Biography[]

Trident is first seen sinking a cargo ship and taking with it, containers of toxic waste. This forced the Teen Titans to stop him. Trident attacked their submarine but retreated when Aqualad faced him. While the Titans wait until their sub is fixed, Beast Boy and Aqualad search for Trident's hideout. They find out that Trident uses the toxic waste to clone himself so that he would take over Atlantis and Earth. The clones started fighting when Beast Boy said that which one was the best. While they did not stop the clones from hatching, the other Titans arrived in time to blast the entrance to the cave sealing Trident and his clones inside.

Trident was later freed and was recruited into the Brotherhood of Evil. He teamed up with Plasmus to capture Aqualad and Tramm. They both succeeded and were well rewarded by the Brotherhood. During the final battle with the Titans at the Brotherhood's headquarters, he is defeated by Thunder and flash-frozen with the rest of the villains.

Personality[]

Trident is a complete and utter narcissist who egotistically views himself as a perfect being in every way which motivates him to create an army of clones of himself believing there's no such thing as too much of a good thing. Trident's pride ultimately ends up being his down fall; when Beast Boy asks the clones which one is the best, all of the clones instantly declare themselves, individually, as the best. When Aqualad points out they can't all be perfect and one has to be better than the others, each clone tries to assert themselves as the best by claiming that they are the original Trident, and when they can't agree the army turns on each other and knocks itself out as Trident's ego is so massive that he can't tolerate taking a backseat to anyone, including himself.
