Here is a list of some of his accomplishments: He killed a minotaur with his bare hands, escaped Circe's island, successfully navigated both the Sea of Monsters and the labyrinth, defeated the titans, turned down immortality, SURVIVED TARTARUS... and a lot more.

8th Hero of Olympus wrote: ^^You're blowing Percy's feats out of proportion, I'm afraid - he had help in escaping Circe, navigating the Sea of Monsters and the Labyrinth, only held his own against Hyperion and Kronos with the Achilles Curse (since without the curse, he was almost defeated by Iapetus, the weakest Titan, and was effortlessly defeated by Atlas). He also had help from both Iapetus and Annabeth in surviving Tartarus, so that doesn't count as much either.

Jason, on the other hand, single-handedly defeated a Titan without the curse of Achilles, held his own against quite a few Giants, even Porphyrion himself (with some help from Zeus).

Sorry for interupting, but I'm pretty sure Jason didnt single-handedly take down a Titan. Earlier conversations describe him as having an army, bare handed is a lot different than single-handed.

"While Kronos was being defeated, Jason Grace and his allies from Camp Jupiter defeated Krios and destroyed him and Mount Othryrs."

- Krios' Article

Also, he defeated Krios? Big deal. He defeated the baby sitter of Atlas, while Percy Jackson held up the sky, the sky, so Artemis could destroy Atlas. Has Jason held the whole world on his shoulders?

Jason may have defeated a Titan, but Percy was one of the main heroes, in BOTH of the Great Prophecies. While Jason was fighting minor monsters and took down a Titan with the help of his camp buddies, Percy was saving the world with Annabeth, saving the gods. Saving Jason. What role did Krios play in destroying the world besides babysitting Atlas?

We don't know much about Jason's accomplishments, but, Percy has way outnumbered him.

Percy's Achievements:


 * Kills the Fury Alecto (Mrs. Dodds)
 * Single-handedly killing the Minotaur
 * Beheaded Medusa
 * Escaped Echidna and Chimera
 * Retrieves Ares's Shield
 * Escapes Hephaestus' trap for Ares and Aphrodite

 * Returned Hades' Helm of Darkness
 * Returned Zeus' Master Bolt
 * Wards off the Stymphalian Birds (with help)
 * Saves Annabeth from The Sirens
 * Helps recover the Golden Fleece (and sends it with Clarisse, saving camp. And let's be honest, giving the most prized possesion he'd ever gotten (besides Riptide) over to a Daughter of Ares, that took guts.)
 * Sneaks out of Camp, risking his being expelled, to save Annabeth
 * Defeats the Nemean Lion
 * Sacrifices the Nemean Lion's pelt for Grover to safely bring the Ophiotaurus to the gods.
 * Held up the sky
 * Slays an Empousa (Tammi) and nearly slays the Empousa Kelli
 * Cleaned out the mortal-eating Horse Stables
 * Kills Geryon, with the help of Hera
 * Saves Nico di Angelo, and helps him contact his sister Bianca
 * Destroys Mount Saint Helens and therefore rids Hephaestus' favorite forge of Telekhines
 * Defeats a Dracaenae
 * Defeats Ethan Nakamura, and saves his life
 * Defeats Antaeus, Son of Poseidon and Gaea
 * Finds Pan along with his friends
 * Saved Juniper, Grover's girlfriend by watering her tree that's on fire
 * Earns the title of Poseidon's Favorite Son
 * Blows up the Princess Andromeda with the help and sacrifice of Charles Beckendorf
 * Visits his fathers grounds, something no Demigods have done before except Thalia visiting Mount Olympus and Nico visiting his fathers' palace.
 * Awakended Grover from Morpheus' sleep
 * Successfully bathes in the River Styx
 * Awakens the statues and defeats the Clazmonian Sow
 * Risks his life sitting on his father's throne to get his attention (which led to Poseidon helping defeat Typhon)
 * Makes the dicision of the Great Prophecy, handing Luke the knife and killing the Titan Kronos
 * Percy honors his promise to Luke and Ethan, giving up immortality so that the Minor Gods never side with evil again, and all Demigods are claimed

This isn't a matter of who would do better under circumstances. It's a matter of who did do better. That's definitely Percy. Sure, Jason had crappy luck, being taken when he was 4 and given to Camp Jupiter, but as you said, he had 12 years of training, Percy had 5. Jason had twice as much training as Percy and Percy still fought him on an equal (if not, better) level.

Percy wins.
