Derek's ultimate storyline is that he endures. That is what Jeff Davis said. Whatever is thrown at him - whether it's loss of family members, hunters trying to kill him, alpha packs, crazy girlfiends, kanimas, werejaguars, bezerkers, betrayal...he's gone through hell and back but he keeps moving forward. He could have chosen an easy way out - leave Beacon Hills for good and never deal with this supernatural stuff again. But he stayed and helped protect his friends and allies. So whether or not Derek is physically stronger than peter or scott or whomever is irrelevant. He is strong in his own right and incredibly resilient and that is what makes him special.
