Lets restrict it to roughly man-sized stuff so no Starships or anything. Weapons are ok, but why would you want an object and what would you do with it?

I'd personally go for a Tricorder from ST because the ability to scan objects, through materials, search for lifeforms, etc would be staggeringly useful.

I would pick a transporter. That would finally make long distance space travel and colonization a reality.

My own symbiote costume. Of course, it would have to have had another host with some sort of powers before I became it's new host. Doesn't necessarily need to be like Spider-man or Venom. Very useful in the fact that I would never have to change clothes or purchase new ones ever again as it does have the natural ability to shapeshift. Also amplifies the host's own strength and skills. Pretty sweet indeed.

Clothes that look normal but weigh 100 kilos. Shoes, wrist weights, and an undershirt. This way they still look like clothes, unlike those clunky lead leg weights and walmart 20-lb vests, so I can keep up my training without getting physically blocked by or draw attention to myself.

Someone once aptly described the tricorder as a "plot-forwarding device."

If I could have any device it would be a sonic screwdriver. You can do anything with that.

Portal Gun. It'd reduce the time it took to get anywhere by half.

I was going to say the exact same thing, almost word for word.

A cloaked Tardis -- yes I realize that's a fairly redundant feature but I like the idea regardless.

Wouldn't a TARDIS count as a ship though? And wouldn't that go against the rule of man-sized?

Having super strength, cloaking, super speed, and temporary invinsibility all in one.
I agree with this man.

A lightsaber or a teleport gun would be pretty awesome too.

The tricorder would be extremely useful.. but I'm going to have to go with lightsaber. I've had several dreams in which I had one, and it was beyond awesome.

Anything Doctor Who is ok with me, but don't you need to be a, like, a Timelord-level genious to really use one properly?

PS: I have 2 Sonic-Screwdriver replicas. :D

PPS: What about Captain Jacks Vortex Manipulator?
