Thor's Hammer Vs Aquaman's Trident: What's The More Powerful Weapon?
There are some spoilers for various Marvel and DC movies throughout this story, particularly the recently released Avengers-oriented flick.
When you picture Thor and Aquaman, the first thing that comes to mind could be their origins in mythology. It could be how they are both the most powerful long-haired and bearded titans of their respective cinematic universes. Or it could be how they are both played by actors who are seemingly too ripped to be human.
Honestly, though, when it comes to Thor and Aquaman, lets face it: what you really care about is that epic hammer and that sweet, sweet trident.
The Marvel Cinematic Universes God of Thunder, played by Chris Hemsworth, and the Atlantean king of the DC Extended Universe, completely reinvented by Jason Momoa, may have powers of great strength, yet still take great pride in their trusted weaponry. We cant help but wonder, however, what is more powerful: Mjlnir or the Trident of Neptune?
Of course, in Thor: Ragnarok, Thors sister Hela (Cate Blanchett) destroyed Mjlnir out of spite and, and while it made a brief return in Avengers: Endgame, at the conclusion Captain America had to return it to 2013-era Thor in order to correct the alternate timelines. So, Thors proudly rocking Stormbreaker for now.
Still, for the purposes of comparing these two heroes, we figured Thors hammer would be the definitive weapon to focus on rather than splitting focus.
Depending on whether you are more of a DC fan or a Marvel fan, you might already have chosen which you prefer between Thors hammer and Aquamans trident based on personal alliances. Regardless, both have proven to be worthy assets to their respective owners. But which is the more powerful weapon?
Thors HammerThe origin of Thors hammer dates back centuries before Thors first appearance in Marvel comics in 1962.
Mjlnir, whose name is said to be derived from a Proto-Germanic word meaning grind, is an object of Norse mythology, depicted as one of the most powerful and cowering weapons in existence. For instance, one strike with this bad boy and you can say goodbye to Mt. Everest.
Yet, the destructive power of Thors hammer barely scratches the surface. It is a weapon of great complexity and some pretty high standards.
As deemed by Odin, Thors father and the king of Asgard played by Anthony Hopkins, only those who are worthy of Mjlnirs power can be given the strength to wield it. With that in mind, what makes someone worthy of Thors hammer?
In the comics, Thor describes those worthy of wielding Mjlnir as being pure of heart and noble of mind. This explains why he was unable to retrieve the hammer while exiled on Earth in his 2010 solo origin movie. He was a narcissistic jerk.
Once his time on Earth as a powerless simpleton proved effective in grounding his ego a bit, Thor managed to prove himself and he Mjlnir were reunited, reinstilling him with his thunderous power.
A weapon as selective as Thors hammer must really come in handy. For one, Thor never has to worry about Mjlnir falling into the wrong hands. Any sinister adversaries he comes into conflict with will most definitely not be seen as worthy.
Additionally, lets say that Thor is somehow incapacitated and unable to grasp Mjlnir at a particularly pressing moment in battle. Any allies of his who, hopefully, fall under the qualifications of being of pure of heart and noble of mind to the extent that Mjlnir will accept can take Thors hammer and let it rip.
This, of course, was hinted at in Avengers: Age of Ultron, when Captain America (Chris Evans) came shockingly close to lifting Thors hammer, visibly triggering triggering the gods anxiety, not to mention how Vision (Paul Bettany) revealed his worthiness minutes after his creation. It was later confirmed that Cap had the power in him all along when he took charge of Mjlnir in the thunderous climax of Avengers: Endgame.
However, you would be surprised by how many other characters Thors hammer has deemed worthy throughout the comics history. Some of them barely made the cut.
Superman, during a DC-Marvel comics crossover event, wielded Thors hammer, but only for as long as Mjlnir determined that he really needed it. Bruce Banners Hulk has managed to lift it, as did his even grounchier alter ego Red Hulk, along with a few X-Men.
