  • A Doomsday device (or machine) is a mechanisim capable of destroying all life on a planet, or the planet it's self. Doomsday devices have been the subject of literature, and art, especially during the 20th century making them the subject of popular fiction. However there have been real world propositions. In 1960 Herman Khan of RAND proposed such a device. His logic, was that it could act as a deterient. His concept consisted of a series of underground hydrogen bombs linked to a computer that would automatically set off these bombs after detecting a nuclear launch, thus bathing the Earth in nuclear fallout; wipping out all life upon her. The computer would do so without human consent, nor would it cease upon human action.
  • A doomsday device is a hypothetical construction — usually a weapon, or collection of weapons — which could destroy all life on a planet, particularly the Earth, or destroy the planet itself, bringing "doomsday", a term used for the end of planet Earth. Most hypothetical constructions rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs can be made arbitrarily large assuming there are no concerns about delivering them to a target (see Teller–Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with materials designed to create long-lasting and hazardous fallout (e.g., a cobalt bomb).
  • Doomsday Device, often shortened to Device, is a term used in wrestling to reference a tandem move in which one wrestler hoists the opponent on their shoulders so that they are facing in the same direction in what is known as the electric chair position, while another wrestler climbs the ring post to the top turnbuckle and delivers a flying attack on that prone opponent. It is also known as the Double Impact, especially in puroresu.
  • A doomsday device is a weapon that is capable of unleashing destruction on a large scale. Professor Farnsworth has built and/or collected numerous of these devices, but was forced to sell many of them to Hedonismbot when he lost his business to the Scammers. Although the Earth Constitution includes a guarantee of the right to bear doomsday devices, there is a three day waiting period for Mad Scientists. The National Ray-Gun Association, or NRA, feels this policy is unfair.
  • The Doomsday device is a device that Atomic Roger went to retrieve, he then returned to deliver it to DeGill. Not knowing of the events in No Space Like Home, Roger arrived at the remains of Galactic Guardian Headquarters. In his frustration, he kicked the device, accidentally (unknown to him) activating it.
  • The Doomsday Device is the modus operandi of any self-respecting Omnicidal Maniac and Mad Scientist. Usually completing one to hold the world hostage is his reason for living. Obviously, to build something this high on the Sliding Scale of Villain Threat, he needs a ton of Unobtainium or cosmic keystones to make it work, which the villain will have to steal in a string of smaller crimes that will draw the hero's attention to him long before it is complete.

abstract
  • The Doomsday device is a device that Atomic Roger went to retrieve, he then returned to deliver it to DeGill. Not knowing of the events in No Space Like Home, Roger arrived at the remains of Galactic Guardian Headquarters. In his frustration, he kicked the device, accidentally (unknown to him) activating it. Arriving on Earth to ask Betty about the new location of Headquarters, the device was separated from him and Purrsy got his claws on it and thought it was some kind of giant cat toy. Betty, Roger, and her team united to find the device before it went off. Betty was able to find the device and Sparky and X-5 teleported it to an uninhabited beach planet before it went off, the same planet, which unfortunatley, Maximus I.Q. and Minimus were vacationing at. (Roger, Where Are You?)
  • The Doomsday Device is the modus operandi of any self-respecting Omnicidal Maniac and Mad Scientist. Usually completing one to hold the world hostage is his reason for living. Obviously, to build something this high on the Sliding Scale of Villain Threat, he needs a ton of Unobtainium or cosmic keystones to make it work, which the villain will have to steal in a string of smaller crimes that will draw the hero's attention to him long before it is complete. You may notice that in story terms, a Doomsday Device is one big MacGuffin powered by several smaller MacGuffins. Having one in a story is essentially giving a villain a "Collect The Plot Coupon" quest and having the hero stop them. The nature of the Doomsday Device does not matter unless it is actually activated. It rarely is, outside of deconstructions or backstories of ruined worlds. It can essentially do anything, as long as the end result is global or near-global destruction. An Earthshattering Kaboom, an army of Nanomachines, a Zombie Apocalypse, Weather Control, Frickin' Laser Beams, or a particularly large Horde of Alien Locusts. It's the scale that makes it a Doomsday Device. Typically, a villain will construct one that best reflects his personality. Also keep in mind, that the entire point of a Doomsday Device is lost... if you keep it a secret, nein? Compare with Lost Superweapon and Artifact of Doom. See also Pointless Doomsday Device. The method of many Apocalypse How and Apocalypse Wow events. Examples of Doomsday Device include:

