The 12 Best Superman Gadgets

12. Time Telescope

Instead of messing with timelines firsthand, Superman uses the Time Telescope, a device that lets him send and receive messages across time without breaking reality. It’s his way of staying informed without triggering a Flashpoint-level disaster. | © DC Comics

11. Cosmic Anvil

Tucked away in the Fortress, Superman’s Cosmic Anvil can forge miniature suns – yes, actual suns. He mostly uses it to feed his pet Suneater, because only Superman would have a cosmic creature for a pet and casually create stars at home. | © DC Comics

10. Utility Belt

Superman might not be known for gadgets, but he keeps a utility belt for emergencies, like pulling out a Kryptonite ring to stop a mind-controlled Supergirl. It’s proof that even he plans for the unthinkable, especially when loved ones are the ones going rogue. | © DC Comics

9. Laser Guns

Fresh out of his battle with Doomsday and running on empty, Superman grabs a pair of high-tech laser guns to keep fighting while his powers recharge. It’s a rare sight, Superman with weapons, but when the world needs saving, he won’t wait around to feel invincible again. | © DC Comics

8. Kelex

Originally a servant of the House of El on Krypton, Kelex was rebuilt in the Fortress of Solitude and has stayed by Superman’s side ever since. More than just a helper, Kelex is one of Clark’s last true links to his lost home. | © DC Comics

7. A Magical Sword

In a future where the sun is sacrificed by power-hungry sorcerers, Superman turns to the one thing he normally avoids – magic. Wielding a mystical sword that restores his lost strength, he fights on in a world where his usual powers no longer work. | © DC Comics

6. Superman Robots

Hidden deep in the Fortress of Solitude, these robotic doppelgängers handle everything from defence to maintenance when Superman’s off saving the world. They might not have his heart, but they’ve got the strength and just enough of his face to fool intruders. | © DC Comics

5. Marquis

Stranded light-years from Earth in Superman: Lost, Clark depends on Marquis, a compact, highly advanced AI that fits right in his pocket. It monitors his vitals, tracks his location across the galaxy, and helps him find safety in the unknown, even if it can’t lead him all the way home. | © DC Comics

4. Kryptonian Telepath Armor

Cornered and weakened by Kryptonite, Superman turns the tide with a remote-controlled suit of Kryptonian War Armor, allowing his mind to do the fighting. Lobo never sees it coming, and when he destroys the suit, he thinks he’s won… not realising Superman’s already outsmarted him. | © DC Comics

3. Superman Armor

When brute force isn’t enough, Superman can wear Unchained Armor, built to boost his power and withstand serious firepower. He’s nearly unstoppable already, but this suit makes sure even military-grade attacks don’t stand a chance. | © DC Comics

2. Kryptonite Laser Gun

Tucked away in the Fortress of Solitude, this weapon is Superman’s backup plan for dealing with rogue Kryptonians like Zod. It fires concentrated Kryptonite energy, because sometimes, the only way to stop your equal is to use their weakness. | © DC Comics

1. Phantom Zone Projector

Created by his father, Jor-El, this powerful device lets Superman banish even the worst criminals into a bleak alternate dimension with no way out. It’s not just a gadget, it's a last resort that even Superman doesn’t take lightly. | © DC Comics
