10 Strangest Comic Book Doomsday Devices Of All Time

One of Marvel's darkest super teams was called the Illuminati and has probably one of the highest kill counts of any other group of heroes or villains.

This super-secret club was fielded by the best and brightest Marvel Heroes, each of whom voted on how to best handle several major problems the rest of the Marvel Universe couldn't - like deporting the Hulk into outer space and gathering the Infinity Stones to keep safe from Thanos.

However, the Illuminati's biggest trials began when the multiverse started collapsing in on itself and the only way to save their world was to destroy the alternate realities that were appearing in the sky.

To destroy the other Earths the Illuminati constructed several world-ending devices, the strangest and least effective of which was Tony Stark's Dyson sphere, known as Sol's Hammer. Essentially it was a giant satellite that harnessed the power of our sun and fired that energy in a laser beam that could put the Death Star to shame.

Overall Sol's Hammer was a super deadly but super ineffective weapon that charged slowly and only ever reached around 1% of its full power. This honestly might have been a good thing because the one time Sol's Hammer was used, it disintegrated an entire enemy fleet of spaceships and also tore a hole into the side of the moon.
