Hades is at least Rumple/ Merlin levels of strength (but Once doesn't define any of their powers strongly), but is truly immortal. He maybe more powerful than he's showing, but I will tell you that Regina has far better feats than Rumple, but we all know how weak Regina is compared to any Dark One. Rumple in the first 3 seasons, never did much more than teleport, transmute, telekinesis, and the occassional fireball.

Hades in a realm with tons of magic wielders keeps them all at bay, or else he obviously wouldn't be in charge. Since he seems to be averse to killing people himself, we won't likely see until the next episode, but he had weapons that could easily end Rumple.
