Welcome! This post is part of my Most Interesting Questions series, which means I’ll be answering the most interesting questions I can find or think of on Percy Jackson. Percy Jackson is a series about greek demigods in modern times. The main Percy Jackson characters include Percy, Annabelle Chase, Grover, and they also have quite a few school mates at Camp Half-Blood. The series was made into a movie, though I think most would agree that the Percy Jackson books are much better. This post will mostly cover the first three books in the Percy Jackson book series, pictured below.
By the way, if you’re wondering about who I am, I’m an author from Portland, OR. Many of my books would also be great reads for any fan of Percy Jackson, feel free to check them out using the menu above!
Q #1: Could Percy Jackson win a fight against any of the Avengers?
A: He might be able to hold his own against some of the weaker Avengers. Against the likes of Iron Man and Captain America he’d definitely be toast. One weakness to consider is the fact that his sword, Anaklusmos, can only affect gods, demigods, Titans, giants, and monsters. Since most of the Avengers are humans with superhuman capabilities, the sword wouldn’t work on them. Would the Hulk be considered a monster though? If Thor is a god or even a demigod then it would work on him. Percy does also have the benefit of being able to control water, but the Avengers have all faced worse than that. Percy is much younger than any of the Avengers, which means that he would not be as physically strong as them. If he let any of them get up close, he’d most certainly be toast.
Q #2) What would Percy Jackson be like if the series was written by George R.R. Martin?
A: Percy Jackson would probably die at the end of the first book. Luke would have succeeded in killing him, and book number two would be about Annabeth rising to fill Percy’s shoes. By the end of the first trilogy Grover would be in charge of camp half-blood, Clarisse would be recruiting an army to help Ares take over control of Mount Olympus from Zeus, and Kronos would have taken over the underworld and killed Hades.
Q #3) Is there going to be another Percy Jackson?
A: It depends what is meant by another Percy Jackson. I think there could be another book. At some point in the future I think it likely will be another attempt at a movie, or maybe a TV show, given the popularity of the series.
On the other hand, there likely will be and already are other characters and series like Percy Jackson. They’re not exactly the same, but Percy Jackson is a very inspirational series.
Q #4) Could Percy Jackson get his sword pen through airport security?
A: I’d say definitely yes! The sword is magic, and airport security isn’t equipped to deal with magic. It can transform into a pen, so it’d look relatively harmless when passing through. And, I suspect, the government shutdown would make this even easier for Percy.
Q #5) Who would win in a fight between Green Arrow and Percy Jackson?
A: Green Arrow. And it’s not even close. He’s an ordinary human, which means Percy couldn’t harm him with Anaklusmos. Percy’s only option would be to fight him at a distance, but unless there was a huge body of water nearby, Green Arrow has the agility and training to easily avoid any water Percy might attack with. Plus, Green Arrow has a whole assortment of arrows. He’d easily win against Percy Jackson, even at a distance.
Q #6) Why does Percy Jackson suck?
A: This is a great question to answer now, since we’ve now established that Percy would lose in a fight against Green Arrow, and likely lose in a fight against most of the Avengers. Percy Jackson would suck going head-to-head against superheroes, because that’s what they do all day is fight. Their bodies and their skills are superior. Percy, however, is incredibly bright. What sucks about him is his raw power, but what rocks is his intellect.
Q #7) How attractive is Percy Jackson?
A: I’d say he grows more attractive as the series goes on. Percy is like the weird kid who nobody pays attention to in school, then he goes off to camp half-blood and suddenly everyone pays attention to him because now he knows who he is.
Q #8) What if Percy Jackson died?
A: It depends when he died. At the very best, Annabeth would be horrified, but the world would go on. At the very worst, the gods would start a war and America would crumble.
Q #9) If the gods go to Hogwarts, which house would they be in (the gods in Percy Jackson)?
A: Zeus and Poseidon would be in Gryffindor. Hades and Ares would be in Slytherin. Athena would be in Ravenclaw. Hermes would be in Hufflepuff. I think Dionysus would be in Gryffindor, but he’s a harder one to pin down. Artemis would probably be a Ravenclaw like Athena, and I think Apollo would be a Hufflepuff like Hermes.
Q #10) Who would win in a fight, Percy Jackson or Katara?
A: Two water-benders facing off against each-other! This is most certainly the closest matched two people we’ve examined in a fight so far. Like against the others, Percy would not be able to use Anaklusmos against Katara, but she doesn’t usually have a weapon either, so this would just put them on even more equal footing. Percy’s advantage, however, comes from the fact that water heals him, without him having to do anything. Just being in water heals Percy, whereas Katara has to actively water-bend in order to heal herself. Even if Katara did use water-bending against Percy, it couldn’t harm him, because water heals Percy. Katara would not be similarly advantaged, so I give this win to Percy.
Thanks for reading! Now I invite you to check out more MIQ posts below, or my book Sand and Smoke, which also is fantasy, with lots of action and lovable characters, and draws inspiration from Percy Jackson in one way…but I can’t tell you how, because that would spoil the book.
