oh for the love of god!!
Did you not read the same books or something, let me remind you..
1.zeus's lightening bolt debacle.
2.he actually brawled with ares, an honest to god, well god.
3.oh and let's not forget that HE HELD THE FREAKING SKY. and fought that titan over there too.
and medusa, he cut her head off
4. he actually led an army of super natural creatures in a battle against the titan king himself!
5. the titans he killed during the battle with hurricane and stuff.
6.and he fought and almost killed hades after he bathed in styx, although i know hades couldn;t be killed but still he held his sword on hades throat which is totally cool!!
7.and in the labrynth he fought that god, which was super dificult to kill. and had a very complicated name...
and countless more battles which i am currently forgetting. oh and in the very beginning when he was 12 and on his way to the camp for the forst time he killed the horned guy, i forget his name but whatever the point is, he definitely have more experience than jason in battles . and by my count he has killed way more titans and demons than jason.

Anna I am basing my list off of how helpful these characters are, because there's so much more to being a hero than being physically strong.

1. Percy, because he literally has done nothing to be placed lower on this list.
2. Annabeth, for getting everyone out of bad situations, like, all of the time.
3. Leo, for fixing everything all of the time.
4. Frank, but only HoH Frank.
5. I would rate Hazel and Piper equally, because of how well they both developed in Hoh, but I'll put Hazel above Piper because she had a bigger role in HoH (not a spoiler, by the way)
6. Piper.
7. Jason. Sure, he may be strong, but when did he ever actually use his strength to help anyone during battle? He doesn't seem to be a very quick thinker, he's a bit of a stick in the mud, and he's not very smart. There. I said it.

Sydney Duval Ok Shandia, I get your point, but I agree with Vansh here. We're not talking about Zeus vs. Posieden, Its Percy vs. Jason. Frankly, I think Percy is more powerful than Jason, but he also does have more experience. MAYBE if they were the same age, Jason would be more powerful, but really it all depends on how they use their powers.

message 213: by Kamiko (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kamiko When it comes to power, Percy is by far the strongest. When it comes to experience, I would go with Percy, Jason, or Annabeth on that one. Sure Jason has trained since he was three or something, but experience isn't training, the real stuff happens in the real world. Training prepares you. If you need strategy, than it's Annabeth. Crazy ideas, that's Percy. They all have their strengths and weaknesses, that's why there are more than one of them. My favorite is definitely Percy, but I don't think it's fair to judge them all on one category. They are all good at something. Some more than others. If I had to choose, I'd say Percy

Now you are getting sidetracked, how powerful a character is, has nothing to do with the prophecy. There was the prophecy about Annabeth in "mark of Athena" but still, she is not the most powerful character in the series. she is powerful, but not the most powerful character.
And by the way "prophecy-person", that's hilarious :P

Oh my god, you just took a fictional world and imagined a hypothetical situation in it which would be quite amazing, if it were not for the fact that it's completely ridiculous, because guess what, he is son of posiedon, he did defeat kronos and returned the lightning bolt and all the other amazing stuff, so for the love of god can you not complicate the situation, cause it's plenty complicated already.
And as far as the prophecy is concerned, it WAS about percy, that's the whole damn point. he is protagonist in the story. the main character, so obviously the prophecy would not refer to a satyr to save olympus.
The point was, Percy is more powerful than Jason. Let's stick to it.


message 220: by Vansh (new) - rated it 5 stars

Vansh Arora what circumstances? I think they both had the same "circumstances", they were being hunted by a large variety of deamon and monster. I think they both had the same problems more or less, even though jason's been training his whole life, percy proved to be better at fighting.


message 221: by Kamiko (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kamiko Jason has had way more training than Percy, but Percy is still more powerful. True, if the circumstances were different, the outcome would be different, but that's not what we have to think about Rick Riordan chose to create a character named Percy Jackson instead of Jason Grace for the first series. Jason fought Krios and did many quests, and so did Percy. You can still compare the two, and if you analyse each monster they face, ultimately Percy would be more powerful. Personally, I like Percy better than Jason, because Jason is way too serious. This is my opinion.

message 223: by Clara (new) - rated it 5 stars

Clara Mouawad for me annabeth and leo are equally strong . Annabeth only have her wisdom for power . but leo vcan summon fire so he can put a whole world on fire . and he really helped the group : he built the argo 2 and he helped when the ship is damaged also he repaired festus ... so i think he is equal with annabeth

@clara Annabeth defeated archne, that giant ass spider all on her own just with her wits and intelligence and survived tarturus, not only did she supported percy but also held her own in the battles. Leo might be a good engineer, but he is definitely not better than annabeth in battle strategy and when it comew to actual fights.

i'm with you but how exactly has percy proved to be the better fighter? Or are you just relying on feats why you say that?


message 228: by Kamiko (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kamiko I hate how Annabeth is low on everyone's list. She has contributed greatly. Sure, she might not be the most powerful, but she and Percy are what has kept the crew from falling apart. If Percy's the most powerful, and Annabeth has saved his life on multiple accounts, than what does that make her? Without Annabeth, the crew would be done for. This goes for every single one of them. Each book has a highlight of someone saving the other members. Leo saved Piper and Jason in The Lost Hero, and in the House of Hades, Frank saved Hazel and Nico. They're all important and powerful, that's what makes them a team


message 229: by Clara (new) - rated it 5 stars

Clara Mouawad surely they are all in a way equal . everyone of the 7 has his weakness so they complete each other . Percy and Annabeth did better together. percy coudn't survive without Annabeth and also annabeth couldn't survive without percy. and everyone of the 7 is important. leo , frank, jason, percy, hazel, annabeth, pipper , all of them did great and each of them did his own task


message 230: by Celia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Celia Overall, I think Percy is the strongest.


message 231: by Kamiko (new) - rated it 5 stars

Kamiko Annabeth is AWESOME!!! Also, Percy doesn't always rely on his powers. Sometimes those can't save him. He has excellent swordsmanship. I think Percy would win in a fight. Percy is my favorite character(obviously) and Annabeth is my second favorite.

