- "It's called the Universal Weapon."
"Oh, really? I was gonna call it Cosmi-Rod." - ―Carol Danvers and Kamala Khan[src]
The Universal Weapon is a Kree war-hammer wielded by the Accusers.
History[]
Used by Ronan[]
Ronan the Accuser wields the Universal Weapon
The Universal Weapon was Ronan's main weapon and used to primarily to execute captured members of the Nova Corps. When summoned to the Sanctuary by Thanos, Ronan was warned by The Other to show the Mad Titan courtesy. Annoyed by the vizier's ranting, Ronan used the Universal Weapon to twist the Other's head 180 degrees, killing him.
The Universal Weapon is destroyed
Once he obtained the Orb, Ronan placed the Power Stone in the Universal Weapon, enabling him to use its power. By doing so, he was able to destroy the Nova Corps' entire fleet during the Battle of Xandar. Drax the Destroyer destroyed the Universal Weapon with the Hadron Enforcer, enabling Star-Lord to catch the Stone with his bare hand.[2]
Used by Dar-Benn[]

Capabilities[]
Standard[]
Built from advanced Kree technology, the Universal Weapon is an effective tool in battle.
- Concussive Blast: The Universal Weapon can fire a blast of concussive force that was strong enough to twist the Other's head around 180 degrees, as well as send Star-Lord, Drax, Groot and Gamora flying several meters.
Power Stone[]

When merged with the Power Stone, it has also displayed various other attributes such as:
- Energy Projection: When combined with the Infinity Stone, the Universal Weapon is capable of discharging purple blasts of concentrated energy.
- Planet Killer: When combined with the Infinity Stone, the Universal Weapon had the potential to obliterate an entire planet, but the stone was wrenched from the hammer before Ronan was ever given a chance to do this.
