Trident is the name of several supervillains appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.

Publication history

The Trident Trio first appeared in New Teen Titans #33 (July 1983), and were created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez. Wolfman later acknowledged that he recycled the idea of different people posing as a single villain from the Brothers Grimm.[1]

Fictional character biography

Trident is the alter ego of three former H.I.V.E. operatives: weapons designer Prof, enforcer Sammy Jaye, and an unidentified black man and former boxer. They take turns committing robberies, making the public believe that they are a single person. Eventually, Jaye tries to cheat his partners out of profits, after which they kill him before being defeated by the Teen Titans.[2][3]

In Infinite Crisis, Trident joins Alexander Luthor Jr.'s Secret Society of Super Villains.[4]

The name Trident was also used by a Starro-infected Karate Kid.[5]

Powers and abilities

Trident carries a trident that has three tines: the right shoots fire, the left shoots ice, and the middle releases a blast of devastating force. He can project holograms which make him appear several feet away from where he is standing while concealing his true position.
