So they are villains?

Personally, I count them as a superhero!

Well, they're HEROES, just not sure they fit the classic definition of a "super hero." It's a tough call.

This is the best answer in my opinion, "the Jedi are an ancient monastic peacekeeping organization known for their observance of the Force."

The force is a natural power that can be used both physically and mentally. And the lightsaber - who doesn't want one?!

I'm going to go with Iron Man's miniature arc reactor. A small piece of technology capable of powering that crazy rocket suit.

However, once a Captain America movie comes out, all bets are off. It's hard to top that guy's shield.

Not exactly a single gadget, but no question about it, the Bond car from Tomorrow Never Dies.

http://www.newlaunches.com/entry_images/0108/28/bond_bmw.jpg

Rocket launchers, bulletproof glass, auto driving from a cell phone (another sweet gadget, by the way), re-inflatable tires, and an electricity defense against break-ins. Awesome.

Well, okay, I unhelpful'd you for 3 reasons...

(1) Dr. Evil employed sharks with laser beams, not Austin Powers. Hence, it is not a spy gadget.

(2) The photo is of a shark with some kind of automatic weapon, not a laser beam.

(3) I'm not even sure if a shark with a laser beam on its head would be a gadget anyway. More like part of an elaborate death trap.

Anyway, nothing personal. I just really want to know the answer to this question!

Yeah... It's interesting... I did a Google search for "sharks with lasers" and this is the "best" I could come up with. Noone has frickin' pictures of frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams attatched to their frickin' heads!

The Batsuit.
Head to toe, cutting edge in technology and just plain good fashion sense.
Multi-vision filters built in to the mask.
"Memory-cloth" cape enabling gliding and slowed descent.
Projectile spikes that retract into the gloves
Hyper-sonic bat call built in to the boots.
Kevlar armor plates all over.
All that's missing is the cup holder.

Definitely a compelling case to make. I was kind of considering Batman's weapons one by one: batarang, for example, or bat grappling hook. Taking them all together, including utility belt, makes it a fairly unstoppable gadget.

Best superhero gadget.... not the most high-tech or flashiest, but the funnest.... Spidey's web-shooters:

Best secret agent gadget... Joe 90's glasses... they enable him to use anybody's expertise previously downloaded into his brain by the BIG RAT:

Sorry, @philipy, we can clearly see from the movies that Spiderman's webs are not produced by a gadget...

In the original stories they were gadgets invented by Peter Parker.

Rolex Watch (Live and Let Die, 1973)
Firstly the watch could turn into a powerful electro-magnet, strong enough to deflect the path of a bullet at long range. Bond tested this out by magnetizing M's spoon, much to his annoyance. The Second feature proved to be a life saver. The bezel doubled up as a circular saw which enabled 007 to cut through the ropes that had him trapped and escape from a one-way journey into a pool of man-eating sharks.
