commander but you should also remember that the reason frank, leo and piper where so powerful  was because they had received 'power-ups' from other sources, since gods can mess with the powers their children can have, Poseidon giving frank shapeshifting abilities, Aphrodite giving piper charmspeak and Hephaestus giving leo fire or even hercules getting powers from hera, which regular children from their parentage wouldn't have. They didn't 'give' them the powers, its just how it happened. Frank got shapeshifting from Periclymenus, not like oseidon just "decided" on a whim to give him those powers. As stated, Hephaestus kids can have pyrokinesis(fire manipulation), its just rare. Its not like they just pick and chose. And all Aphrodite kids have at least a little charmspeak,Piper's is just stronger. I'm sure Drew could have it as strong as Piper if she'd been exposed to more dire, life-on-the-line situations, like Piper had.

So, while you can't fully they are not powerful on their on merits, its not as simple as 'poof' you have strong powers. Its by luck: that they gained these powers and chance: that they were in environments where they could develop them.
