The best thing about writing fiction is that the writers are in charge of setting the scales and many comic book writers and movie directors have done just that. There are so many weapons and technology that are ridiculously overpowered, from Marvel’s Sentry super-soldier formula to DC’s Anti-Life Equation.
However, there are comics outside of the mainstream sphere that feature godly weapons. Some of these comics include those from Image, Valiant, and even comics without superheroes. Many of these overpowered weapons have become as powerful as they have due to the power creep that's inherent to long-form serialized fiction.

1 The Tech Jacket Is One Of The Most Powerful Weapons In The Image Continuity (Invincible)
The Tech Jacket is an incredibly powerful and versatile piece of armor created by the Geldarian race. Gifted to Zach Thompson by a dying member of the species, the vest could create a mechanical exoskeleton that comes with a variety of functions. The vest was so powerful it was even capable of killing Viltrumites and Zach was recruited by Mark Grayson specifically for that reason during Invincible's war with the Viltrumites.
Zach has been stated to be far more powerful than any Geldarian when wielding the Tech Jacket since the Geldarian race is so frail and weak. Not only does the suit enhance his body, but it also grants energy projection, space travel, and even sustains its host while worn. And while Zach may be reliant on the jacket, it is almost impossible to remove.
