That's Jemaine from Flight of the Concords, by the way. Jeeze he was creepy in MiB3. My wife had to look away from the screen.

@BLT That's a power, not a weapon. Magneto is badass though.
@Fluffy Weirding Module. Nice choice.
@Ken That would be the Glaive.

Not the best weapon out there, but I enjoy Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Mʔ

You must have heard that they auctioned off that big, clunky phaser rifle from one of the original series pilots.

Generic is right. Lightsaber should effectively end this discussion.

I assumed (apparently incorrectly) that BLT wasn't referring to the power, but to the bridge.

Oh, and speaking of weapons of choice, yesterday I finally bought and installed REAPER, because Logic's been getting pretty horrible lately thanks to Apple's ongoing policy of inattention and apathy towards pro users. I like it. It's got a lot of rough edges but it also feels a lot more powerful than Logic, even if you have to do a lot more fiddly crap for the simple things.

That's why Magneto is so awesome. His power can make ANYthing a weapon. Lightsaber, cha. He can make it inactive. Then make the handle go up 500 feet in the air and come back down right through Luke's body. Then be all, HA, I totally used the force.....of gravity bitch! :P

But fair enough, it IS a power, not a weapon.