Even Deadpool got his hands on it before. Hmmm, maybe Mjlnirs standards are not as high as we thought.
When it comes to the unworthy who have felt the wrath of Thors hammer, that list is longer. Thor has taken on the likes of his adopted brother Loki and planet-eating Galactus in the comics. He has even managed to defeat fellow heroes such as Iron Man or the Fantastic Fours The Thing. Clearly, his weapon is powerful.
Yet, even some unworthy folk proved to not be completely vulnerable to Thors hammer. Fellow mythological god Hercules took on Thor and won, as did Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch. In one of the funnier comic book defeats I could find, Hulk managed to outsmart Thor by causing him to knock himself out with Mjlnir.
You may need to be pure of heart and noble of mind to wield it, but even Thors hammer is not impervious to motivation and a little cleverness. Still, it levels mountains, so theres that.
Aquamans TridentAccording to its mythological origin, Aquaman (ne Arthur Curry) is not the original wielder of the Trident of Neptune, nor is the original wielder even the sole original. In fact, that is only its name in Roman mythology. In Greek texts, the trident belongs to Poseidon.
DCs interpretation of the myth borrows from the Roman equivalent, which depicts the trident as created by three Cyclopes (so, three one-eyed monsters) who forged impenetrable adamantine with Neptunes own essence into a shape resembling a fishing spear. The three prongs are said to represent the three different kinds of bodies of water: seas, streams and rivers.
Aquamans trident serves as a symbol of his authority over the seven seas, as well as a few other fun purposes.
With its triple-pronged head and indestructibility, Aquamans trident appears to be a weapon of great effectiveness in battle. That would be considered an undeniable assumption. Aquaman has used the trident to slay sea monsters and wound his greatest enemies, such as archnemesis Black Manta or the powerful DC villain, Darkseid.
The Trident of Neptune is capable of much more than violence, however even if it used for that purpose most often.
Aquaman's trident allows the wielder complete control over the seven seas, power to manipulate water, which allows him to create whirlpools, tidal waves, and even part the seas a la Moses in The Ten Commandments. If you are in the mood for another biblical reference, Aquaman could also flood the entire Earth with it if he wanted to.
Aquamans trident is not exclusive to waterbending, however. It possesses a vast array of magical abilities, including changing the appearance of people or objects, or making them disappear altogether. That may be a neat trick, but when he really wants to make an impression, he can use the trident to conjuring bolts of lightning and manipulating thunder.
Waaaaaiiiiittttt! Aquaman has the power of lightning and thunder? Looks like youve met your match, Thor.
Speaking of which
Hammer Vs. TridentIts main event time. Which comic book hero weapon is most powerful: Thors hammer or Aquamans trident?
As for similarities, both Mjlnir and the Trident of Neptune have proven to be of great imperviousness, except for that time Thors sister, Hela, crushed the hammer in one hand. However, we have yet to see Aquamans trident suffer a similar fate in future films, so whether it upstages Mjlnir in indestructibility is still up in the air.
Both weapons also possess the benefit of only allowing chosen champions to wield it. Thors hammer is the sentient one that is literally impossible to lift if not deemed worthy, though. I would have to award points to Mjlnir for encompassing the better security feature, but also take some back for letting Deadpool take advantage.
Thors hammer also allows him to fly, strike gargantuan blows against enemies, conjure bolts of lightning, and, as I have said before but cannot stop saying, level whole mountains for Odins sake!
The question is, however, which weapon is more powerful. Admittedly, Thors hammer has nothing on the ability to change the shape of matter, creating tidal waves and hurricanes, and manipulating, not just lightning, but also Thors bread and butter: thunder.
Thor may be the God of Thunder, but with the Trident of Neptune in his hands, Aquaman is literally the perfect storm.
By the power invested in me by CinemaBlend, I dub Aquamans trident the victorious weapon. Admittedly, it's close.
