A Phlebotinum Bomb is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, minus the "Mass Destruction." Instead of destroying everything within its blast radius, it only destroys certain things, like life forms or computers, and leaves everything else miraculously untouched. Name comes from a dream one contributor had, in which he built "a Phlebotinum Bomb" from various bits of Phlebotinum to cause a planet-wide wave that would destroy all the evil shadow-monsters. A Sub-Trope of Trick Bomb and often a superweapon as its targets have no meaningful way of defense. May also be a Wave-Motion Gun. Not to be confused with a Fantastic Nuke, which is a full-on Weapon of Mass Destruction, but often runs on phlebotinum. A form of Damage Discrimination, giving this attribute to weapons is a possible way to justify Friendly Fireproof. In general, many examples of Smart Bomb will overlap with this. |

Divinity: Original Sin II: The Elven homelands were depopulated by a Fantastic Nuke that deployed Deathfog, which kills every living creature it touches. Justinia has a similar device shipped to the Arx, which the player characters can choose to deploy, inflicting the same fate on its citizens. | |

In Sonic the Hedgehog (Archie Comics), in the 21st century (which was ten thousand years before Sonic's plot started), an alien race known as the Xordas didn't take kindly to human scientists murdering and dissecting their peace-bringing emissary. They responded by detonating "gene-bombs" across the Earth, which specifically targets all of its organisms' DNA; if they're human, they were to die (a tiny fraction survived and devolved over 10,000 years into the Overlanders, like Robotnik and such), but as for non-human animals, they evolved into the Mobians during said period (e.g., Sonic and pals), and were meant to be the new dominant species of the planet. They even created all of the Chaos Emeralds (yes, the Master Emerald included)! | |

In Seeing Redd, the sequel to The Looking-Glass Wars, there is a device called WILMA (Weapon of Inconceivable Loss and Massive Annihilation), the exact workings of which are kept somewhat vague, but the effects of which seem to be destroying the imaginative powers of anyone within range. | |

In the Justice League Unlimited episode "Dead Reckoning", Gorilla Grodd constructs a Devolution Device as part of the master plan he's been working on for the first half of the final season, but the effect is only temporary. Even worse for Grodd, finding out that this was his master plan finally gets Lex Luthor annoyed enough to shoot him and take over the Injustice League. | |

In the last episode of Power Rangers in Space, Zordon tells Andros to break open his tube, killing him, eliminating the Power Rangers' source of power, and most importantly wiping out all evil in the galaxy. It works, destroying nearly every villain that ever appeared on the show except Divatox, Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, who are inexplicably turned into yuppies. Considering how many seasons there have been since then, this obviously didn't take. | |

In Jet Dream, the mysterious Virus-X is tested on the Thunderbird Squadron, changing them from T-Birds to T-Girls. Later, the sinister forces of Z.E.R.O. detonate a weaponized Virus-X bomb over Miami Beach, Florida, turning the entire male population into women. Jet Dream finds an antidote in time to reverse the effects on the city, but it's too late for the T-Girls themselves. | |

The Death Mask from Astro Boy: Omega Factor is a gigantic Mayincatec-looking Kill Sat that can generate a worldwide EMP that would kill all the robots on Earth, created as a contingency plan in case a Robot War breaks out. Unfortunately, its power source Omotanium can also emit radiation harmful to humans, making it possible for the device to eradicate humanity instead, leading to extremists on both sides trying to gain control of the weapon. | |

The Necrotic Mutox (or Rust Gas) of Thief II: The Metal Age can function this way. The reaction it causes will spread until it runs out of organic matter to fuel it, with no inherent size or range limit other than constantly needing fresh material to spread to. It can (and was likely intended to) consume all organic life on the planet and is explicitly expected to destroy all human life. | |

The Machineries of Empire: Threshold winnowers cause every aperture in their area of effect — from doorways to eye sockets — to boil over with spectral eyes and "corpselight" that fatally mutates, exsanguinates, and/or outright cooks every living thing it touches. Even the Hexarchate, which ritually tortures dissidents to death on holidays, considers them a weapon of last resort. | |

