I made that post about Lycaon and I'm really glad you like it. And I made him more powerful than normal werewolves because as you said, I was inspired by all the other supernatural TV shows and movies. In the other productions the progenitors of a certain supernatural species are always more powerful because the genes that caused their mutation is pure. Over succesive generations their "descendants" are basically only human hybrids since they got their power through a bite. We can see such examples in Supernatural (their Alphas were much more powerful than the regular critters), Underworld (the two brothers you mentioned) and of course Blade (remember Drake? the original vampire).

In such a case not ever the ones that are born werewolves or vampires (like the Hale family) are not as powerful as the progenitor of their kind since they are not direct descendants of them. Somewhere in their past probably one or more individuals was bitten and turned.

About the True Alphas as descendants of Lycaon ... I only see it in one way: maybe the True Alpha spark comes from Lycaon. But I don't think they would be related as being on the same bloodline as him. I just don't see it.
