If I could remember, all Hercules have done when he was a demigod, Percy managed to top it all at the age of 17. He doubled all of Hercules’ feats and accomplishments

[@alexotero7105]

He did even better. Spoilers ahead for the Chalice of the Gods in case someone didn’t read it: In order to acquire the Chalice and return it to Ganymede, Percy challenged Geras (the god of old age) to a fight. Being the deity of old age, Geras has the weight of millennia on his shoulders and is practically impossible to beat in a duel of strength. Only one demigod had even managed to bring Geras to a draw, that being Hercules. Percy is about to lose the fight when he reflects on how he’d love to grow old with Annabeth and Grover and realizes that he shouldn’t be scared of old age, for he chose to live his life when he turned down inmortality and he should enjoy life for what it is. Percy hugs Geras, telling he loves him (as in, he loves the life he wants for him and values Geras’ sacrifice). Geras is touched, because nobody ever valued old age and therefore nobody cared about him. By showing Geras that he cared, Percy did even better than Hercules (who we are told several times that he was the biggest jerk in Ancient Greece).

But percy has fought almost every Greek monster known and unknown at this point. He's fought God's, titans, and Giants, in the later books he chokes a goddess with her own poison for Zeus sake.

[@inesaudouy457]

I believe Annabeth is really underrated in terms of powers. Yes she has no “magic” except her insane intelligence, but she is an extremely skilled fighter which we often forget. She managed to survive on her own at age 7 before finding Luke and Thalia, she has such knowledge on myths that she knows how to defeat enemies way more easily than others. So of cours she is not like Percy or Leo; but at least she surpasses Piper. By a lot. In terms of experience, also 1v1 combat. Yes Piper has charmspeak but if someone can escape it it’s annabeth. My girl doesn’t get enough credit 😭

Powers and abilities are different things, fighting is something they all can learn, she's good at it because she fights since she was 7yo. But if it was a list based on the best demigods, she'd definitely be top 3

[@michaeldemiurgos1387]

Percy is the most powerful demigod said by Nico himself. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong. I feel like Thalia should be higher, she has the blessing of artemis which makes her faster and a bit stronger than normal demigods. She went toe to toe with Percy and she defeated Luke with her combat skills.

[@Paris-ly]

I totally agree! She’s basically semi-immortal. Rick nerfed her by making her afraid of heights. She would have been so much more powerful if she could fly and control the winds

[@Jannah_akhira]

Yup we can agree

[@Kbax3614]

The thing is demigods become more powerful as they age. And, Thalia couldn't handle 13 years old Percy when she was 16. In fact, Percy was going to win when Oracle interrupted. As for speed and strenght, while she may be far stronger and faster than normal demigods(due to her being a child of big three) she is still far weaker and slower than Jason, Percy, Nico. When Percy and Jason fought, Piper said that she couldn't see them. And, the same Piper saw giants in slow motion. The thing that makes her seem powerful is her character and courage. Other, than that she hasn't done anything impressive to match Argo 2 demigods.

[@michaeldemiurgos1387]

@@Kbax3614 Okay.... But you gotta remember that Thalia has been a tree for almost 7/6 years so when she lost against Percy is understandable why? Percy at that age still had some training while Thalia on the other hand has been surviving on the streets since she was 11 l think. She's self thaught, she didn't get the training percy got from chiron, nico from ghost in the underworld and Jason from Camp Jupiter. And to defeat Luke who's been called as the best swordsman in 300 years is a big deal. Luke could probably go toe to toe with jason in terms of combat. In that creek fight, let's be real here....... I love percy but without the water he would've been a roasted fish. The water kept healing him while thalia on the other hand had no healing powers. She also got the blessing of artemis which makes her stronger and faster and the fact that she's a child of the big three, that makes her one hell of a demigod. They srsly nerfed her by making her afraid of heights. Ofc at the moment she's not as powerful as Jason, Percy or Nico but she has the potential to be atleast more powerful than Jason and Nico. She deserves to be higher on this list. I would've given her Leo's spot. Thunder, lightning beats Fire from what we've learned from Avatar TLA. And leo has no combat skills as good as Thalia. No way in hell are Frank, Leo, Piper (Maybe) and Hazel stronger than her.

