1. Hook killed a powerless Merlin, so that doesn't count for anything.

2. Power, speed, knowledge and versatility and even ability are very important to consider and I agree with that. However we run into the issue that some are a mixture of things. And this is the best that we can discuss and make many different lists for. (I'll do in my next post).

3. Rumple/ Pan, it's a game of feats and Pan sorely lacks them. That's the issue with that. Rumple isn't much better in feats, but he has the quality that Pan does not. Pan has displayed impressive feats though. Apart from beating Runple twice, he was also durable enough to shrug off Runples sleeping spell that affected the rest of the lost boys.

Again, not convinced Runple was stronger. Tell me what feat Pan has. He doesn't do anything superior to anyone really. Magically resistant, maybe, but nothing much more. Pan never beat Rumple. He tricked Rumple and then he tossed a powerless Rumple. I mean Rumple ended up killing Pan with little to no resistance.

Pan might have even had greater base power, but he surely didn't know how to effectively use it. If Rumple is stronger, his magic should have put him to sleep, that is simple logic there, it did not. Yes Rumple did kill him eventually, because the plot required it. But need I remind you that just before that happened, Pan froze the whole group of protagonists (including Regina and Emma). It's clear he's very powerful even if the show didn't display much feats from him. Rumple did something similar. I would say that Pan is stronger than Rumple but then the show jumped its powerscale-thing it does. We can just agree to disagree. I think he was just a temporary powerful being that had power, but no skill.
