I also don't think Deucalion is stronger/more powerful then Scott because he made him run and didn't hear from him since plus Deuc looked more shocked then Derek or Jennifer once Scott crossed moutain ash. Yea but scott already stated he can't do it again and that it almost killed him. Also it could be that crossing the moutain was just like becoming a true alpha. force of will rather than actual strength I don't remember Scott or anyone saying he can't do it again. 😎 What Sean said.

As far as I know/remeber, Scott never said anything about not being able to do it again. In fact, the last time he tried, he said "C'mon, I did this before!" or something to that effect. The reason he couldn't do it then was because Theo was giving him Wolfsbane poisoning via the inhaler.

As far as Scott being Beta-level in strength, it's pretty much laid out in the plot. Scott suddenly became an Alpha and couldn't control his new strength. It's why he always saw himself "wolf out" during 3b, when it's revealed what their fake-death actually did to them. When he fought Kincaid, he has the eyes of an Alpha, but again, he can't control the strength, which is why Kincaid was taunting him. "You're an Alpha, but where's your strength," or something like that.

During Season 4, he was evolving, which is why there were more moments of him withstanding things that a Beta wouldn't be able to (that Orphan's hotwire necklace thing, for example). In fact, when Kira put him in a near-death state, his subconcious was even telling him that he was evolving. Then there's the scene where he's fighting the hunters, and he's "wolfing out" on one of them. His face starts turning grey, his eyes get darker, etc., until he stops and returns to normal. Finally, skip to Peter in Mexico, and as soon as he threatens Scott's pack, Scott gives Peter a royal thrashing. At this point, he gains control over his Alpha strength. In this season, it's implied that, at least for a True Alpha, there's a period of evolution they need to go through before they gain some of the perks of an Alpha. Whether or not he has an "Alpha/monster wolf" shift or not, remains to be seen.

In season 5a, Scott's asthma returns for some reason and Theo uses it as a chance to slip wolfsbane into Scott's lungs, weakening him for the majority of the time. When he tries to break the Mountain Ash barrier, he can't because he's been weakened the entire time. When he fights Liam, he loses because... he's been weakened and Liam's stronger than a normal Beta on a good day anyway. Then he dies and is brought back, which has weakened him significantly, seeing as his wound has yet to finish healing and he passed out in his hallway.

But on topic: Deucalion has more experience with his Alpha powers, has gained enough power to be called the "Demon Wolf," and led a pack entirely of Alphas when he was blind. He's been an Alpha for years, maybe even a decade or two (I'm not sure how long it's been since the Hale fire, or when he was first blinded, sorry), whereas Scott's been an Alpha for a year, and only got control of his strength a couple months after that. Deucalion has the upper hand until Scott fully masters his True Alpha powers and stops being a sucker for the ol' "Wolfsbane-in-the-inhaler" trick.
