10 Most Powerful Swords In Comics History

By Lazar Cezara /

10. Ebony Blade

Marvel Comics

You’d expect Excalibur’s twin to be every bit as powerful as the famous sword from the Arthurian legend and mostly the Ebony Blade doesn’t disappoint. Forged by Merlin from a meteorite, this sword can cut through anything (a feature most of the blades on this list share), reflect magical attacks and prevent its wielder from being killed (the best quality you could ever wish in a sword).

However, as cool as the Ebony Blade sounds, it also comes with a curse included, something its main user, Dane Whitman aka the Black Knight, found out for himself, much to his misfortune. The sword, which seems to have a will of its own, can cause its wielder to go insane with bloodlust, which isn’t ideal, especially if you happen to be a superhero.

Nevertheless, the Ebony Blade has often been sought out for its powers, one time even falling into the hands of Malekith the Accursed, which as you can imagine, wasn’t all that bothered by the curse.
