Also called the Holy Lance, the Spear of Destiny is an ancient relic in the DC universe. It was first held by a roman soldier who used it to pierce the side of Christ during the Crucifixion. Being stained with divine blood, the spear took on a number of mystical properties that make it a formidable weapon.

The spear was largely lost to history until it was uncovered by the Third Reich. Hitler found he could use it to create a bubble of interest that would repel superhumans and keep them from interfering in the war.

Any hero caught in this bubble would fall under his sway and become his puppet. Thankfully, the Spectre managed to retrieve the spear from Hitler's hands - but not before the Fuhrer managed to curse it.

It has been used since, but the effects of Hitler's curse make it much more difficult to wield. However, the spear is still an incredible weapon. Along with being able to control superhumans, the spear is the only weapon that can kill both holy and unholy entities, can be used in various rituals to undo God's decrees, and can even be used to rewrite or restore reality. At one point, Spectre even used it to undo the Anti-Life Equation.
