In the ocean with Percy from the end of the books. I haven't read Aquaman in a while so I am not sure if his power have changed much. Lets say that riptide can cut Aquaman since he is more than human.

Percy might actually win this, as he is invulnerable (save for the one spot on his lower-middle back).


Plus, in water, Percy can't technically be hurt (thanks to water healing him constantly).

Aquaman does have his telepathy, unless Perc can resist then it should give him the win.

Percy has his own TP. He can communicate with all the sea animals as well. And being half sea god would probably (though I am not for sure) mean that Aquaman's seizure power won't work.

Percy jackson series. The first is the lightning thief. They are five books about modern day half blooded heroes. They are pretty dead on too with keeping in line with the old myths.

I'd give it too Pecy as long as Aquaman's Telepathy doesn't come into play.

He could talk to horse's to but I think it was more him being able to understand horse's and fish rather than TP. But then again he did break out of an ilusion made by a minor god so it's not unreasonable to say he could resist TP. Even before he got invulrabilaty he had pretty crazy durabilaty afterall he tanked a volcano erupting. Does annyone else think it's kind of odd that big 3 Demi-gods are the only ones who got powers while all the others just seemed to gain fighting skill,s.

Actually, Ethan Nakamura had powers (he mentioned them in the last book). Charles, from Hephestus cabin, also seemed to have inherited his father's powers to build things.


I want to say Ares's kid also demonstrated a few traits of Ares's powers, like beuing a natural with any weapon.

It is unreasonable to say he'd resist TP because he broke out of an illusion by a minor god, actually. First of all, the fact that it's called a minor god means nothing, we go by feats. Second, Aquaman doesn't mindscrew you with illusions, so breaking out of one really doesn't translate into resisting this kind of TP anyways.

Either way, Aquaman's TP worked on a white martian, so unless this "minor god" he resisted is near white martian level in terms of psychic powers, then I doubt he's resisting anything.

Aquaman's TP works on aquatic lifeforms. the White Martian thing was him using it on a particluar part of theMartian's brain that was once fih like, IIRC.




Percy has shown aquatic TP just like Aquaman. There is no differance, really.

Which doesn't mean Percy can resist Aquaman's telepathy. Plus Aquaman has much better feats with it, and I haven't seen Percy mindscrew people in the part of their brain descended from marine life like Aquaman can.

Well, he forced the flesh eating horses to back off, so there is that.


And I'd also point out that the Demi-Gods were noted as having stronger than normal minds against mental attacks and illusions.


Though I'd ask if Aquaman can even do it to Percy, as he's not descended from marien lifeforms (Posiedon doesn't count as he doesn't actually have normal human DNA).

Technically, he doesn't have any DNA. It was mentioned in the books that Gods don't have DNA that is why Brother and sister can procreate without some messed up kids.

Rick said its still wrong if they have the same God parent it's just OK for all the other distant reltives to do the nasty.

I realy should take away Percy's invunrabilaty If I make a thread about him. He's already a low end bullet timer with crazy damage soke and not to mention a very smart fighter.

I like the Percy Jackson book's but why does Annabeth have to be a faux action girl Its made worst when by the fact that she's surounded by real action girls.

I haven't read the books so this is a wild stab in the dark. But I don't think Percy has the strength to take Aquaman down, not sure if he can be hurt himself but Aquaman can almost certainly get a ten-count.

Also I think that Aquaman's telepathy is being a bit underestimated here. But the mental resistance might tank it anyway.

Percy held up the sky thats a pretty darn impresive strength feat right there but then again it may have been more conected to his will power than his actual strength. He can control water so with bloodlust on Percy's usual gentle personality goes out the windo and he could just dehidrate Auther.

OK, not sure if holding up the sky can be translated into actual strength.

Has he ripped water out of people before?

And as a side note, are the books worth reading?

Percy hasnt actualy forget I mentiond that strategy.

There definatly worth reading Percy's character really shines through in the naration and rearly adds alot of humer to the charater. It has it's flaws but it's very fun book it helps that it dosnt take itself to seriosly.

IN the books, if the sky drops, it will crush the whole planet flat. It is technically one of the first gods that is literally big enough to cover the earth.

Other than that strength feat, he is able to lift pretty heavy objects though he gets stronger in water. When he was twelve he was able to rip the horn off a minotaur with his bare hands while it was raining.

With his feat wet he can jump well over 25 feet.

Not that it matters, strength is a non factor when he controls the ocean currents and can make mini hurricanes.


I like the books. I read them pretty fast. They are fun, entertaining and actually pretty smart. I was worried in the first book when no one actually died and the monsters simple puffed into smoke. By the last books bodies are strewn everywhere. It matures as it goes along.

Him lifting the sky isn't an actual strength feat, it has more to do with willpower then anything.

I liked the books very much and would recomend them, but it of course is a matter of opinion.
