to me jason being the most powerful demigod is like saying shuri is the smartest person in the mcu, like sure its possible but can you show me narratively that thats the case. they can say shes the smartest but i just can't agree because we haven't really seen her in action that much.
“An exchange. The only way to bring peace. The enemy counts on our divisions, and if we are divided, we will be destroyed. You are my peace offering, Jason—a bridge to overcome millennia of hatred.” - hera, the lost hero
“Oh, a great admirer of yours. Apparently, you made quite an impression on her. She will take care of you soon enough, and really I cannot complain. Spilling your blood at the Wolf House should mark my new territory quite well. Lupa will think twice about challenging my pack.” - lycaon, the lost hero
“The mighty Jason Grace. Yes, we know about you, son of Jupiter. The one who led the assault on Mount Othrys. The one who single-handedly slew the Titan Krios and toppled the black throne.” - enceladus, the lost hero
“Once you made it past Omaha, I decided to asked Lycaon to track you down so Jason could die here, at the Wolf House. You see, Jason, your blood spilled on this sacred ground will taint it for generations.” - khione, the lost hero
“An appetizer! Who are you—Hermes? Ares?” - porphyrion literally confusing jason for a GOD, the lost hero
“I’m the son of Jupiter! I’m a child of Rome, consul to demigods, praetor of the First Legion. I slew the Trojan sea monster, I toppled the black throne of Kronos, and destroyed the Titan Krios with my own hands. And now I’m going to destroy you, Porphyrion, and feed you to your own wolves.” - jason (i’m sorry I HAD TO THIS QUOTE IS NOT A BRAG IT’S LITERALLY JUST HIS ACCOMPLISHMENTS), the lost hero
“That is part of your destiny, Jason. You must find your own way back. But when you do … you will unite two great powers. You will give us hope against the giants, and more importantly—against Gaea herself.” - hera, the lost hero
“And why I am glad Zeus have you to me. You will be my champion, Jason. You will be the greatest of heroes, and bring unity to the demigods, and thus to Olympus.” - hera, the lost hero
“Jason… Percy couldn’t go very far in this camp without hearing that name.” - percy, the son of neptune
“The legion destroyed the enemy’s palace and about a million monsters. Jason had to battle Krios—hand-to-hand combat with a Titan, if you can imagine.” - hazel, the son of neptune
“Your fight with Kronos? Well done. Gaea hates you above all others… except perhaps for that upstart Jason Grace” - alyconeus, the son of neptune
“Ever since she’d arrived at Camp Jupiter, she’d heard stories about him. The campers spoke with reverence about the son of Jupiter who’d risen from the lowly ranks of the Fifth Cohort to become praetor, led them to victory in the Battle of Mount Tam, then disappeared. Even now, after all the events of the past couple of weeks, Jason seemed more like a legend than a person.” - hazel, the house of hades
“But Hazel couldn’t forget that Jason had been Hera’s first move in the war against the giants. The Queen of Olympus had dropped Jason into Camp Half-Blood, which had started this entire chain of events to stop Gaia. Why Jason first? Something told Hazel he was the linchpin. Jason would be the final play, too.” - hazel, the house of hades
“You are a son of Jupiter, yet you have chosen your own path – as all the greatest demigods have done before you.” - notus, the house of hades
“She thought of something Hazel had confided to her a few nights ago: I think Jason is the linchpin to Hera’s whole scheme. He was her first play; he’s going to be her last.” - piper, the blood of olympus
obviously there are more quotes BUT i’m not about to reread every single book and highlight all the quotes that emphasize jason’s importance/power……. i will someday but these are just the quotes i found online. again, due to character neglect, we’re never going to have the same literary support that percy does because jason is simply not favored as much as him.
