And even if not, creating a container out of air that kept the Primordial Goddess of Earth from dissolving into particles to escape or to blast her way out exceeds anything Percy has done, tbh. Are you forgetting the hurricane Percy made in order to fight the titan when he was 16? When he held up the river Lethe up with a poisoned shoulder at age 15? He created a volcanic eruption on Mount Saint Helen at age 14, he can create Earthquakes. He shielded himself from the river Lethe so that he wouldn't lose his memories, and he threw a titan (Bob/Iapetus) into the river. At age 12 he defeated the war god with the help of the ocean... need I go on?

True, Percy has crazy raw power. I'd say that the "god in him" is stronger than that of the others (save for maybe Nico). But Jason I think has better powers. You see, the thing with Percy is that in order to properly use his powers, he needs to have water around. Without it, he can use his inner divine power to create water (like at Mt. Saint Helens), but that nearly killed him. Jason always had his basic electricity with him wherever he is, and that tornado thing he did underwater in BoO was completely awesome (not to mention he saved Percy...).

I still would say that although Gaea was out of her element, she was a protogenoi, a higher class being then Titans like Hyperion and Iapetus. And Percy kind of blindsided the latter, and doused Hyperio: fires, whereas Jason imprisoned Gaea. Personally, I find what Jason did to be more impressive. Though Mt. Saint Helens...

I'd say Jason and Percy are equals after BoO.
