#Nicholas White
I don’t see why not, man. The Stick was used twice in the fight, the first time Nick was sneaked on by the Siegbarste cop and shot in the back and later, when he overpowered another cop in a fight where both had weapons and the guy was fully woged, Nick came for the killing blow when dude pulled a gun from one of the corpses and shot him. He was taken by surprise on both accounts, even Eve was screwed by the surprise factor when Bonaparte revealed he was a Zauberbiest.
One way or another, before he was shot the first time, Nick still managed to gun down nine Black Claws I could count and kill three more in a fist fight, one of them looked like a Löwen, another like a Gelumcaedus or Skalenzahne and the last like a Balam. That’s still 12 kills on his own without any healing from the Stick – that’s a big, fat feat here.
But is really fair to not consider a feat of his after the first heal? Rewatch the fight if you wish and you’ll see the first cop shot Nick when he just killed a BC barehanded and didn’t even had time to look away from the dead guy – he was shot literally a second after the kill. Are you going to say Bonaparte was weaker than Renard because he stabbed him on the back? Or Monroe could take on Oleg Stark because he sneaked a shot on the guy with the gun for hunting Siegbarstes?
Then, before Nick heals properly from being shot in the back, he throws a dagger with enough speed and force to kill a Siegbarste who wasn’t woged, heals and goes on to kill another armed BC with just an ax, kills yet another and fights the second cop after he manages to avoid being shot when the guy alerts him after missing his first shots, disarms him and is hit by a pistol he didn’t expect him to use when he was already halfway through the finishing strike.
Another important thing to keep in mind here, Nick did all of this without using his super-hearing or zombie mode. His super-hearing could probably have alerted him to the first cop sneaking, while the zombie mode allowed him to curbstomp against a woged Renard and Monroe, and Hank at once (just compare how woged!Renard managed to throw Nick through a window, but was manhandled in a 3x1 against him as a zombie, the difference is visible) and in the last episode, beat the crap out of a Grimm like Trubel.
So yeah, he’s definitely below the likes of Diana (who isn’t?), the Zerstörer, Eve, Bonaparte, even Elizabeth from the little we saw, but generally, Nick and most Grimms can kill 90% of the things in the show on their own and the remaining 10% (monsters like the Golem, Volcanalis, Excandesco, Matança Zumbido, strongest Hexenbiests) with due preparation. After all, Grimms aren’t fighters – they are hunters, and hunters are always opportunistic killers, that’s what make beasts like lions truly dangerous to stronger animals like bisons, they ain’t fighting fair, but even if they do, they can still pack a good punch.
At least, that's my two cents.
Quote: Okay I am out. I hope to the heavens you aren't trying to use the loft fight in which Nick only survived thanks to the Stick.
