One the biggest weapons of mass destruction (pun intended) I've seen was
from the anime 3 part series Gunbuster.  The alien race which used suns
to
hatch its young greatly outnumbered the humans so the humans started
using
devices which created black holes to destroy their fleets.  The final
episode dealt with the humans converting the planet Jupiter into a black
hole bomb and taking the bomb into the heart of the alien race.  The
bomb
ended up destroying a large portion of the galaxy.  Talk about extremes.

The series is worth watching if you get a chance.  Note the series does
contain parody elements that you may not understand.