[@phoebusapollo8365]

She never actually went “toe to toe” with Percy. They had a confrontation back when Percy was 14. She sent a lightning bolt at him (her literal strongest attack), he recovered in 3 seconds, and lifted an entire creek that would’ve drowned her with little to no effect. Now, during and after HOO, Percy is far far far more powerful than he was then, and we really don’t know how powerful she is rn. If you’re using that lopsided confrontation from when they were 14, that doesn’t apply right now.

Yup Nico is powerful but to me he is a glass cannon. He can dish out a lot of damage, but he is young and his powers take a lot of energy.

[@Jellybeansatdusk]

She single-handedly stopped Gaea from rising as a CHILD who had never been trained in combat, so raw power alone. Being able to control the most in insanely OP on its own, and that’s without touching her Pluto powers, knwoledge of the underground, her gems and precious metals, the curses she was able to inflict unintentionally, plus on a physical level she’s a highly trained Roman soldier who has literally the fastest horse to ever live, talk about a frightening cavalry. But yeah control over the Mist alone is like top five minimum.

And whatever he decides is neither better or worse then the other options he had.

I don't know where you got the idea that she held the sky for a full week. Percy dreamed her taking it and Artemis relieving her in subsequent nights so at most she held it for 24 hours.

Apart from being a phenomenal healer, Will doesn’t really have feats until The Sun and Star. Silena is a great character, but was never really powerful, apart from her Charmspeak (and unlike Piper, we don’t really have a lot of development regarding her powers). Octavian is dangerous because of his political meddling, but that’s about it. Only reason the bastard didn’t die sooner was because of his influence, cos Reyna would’ve murdered him after he stabbed Gwen had Mars not shown up. Like, he is not even a demigod, he is a legacy and a poor one at that. As a matter of fact, his only two abilities (political speaker and receiving prophecies) are easily topped by Reyna and Rachel respectively (the latter being the mortal Oracle of Delphi). Silena and Will lack more time to develop their abilities. Octavian literally wouldn’t hold his own against a mortal.

Okay, I just think that Meg should be higher on this list.

I dont think that Nico will be better than Percy, but he at least will be able to stand his ground. Swordmanship alone is incomparable between the two, the only thing giving Percy a hard time would be the deadly touch I think, but Percys agility and Battle IQ are also above Nicos. Also Nicos Powers exhaust him too much, and probably will always leave a big gap in stamina everytime he uses them, while Percy can just dip into a bit of water and be the completely refreshed.

Then Meg, (I’m going off what another comment said so I would sound similar) is probably one of the most powerful children of Demeter and she can teleport using plants which can be used to her advantage a lot. She can also summon peach which I believe is a pretty rare ability, adding onto all that she was trained by both Lu and Nero allowing her to have excellent fighting skills.

That's not true, Percy has done that uncountable times. First he sacrifices himself by fighting ARES one on one, then holding off the telekhines, agreeing to the prophecy even though he knew he might have gotten killed, agreeing to Nico's plan, carrying the sky, agreeing to fight Geae's son, and so many more times even I can't remember.

AGREED! I would have placed Leo at maybe top 3. I believe he is so often overlooked. I mean, that dude is really smart, probably close to Annabeth's level. If he is smart enough to build a whole flying ship and those crazy iventions, he has to be pretty good. He is also very witty, he often gets out of tight trouble really fast and easily. With his fire abilities and talent to be able to build literally ANYTHING, he could be extremely powerful if only they didn't repress his full powers.

Leo deserves more credit where it’s due. Never liked how he was the 7th wheel in the crew. He did so much from behind the scenes, he built the Argo 2 and repaired it himself after it gets damaged.

