Throne

Thrones, man. Really, really fancy chairs. Chairs where kings... gods... champions sit. Thrones rule, because you have to be important to have one. I want one.

Check out this amazing throne. How much do you want to sit on this motherfucker?


Alot. That's how. This is the throne of Saint Peter. It resides in Saint Peter's Basilica, in Rome - and was once used by the popes. Unfortunately, my research suggests that you no longer sit on it. Such a waste. Anyways, the chair is often thought to have been actually "sat on" by Saint Peter himself, but was actually a gift to the Pope from "Charles the Bald" in 875. Very old chair.

Anyways, so now its a relic, or something. The incredible ornate bronze "decorations" were designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, in 1645. Not quite as old, but would still be a pretty good haul for a catburglar.

Irregardless, I'm not sure why I've been rocking the religious imagery so much lately, but still - those crazy Catholics sure know how to blow their money in spectacular fashion.

Archangels


This Archangel has a flaming sword. No wonder people believe in these crazy bastards. They're probably worried that if they don't, they'll get a flaming sword upside the head!

The concept of the "Wrath of God" is incredible. Its probably not going to "get you" but watch out for it, anyway. These guys would be his soldiers, or something. Epic. So not only do these guys get to fly around all over the place, but they get to wield flaming swords. Bad luck, Satan. I'm not sure you can top that.

The Ark of the Covenant


Man, religion had the best writing staff. This thing rules. Its basically just a really, really holy box. It holds the inscribed tablets of the 10 commandments, and was powerful enough to part the Red Sea, or the river Jordan, or some shit.

Badass.

Also - look at the crazy shit going on on top of that thing! Fuck! Two cherubim angels, pointing their wings toward each other. Fucking badass. Such a fancy box! I'd totally keep my vinyls in there.

Nah just kidding, I don't have "vinyls".

Angel Blade!

This is it. This is the greatest superhero ever conceived. Angel Blade. Fuck yeah man! How cool is that? Angel Blade. Would he be an angel armed with some kind of blade? Or would he be a human, somehow gifted by the angels with a magnificent blade? He would probably wear some kind of mask -- a white mask. Is that cool? I think it is.
