1. Zeus, Poseidon and Hades are equally powerful. Also Percy has mastered his powers so well that he can use water for a million things and can even create water. Jason so far hasn't shown that much mastery in electricity.

2. Time does not matter, what you have mastered is more important. Again Percy is way ahead in that aspect despite the fact that he trains only in for 3 months each year and that his quests take up a huge chunk of his time.

3. Just because Juno is Jason's patron that does not mean he's high or something. Percy doesn't have a patron (as if he needs one) and still he's so bad*** that he always earns respect from some demigod or the other at the end of most books.
