Let's see, he lured boys away from their homes. He taught them to fight, and routinely used Dreamshade laced weapons. (We saw that in Lost Girl). He tricked Henry into giving up his Heart. He somehow managed to steal Pandora's box from Rumple. He successfully body switched with Henry right in front of Rumple. He plays mind games with everyone (look at what he did with Emma, Neal, Hook, and everyone else), without the use of magic. And he killed his 'best friend' in pretty much cold blood in order to cast the curse. Even Regina felt some sense of loss when she killed her father.

Also, look at the situation that Wendy, Michael, and John were in, as a result of crossing Pan.

I'd say they did a pretty good job of portraying him as someone not to be trifled with. And if Gold, who we know is powerful, says that Pan is more powerful, that is enough for me. They don't always have to show everything. It would take too long and be too much filler to do that. Every villain plays mind games. Every villain is a cold blooded killer(except for maybe Ingrid).

Also just because someone says something doesn't always make it true. Examples are

Regina saying her and Gold were the two strongest magic users.

Hook saying Emma defeated pan and zelena.

True love kiss can break any curse.

When it comes to things like Golds mother and Regina's maid backstory they don't have to show us, but we should know why the main villain can't be easily defeated by two witches and one of the most powerful wizards in all the lands.