[@ashanteunderwood3736]

I don't see a lot of people mentioning these points so ill put them here. First, that time when Percy was cleaning those horse stables and summoned so much water from small fossilized shells, because "Everything used to be underwater" a power that kind of got forgotten about which basically makes him overpowered considering he doesn't even need a water source nearby to summon large amounts of water. Second of all, when Percy fought Hyperion in TLO when he first summoned a hurricane. It described flickers of lightning in his storm. I think that also got overlooked later but man, lightning as a son of Poseidon. Finally the evolution of his powers. Again, the first time we see the hurricane its described as small and around him only. In demigods and magicians its described as the size of a cul-de-sac. Pretty huge.

[@fangirls_leader687]

I would want Nico's power without a doubt. I think Percy is the most skilled demigod.

But once he got the hang of them he could use his powers easier and they did have something to do with him defeating monsters.

[@raiklitzenberger1560]

I do not agree with him having the most potential, just because, as many other comments already mentioned, Percy has the power of Earthquakes which he never used, can pretty much blood bend, and also heal and revitalise when only even touching water.

They’re placed pretty well honestly, they’re strong but can’t beat the demigods above them

[@emma-eb7mf]

I pretty agree with most of your ranks. But... why Annabeth isn't higher? For me she is one of the best demigods. Ok, she can't fly or bend water or fire. But that why she is really amazing. She can handle most of anything only with her intelligence, her fight skills and her wisdom. She didn't have powerful powers (if being smart isn't enough) but she is still one of the seven. And she surrvived as many hardships as Percy. For me she is one of the 5 best demigods. Oh, and she is a leader. So, I love all the Percy Jackson's characters, the seven, Nico, Will, Reyna and others but I still thinking Annabeth should be higher.

[@hafi3327]

Agreed. But I think it's fair cause this is the list based on power wise. And yeah, I could argue Annabeth could take down most of them in battle/fight.

[@kimicrewe4443]

I agree Annabeth should be ranked higher her hand to hand combat and iq is insane but Reyna should not be(they should both be above piper though)

[@sirfuxalot]

i hope if rick makes anymore books he goes into depth on the extent of percy’s water powers like if he can blood blend or make water boil/freeze and if he can increase the water pressure, since percy is a good person tho i doubt he’ll actually use blood bending in a fight unless he’s already in the angered state after controlling poison or just really pissed off for any other reason

I feel like the placement of Leo and Annabeth are wrong for starters Leo can defeat pretty much everyone else in the top five. Nico: with Nico he can just use Ranged attacks like a fireball or just you know light the floor on fire. Magnus: with Magnus he can simply attack Magnus forcing Jack to defend him and then use the fact that they're forced to stay in defence to his advantage (yeah I know this is a pretty risky strategy but still). Carter: for Carter just keep your distance due to the fact he uses physical enhancements and just attempt to dodge the 20ft Horus or just get Festus to keep him occupied (just incase Carter has some other ability i'm unaware of just know that I am unaware of it and that's why the mistake occured). Percy: And finally Percy the person everyone is going to say could beat Leo like snapping a twig, Leo can just create a small barrier of super-hot fire around himself if Percy summons water and then otherwise just attempt to hit and run or again ranged attacks. Because everyone (but Magnus) in the top five has one vital weakness that Leo would most likely see and abuse RANGE And then Annabeth where something that everybody forgets is that Annabeth held up the sky longer then Artemis and Percy combined, she spent several days on her knees holding up the sky whilst Percy could barely manage minutes due to the pain.

[@WoffleDog]

Annabeth defs held up the sky longer than Percy did, but Artemis held it for a week, longer than the likely 6-10 hours Annabeth held it for (A lot of people say 2 days but it's incredibly hard to say she would survive that plus factors in the book suggest that time frame). It's still a testament to Annabeths outstanding strength though.

