Question

Because this weapon “takes a few seconds to warm up”, its owner had a car thrown at his head before he could disturb the mayor’s dedication of a bridge. Building this weapon requires the rare material wonderflonium, which should not be bounced. This weapon (-5[1])was used on a man (15[1])giving a speech (15[1])for a new homeless shelter, interrupting his line (15[1])“Everyone’s a (*) hero (10[1])in their own way,” though he finished (10[1])the last word (10[1])of that line after this weapon malfunctioned. This weapon should not be confused with a “Death (-5[1])Ray” or an “ice (10[1])beam”, which is used by Johnny Snow. The owner of this weapon imagined using it on a girl at the laundromat named Penny while singing about it on his video blog. For 10 points, name this weapon invented by the supervillain Dr. Horrible, which stops time. ■END■ (10[2]0[5])

ANSWER: freeze ray [reject “death ray”; prompt on descriptive answers like “a gun that freezes time” with “what is that weapon called?”]
