Functionality
The Meteor Blaster could use virtually any object as a powerful projectile. Explosive orbs and energy spheres could also be shot from the blaster, but these present an additional price that only the most successful criminals can afford. Villains were known to modify the blaster to suit their own preferences.
There are many variations of the Meteor Blaster, and some of them are also used by the Heroes. They include:
- The Furno Bike and Ultra Mach Speed Cycle's plasma blasters
- Lava Sphere Shooters
- The Witch Doctor's gun, which has two claws on the back
- Daniel Rocka's XL 3.0 form's gun
- Plasma Guns
- The Poison Plasma Gun
- The Shooting Volt Blaster
- The Plasma Shooter
- Arachnix
Example Usage
In Episode 4: Von Nebula, four members of Von Nebula's Gang used their Meteor Blasters to attack the Alpha 1 Team in New Stellac City.