[@Choda_fett]

Percy can blood bend if he wanted (which I don’t think he will unless he’s really mad) to so Leo is kinda screwed also there is water in the air so he can use that to his advantage.

[@kimicrewe4443]

1. Nico uses Skeletons to tank fireblasts while opening holes in the ground below Leo forcing him to not be able to aim and rushes him winning in close combat 2. Jack flies and slices through Leo, it’s BS but yeah Jack carries without it Magnus is not even top 15 3. Even if Leo gets festus Carter would rip him apart, tank any fire Leo throws, and crush Leo. Also Carter can use spells at range 4. Percy not even using powers rushes through what ever fire Leo conjures up and snaps punches a whole through him. The other four were fair if a little reaching but saying he’s beats Percy is straight delusion. He doesn’t even beat Jason.

[@kimicrewe4443]

Also holding the sky is a feat of will not strength

[@Moron14]

@@kimicrewe4443 1. I highly doubt that Nico's skeletons could tank fire-blasts mainly due to the fact that they have no flesh and how the fire would move due to physics seeing as they would probably move around the bones making them poor defense at close proximity thus forcing Nico back further removing any chance for an attack unless he manipulates bones which again opens him for an attack and shadow travel would be nigh-impossible due to a lack of shadows he could use 2. Honestly I feel that Jack could speed-blitz Leo although Leo Could possibly force Jack to play defensively due to keeping Magnus under fire (excuse the pun) although Magnus could possibly calm Leo long enough for Jack to attack, and one thing that I didn't remember that i'll cover now is that magnus is shown to have resistance to temperatures although Surt could heat up asphalt and spear him with it which I feel is how Leo could possibly win but Magnus's temperature resistance is a bit finicky so it could go either way but Leo could definitely hold off Magnus for some time if not beat him if Jack wasn't present. Even if my former statement of him beating Magnus was false him being able to hold his own against Jack (atleast for a little bit) speaks numbers about him (and yes Jack is the threat here) 3. Yeah it's been ages since i've read anything with Carter in it so I won't comment due to a lack of knowledge on his character at the moment 4. With Percy Leo could try and create columns of flame around himself to protect from water based attacks but to be honest I don't even know what I was thinking when I wrote that Percy wins although Leo could possibly just detonate himself but he doesn't really win in that scenario Also give Annabeth some credit she is insanely skilled in the books and should probably be higher

I'm sick with the spicy cough rn so I was browsing and suddenly stumbled upon this. It's been a hot minute since my Riordanverse phase but this was pretty interesting ngl. Nice evaluations!

[@cald1421]

I think we should have gotten more development with Percy from the books. A quick review of his powers: Control of water, breathes and heals from it-maybe even invincible in it Can cause earthquakes Can summon a hurricane Best swordsman Flight via Pegasus Shadow travel via helldog Underrated intelligence (like leo he’s quickly thought of solutions to bad situations and multiple characters describe him as smarter than he lets on) -he lacks long term strategy and big picture thinking but with Annabeth he has that too Control of liquids That last one is really interesting because he can control poisons. I’ve been really curious on whether he can control blood and “blood bend.” I think a darker mature book could feature him using badass but also downright evil powers to wring people out and pull blood and water from their bodies, basically being a blood god

[@cjtrules1]

I think his powers are the most well documented out of everyone.

[@inmybestdaysidontdocrack]

Glad to see some making videos about this amazing universe.

[@Oreo73929]

I think Jason deserves to be higher, if he reached higher in his potential like Percy he'd either be on parr or maybe even more powerful. Some of Percy's feats r the almost the same as Jason's, like defeating Kronos(krios), holding back Gaea, becoming a praetor, and Jason almost beat Percy in a fight as well(not sure if this counts since they were being mind controlled)

[@kimicrewe4443]

The Jason Percy fight would have absolutely ended in Percy’s favour and that was miles away from any body of water while Jason was free to spam lighting which Percy just tanked, also Krios is much much weaker than Kronos, he’s even weaker than Hyperion

[@crissy-is2mc]

Annabeth is underrated she is the brains of the 7. If she hadn’t defeated Arachne, the romans and Greeks would not unite and so on.. broo she literally held the sky, helped fight akhlys and nyx……. She is really underrated. AND THAT ISN’T FAIR.

