Proxima Midnight's Spear was a three-pronged spear used by Proxima Midnight as her weapon. During the Infinity War, Midnight used the spear to attack the Statesman as well as to assault Vision. However, it was broken by Captain America using Corvus Glaive's weapon.
History[]
Infinity War[]
Attack on the Statesman[]
Proxima Midnight used her spear to kill the Asgardians that were on board the Statesman. When Thanos confronted Loki, Proxima Midnight held her spear right next to Loki's head, threatening to strike should Loki attempt to attack Thanos.[1]
Attack on Vision[]
Later, Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive arrived in Edinburgh, Scotland and ambushed Wanda Maximoff and Vision in an attempt to steal the Mind Stone from the latter. While Corvus Glaive was forcefully removing the Mind Stone out of Vision's head, Proxima Midnight used her spear to blast Scarlet Witch away, preventing her from interfering. Still, Scarlet Witch stood back and knocked away both members of the Black Order.
Proxima Midnight uses her spear against Wanda Maximoff
Proxima reclaimed her spear and used it to battle against Scarlet Witch, nearly killing her. When Scarlet Witch managed to briefly project Proxima Midnight into a burning car and attempted to flee through the air with Vision, Proxima Midnight shot them both with her spear, causing them to fall into the city's train station. Proxima Midnight and Corvus Glaive caught up with them and prepared to attack Scarlet Witch, only to discover Captain America hiding behind a passing train.
Proxima Midnight's spear is blocked by Captain America
Proxima Midnight hurled her spear at him, but Captain America was easily able to catch it. He then threw it to Black Widow, who used the spear to heavily wound Corvus Glaive. In the ensuing fight, Proxima Midnight reclaimed her spear and tried to strike Black Widow with it, but Captain America stopped her by using Corvus Glaive's Glaive and broke her spear in half. As the Black Order was defeated, they fled, leaving the halves of the spear behind.[1]
Alternate Reality Versions[]

Capabilities[]
Proxima Midnight's spear was a very powerful and dangerous weapon, with its material being strong enough to cut through stone as Proxima Midnight manage to pierce a wall while chasing Vision and Wanda Maximoff. However, the spear was broken in half by Captain America using Corvus Glaive's Glaive. In addition of being a formidable weapon being used both in melee combat and as a throwing weapon, the spear displayed the following capabilities:
- Weapon Summoning: Whenever Proxima Midnight was away from her spear, she was able to telekinetically make it come to her. She demonstrated it during her fight against the Avengers in Edinburgh, where she summoned her spear from Black Widow's hands.
- Energy Blasts: The spear was able to fire powerful blasts of blue energy. These shots were powerful enough to project Scarlet Witch several meters away on two occasions, and to cause both Scarlet Witch and Vision to fall as they attempted to flee through the air.[1]
- Light Emission: Proxima Midnight could generate light on the edge of her spear in order to look into dark areas.[5]
- Electric Supercharge: The spear could generate a powerful electrical discharge that could electrocute multiple targets simultaneously.
