"In this trident resides the power of Atlantis. In the wrong hands, it would bring destruction. But in the hands of the true heir, it would unite all our kingdoms above and below."
Atlan[src]

The Trident of Atlan, also known as the Sacred Trident, is an ancient Atlantean relic wielded by the ancient king of Atlantis, Atlan. After Atlan's exile and death, the trident was claimed centuries later by Aquaman to defeat Ocean Master and become the King of Atlantis.

History

A King's Weapon

"And the trident could only be wielded by the strongest Atlantean. And it gave King Atlan mastery over the seven seas."
Atlanna[src]The Trident was forged in the Kingdom of the Deserters from the steel of Poseidon for Atlan. At some point, Atlan used the trident to imprison the Karathen in the Hidden Sea.[1]

Great Fall of Atlantis

"It made him so powerful that the ocean itself became jealous and sent a terrible earthquake to destroy Atlantis."
Atlanna[src]One day, during an experiment conducted by Atlan, the power of the trident released a powerful wave of energy that sunk Atlantis to the bottom of the oceans, mutating the citizens to be able to survive underwater.[1]

Following the Great Fall, Atlan exiled himself to the Hidden Sea, charging the Karathen with protecting it from all but the rightful heir to the throne of Atlantis. The Karathen implies that while dead, Atlan's consciousness and spirit still lingers in his skeleton so that even if the Karathen is defeated, his skeleton will not release it until the rightful heir attempts to remove it.[1]

Wielded by Aquaman

In 2018, following the destruction of his mother's trident, Arthur Curry traveled to the Hidden Sea to recover the Sacred Trident as the true King of Atlantis. After proving himself to the Karathen, Curry used the power of the trident to connect to all of the animals in the sea.[1]

Capabilities

"It's more than a story. It's real. It was forged by the greatest weapon masters in history. Crafted from Poseidon's steel for King Atlan, the first ruler of Atlantis. Legend says the trident was imbued with the power to command the sea."
Nuidis Vulko[src]Atlan's Trident is an incredibly powerful weapon, which can only be handled by the true heir of Atlantis. This relic of immense importance serves as a conduit through which mariner kings can channel and greatly magnify their abilities with.
Atlan with his trident

Atlan lays with his trident.

Through it, any natural powers the king of Atlantis has are greatly magnified, being granted possession over the full power of the seven seas and through it, their ability to command any creature amongst the vast oceans is greatly magnified. This was demonstrated when Arthur, the true heir of Atlantis, took the trident, and gained the ability to perfectly sense every creature of the ocean on the planet Earth and reach out to them all (including the savage Trench).

Having been created from an extremely dense metal, the trident is an extremely resilient weapon, which shows no apparent damage either from the ages nor after the extensive use that Atlan gave it; a prominent example of its durability and resiliency, was during Arthur's final clash with Orm: it was able to not just break Orvax's trident, but cause it to shatter like glass.

In addition, it is very likely that it is also magical in nature, like many tridents of Atlantis. An example would be when Arthur used it to conjure lightning underwater during the war against Orm's Atlantean forces.

  • Within recent publishing, Arthur's trident acted as a focusing point through which he could channel and amplify his natural abilities, and often using it as a dowsing rod to better use his Marine Telepathy with.
  • In DC Comics, Aquaman's trident has possessed numerous magical capabilities, effectively serving as a magical conduit to produce a variety of effects.

Trivia

  • In the Injustice 2 mobile game, the Trident can be collected as one of the five gear pieces of "King of Atlantis Aquaman". When equipped, it gives him bonus critical attack chance. Regardless of whether he has it equipped, King of Atlantis Aquaman can be seen wielding it in-game.
  • US residents had the limited-time chance to obtain a real life copy of the Trident by entering a prize draw by DC Universe.
