I see Ea and Dinosaur trying to make sense of this. Please, let us imply some common sense. There are times in which a hero just cannot afford to pass out. When the situation calls for it that is when you see a hero at his best. Blackjack knocked Percy out because he felt Piper's desperation and urgency, meaning he simply had to. Percy could not afford to get knocked out by Kronos or else. Neither could he in the giant fight, blood of olympus and all.

But like for instance, when the situation called for it, Percy was so strong. He killed Arachne with one strike because he was protecting Annabeth. He jumped over a spasm so long Annabeth could only guess how he did it. So obviously protecting Annabeth is a situation which brings out he best in him.

But for Jason, if protecting his girlfriend doesn't bring out the best in him, then I don't know. Because we're agreed getting conked by a brick definitely isn't his strongest, so what exactly brings out the best in him? I dunno, a brick?
