Well, Riordan amended the Akhyls tear scene by saying that the rules were different in Tartarus, and Percy's scene with Polybotes in BoO shows that the jury is still out over whether he can actually do that on land (think of it, if Percy could do that, then Poseidon would be King of the Gods, not Zeus.

On the other hand, Riordan subtly makes it clear that Jason has the same potential with his electric powers. That is what I was discussing potential. Sparks fly off of him when he is mad, and in TLO he even blasted Khione like twenty feet away when he was uncomfortable with a static shock. It is just that he concentrates more on his wind powers, and most likely won't ever reach the level Thalia has with her electric powers (since she actually concentrates on them). But Jason clearly has the same potential. Especially since he has mastered lightning, the most difficult and draining electric power.

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.
