We already know that Percy Jackson is a character from the book series who is born to do great things despite being a demigod. But how powerful is he and what are his powers? Does Percy Jackson have the ability to bloodbend, breathe underwater, and others?
In this article, we'll be talking about Percy Jackson's powers as described in the source material.
Can Percy Jackson Bloodbend?
First of all, let's talk about the possibility of whether Percy Jackson can bloodbend. This is a much-debated topic among hardcore fans of the book series and the TV show.
So can Percy Jackson bloodbend?
The answer is yes and no. In theory, Percy can control water found in plasma. The plasma in our blood is 90% water, which means that he can manipulate it.
But it's also important to note that blood isn't just plasma. Other components make up blood, which Percy doesn't have power over.
It's also worth noting that Poseidon (Percy's biological father) is not the god of blood. Poseidon is only the god of the sea. This doesn't give him the ability to control every type of liquid.
Can Percy Jackson Breathe Underwater?
Yes, Percy Jackson can breathe underwater for an unlimited period. Since he doesn't have gills, he can separate air molecules from water. He can also create air bubbles and air pockets for his companions.
However, there is a catch. If the water is magical, Percy is unable to use his powers properly nor breathe underwater.
Percy can also walk on water.
Can Percy Jackson Control All Liquids?
Since Percy is the son of Poseidon, he has inherited his father's hydrokinesis power. This allows him to control and lift huge volumes of water of up to 10,000 gallons.
In addition to this, Percy has the ability to change the state of water and use it as a weapon for his companions.
It's also important to note that while Percy can manipulate water, he cannot control every single liquid. If the liquid contains magic or poison, Percy cannot control it. But if the poison contains water, Percy can control the water mixed with poison.
His other powers include healing himself in water, speaking to other marine life, and many others. He can also control the weather, create hurricanes, and understand the functions of any watercraft.
With these powers in place, Percy proves that he is a powerful demigod, if not, the most powerful one in existence.
