Kinetic Hammer (UE-44)

"This hammer harnesses kinetic energy. The further it travels, the more energy it creates. From 20 feet, it can stop a car in its tracks. 30, a truck. From 60, it can destroy a tank. Anything beyond that rivals a blow from Superman."

- John Henry Irons

The Kinetic Hammer was a weapon utilized by John Henry Irons as the vigilante known as Steel.

History
Prior to the destruction of their home universe, Natalie and John Irons worked on creating a weapon against Superman. The concept was then reused by John and executed when he fought Superman of Earth-Prime.

During the battle, John summoned the hammer and was able to send Superman flying. Unfortunately, before he could completely defeat Superman, he was hit with Jonathan Kent's truck and was injured, leaving Superman bringing him to the DOD.

Prior to fighting The Eradicator, the hammer was upgraded with red solar technology in order to pierce his protective energy field.

After cracking the hammer on his second encounter with Bizarro, John eventually destroyed the hammer when battling him once more, soon taking severe damage afterwards.
