Who is Iron Man without his armor, or Thor without his hammer? Learn about the mightiest weapons ever made!

From Iron Man’s armor to Cap’s shield and Star-Lord blasters to Gamora’s godslayer, the Marvel universe is filled with iconic weapons, armor, and technology. Wielded by some of the greatest heroes and villains ever created, many of these objects have histories just as compelling as the characters who use them. Some are high-tech, futuristic creations; others have mystical origins. A few have destroyed worlds or sent entire empires crashing into dust. This is their story.
