Arjuna had 4 wives- Draupadi, Subhadra, Chitrangada and Uloopi. The respective sons are: Srutakirti, Abhimanyu, Babhruvahana and Iravan.

The son you mention is most likely Babhruvahana and his maternal grandfather (whose kingdom he inherited) was the King of present day Manipur. He was trained in the martial arts by his step mother, Uloopi, who inspired him to achieve the feats of his father. He could be considered to be even more powerful than Arjuna as he actually kills him in battle (it's linked to a boon that the Vasus obtain from Ganga after Arjuna fatally wounds Bhishma during the war). However, Uloopi arrives after Arjuna's death and revives him with a mystical Naga gem.
