Carter is a 100% human. A demigod is 50% mortal and 50% god. Demigods are more strong and powerful compared to mortals, as in, they do not suffer too much from physical injuries, and have higher strength and stamina. Unfortunately, that's not a thing. Despite the fact that they're literally half freaking god they're on the whole major whole no real different than a human. The only difference is that they can see through the mist and can learn sword fighting pretty well in only a few years and it irks me every time I pick up a book. They should not be having the struggles that they do. AT ALL.

The only exceptions are a handful of demigods who on occasion have a few "perks" that sometime qualify as supernatural abilities. These being Percy with his water-based abilities, Piper with charmspeak, Jason and flying, Leo and fire (probably the most extreme and greatest case next to Percy and I suppose Nico), Hazel with gold and the like, Nico and death sensitivity and room-scale geokinesis, I guess we can take into account Jason's lightning but jeez he might as well not use it at all with how much it takes out of him. It's like one actually solid bolt and it's like he's had to run five marathons. Their physical endurance and general base physical abilities unassisted by any magical powerup or source isn't anything particularly stellar...WHATSOEVER as opposed to a human that would have gone through the same camp and training. Whatever shred of superpowers/mystical traits and perks/abilities mentioned aside, these kids should be making the Bat-family look like amateurs. Instead, it's the 99.99% of the time the other way around.

They SHOULD BE for the most part anywhere from Captain America to Captain America x10 depending on their training and parentage.
