Lightning dagger

The Lightning dagger is the primary weapon used by Orlin Dwyer in his rampage as Cicada.

History
When the S.T.A.R. Labs satellite was knocked out of orbit by Clifford DeVoe following the failed Enlightenment, pieces of the satellite impacted in 46 different locations. Cicada's dagger was a piece of shrapnel from the core of the satellite, where the dark matter concentration was the highest.

The dagger is the same piece of shrapnel that gave Orlin Dwyer the wound in his chest. As a result, he became connected to the weapon, due to the fact that he obtained his powers alongside it. The dagger has become Orlin's signature weapon to kill meta-humans in his mission as Cicada.

Powers

 * Psionic bond: The dagger shares a psychic connection to Orlin Dwyer, as it originated from the same satellite which gave the latter his powers. Orlin can mentally summon the dagger to him and is the only individual who can use it.
 * Power negation: The dagger has the ability to negate meta-human powers. However, the dagger is only capable of disabling meta-human powers that originate from dark matter; Killer Frost's powers are still able to manifest in the dagger's presence, since she gained her powers through other means.
 * Electricity generation: Cicada's dagger can also generate red electricity.
 * Force-field generation: When the dagger lodges itself into the ground, it generates a force-field of red energy.
 * Meta-human detection: The dagger glows red if a meta-human is near.

Weaknesses

 * Team Flash were able to temporarily negate the influence of the dagger by imbuing a piece of metal with a high quantity of dark matter energy.
 * The dagger is only able to negate the power of metahumans created by the particle accelerator; as a result, it has no effect on Killer Frost, as she was created through other means.
