10 Comic Book Weapons That Broke All The Rules

3. The Miracle Machine

Superman Miracle Machine
DC Comics

The Miracle Machine, in essence, does what it says on the tin - it makes real any thought you input into it.

A creation of the Guardians of the Universe that was first used by the Legion of Super-Heroes far in the future, the Miracle Machine has found itself in the middle of several universe-altering events over the years, in particular Final Crisis, where it was utilised by Superman to undo the damage caused by Darkseid when he unleashed the Anti-Life Equation across the universe.

Because it's so powerful (and because it would seemingly solve almost every problem the DCU could possibly be met with), the Miracle Machine has not appeared since the events of Final Crisis.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
