An Apokoliptian weapon owned by Morgan Edge.
History
Wanting to get rid of his evil clone, Morgan Edge hires a henchman and gives him the Neutron Gun to kill it but is stopped by Superman. The radiation produced by the weapon proved to be too much for the Man of Steel, bringing him to his knees.
Capabilities
The weapon fires beams of Neutron radiation capable of instantly disintegrating a human being as well as causing Superman intense pain, who admitted he couldn't bear to take another shot from the gun.[1]
Notes
- According to Wikipedia, neutrons have a relatively high relative biological effectiveness, and are roughly ten times more effective at causing biological damage compared to gamma or beta radiation of equivalent energy exposure. These neutrons can either cause cells to change in their functionality or to completely stop replicating, causing damage to the body over time.