Most hypothetical constructions rely on the fact that hydrogen bombs can be made arbitrarily large assuming there are no concerns about delivering them to a target (see Teller–Ulam design) or that they can be "salted" with materials designed to create long-lasting and hazardous fallout (e.g., a cobalt bomb). Doomsday devices and the nuclear holocaust they bring about have been present in literature and art especially in the 20th century, when advances in science and technology made world destruction (or at least the eradication of all human life) a credible scenario. Many classics in the genre of science fiction take up the theme in this respect. Since the 1954 Castle Bravo thermonuclear weapon test demonstrated the feasibility of making arbitrarily large nuclear devices which could cover vast areas with radioactive fallout by rendering anything around them intensely radioactive, nuclear weapons theorists such as Leo Szilard conceived of a doomsday machine, a massive thermonuclear device surrounded by hundreds of tons of cobalt which, when detonated, would create massive amounts of Cobalt-60, which would render most of the Earth too radioactive to support life. RAND strategist Herman Kahn postulated that Soviet or US nuclear decision makers might choose to build a doomsday machine that would consist of a computer linked to a stockpile of hydrogen bombs, programmed to detonate them all and bathe the planet in nuclear fallout at the signal of an impending nuclear attack from another nation, or even if other unwanted activity is detected by the owning nation's computer and sensor network (what Kahn facetiously called a "US or Soviet Criminal Code" of actions that would trigger the doomsday machine). The doomsday device's theoretical ability to deter nuclear attack is that it would go off automatically without human aid and despite human intervention. Kahn conceded that some planners might see "doomsday machines" as providing a highly credible threat that would dissuade attackers and avoid the dangerous game of brinkmanship caused by the massive retaliation concept which governed US/Soviet nuclear relations in the mid-1950s. However, in his discussion of doomsday machines, Kahn raises the problem of a nuclear-armed nth country triggering a doomsday machine, and states that he didn't advocate that the US acquire a doomsday machine. For many, the scheme epitomized the extremes of the suicidal logic behind the strategy of mutual assured destruction, and it was famously parodied in the Stanley Kubrick film from 1964, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

The computer would do so without human consent, nor would it cease upon human action. The ethics of a doomsday device usually follows suicidal logic. Promoters of such arms claim such a machine would be useful in freeing humankind from some emense dread, for example, rather then waiting with a countdown for the sun to explode, the people of Earth could elect to set off a Doomsday Device, thus ending their lives in a manner of their choosing, and excaping the stressful dread of solar annihilation. Others, like Herman, promote them as part of mutually assured destruction. Mutually assured destruction is a situation in which if two aggressors take to battle against each other, neither shall win, and both share parish. The doomsday device would take this to global levels, and following this logic, deter man from war.

It is also known as the Double Impact, especially in puroresu. The Doomsday Device name comes from a popular wrestling tag team known as the Road Warriors, who innovated the basic version of this move in which a flying clothesline is hit on the opponent who is being set up in the electric chair position; knocking the opponent off the shoulders of the grounded wrestler, who pushes up on the opponent's legs to flip them backwards as they fall to the mat. The Destruction Crew would use it years later, calling it the Wrecking Ball. A slight adaptation of the standard device, best known as the Dudley Boyz's Dudleyville Device, sees the wrestler (in this case Bubba Ray Dudley) keep hold of the opponent's legs, falling backwards with them and completing a traditional electric chair drop maneuver.

Professor Farnsworth used a doomsday device to power Bender after regenerating the robot, though Bender was forced to party continuously in order to burn off the excess energy being produced by the battery. Bender eventually refused to party any longer, and nearly exploded as a result of the device overloading. He was swallowed by a Cyclophage before the device could rupture, and the device short-circuited as a result, eliminating its excess energy outputs and turning it into an ordinary battery. Professor Farnsworth and Hermes Conrad later threw a box full of doomsday devices into a dumpster during a community recycling event at CitiHall.
