High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A superweapon is an extremely powerful weapon by the standards of its time and its scale. Examples include the Tsar Bomba (the most powerful nuclear bomb ever made and detonated), various superguns and other various weapons employed to give a decisive advantage over opposing countries or forces. The given advantage is usually based on intimidation and demoralization of the opposing side. Historically, the majority of superweapons have given little to no tactical advantage at best, instead being part of a greater strategy.
