Trident of Poseidon

The Trident of Poseidon is a golden weapon endowed with the godly energies of Poseidon, god of the sea, and once used by that deity to part the seas and allow the Amazons of Themyscira to first travel to their island home.

Exasperated following a conflict between his son Triton and the Earthly hero Aquaman, Poseidon gave his trident to the latter as a symbol of his victory over the former. Aware of the trident's seductive influence, Aquaman secured the weapon until the Imperiex War, when he was forced to use its power and seemed to vanish along with the rest of Atlantis in the aftermath. With the guidance of Aquaman's protege Tempest, Wonder Woman tracked the trident to the other-dimensional land of Skartaris and discovered that the trident had been used by the evil Queen Clea to seize control of that realm. Reclaiming the trident after a pitched battle, Wonder Woman used it to disrupt the Trinity Virus that threatened to devolve the entirety of Skartaris and returned to Earth.
