Well you can't just tell that someone is more powerful than another character, it really depends:

Regina is better at casting spells than Emma, but Emma is more powerful. Zelena is good at both.

Rumple has the power of all the dark ones, but he is very easy to weaken if you just have Belle's destiny in your hands.

Hyde is immune to magic (at least most of it), but he gets owned by a stupid taser used by Mary Margaret on top of that.

I agree gods are stronger, but it really dépends on the context. Hades was the most powerful of all, but when Zelena got the crystal in her hands, he was screwed.

So I don't think we can really be general in that, because there are so many factors to consider.
