World Bomb

The World Bomb, better known as Y Bom Byd, is an obscenely overpowered weapon developed by some really amoral scientists for some reason. Two of these weapons are known to exist- one that appeared in the still-canon-but-underdeveloped Moosa story Moosa a'r Bom Byd, and another used by the villain Pagan Prince in the ongoing Snail Boy webcomic series.

It is rumoured to have enough explosive power to blast a chunk half the size of the Earth into oblivion, but obviously this has never been reliably tested. The bomb is usually blue in colour, with rounded edges on its pretty fragile (At least as far as Snail Boy is concerned) casing, and features a digital timer to show how long the planet has to survive.
== Appearances ==
Moosa's encounter with the bomb, in a story for which only the cover exists, involved him being forced to disarm it after it was smuggled into the fireworks event for Couresbury's End of The World Festival. The events took place at some point between the events of Hubble Trouble and Rock Shock, and it is assumed he was successful because the world continues to be intact.
Snail Boy's encounter with the bomb gets even less useful context. Pagan Prince is seen in episode #1 of Snail Boy Comics, holding the bomb and proclaiming it is 'ready'. He sets the timer on it and, just before it detonates, Snail Boy smashes the weapon into numerous small fragments, disabling it for good. It is, so far, completely unknown what Pagan Prince's motive for wanting to demolish the Earth was, and we'd better hope it was a good one, and a failiure.
