Juliette and Adalind are made hexenbiests and Elizabeth is powerful enough to not only work for the royals but powerful enough to catch a royals eye and win his affection. Adalind before power restoral and Catherine are what we would consider to be average amongst hexenbiests, stong enough to be useful but weak enough that the royals didn't enlist them. They demonstrated none of the abilities you described. I want to fangirl all over hexenbiests too but reallisticly, Grimms can kill them. Its their job. Kelly killed Catherine. Just as Nick could not physically confront the devil-like wesen because of the flames, so too does he have difficulties against hexenbiests, but his blood power establishes him a naturally superior.

It is unlikely that a wesen-centric organization would entrust an ordinary person, a single man, to recover Adalind and her baby. He wouldn't even be able to anticipate attacks if he can't see the woge. For instance, if he encountered an enemy hexenbiest, he wouldn't be able to identify her as such unless she allowed it, and resultantly could not prepare to deal with her. Between quills, scorpion tails, psychic powers, fire breathing, and the like, the ability to recognize your enemy is vital. You forget about Frau Pech, and now you have Diana. Henrietta showed Nick mind control abililty. But like anything there are degrees of strength and ability. to judge the Nick and Adalind fight you have to consider she did not want to kill him. When he pinned her down, like Juliette Adalind could have blown his head off. She showed that ability after they took Diana.

If wesenrein showed us anything it showed, you know about wesen they don't have that much of and advantage. Sure they have claws and fangs, but a 45 even the playing field. Even in "bad moon rising" once Hank knew no problem. Yes wesen are stronger then the average person. But Meisner is a trained fighter who is also stronger then and average person.
