I disagree with the first part. I can use the same argument you used against me: There is absolutely no way in hell Jason will pass out with Piper's safety at stake. While Jason getting hit by a brick isn't exactly the same situation like Percy was in The House of Hades, there is one thing in common in with both of them, both Percy and Jason were definitely protecting their girlfriends. Don't think that Percy is the only one guy who would do anything to protect his girlfriend. (Though, I think we can agree that no no will ever surpass Percy in terms of sacrificing for the sake of his girlfriend, like he did when he turned down the offer of immortality and going to Tartarus for her).

@ 8th

So, like I mentioned to Commander earlier, since I believe the situation with Jason and Percy are very similar (Though obviously Percy was in a more dangerous situation) in terms of protecting their loved ones, I definitely believe that, yes, Percy can actually, for the sake of protecting Annabeth, take much more pain and suffering than Jason any day, as he showed in The House of Hades. And like Commander mentioned with Percy about his mind was already set to take everything for Annabeth, I think Jason's was in the same position in The Mark Of Athena-though more mildly than Percy-when he got hit with that brick. Oh, and like Etheridge605 said, the curses were definitely physical, and much more painful than Jason getting hit by a brick. How can you compare someone who fainted when he got hit by a brick, to someone who was dying very slowly, in Tartarus, seeing it in it's true horror-which can destroy someone's sanity- AND hit with dozens of curses that were killing him? I'm sorry, but I find that ridiculous if you don't believe this isn't durability or endurance at all.