[@error8119]

Percy Jackson cause yes Nico’s power with his potential is crazy. His powers could very well be the greatest gift ever, but healing from water is just way too good, especially since Percy also probably hasn’t unlocked or gotten all his powers to full capacity.

I agree with everything except for Annabeth’s ranking. I guess if it’s purely power based, hyper intelligence isn’t as strong as Nico’s frickin necromancy. But she has survived and gone toe-to-toe with some of the most powerful beings in the Riordanverse. She survived NYX. C’mon!

I want to make an important distinction. Being the most powerful, doesn’t mean you would win in a fight against the other characters. While I agree that Reyna and Annabeth aren’t the most powerful, I still think they could beat everyone else in the list

[@cjtrules1]

Yeah lists like these always take into account the combative abilities someone has. Abilities of children of Athena, Bellona, Hermes, and Ares aren't as combative as The Big Three or super special powers like Frank's. I guarantee if Reyna and Annabeth know their enemy they would be able to devise a strategy to either have their opponent's powers work against them or be unusable.

Neither of them would beat either of the Kane twins

[@loganstewart5433]

You forgot to mention he fought and won(I think, its been a while since i read the books) against Ares in a fight at age 12

[@phoebusapollo8365]

Not really? I mean kinda? It was more of a win cause of the rules of the duel/Kronos saved him. Basically, Percy goads Ares into making it a sword fight making 95% of Ares’ power set nil. Percy and Ares fight, Ares is playing around and generally not taking it with even a sliver of seriousness. Then Percy sends a 6ft tall wave right into his face, and stabs his heel while he’s distracted. Then Ares goes to kill Percy, then Kronos stops Ares from killing him, Ares curses Percy, and then leaves. So, I mean, you’re technically right that Percy won the duel? But A) Most of Ares’ power set was considered off limit due to the rules of the duel B) Percy is a scrawny 12 year old so nobody was taking him seriously (including himself) C) Percy was immediately saved by someone else after getting first blood So it’s really not viable as a power scaling situation.

[@jonahvanzandt1629]

I feel like Jason should be a little bit higher but it can't be helped, I guess. He really was dealt the short end of the stick throughout the books but when he did go all out, it was glorious. For example, when he and percy were possessed by the eidalons, they were pretty much equally matched, but piper stopped Jason before he could do anything worse. Not saying he's equal to percy but I'd like to believe he'd be top 5 if he was given more chances to go all out.

[@kimicrewe4443]

I agree Jason is ranked criminally low along with Hazel and Frank, this dude has something against the Romans 😂 He should definitely be above Leo

[@avan3508]

Something for some people to think about. He’s the main character. Maybe it’s not that he’s powerful because he’s the MC But He’s the MC because he’s powerful. If there was another demigod as powerful as him and as lucky as him (luck is a power) they’d be the main character instead.

[@sonofhades9349]

I completely agree with Michael Demiurgos, "Percy is the most powerful demigod said by Nico himself. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong." But answering PJW's question, I would have Nico's power. Nico relates to me in many, many ways and, out of all these Heroes, I think that his powers are the best to work alone with. Even if your alone you could trade a bit of your strength for a couple of undead warriors. Who knows, maybe that will turn the tide of battle. This suits me because I work alone a lot . (Of course I don’t fight monster and gods, but lets just ignore that...) Also do I even have to mention the fact Nico can basically teleport like an Olympian using shadow travel? According to me there is no competition between Nico and the other Demigods. Also PJW, I've been watching you for years, your the best youtuber out here. Keep up the good work!
