'Legends of Tomorrow': Jack the Ripper's scalpel to Clyde's shotgun, team now has a cache of Hellish weapons
Spoilers for 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' Season 5 Episode 10 'The Great British Fake-Off'
Last episode, the Legends were devastated by just ONE of the Fates' attacks, who took the life of one of their own. With at least two Fates now gunning for them — and their apparent intention to add a third Fate to their ranks — the Legends will need every asset they can get their hands on. Fortunately, thanks to a bit of overkill on Lachesis' (Sarah Strange) part, the Legends have now been able to get their hands on quite a lot.
Each of the Encores who were brought back to life were also granted their own special, green-glowing weapon empowered by the first of Hell itself. That weapon was usually lost when the Encore who wielded it was sent back to Hell, but the team managed to retain the sword of Ghengis Khan before sending him back to the Underworld and they have been using it ever since.
In the latest episode of 'Legends of Tomorrow,' however, John Constantine (Matt Ryan) and Zari Tarazi (Tala Ashe) went up against quite the assortment of Encores, called in from all over the world and its history. Not willing to let the last piece of the Loom fall into Constantine's hands, Lachesis threw nearly all of Astra's remaining souls at the problem — from Henry VIII to Jack the Ripper to Bonnie and Clyde — each with their very own, personalized Hell-weapon.
It wasn't long before the trickery of Zari and Constantine used the deviousness of the Encores to get them to turn on each other, and as they were all picked off one by one, the two were able to retrieve the weapons they left behind. While Jack the Ripper's scalpel might not be of much use, the remaning weapons feature three guns and, of course, the knife that stabbed Caesar. The Legends now have quite the armory's worth of Hell weapons.
More importantly, though, having retrieved the final Loom piece, the Legends are now in control of the Loom of Fate itself. They can weave histories with much greater control than even a time ship could give them. And between that and their Hell-weapons, it seems that the Legends have become more powerful than ever before, and hopefully, just powerful enough to deal with the Fates that are after them.
The next episode of 'DC's Legends of Tomorrow' airs May 5, on the CW.
