NMA-Class Mallet

A primitive, brute weapon long ago lost to all but the most unevolved of civilizations, this mallet is currently DC's only mean of offense. It is approximately 3/4 her height, from tip of handle to bottom of head, and composed of high-grade Cybertronian alloys. A solid handle with a core of osmium to keep the handle from bending and breaking when lifting the mallet's head, which is quite heavy. The head, on the other hand, is partially hollow; the inside is made up of "compartments" of empty space, each seperated by eight-inch-thick walls of osmium/titanium alloy. The outer "shell" of the mallet head if made of an osmium/platinum alloy for superior hardness in addition to a nice shine.

In essence, it's little more than a giant hammer. Its special abilities are few in number; the most noteworthy of its uses are brought about by the handler. The mallet's lightweight interior and strong handle make it excellent for everything from brutal swings at opponents to careful taps to pound out dents in metal plating, like that of the Freedom's hull. It is, however, no more than a floating piece of space junk when in zero G: if used for attack in zero gravity, whether in space or otherwise, the holder will find his or herself spinning out of control until brought to a stop by, frankly, crashing into something.

What separates DC's mallet from others is one special quality she had programmed into it some time ago. When hurled, as she often does when in battles over long ranges, the mallet undergoes a boomerang effect of sorts. After striking its target, a magnetic pull between its handle and DC's wrist is initialized, causing it to rush back towards her the way it came. This magnetic feature is also used to attach itself to DC's back when she travels and can't be bothered with lugging it around by hand.
