Pan is more poweful than any other sorcerer we know. More than Rumple, Cora, Regina, Malificent, more than anyone. Rumple himself said Pan's magic was too powerful. If it turns out to be that he's this powerful just because he's in Neverland and because he believes, I will be pretty disappointed.

I would like to see logical and possibly pretty cool explanations as to how and why Malcolm, the cowardly cheat became Pan, the most powerful demon we know (so far).

As for the Shadow not being Pan's, like some people were mentioning, I actually wouldn't mind if we didn't get to see whose shadow it actually is. I mean, like the Man in Black turning into the Monster (Black Smoke) in LOST, I don't think it would be necessary for us to find out everything about Shadow and how he came to be. The "most important" thing, imo, was explained when Malcolm said: "[Shadow] is part of the island. And after I do what it told me -- let you go -- it will become part of me, too."

To me, that "explains" how he "controls" Shadow.
