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 giving a speech for a new homeless shelter, interrupting his line “Everyone’s a (*) hero in their own way,” though he finished the last word of that line after this weapon malfunctioned. This weapon should not be confused with a “Death (-5[1])Ray” or an “ice 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[3])
