I use Kelly as a great example. She is freakishly fast and quiet even though she's much older than Nick. If we believe Nick picked up a few extra gifts from various Wesen interaction, it follows that Kelly and other Grimms have also done so. I would like to see the Grimm writers add more of these little details into the show. It gives Nick a different sort of development...part physical and part character.
Most of the other scenarios you two have described have "been there, done that, got several t-shirts" from other shows.
With all due respect, the creative scenario you've put forward above is pretty much "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" all over again, with Nick/Kelly substituting for Buffy. In other words, "been there done that."
Look, to be blunt...I feel Nick is just boring. It's hard for me to say whether this is a fault of the writers or the actor (or both), but for the most part, he's been the square-jawed "hunky" lead we've all seen on a dozen police procedural shows. Ironically, it's been the supporting characters (Monroe, Wu, and most recently Juliette) who have proved to be far more watchable than the show's hero.
The story ideas I've tossed around here have just been amateurish attempts on my part to make Nick a little more...I don't know...interesting. It doesn't have to involve the character turning into a Wesen, but making Nick increasingly powerful by "absorbing" powers from other Wesen to the point where the audience can't relate to him any more also presents a dramatic hurdle.
