Plus, no offense to all you Percy fans out there, but Jason seems more powerful than Percy, AND more mature!                                                                                                               Eternalmccarthy:

At what point ever has jason been more powerful? Well, let me see...

In terms of combat: Jason was able to defeat Krios in one-on-one combat, while Percy needed both the Curse of Achilles AND a hurricane to defeat Hyperion. When they are forced to fight each other, they seem to be evenly matched at first, but Jason manages to overwhelm Percy, and only Piper's intervention saves him.

In terms is demigod powers: Percy's hydrokinetic powers are amazing, but always rely on the availability of water. Jason's aerokinetic powers have the edge here, since he literally has the entire atmosphere at his disposal. Ultimately, Jason can summon lightning and electricity, which Percy has no defense against, since water conducts electricity. Finally, even if Percy does tire Jason out in a fight (since he can keep dipping himself in water), Jason can simply fly out of his reach, and return to the battlefield as soon as he recovers. True, but, Percy still has his better advantages (sorry for off-topicness for zeus vs posedion):

In terms of combat: While Jason did beat Krios one-on-one, Greek myths say he was THE WEAKEST Titan, not such a big achievement now. And, Percy still could have just barely beat Hyperion with Achilles Curse, Achilles Curse was just a huge helping hand. Plus, a Hurricane is an in-general good abillity anyway. And Jason and him fighting, I believe that it was the combat experience of the spirits controlling Jason that overwhelmed Percy.
