Fighting Ares, Percy used his powers, Ares didn't. And yeah, Ares is a coward. Also, when Percy fought Hades, he had the curse of Achilles. So he couldn't be killed by Hades's soldiers. Percy got the jump on Hades, and that caused him to fall. He didn't expect Percy to get past his soldiers. And Hades did teleport away. And he only begged because, yes he's a god, he wouldn't die. But he would have to flee and stay in the Underworld for several years just to heal. Percy could also have damaged Hades face forever. Not all godly wounds heal completely. Oh like say, getting your face cleaved in half by a bronze sword. Percy also didn't one-v-one Hyperion. He has powers that negate Hyperion and that's why he held the advantage for most of the fight. He was also in his natural element. But Percy began to tire and needed to call on help to defeat him. And he didn't even beat Kronos in a fight, ever in fact. They beat him because Luke gained control of his body for a split second as Kronos was preparing to leave Luke's body, giving him a little bit of time. Really, Percy isn't as powerful as a lot of people think.
