#1 Web Shooters
Top Marvel Tech Web ShootersWhile not as powerful as Sentinels or the Helicarrier, Peter Parker's Web Shooters is simply one of the best techs in the Marvel Universe; it's more grounded in reality than Iron Man's Armor or even the Fantasticar. Hear me out before calling me crazy...

Peter Parker comes up with a new chemical liquid that solidifies into a gooey texture when exposed to air. Even more remarkable is that the chemical is strong enough to hold several hundred pounds (at least)... and his later refinements makes it even stronger. Yet it's elegant enough to stretch, gooey enough to stick to any surface, and can even expand to create net-like structures. And best of all? It dissolves in an hour.

This is really only half of the equation though, because the web shooters themselves are an important device for controlling the flow and distribution of the liquid, allowing Spider-Man to form long strands of rope, create small impact spheres, or make web-like blankets to cover a large area. With just a touch of a button, he can control what kind of web he wants! It's really the ultimate touch sensitive "app".

Most importantly, it all makes sense. The beauty of Spider-Man is that it's almost always grounded in science (assuming you can ignore the offensive One More Day storyline), and Web shooters are no exception -- it's astounding that Stan Lee and Steve Ditko was able to create such an amazing device that's scientifically logical and looks good on paper.

The Web shooter is one of the earliest and easily the best tech in the Marvel Universe.

The ultimate nullifier was actually created by the RIAA in the future and was thought to be the only way to stop piracy. It failed, and instead rose up and destroyed the RIAA because they were then recognized as being among the largest aholes on the planet, whose single-minded stupidity and willingness to do ANYTHING to stop piracy, no matter how incredibly insane or damaging would eventually result in the destruction of everything.

It was sent back in the past to serve as a warning, along with an electronic book explaining all this, but unfortunately, it ended up in the hands of one Ralph Hinkley/Hanley (wiki it) A.K.A. The Greatest American Hero, who promptly lost it.

It is believed to have been made by Apple. Sounds like the sort of thing they'd do.

You forgot about the Zodiac Key.

Bridge to the negative zone, Mad thinkers android, Kang's gear, Nimrod,some of Reed's builds, Leader's builds, etc. Helicarrier is not even top 50.

That was a cool read! I would have included the Iron Man suite but do not really know what to replace it with. What is the Iron Man armor made out of anyway? If it's not made out of Adimantium and/ or Vibranium then it's hard for me to comprehend how Invincible Iron Man really is.

A Helicarrier trumps Dooms TIME MACHINE? It does not even trump doombots.

What's even more astonishing is why no one's ever destroyed the Ultimate Nullifier before. Much less why someone would invent one. It's like putting a self-destruct button on your car. Who does that?

Stats were published for the helicarrier (normal version) for the MArvel RPG game in 80's. Not to mention there are several models of Helicarrier. Several have been destroyed during service as well. The best was Hercules downed it witha chunk of the Golden Gate Bridage, defenders fughting Godzilla.
