11 Most Powerful Weapons In DC History

2. The Anti-Life Equation

The most powerful, and certainly most dangerous weapon in all the DC Universe isn't a weapon at all, but a concept. The Anti-Life Equation is a mathematical algorithm that has a single proof: free will is nonexistent, which renders all life meaningless; hence the term, Anti-Life Equation.

The secret of the Equation existed among the minds of humanity, but split among all humans so that nobody ever knew it... or knew they had a chunk of it whirling around their minds somewhere.

The villain Darkseid made it his life's goal to obtain the Anti-Life Equation and when he finally did, it wasn't good for anyone. If you heard the completed Equation, Darkseid had complete and total control over you.

It also gave Darkseid a taste of immortality, control over the Antimatter Universe, and the ability to raise the dead. It lost a bit of its power following the Flashpoint crisis, but remains the most powerful weapon in all the DC Universe.
