He does have a "Strongest There Is" bias towards the good ole Perce. I mean, he's the son of one of the Big Three, his fahter controls pratically 75% percent of the world in water, he basically killed KRONOS, has been seleted as one of the Seven, and everyone he has ever met has told him "your so awesome and powerful, Percy!"

I mean, don't get me wrong. Percy is one of my favorite characters. It just get's irratitating when he's basically keeps getting praised by his closest friends and even his enemies as well. It reminds me of Ron's Inferior Complex with Harry...except Percy's friends don't seem to really care being called second best. Which is actually kind of disturbing...

And let's not even think what was going through Jason's head at Nico's comment at the end of MoA. Or Frank's. Or Leo's (even though he was filled with guilt). Or EVERYONE.

I remember I wrote a short story about a guy who kept getting extremely powertul, and his friends always praised his abilities. Even his archenemy stopped during their battle to admire him. So he looked at himself, shook his head, and gave up his powers. Everyone was pissed. But he commented "What's the point of fighting? I'm was so powerful it wouldn't had make since anyway."

Too me, I was thought Nico was stronger than Percy and Jason. I mean, Percy has water and earth and Jason has lightning and air, but Nico has death and the shadows.
