I would go with Spawns cape since it can transform into any weapon that I could use and I don't care what anyone says, capes are awesome!

As for one I'd use in everyday life, Superboy's x-ray glasses from the 90's. Because I don't have a girlfriend.

DC top five

1)Batman's Utility belt

2) White Lantern ring

3) mother box

4) Blue Beetle scarab

5) helmet of fate

Marvel top five

1) Ironman Armor

2)Silver Surfer's board

3)Fantastic car

4)the x-jet

5)nova core helmet

Nice list! Things like the Helmet of Fate and Beetle Scarab did not even pop into my head when I started thinking of items. I was looking towards purely tech devices.

Here are my choices in no particular order:

From DC:

1) Helmet of Fate

2) Miracle Machine

3) Claw of Horus

From Marvel:

1) Twilight Sword

2) Mjolnir or Stormbreaker

3) Ultimate Nullifier

From Image and associate publishers:

1) The Witchblade

2) Spawn's living suit (k7 Leetha)

3) Shadowhawk's Helmet of Heru

First thing that came to mind was the Web Shooters. Not the most powerful, but they are versatile, and would be loads of fun. Of course, it'll be hard to actually web-sling without Spider-Sense, Spider-Agility, and Spider-Strength. Oh well, I can still web people up, and play pranks on people, lol.

This.

Batmans Utility belt because it magically never runs out of stuff to use and is filled with many more gadgets.

P.S. The utility belt has magic containers that can hold anything perfectly for whatever he is given, as seen here around a minute in.

Spiderman's Webshooters, may not be the greatest thing to fight crime with but they are a lot of fun. Either that or Darkhawk's suit amulet.
