He wields the Trident of Poseidon and is an expert hand-to-hand combatant. He is a proficient warrior and strategist, adept in command of an army as well as individual conflict. He has even, on occasion, been able to affect human minds with his telepathy. Originally, this power was explained as Aquaman speaking to marine creatures in their own language, but has since been retconned into a form to telepathic influence.
