As a result, in battle he is more willing to push himself to his limits if it means protecting those he cares about. In a way, that is what makes him the most powerful, his willingness to go beyond what his limits are if it means protecting people.

Jason is obviously protective of his friends, as is everyone else; however Jason never seems to push himself the same way as Percy or even Leo does. He doubts himself too much and as a result, when compared to the others he just doesn't seem as powerful. Not to mention his main attack is calling down lightning, but this seems to tire him out very quickly. Leo on the other hand managed to cause a goddess to retreat and Frank doesn't seem to get tired from transforming (plus he can heal when he transforms if I remember correctly, so another benefit). yeah but 1 bolt of lightning would fry percy espically if he is covered with water and he also has wind manipulation
