10 Ridiculous Comic Book Weapons You Won't Believe

6. The Corpse Disc

When a weapon looks like the kind of thing people take illegally at raves, you know it's going to be really weird.

The Corpse Disc - which comes in the form of a sort of penny-shaped glowstick - is used by the Green Lanterns for covert operations, where having a Lantern Ring out would give the game away. It works very much in the same way the Rings do, only the powers it bestows are temporary - which is actually a great thing, because it means you don't have to try and get the coin back out of you after your super-secret spy mission.

This sneaky weapon is so top secret that we've literally only seen it in one comic story, when Guy Gardener is offered one for a spy mission in the Green Lantern Corps series. At the end of this story, Gardener's memory of the weapon is wiped, and we literally never see the mysterious object again.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
