User(s)	Lois Lane (briefly) Nia Nal (briefly)
Function	Light wave emission Thumping

The solar hammer is a mysterious weapon of alien origins which, whenever it comes into contact with a surface, generates a burst of light energy.

History

The story and origin of the artifact are unknown, however it was somehow recovered by Superman in one of his adventures and stored in the Fortress of Solitude among many other artifacts and trophies.

When Oliver Queen, Barry Allen, and Cisco Ramon visited the Fortress in order to ask for Clark's help, a curious Cisco touched the hammer, and a dazzling explosion of light briefly blinded everyone, to which Lois Lane declared that he shouldn't touch it.

The heroes are victorious against Deegan and A.M.A.Z.O.

Lois then brought the weapon to Earth-1 and assisted Superman in the final battle with John Deegan, momentarily blinding him.

When Manchester Black and The Elite broke into the Fortress in search of a weapon to use against Ben Lockwood, he briefly stopped to admire the hammer. Later, Nia Nal used the hammer to test the limits of James Olsen's newfound Harun-El-induced powers.

Powers

• Light wave emission: The hammer emits a burst of light energy when it comes into contact with any physical surface. It is mainly used to momentarily blind opponents.

  • The baby Sun-Eater is later mentioned in "Stand and Deliver"​​​.
• Despite never being referred to as the "solar hammer", Elizabeth Tulloch revealed on Twitter that the artifact is actually a version of said item.
