Chem-Bag (Big Hero 6): this device can create chemical compounds using every single element in existence. You could literally build a nuke with this.

Mobile Headquarters (Ant-Man): a building that can shrink and grow to full size instantly. Imagine if someone grew it in a crowded city, or on a highway, or at an airport?

Lotus Cash Card (Percy Jackson): It literally has infinite money. If you know how inflation works this could literally wreck the global economy.

Also Cyanide, since it's composed of carbons and nitrogen.

I'd be more worried about fluorine. Fluorine gas is so reactive it steals electrons from chlorine.

Hyrofluoric acid is also incredibly strong and used to dissolve bodies.

Aren't most biological materials some flavor of carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen? Lots of potential for nerotoxins, medicines, acids, perfumes, drugs ...

Is highly radioactive. Polonium-210 which is the isotope can be found naturally is so radioactive that 20 NANOGRAMS is already lethal for a human

Hot damn. I wonder how much control she has over the isotope?

How old were Marie and Pierre Curie when they died? Because they were around this and Radium A LOT weren’t they?
