The following versions of Darth Bane will run the following gauntlet individually:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. PoD Darth Bane

2. RoT Darth Bane (w/ Orbalisk Armor)

3. DoE Darth Bane

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warmup: Ffon & Malora

1. Inquisitor Urinth

2. Overseer Tremel

3. Lord Renning

4. Lord Zash

5. Darth Angral

6. Darth Baras (pre-amp, as of the comics)

7. Darth Thanaton

8. Darth Baras w/ Sel-Makor's amp

9. Darth Soverus

10. Darth Marr

Boss: Darth Malgus

Fights take place outside the Sith Academy on Korriban, in the wide open space just outside the entrance. Standard morals and equipment.

Where does each incarnation of Bane stop and why?

S_W_LeGenD
Interesting gauntlet.

Assuming Darth Bane (POD incarnation):

Stops at 4 (if Lord Zash has devised a trap). Otherwise, stops at 5 or 6.

Assuming Darth Bane (w/ Orbalisk Armor):

Stops at 7.

Reason? Orbalisk Armor is a double-edged sword; it has its merits but it is also vulnerable to Force Lightning. Darths Baras and Thanaton are masters of Force Lightning.

Darth Thanaton, in particular, can conjure extremely intense bursts of Force Lightning that a Lightsaber may not be sufficient to contain. Moreover, Darth Thanaton is a master of Sith Sorcery and has command of Force powers or techniques that may bypass Darth Bane's conventional defenses. Bane's loss to Darth Zannah is indicative of his vulnerability to offensive matters of Sith Scorery.

Assuming Darth Bane (DoE incarnation):

Stops at 7.

Reason? Same as above.

Nephthys
1. Stops at boss. Thanaton, Marr and Baras are issues though.

2. Clear

3. Clear

He can potentially clear rounds 2 and 3, though that doesn't necessarily mean he will.

In my opinion, PoD Bane gets downed at amped Baras. Orbalisk Bane falls at Malgus, but DoE Bane clears.

POD dies to Baras
Orbalisk Bane dies to anyone who hits him with powerful lightning
DOE Bane dies to Malgus or possibly Marr

DoE>RoT?

Nephthys
Bane has a lightsaber to block lightning and force defenses. And his orbalisk armor actually protects him from over a million volts. Yeah, if anyone manages to get through all of that he goes down, but so would anyone else.

FreshestSlice
You're right. I forgot that only Bane has Lightning strong enough to hurt Bane. http://r35.imgfast.net/users/3513/11/32/39/smiles/3024136639.gif

Nephthys
You forget much, clod. I was responding to the idea that Orb Bane loses to anyone with strong lightning. It's idiotic.

Deronn_solo
1.Stops at Marr, maybe.
2. Clears.
3. Clears.

Bane isn't beating Malgus for anything.

Deronn_solo
Make an argument then, KEK.

Malgus is probably capable of matching or taking advantage Orbalisk Bane's blunt offensive, and his Lightning could probably seriously hurt Orbalisk Bane's. DoE Bane is likely to be less blunt/unrefined, and he's probably just more skilled than Malgus (not by much, though). And he's probably going to actually try to block the Lightning with his saber, as opposed to Orbalisk Bane probably just trying to tank it.

NewGuy01
You overrate OB's stupidity. He'd still guard against lightning.

He isn't more skilled at all. His only decisive saber victory was against Sirak/fighting evenly with Kas'im, and Malgus has beaten vastly better duelists than either. Zannah doesn't compare to Malgus either.

XSUPREMEXSKILLZ
Soverus is an interesting choice.

It beging to be Hard with our dear Thanaton.. I think that Bane could easly die at Baras (Baras have an instant death sith spell.... It is an hudge winning card)
Bane will never win against Malgus. Malgus will teach him how you use Djem So....

Trocity
1. Baras
2. Clears
3. Malgus
