I'm thinking sort of a hulk like strength but rather than being determined by his anger levels it is determined by his force of will. I don't think the writers will sign him a blank cheque power-wise but I will be interested to see if there are any extra powers associated with being a true alpha (working off the assumption that scott manages to navigate through whatever tricks Duceleon has up his sleave).

Sorry to carry on taking this thread off topic but I think I'm starting to see how the writers have finally figured out a way to explain away the lack of fully formed alphas since season 1 (which was originally due to budget reasons). I think they are hinting towards full wolf form alphas being a uniquely Hale thing, or atleast a uniquely born werewolf thing, however it is kept pure by ensuring they stick to the natural line of succession for Alphas. Talia was the Alpha and had full wolf form. Laura inherited the Alpha ability from her mother naturally when she died and could also change into full wolf form, However Peter was not the natural succesor and achieved Alpha status by killing the previous Alpha hence dilluting the pure wolf form, resulting in the man wolf monstrosity we saw in season 1, and since Derek stole alpha powers from him it has been further dilluted to the point where Derek can't take a form that resembles a wolf very much at all.

I hope these aren't just mad ramblings but it seems like that would be a good way to explain why we haven't seen any full form alphas basically throughout season 2 and so far in season 3 until the previous episode. Although they might just go down the much easier route of it depends on the wolf
