I agree with that fact that many see the Gigantes as weaklings. When it comes to their actual strength it's very unimpressive. Enceladus could've posed much more of a threat, if he had survived the lightning strike sent down by Jupiter or (Zeus). Prophyrion was the only one to show his power and might, although him doing that tactical retreat was a bit disappointing, since I did hope he could've showed Jason his might and at least teach him that he needed a lot of training in order to become a true leader and stronger demigod son of Jupiter or (Zeus).

Now Alcyeonus could've had a stronger weakness or at least be secure enough to choose a state that's bigger than ten miles (or more) wide. I mean he was just asking them to kill him with a majestic horse who could run at the speed of light.

Polybotes, could've proven his poisonous skills, by draining Percy and poisoning many of the legionaires, causing chaos and instilling fear in the Roman campers. This could've also proven that the camp was in immediate danger, but all they did was storm into camp and start fighting with an army of cyclops and monsters.

Ephialties and Otis were both the ones that actually lived up to my expectation of them. They managed to last long enough for Percy to secure a victory and for Jason to manage and handle off one of them. I say Bacchus was very unimpressive, becuase of his relaxed, I don't care of you die attitude, which was a bit annoying because I've always wanted to see a God in action, although Rick Riordan doesn't do that.

Even in the House of Hades, the only real threat was Hecate's bane which was rather impressive, because the entire time I was reading that, I felt a surve of immediate danger for Hazel and Leo, who I still feel Immediate danger for. I also feel like many of our heros are holding back, but back to topic.

The Titans came in strong and fought hard enough to provide a threat, not anything life shakening but a good threat for your average reader. Kronos was capable of using his powers over the mind to make Percy fear for his life.

Even in his battle with Kronos he did seem to feel fear and sense of duty. I say the only gods that would pose a great threat against the Gigantes are: Kronos, Hyperion, Krios and Kios. Because of the relationships between the Lords of the South, North and West I believe they can have a great combat tag team, as for Kronos, we only saw a fraction of his power, so releasing his full potential or his True form, I'd say he does have an advantage.

As for the Gigantes so far only Porphyrion seems to be of a great threat, I'd say he is the muscule behind their words, so if anything Kronos and Prophyrion can go against each other, while the remaining Titans fight the remaining Gigantes.

Only by numbers do I think the Gigantes have the upper hand, along with their only weakness being demigod and god combined, but in a fair fight, I see the Titans taking the win for this one. Although we've only seen a handful of the banes and not all of them, so I'd say it's a toss up.

My vote is for the Titans.
