Which means to me that age size and experience doesn't mean that much when it comes to the power gap between Alphas and Betas. Yeah. I get that beta's could never touch an alpha without an advantage, if the power gap is that large... but I think that's okay.

Not that it is canon, but I've always been under the impression that beta's don't take the alpha status fairly. Examples:


 * Derek and Scott teaming up against Peter in Season 1 (and STILL barely pulling it off).


 * The twin's taking it due to their merging ability.


 * Deucalion's beta attacking him only after he'd been blinded.

I mean, I just can't think of a fair fight between a beta and a alpha where the beta come out on top.

PLEASE, remind me if there is one I have forgotten.