@Bonnick :How percy proved to be a better fighter?, are you kidding me!? did you missed the part where he fought a small army of monsters on the bridge, all by himself in the battle against kronos, or that he brawled with that several titans, including atlas when he held the sky! he produced a hurricane and actually rode it while he fighting that titan in the new york battle, tell me that's not cool!
from the very beginning, when he was only 12, and not even in the camp, he killed a freaking minotaur(remember the damn horn he used to carry around), or medusa or 1000 more monsters he slayed after that. Percy is definitely the best fighter.
I think that answers your query. :)

message 234: by Sophia (new) - rated it 5 stars

message 235: by Celia (new) - rated it 4 stars

Celia Annabeth is the smartest but Percy is the best fighter. It depends in the circumstances which one of them would win.

of course percy is cool didn't say he was but as i said i asked you what you based your statements on? Now i see your answer is feats nothing wrong with that percy has several books dedicated to him so he has better feats. As the better fighter i can't say so unless he and jason fight. Hell jason took on the strongest giant bare handed and still managed to wound him (this was with a curse that made him invulnerable or a cursed sword that will return to your pocket).
heck i think Talia could and will beat anyone of the seven and she lacks the feats percy has.


message 237: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Here is the difference between Percy and Jason

Percy - He didn't have any bad history in the mortal world, however he always has shit going down when he is doing quests.

Jason - Has a terrible history with an abusive mother and then with him being abandoned, but things go smoothly for him in the demigod world.

How can somebody be too strong? And Zeus isn't more powerful, he's just the king of the gods. When Poseidon was fighting his own war in the ocean, teh gods oculdn't destory Typhon by themselves. But, when poseidon came to their aid, he killed Typhon. Percy can defeat Jason with his powers and if he had no water around him, he could summon water without any water. Their fighting abilities with a sword a pretty equal, but Percy is trained to be unpredictable, where as Jason was learned to work with the legion. And even though Jason went to Camp Half-Blood, he wasn't training, just working on teh Argo II. Percy for the win!


message 242: by Ananth (new)

Ananth Jason can work in a legion with other people, but if he's alone, he is doomed.

Percy can take on a lot of monsters by himself, but he lacks the wisdom to make battle strategies.

how is he doomed whn he fought a titan by himself. Every time my boy percy fought a titan he had people with him.


message 244: by Paul (new)

Paul Percy is the strongest by far his power IS limitless,
He controls water, water IS in everything!
There is water vapour in the air (clouds are condensed water vapour) its in people, the ground - EVERYTHING

Each time Percy uses his power it grows and he becomes more aware of what he can do and can use it for longer and longer each time

He subconsciously controls his own body, he doesn't lose strength until after a fight as he controls and regulates his adrenaline flow, plus just by touching water he is fully regenerated

******* HOUSE of HADES SPOILER ALERT *********












In House of hades he shows this against Akhlys (God of Misery and POISON) she can control poison BUT a mere trace of water allows Percy to control the Poison Mist overpowering the GODS control of it!!!!!!!!!!
At the end of the book he also overcomes his Fatal Flaw - Percy will sacrifice everything including his life to save those he counts as friends -
He allows Bob, Small Bob and Damsen (who he now counts as friends) to sacrifice themselves for him. Now he's done it once he'll be able to do it again but easier!

If Percy fully realises his power he has the potential to destroy the world just like Leo and water trumps fire as water is a chemical that has already been burn't and can't burn any more!
The prophecy says - "The world must fall to storm or fire" i.e Percy or Leo
(Not Jason as it doesn't say lightning storm i personally think Percy can easily out power jason when controlling a storm)
The demigods think "The world" could mean either Gia OR The world. I think it Means BOTH which ever out of the two defeats Gia could gain full mastery of their power and get a lust for it!!

I think we could be seeing a darker Percy in the future


1 Percy - Limitless, could drain the water out of a living being! Blood plasma is mainly water Imagine him pulling the blood out of someone scary huhh? (Humans are 90% water if there's a trace in monsters/giant/titans/gods he has the potential to kill them!!!!) can control rain to create hurricanes, water traces in the ground (even the desert has water underground! out powers a god for control of her own element: poison, because of a TRACE of water!

2 Leo - too be seen (its said that the Hephaestus who controls fire can destroy the world)

3 Jason - Lightning and Flight Percy Blocks lightning with water!

4 Frank - Can command the dead legions and change into a dragon!!!!

5 Hazel - can pull all precious gems, metals and stones to her Diamond cannon!!

6 Annabeth - the groups brains/leader and Percys anchor

7 Piper - Jasons/the groups Anchor
