10 Ridiculous Comic Book Weapons You Won't Believe

2. Baby Rattle Arrows

It's very difficult to not consider Adventure Comics #265 Green Arrow's peak, as it contains the candy cane arrow, the umbrella arrow, and - in a true comic highlight - the baby bottle arrow.

Hilariously, all these arrows have been lovingly crafted by a bunch of children trying to help the superhero out, and so Oliver Queen reluctantly takes every single one of the almost useless weapons, handicapping himself against any future enemy.

There are few moments - both in comics and in life - as genuinely funny as seeing an excited child explain how a baby rattle would be useful in a combat situation, and it's a dying shame that this moment wasn't memorable enough for Green Arrow to end up permanently stuck with one of these arrows in his holster.

But, Green Arrow did also create the 'gun arrow' and 'decoy cat arrow', so he doesn't have a lot of room to talk about designs seeming kind of silly.

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