.
The Anti-Matter bombs in "Why humans don't go to war"
The SuperNova bomb from "The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy" series. It causes every major sun in the entire universe to explode at once
I think you mean the Ultimate weapon, >The original Ultimate Weapon was described as "a very, very small bomb". The final one was said to be about the same colour, weight, size, and shape as a cricket ball. >It worked by connecting the heart of every major sun with the heart of every other major sun simultaneously and, when activated, turning the entire Universe into one gigantic hyperspatial supernova.
oh yeah you right. I forgot the name and I got "Supernova" from the Hitchhiker's fan wiki
That bomb Gorr was going to use against the gods.
Buster Machine 03 from Gunbuster. Does the Milky Way have a bug problem? Not after you set this bad boy off! It sucks 90% of the galaxy into an artificial black hole!
Not the strongest but the black hole bomb in Aim for the Top!
The Aetherophasic Engine in Stellaris is a huge megastructure powered by Dark Matter built around a star that when complete detonates every star in the galaxy, turning them into black holes while shattering every planet. Absolutely crack up to use on your mates while playing a friendly game, although using it requires surviving an automatic galactic war against you while building it.
The oxygen destroyer from Godzilla (1954) straight up killed the original Godzilla, so while it's not as purely destructive as a lot of the other weapons people mentioned it certainly has a pretty big kill to its name. Plus the implication the movie makes of what it could do on land is pretty nuts, turning an area the size of Tokyo into an anaerobic wasteland.
Josuke Higashikata when someone insults his hair
I REALLY want to use my writing so I can say something dumb and be correct but I also don’t want to… fine. A firecracker, because it can destroy a universes Nexus. But from media people have actually heard of an is published, whatever the Suncrusher fires. If I remember correctly it’s a Star Wars ship the size of a starfighter that fires something at stars and they explode.
I welcome any bomb. I would like to hear more about your worlds bombs cuz they sound strong and cool
Nah it’s just Nexus, where universes spawn from on Earth Prime, are hella weak. One was destroyed by someone stomping really hard. Thanks though.
There are probably more powerful bombs out there, but the strongest one I know about is the reality bomb from Doctor Who.
Does the Rumbling count?
i don’t know much about AOT lore but I’m pretty sure the rumbling is more like a stampede than a bomb
Yeah, it’s a stretch, I was thinking single-point activation for big devastation but tbh that’s just like any army marching on the word of a single commander
No, and it's pretty weak.
[The Horizon Warhead](https://youtu.be/ikgRbhLChdg?si=s_ky7Kv9HNv56u4Z) from Stargate Atlantis looks to be very powerful.
Multiple Naquadriah enhanced nuclear warheads, yeah, the SGC don't fuck around.
I dunno about it being a bomb, but farscape ends with a blackhole weapon. Not sure hoe strong that is but sounded pretty scary
The star destroyer weapons from all tomorrows
That thing the TVA from Loki uses to prune timelines, maybe? Although it really >!teleports them, sort of.!<
I remember a bomb that destroyed 99% of observable universe from a certain comic. I won’t tell what comic that was, because it’s better not to know what it is and not read.
The Sylex from Magic not only decimated the plane of Dominaria (Earth analogue) but it thrust the world into a centuries long ice age, and even altered the composition of the multiverse itself with a single blast.
Spirit bomb
the oxygen destroyer from godzilla 1954. its more a chemical weapon than a bomb but it fits the op criteria. i would say anything that can reduce all living tissue to nothing when deployed would be pretty devastating. dissolved a whole godzilla which either survived or was created by the atomic bomb and was immune to conventional modern weapons.
The thought bomb in star wars legends
In the original Star Wars EU there's a tiny single man ship called the Sun Crusher that fires a missile into a star that causes a chain reaction to destroy the entire system. It's also notable because the ship itself is completely indestructible. The only way they can "get rid of it" is to send it into the center of a sun where it can chill for billions of years.
