A/N: Ok so I felt kind and decided to let you guys choose the things being compared. For the nextchapter and the one after that and the one after that... Well you get the idea. Of course I must approve of it first. Please put any comments you have on how to improve this and remember this is just for fun. By the way, I'll tell you how many people voted for what. Remember, you only have a limited time to review before I post the next chapter and the tallies will be scored. I'll update this thin once or twice a day. Oh and there will be spoilers from the Lost Hero and books from the first series, so don't read unless you don't care about spoilers or unless you've already read them.
Personally I think the Master Bolt is the most powerful, but the helm is the most useful and the trident, eh, its powerful but its true strength is controlling the sea. But anyway, the tallies are...for cliches sake...drum roll please...3 votes for Helm of Darkness, one for Master Bolt, and one for the Trident. And the winner is the Helm of Darkness!
Now the next question: Which child of the Big Three is more powerful? A child of Zeus, Poseidon, or Hades? I'll list their known powers up to date. Children's of Zeus can shoot some electricity from their body but the strength is not like that of a lightning bolt. They can cummunicate with at least some of things that are directly connected to Zeus. Like the statues in Hoover Dam. They can also manipulate normal winds with rather ease and even wind spirirts but those are hard to control. Manupilating winds mean they can sorta fly for a time but the weight of three teenagers is enough to overthrow control. With enough strength and cooperation from their daddy they cane summon a power blast of lightning from the sky.
Poseidon's kids can manipulate water, most wounds and poison can be healed in water, not all though, and their strength and skill increases when they are doused or at least partially submerged in water. Salt water proabably works best. They can survive below sea and can manipulate the currents. They can control rivers easily if they have the river spirits cooperation and even if the river does not cooperate they can redirect the flow for a limited amount of time. They remain dry unless they want to be wet. They can talk to horses, pegusus, and most sea creatures. They can create miniture earthquakes, but it is extremely exhausting. They can summon a small hurricane around them but it is also tiring. They can summon water from far distances but the effort can nearly kill them.
The kids of Hade's can control the spirits of the dead to a certain point. They can summon and command most spirits. They can summon skeleton warriors to fight. They can shadow travel, but doing it more than once or twice a day dry them of their strenghth. They can banish spirits of the dead. They can create fissures from the ground. They can send souls that have escaped death to the Underworld if they accept death. Such as Nico releasing Daeledus' spirit in the BotL.
Well that's all I know. If I'm missing anything please tell me.
