OR

My own personal opinion is I consider him mid tier with or without the trident. Doesn't mean he's useless against high tie though. Still like the character. Tiers are irrelevant to either enjoyment or how good a character is.

Same levels as thing

Those pictures arent mutually exclusive.

Higher.

I'd personally consider him an upper-mid tier character, but his trident gives him the capacity to lethally wound high tier characters. Simply having the trident doesn't make him more powerful, it just gives him a tool he can use to be a threat.

@comicsrulebutdbzdoes2: I see him roughly that level as well, I think he would take the thing in a fight.

Clearly high tier with the Trident.

Bottom of the high tier without it. He is still much, much faster and more mobile than normal bricks, has planet level telepathy and enhanced senses. Also more skill and strategic sense than most high tier characters like Hulk, Power Girl, etc

Remember he beat Hercules WITHOUT the trident and both times he fought WW were without it also. Also MM underwater.

Hightier in the same way Thing is

High tier. Obviously.

The trident doesn't make the man. The man makes the trident.

High tier

It doesn't physically make him any stronger. But it has come in handy for situations where piercing something was necessary. He's roughly at the same level with or without it.

With or without the Trident he is in the same tier as Superman and Wonder Woman.

lol no

With trident near Supermans level . Without trident he is somewhere near Wonder woman's level

High tier...just not strongest in that division or versatile...

High-tier for sure.