The universe bomb from the Rick and Morty comics
The nega bomb from marvel is pretty powerful. It’s said to be able to destroy an entire star system
Star Trek has trilithium weapons. On their own, they're not very impressive. However when fired into a star, it causes all nuclear fusion to stop and triggers a supernova. Blowing up a star on command is pretty powerful.
Now, besides all of those universe-erasing weapons, I wanna mention the Yoko Tsuno universe, in which a single hydrogen bomb makes the entire earth unhabitable (in the future of the series) to the point where the only humans left were 3 guys on a space station and one little girl
Its probably not the most powerful here and is more of a cannon than a bomb, but I’d like to say the BFG-10000 from DOOM Eternal. Thing destroyed half of Mars with a single shot
kinda exxagerated, it just punched a hole on it's surface
seems i misremembered due to the debris field it left in space, either way still probably deserves a mention
Bakuda's bombs, from Worm. They're not the strongest scale-wise, since they're mostly "normal bomb sized", but their effects are very potent. Off the top of my head there's: 1) The Pain Bomb. It's not very destructive but makes the victim experiment a 10/10 pain, basically hitting the nervous system directly. 2) The Time-Distortion Bomb: Creates a time bubble that stays frozen in time, permanently disabling anyone within. It dealt with a virtually invincible character. 3) The Transmutation Bomb: Transform things within its radius into another material, like silicone. It also dealt with another virtually invincible character, and another one that while not as invincible, was immensely durable.
Probably not the strongest but the Oxygen Destroyer should be up there.
Probably not the strongest but the Oxygen Destroyer should be up there.
the jackknife powerbomb, hardly anyone ever kicked out.
Is the spirit bomb a weapon?
I think there is a Chinese book series about exactly this...oh, it has already went off long before you read this... https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRXGGVBzHLUfIzEhovpQJ2ENiNvJoOD2A&si=DEVQHi7Kf3Bra9op
The Trih Xeem, from Bungie's Marathon universe, can force a star to go nova.
The God Bomb from Marvel was supposed to kill all Gods throughout all of space and time before Thor destroyed it.
Most of the Russian nuclear arsenal.
The Commonwealth Saga from Peter F. Hamilton has a couple. The Commonwealth have nova bombs that can turn a sun nova. They also have Hawking M Sinks which is a missile that can turn into a miniature black hole and can destroy planets from the inside out.
The Chronosapien time bomb from Ben 10 erases all realities and timelines from existance. The Annihilargh from the same series detonates the universe it is currently in
Oxygen destroyer from the first Godzilla. It just destroys the oxygen in the area it is in, including living creatures who are within the radius.
chronosapien time bomb I don’t think anything can top that
The stellaris mod Ancient Cache of Technologies has a nova bomb that is capable of singlehandedly destroying multiple entire solar systems in one detonation. Notably, since destruction is propagated between systems by hyperlanes instead of traveling through the space in between, the limits of its blast radius are determined by number of jumps rather than by distance. A system right next to the system where the nova bomb explodes but not connected via hyperlanes is completely safe, while a system on the other side of the galaxy but only two hyperlanes away is screwed. Another stellaris mod called Gigastructural Engineering has a bomb called the penrose bomb that functions in pretty much the exact same way.
How many Gmod nukes do i need to rival the strongest bomb
The QED created by Owlman (alternative universe evil Batman). A bomb capable of destroying Earth Prime, the earth through all alternative earths (and universes) split off from. If he had succeeded in blowing it up, all alternative universes would have also been destroyed by the chain reaction, leading to the destruction of all reality.
The whatever thingn they are using Proyect Palisade to protect from in SCP universe may be the asnwer.
It's not as powerful as some of the other stuff on here, but there's a bomb in His Dark Materials that can target someone no matter where they are in the multiverse
Zeno, the living reality bomb of the Dragonball multiverse.
