Hahaha. Sorry, you just opened yourself up to a geek-out.

Alot of it's serious sci-fi. For the Zeta tubes to work, you have to assume that Zeta radiation #1 exists and #2 works the way it does in the comics. The time machine required Zeta tech combined with Chronoton tech which also involves theoretical tech and particles.

Sphere, mmm...that's a pretty good ways off into the future and several jumps in programming, but the technology to make a floating sphere exists (there's a guy who lives in my area who figured out how to make a beach ball sized metal sphere float with a small average hardware battery [don't ask me how, I don't know]); I'm not sure about the sphere unfolding into a flying motorcycle thing, but the hover tech is out there (probably classified for the time being).

Mmm...Starro tech, if that's out there, it is so classified that it will never be unclassified. (Come on, mind control? what sort of idiot would unclassify that?)

The watchtower, yeah the only reason we don't have things like that now is a lack of funding and interest from the people in charge of space program budgets.

Laser weapons, you wouldn't see the pulses as little blips of light, it would be point, fire, vaporize at lightspeed or very close to it. Impossible to see unless you're the Flash or something.

Blue beetle's armor, if that kind of smart material exists, able to form armor or weapons in seconds, it would be, once again, classified as all get out, because lets face it, the governments of the world would not trust the population of the world with that kind of weapons tech. (heck would you?) It would make smuggling weapons through customs insanely easy. A toothbrush could turn into an assault rifle like that (snaps fingers).

The manta flyers, yeah I'm pretty sure somebody somewhere has got something like that. The suit, mmm...kinda doubt that one's around yet, but it probably isn't that far off if somebody with the appropriate resources decides to make one. (except for the laser eyes)

Power rings and the associated light constructs (chuckles) for those to work you would have to be able to make light solid at will in shapes. I think we can pretty safely say that that is a few centuries in the future at the earliest.

MetaGenes, assuming they exist, nothing yet (at least official/publicly) has ever been able to trip one, so take that as you will.

Cobra Venom, that's biomedical engineering taken to nth degree and I'm not sure any biological organism could withstand that level of physical change as quickly as that stuff takes effect.

Restraining collars, yeah. It's a remote control taser built into a collar. The metagene repressant could be a chemical or radiation, don't know, never had a metagene to test on. :)

The bioship, like cobra venom, biomedical and genetic engineering taken to nth and probably morally questionable level. This also applies to all the Cadmus Critters and the Injustice Leagues plant creatures.

Cloning, Have you met that adorable sheep everyone keeps harping on about? Human cloning to the extent it's shown in YJ, probably a serious ethical no-no, which if the tech does exist, then it's once again classified beyond all belief to prevent the uproar and loss of an ace up a sleeve.

Apokaliptan tech, the flying taser disks, yeah those could possibly work. The earth into quicksand, mmm...doubtful, but not impossible. Ways off at any rate.

Force fields, again, how are you going to turn light solid?

Batarangs, the trick arrows, grappling lines, detonation cord etc. yeah. Doable. Freeze gun and the Ice fortresses? Mmm...physics of the freezing tech might be a little tricky, and I'm not sure what mechanism would allow you to drain all the heat out of an object at near instantaneous speed from a distance, but I wouldn't rule it out.

Quantum Generator/Blackhole machine: Who would be suicidal enough to make one and still have the neccessary resources and mental capabilities?

Combat motorcycle: Yeah, you could probably build something like that if you had the brains and resources. Certainly easier than a quantum generator.

MONQI's, AMAZO, and the Reds (tornado, torpedo, inferno and volcano): The MONQI's not at all far fetched, AMAZO: same as BlueBeetle's armor if the technology to make it exists, it won't be declassified until we've got metahumans running around every ten feet. The Red's: If elemental controlling tech exists, again, it won't be declassified until the governments of the world have to use it to subdue angry metahumans. Also their processing capabilities are several (SEVERAL) leaps in programming ahead of where we are now. I wouldn't rule out Mr. Twister with the lightning blasts minus the tornados.

Count Vertigo's disorienting headpiece thingy, not quite sure how that would work as a headpiece, but I'd be about willing to bet that it's doable. I know there are devices that can induce vertigo, motion sickness etc. Just never heard of one that #1 worked as well as Vertigo's and #2 was that compact.

Cheshire's mask. Yeah, probably stuff like that out there.

Shrinky suits? Doubtful. You probably wouldn't survive being compressed that much, or the reexpansion.

Rocket's inertia belt? Don't know of any physical mechanism or trick of physics that would allow something like that to work.

If I left anything out, please tell me and I will try to respond. Most of the computer tech they have either exists or isn't terribly far off. (twenty years tops)
