Well, he's both. He is extremely powerful (and they have shown that multiple times). And he's manipulative, even more than Rumple.

And as for desireing to see insane power, what would be the point? If Rumple, Regina, Emma, Hades, Ingrid, Zelena,  possessed insane power and used it to defeat their opponent, there would be no story.

Emma: "My Name is Emma, and I am here to rescue Kill...."

Hades: "No.  Oh, and you're dead, go take a swim in the river"

Emma: *** Splash ***

Regina: "Now see here, you can't..."

Hades: << Waves Hand >>

Regina: *** Splash ***
