Jason vs Percy: Who is stronger?

By Aarav Kumar

Hey, guys, in this post I am going to talk about the biggest rivalry of the Rick Riordan books, Jason vs Percy.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

So, Jason vs Percy, who is really stronger? Okay, first let us talk about Percy’s achievements:

He killed the Minotaur with his bare hands, he killed Medusa with his sword, he beat Ares with Riptide and his water powers, he beat Atlas with Artemis’ help, he beat an army of Telkhines and woke up Typhon by creating an earthquake, he beat Lapetus with Thalia, and Nico using his water powers, he dipped himself in the River Styx, he killed the Minotaur (again), he beat Hyperion by creating a hurricane, he beat Polybotes with the help of Terminus (a minor god, so this is a considerably huge achievement), he beat the giant twins, Otis and Ephilates, with Jason, and with (little) help from Bacchus (or Dionysius, whatever), and he beat Polybotes (again), with help from Poseidon.

Now, Jason:

He killed the Trojan Sea Monster, he killed Krios (not that many details, but in the Lost Hero Jason says that he killed Krios with his own hands, this can probably be suggesting that he killed him with his bare hands, which is a massive feat considering Krios was a titan), he wounded Enceladus with Piper and Leo’s help, he almost killed the weakened Porphyrion, he helps Percy kill Otis and Ephilates, and he almost kills Caligula (not happened yet).

So, this decision took a lot of effort to take, but only by a long shot can Jason win. I mean, sure, he is the son of the king of gods, but in sword fighting Percy definitely beats Jason, his achievements speak for themselves. While Jason only defeated one Titan, Percy defeated three, not counting Kronos. Percy’s powers also outrank Jason, we found out in the House of Hades that he controls all liquids, so, just think about it, the power to control all liquids vs the power to control the wind, and the (just a little bit) weather. In my opinion, Percy will have a win percentage of 77% and Jason with 33%. This decision has not been taken lightly, Jason is, most definitely, the second most powerful demigod in Camp Jupiter and Camp Half-blood, with the possible exception of Nico.
