11 Most Powerful Weapons In DC History

7. The Trident Of Neptune

In the DC Universe, there exists a trident which resembles the same weapon carried by the Roman God Neptune. Unlike Roman Mythology, the Trident found within the pages of DC Comics is far more powerful than any old giant seafood fork - it has quite a lot of power.

The Trident of Neptune is passed down the royal lineage of Atlantis, which is why it is currently within the hands of Aquaman. In some ways, it's a symbol of his status, similar to a crown. In other ways, it's a source of immense aquatic power.

The Trident of Neptune's primary purpose is to manipulate all forms of water. It can be used to redirect the flow of ocean currents at will and can create giant waves, riptides, or whatever Aquaman chooses.

It's also an effective weapon capable of cutting through most substances in the DC Universe. It can shoot electric energy blasts, control the weather thanks to its water-manipulation abilities, and alter organic matter.
