I would hesitate to use the name if there any sort of powers associated with it. It's one thing to say a guy is a big as the Hulk, it's another to make him have super strength and be called that.

I was going to suggest Magneton, but that's apparently a Pokemon. But still, much less likely to cause issues.

Blasters are generic. "Lightsabers" are copyrighted. You can have laser beam swords, just not that term. Again, one reference like "he looked like a Boba Fett reject" is fine. But not if you're going to use the term/item/name repeatedly.
