Hero Stats
He is the ruler of the sea.
Poseidon rules every ocean, lake, and puddle you can think of! Stay on his good side, and you'll never end up underwater.
He made horses.
Poseidon invented horses to win a contest against Athena. Talk about showing off! But even with horses on his side, he still lost. To this day, every horse you see is basically his trophy.
He’s one of the “Big Three.”
Zeus has almost 100 children. Gods, heroes, and everything in between! That makes him the world's busiest (and most legendary) superhero dad.
He carries a trident.
Poseidon's trident is so powerful, one poke can shake the earth or stir up a giant wave! Lucky for you, this Poseidon's biggest splash is a flop onto the couch.
