"It's biggest" Vs "It's the biggest"

Which is correct? or Are they all correct??
I've learned that the article 'the' has to come before superlative adjectives
I wonder if it is possible and grammatically correct to omit the word 'the' before superlative adjectives

1) The watermelon is biggest
2) The watermelon is the biggest.
3) The watermelon is the biggest of the three things


Thanks in advance..
