Top 50 Fictional Weapons of All Time

The phaser from Star Trek is #5 and the lightsaber from Star Wars is #4. The Green Lantern power ring is #1.

Lightsaber should have been # 1

I agree.

Good lord, people.

With a Green Lantern ring you can just make a lightsaber. Those things are already made of energy and most of them are green. It'd be a cinch. Hell, you can make a machine gun, a giant robot, a suit of armor, a dragon...I could go on and on. One of my favorite GL moments is Kyle Rayner creating an Amtrak train with his ring and flattening Mongul.

The rings also act as a scanning device, translator for freaky alien languages, gives you the ability to fly, and creates a cocoon to protect the wearer in outer space. Even better, DC got rid of that goofy yellow immunity years ago. So yeah, a Green Lantern ring has it all over one of those puny lightsabers.

P.S. - Never get a comic book fan riled up.

I'll admit the ring should have been in the top five. It's just (with the exception of Raynor) most GL's make stupid stuff with there rings. I mean how many times did Hal Jordan make a giant umbrella? Plus the damn thing is stopped by the color yellow! The most ridiculous weakness in all of comics. I mean essentially if I was a super villain and wore a yellow rain coat and drove around in a school bus a GL couldn't do jack to me.

Edit: I did not realize they stopped the yellow weakness.

Edit2: Jordan didn't really make anything cool with his ring IMO until he went nuts and tried to recreate Coast city. I think that one moment showed the true power of a GL ring.

Can't believe the Green Lantern ring is #1. I never read the comic but isn't that winning akin to giving "the most cool item" award to someone with a winning lottery ticket?

i have to amint. this thread took me by surprize.

no comment. lol

The thing about the Green Lentern ring is that it's not possible to have such a thing. At least the lightsaber and phasers are a possibility thus being more realistic.

How the hell did I get called out on this? I haven't even responded!

I will admit that when I play my Marvel Comics PS2 game my favorite hero to play is Green Lantern. I mean, the guy has those cool rock grinders that kick the crap out of everything! And the ring turning into a saber? Sounds like the shwartz in Spaceballs!