Green Lantern: In the short-lived Guy Gardner comic book series, one of his many, many changes involves a bizarre alien heritage (now Canon Discontinuity) allowing him to generate any weapon he can think of from his own body. In short, his body is his Green Lantern ring. He creates a sticky nuke which only fries that which it is touching (Major Force). | |

In Freelancer, when the Hyper Gate is finally activated, all the Nomads get sucked through to some faraway sector, but the good-guy ships stay right where they are because the Hypergate messes with the power supplies used by the Nomads, since they all draw from the same quantum foam-based power technology. | |

X-Men Film Series: At the end of X-Men, Magneto tries to use a weapon that is supposed to turn normal humans into mutants but will actually kill them. In X2: X-Men United, Cerebro is repurposed to kill mutants by brainwashing the Professor into unintentionally killing them while the machine is targeting them. After that's foiled, Magneto alters it so it instead targets humans and lets the Professor keep going. Arclight's shockwaves in X-Men: The Last Stand allow her to target specific materials, the plastic weapons of the soldiers in this case. (In the comic books, she doesn't appear to be able to fine-tune it like that... and wouldn't have bothered sparing the soldiers anyway.) |

Stargate SG-1: The Goa'uld planet of Dakara turns out to be home to a device that can create or destroy anything, including specific lifeforms or objects. Ironically, the device was originally used to recreate life in the Milly Way Galaxy after a plague swept through it. While its range normally only extends to the planet it's on and the surrounding space, SG-1 manages to use it in conjunction with the gate system to destroy all the Replicator nano-bots in the galaxy. Later, the Ori are destroyed by the Sangraal (Holy Grail), a weapon designed to specifically destroy all Ascended beings in a galaxy while leaving all other lifeforms unharmed. Understandably, their followers remain a threat next season. |

The Halos in the Halo series are designed to starve out the Flood by killing all sentient life in the galaxy (including any Flood form more advanced than an infection form). Low-level lifeforms will survive the effect, but the Flood can't really feed on them. The Forerunners resorted to firing the Halos 100,000 years ago because there was no way to directly kill off all Flood forms without also killing off all life, period. | |

If the population rebels, the device will kill everyone on the planet while leaving the infrastructure intact to be resettled. The rebels try to seize the remote detonator before it's activated but are too late and must find and disarm the device before it counts down to zero. | |

Ball Lightning culminates with the discovery that macro-fusion can be used to destroy all the computer chips for hundreds of miles around. Ball lightning itself qualifies, as each instance has specific preferences as to what substances it'll cremate. | |

In Evolve, overloading a Patterson generator (like the ones powering FTL drives or large facilities) creates a pulse of minkowski radiation that kills every monster it hits. Unfortunately, that same radiation is intensely painful to the monsters even at low levels, higher levels can mutate them into newer and more dangerous forms, the overload process increases the output until it finishes building up, and they can detect Patterson tech. In short, any attempt to detonate a Patterson generator will be met with hordes of angry supermonsters dedicated to tearing it and you apart before it can go off. | |

In Uglies, society was nearly destroyed many years in the past by a bacterium that caused petroleum and its assorted byproducts to become unstable and burst into flame on contact with air. | |

In the Marvel Adventures version of the Incredible Hulk's origin, the gamma bomb is apparently supposed to be the anti-Neutron Bomb — destroy inanimate material, leave living things aside. That's not quite what happens, but you can say this about the end product — he doesn't specifically go after civilians and can be persuaded to try and save them. | |

The Secret Return of Alex Mack: The Collective base is covered in GC-161 bombs, which will empower regular humans — usually with unstable powers, thus temporarily incapacitating them while they get used to the changes — and dissolve Orphans. | |

The Xel'Naga artifact you assemble over the course of the Terran campaign in StarCraft II kills all Zerg and only Zerg within its blast radius. As a side effect, at full power it also cures infested humans and restores them to normal. | |

Books of the Raksura: A plot point in the final book. The villains obtain a Magitek artifact that can be activated to kill everything nearby that's descended from the Forerunner Precursors; the main characters have to prevent them from reaching its other component, an amplifier that can spread its effect across the continent. | |
