Taking that idea to its extreme (and while we're discussing an article about potentially exotic physics) a superweapon (or superpower) could be simply "teleportation".
If you could trigger the creation of two ends of a wormhole to appear at arbitrary points in space (without needing any equipment at either point), you could teleport remote photons from your enemy's territory into your research station, which would effectively give you an invisible spy camera that can view anywhere on Earth in real time, allowing you to track all the military hardware and personnel that the enemy has.
An attack would involve (re)moving a few grams of electronics or neurons from the target, and would be almost invisible and unstoppable.
Even if the wormhole had to be "sent" using something like a portal gun, that would still dramatically change the dynamics of the battlefield.
