The son of an Atlantean queen and a lighthouse keeper from the town of Amnesty Bay, Arthur Curry would grow up to become the superhero Aquaman, and later take on his birthright as the King of Atlantis. He is a founding member of the Justice League and is among DC Comics' most recognized heroes.
What do you think is the current tier of Arthur while having Poseidon's Trident? During the current run I've read a huge power boost especially with Poseidon's Trident.. I wonder what tier is he now.
@ashrym: he might stand against worthy Thor with that trident imo. He has a huge power boost and every feats in the current arc is totally impressive, I'm so happy that Arthur is really getting beefed up.
@ashrym: He might stand a chance now unlike before.. probably they'll give him more impressive feats when Johns start his run on Kingdoms of Atlantis. I hate seeing Arthur always get left behind especially in Darkseid Wars.
So by strenght and feats I can say that currently Arthur is the 3rd most powerful leaguer. 1. Green Lantern 2. Wonder Woman 3. Aquaman 4. Superman 5. Flash 6. Cyborg and Batman the list exclude Shazam who I think shares the same tier as Diana.. Jordan is pretty much Beefed up with the Gauntlet (Gauntlet= 5 rings or 10 rings)
@ecstaticgrace: Havent read the current Flash arc. Well Jordan is currently using a Guantlet that is equal to 10 rings irrc thats why I considered him to be the strongest. He stomped the corps while leaving Mogo during the start of Renegade.
@ashrym: I think he is now on the same tier like Diana.. Having poseidons trident makes him more powerful than ever.
He was actually on her same tier as Diana before the upgrade, at least while she wasn't in unbound mode. That was displayed in their inconclusive combats and his other showings against Hercules, Swamp Thing, and MMH. She acknowledged it on panel, as well.
I'm not sure what Wonder Woman is showing to still be on his level, other than her speed and combat skill, but she had that before. He just demonstrated the ability to instantly end a confrontation that she did not in Aquaman 46 facing the elite atlantean agents sent after him.
There's also this scene in Forever Evil before the Poseidon Blessing.
To be honest though I felt in the second encounter against Atlantis elite Wonder Woman faired better then what Aquaman did.
Something I'd like touched upon by a writer would be Aquaman's speed reaction/travel/perceiving I feel like it's been hinted at but nothing to certain. I'd also like to see the training he received whether in Atlantis or in his solo travels across the world hunting Manta which the fact he has training has been hinted at as well.
I noticed she seemed to be doing better in that second encounter, but he was soloing them and Garth in the first encounter in CQC. I was wondering if she's not amped up somewhere with the new outfit as well.
Arthur didn't fight Garth in issue 43 at best the had like tridents standoff they talked decided fight Thule monster instead so no he didn't solo Garth hell they didn't even fight the only ones Arthur fought and beat where those sea creatures came with Garth
@ashrym: @ecstaticgrace: Arthur and Garth didn't fight issue 43 all was two tridents clashing one another and Arthur talk some sense into Garth yeah neither showed full abilities both holding back I would like fight between them but didn't happen.
@ashrym: those where sea creatures that Arthur defeated or fended in those panels, Garth and Arthur didn't fight in any panels all that showed in panel was two tridents clashing and Arthur talking some sense into Garth Liked I said no actual fight between them.
@ashrym: That agree to disagree from want was shown no fight between them beside the tridents clash you say happened off panel seriously doubt it my point view no fight between them like said agree to disargee.
@ashrym: dude l do have issue 43 during six panels you keeping talking about Arthur and Garth clashing with tridents in one panel the other five panels Arthur beating other Atlantis elite until Garth jump in six panel had tridents clash then Thule war engine appear behind them Arthur talking some sense into Garth about attacking it together.
Don't know where you getting idea fight between Arthur and Garth in this issue other clash tridents only fight happened between Arthur and other Atlantis elite but by all means post fight between Arthur and Garth and Arthur beating him l like to see it shame didn't happen in my book.
