Plus, no offense to all you Percy fans out there, but Jason seems more powerful than Percy, AND more mature! Yeah, but, Percy at least has humor, plus, Percy slain Kronos, people, Kronos. And, Darkcloud clearly has great reasons to believe Poseidon would win. Well, let us remember that Kronos was not in full power yet, and even in that weakened form was physically stronger than Percy (even with the Achilles Curse). Also, Percy would not have been able to defeat him alone, and it was Luke, not Percy, who ultimately destroyed the Titan King. As for Percy's so-called humor... Percy's sarcastic attempts at humor are sad... I, for one, see them as uncommonly immature and silly. Also, Percy's habit of blurting out the first thing he hears, makes him look completely and utterly idiotic. Jason, on the other hand, is a model leader who is kind, lovable, noble, obedient, intelligent, serious, skilled, and overall more sophisticated.

I have no idea why so many fans prefer Percy to Jason... Sorry, im completely off topic, but, Luke would have NEVER been able to destroy Kronos without Percy. Percy defeated him, Luke destroyed him. Besides, Percy being sarcastic and stupid, that's what makes him special. He is immature and silly and there is nothing wrong with it. Besides, you're sounding EXACTLY like Piper. Also, according to Greek Mythology, Krios was the weakest of ALL titans. How is Jason lovable? Half of the ARGO II demigods don't even trust him properly. And the way you said Jason was a leader, it sounded like Percy wasn't. I agree with Annabeth, Jason is WAY too perfect. Go to Percy vs Jason, you'll see how badly Jason lost the fight.

Sorry again to the people who are talking about Zeus and Poseidon. Sorry, im off topic. Re-read "The Last Olympian" : when Percy fought Luke for the very last time, he got distracted and Luke was able to disarm him. Annabeth, however, was able to come to the rescue and made Luke remember his promise. After that, Luke finally gained that last ounce of strength required to defeat Kronos by making the decision to suicide. Therefore, Percy never actually defeated Kronos alone, rather, he helped Luke defeat AND destroy him by giving him the cursed blade.

As for Percy's stupidity and sarcasm, I'd say that it makes him more "unique" than "special." Actually, there is something wrong with that--he is not as good a leader as Jason as a result of this. No, don't misunderstand me: Percy is a leader as well, but Jason is far more mature and serious, which makes him better equipped for his position as a leader, which, logically, does make him a better leader than Percy. Yes, even if I do sound "EXACTLY like Piper", I don't see that as a problem, since I do admire her intelligence and strength of character. It's so sad that she's so underrated....

Wrong! Tartarus himself called Iapetus even weaker than Krios. As you recall, Percy was barely able to beat even Iapetus, and only won by pushing him underwater into the Lethe. Jason is lovable due to how caring he is towards his friends, his girlfriend, and even Nico, since Jason did not hesitate to accept his even when Nico admitted that he was gay! Wrong again! Let me see... Only Annabeth and Hazel somewhat distrust him, while everybody else always have their full trust in him. Overall, Jason is NOT "too perfect", as he is sometimes plagued by doubt, fear and a lack of confidence, and you do recall that he accidentally insulted Hazel by initially doubting Nico? Your argument, I'm afraid, is fundamentally flawed!
