Plasma blaster
There's no mystery too tangled, no conspiracy too intricate, and no clue too obscure when Nightbeat's on the case. But since most mysteries won't be unraveled without a fight, he carries a plasma blaster with infra-red sighting to make sure he lives long enough to expose the truth.
Drag Strip also uses a trunk-mounted plasma-energy blaster, which should theoretically work like Nightbeat's. But confusingly enough, it actually fires explosive balls of energy, much like Headstrong's plasma sphere shooter at a range of 2000 yards. Apparently, he wants to brag to Nightbeat and Headstrong how much better his plasma weapon is.
Omega Supreme's primary weapon: arm-mounted plasma blaster. Can pulverize: 12' x 12' x 12' steel cube. Results: satisfactory. Most of the time.

Notes
- Omega Supreme's packaging bio states that his plasma blaster can destroy a 12" steel cube, which his Marvel Universe profile upscales to a 12' steel cube. Although his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile maintains that he can destroy a 12' steel cube, it genericises his weapon to an "arm-mounted cannon".
- Lightspeed's vehicle mode weapons being plasma blasters is oddly unique to his Marvel Universe profile: his toy's instructions call them "infra-red missile launchers"; his packaging bio expands this slightly to "infra-red scope missile launchers"; and his Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile calls them "infrared-targeted missile launchers".
- Nightbeat's Dreamwave More than Meets the Eye profile switches out his plasma blaster for a plasma rifle.
