How destructive is a cobalt bomb?
Cobalt bomb is not much destructive, actually it's not a 'bomb' exactly. It's merely a device used as a source of gamma rays and is used in medicine and other applications. The only dangers that could be associated with it is a possibility of contamination when some serious mishandling and failure happens.

What objects are made out of cobalt?
It's not actually "made". It's a raw element in the periodic table. It was "found" in 1938 by Seaborg and Livingood, but Cobalt has been used throughout all history.answ2. Cobalt is made in the heart of a star by a process named nucleosynthesis, as part of a silicon burning reaction. Nickel and iron are other elements which take part in the same reaction. But that's pretty advanced stuff.Sufficient for you to know that the elements in your body were once part of a star!
Is the element cobalt rare?
Cobalt is reasonably abundant. It is not rare. Abundance of cobalt in the earth crust: 25-35 mg/kg Abundance of cobalt in the sea water: 0,02 microgram/L Abundance of cobalt in the solar system: 2,3.10-3 atom mole fraction relative to silicon=1. Abundance of cobalt in the human body: 0,000 002 1 %
Where did the cobalt bomb originate?
The cobalt bomb is a modified hydrogen bomb containing a jacket of cobalt. Natural cobalt is isotopically pure stable cobalt-59 and when it captures a high energy fusion neutron it transmutes to the highly radioactive isotope cobalt-60. This dramatically increases the fallout produced. The cobalt bomb was proposed for use as an area denial weapon, as the cobalt-60 fallout contaminated area would be completely uninhabitable for roughly 25 years. But it never made it to development as an actual weapon by any country. You simply cannot control where the fallout will go or its distribution, making it as dangerous to the army using it as to the army it is used on.

What type of thermonuclear bomb would be far more practical and dangerous than a cobalt bomb and have significant military advantages but is probably too expensive for any country to build?
There is no such thing as a cobalt bomb, such as described in various comic books in the past. The only known (non-classified) thermonuclear bombs are the A-Bomb and the H-Bomb. The H-Bomb is much more powerful and expensive, but several countries already have it. Actually I'll answer this myself... The Gold-Bomb. Replacing about 1 ton of Uranium tamper on the secondary with 1 ton of gold would produce a very practical "salted" high contamination bomb. but the gold is probably too expensive for anyone to try it. The cobalt bomb is impractical because cobalt's capture crosssection is too small for high energy fusion neutrons. See Chuck Hansen's "Swords of Armageddon" Volume V for details.
