ROT and DOE Bane are strong enough to carry team Bane to victory.

I think Maul at his best is probably strong enough to kill PoD after a decent fight while the stronger incarnations are tied up. With Vader drawing the aggro and Maul running some interference Dooku might be able to fry RoT.

I don't think Dooku's lightning is powerful enough to **** up Bane that badly.

POD Bane would be wasted by any of the fighters above, they're all significantly more skilled, have better force feats, and are on levels of swordsmanship that make him look lolworthy.
ROT Bane and DOE Bane would fare better, granted even then Bane could probably struggle majorly and kill Maul but he isn't going to kill Vader or Dooku. Vader's TK transcends Bane by a significant margin, and Dooku is a superior duelist so DOE Bane will be taken out by either.
Orbalisk Bane is undoubtedly less skilled than either, and his armor may prove to be difficult but between titans like Vader and Dooku I don't see him winning.

Dooku's lightning has killed Anzati assassins instantaneously, and smashed through barriers and pillars iirc.
Bane will be stunned at the very least if hit, that's not even counting the fact that his amp won't be enough to take out on its own. This also is discounting the fact that DOE Bane will fail to kill Vader. It would be two versus one and baldy would go down hard.

and Bane's lightning has disintegrated people (a feat equally applicable for DOE Bane in case it comes up).
I'm afraid I disagree with you on this one.

Well firstly, Bane won't be hit. Hes a lot more powerful than Dooku, faster and can block his lightning with his lightsaber. If AotC Kenobi can do it, so can Bane. Dooku will be taken out with lightning if anything.
Take out what on its own?
Nope. DoE Bane would beat Vader. He's well above him in lightsaber combat and his TK and lightning can overwhelm him as well.
Bane was still annoyed by the sting of their force pikes, Dooku's lightning feat is immeasurably more powerful than their force pikes.
Dooku has fought as indescribably fast (unamped), kept up with a younger and faster Anakin, and has casually fought Anakin and Kenobi (who couldn't see his movements) simultaneously. He's much faster than Bane, and Bane's strength won't be enough to close the gap. Dooku withstood Anakin's offense which was described as a meteor strike, and Anakin was unamped whereas Bane has had amps in most every significant feat.
None of Bane's TK feats beat Vader at his apex. Try again. Vader can soak up Bane's lightning with a saber, and even if he's struck he's successfully rebuffed a guy's lightning which disintegrates Stormtroopers. He isn't going to die by Bane's lightning, be injured yes, but Vader has fought while dismembered Bane's lightning won't be the end of him.
Vader and Dooku are too skilled, too fast, and too powerful for him alone

I think POD Bane probably has a good chance of soloing this. He's demonstrated enough that it's by no means inconceivable that he takes out Maul immediately with the Force, and then takes on Vader and Dooku simultaneously and slowly manages to pick them apart and take one out, where he then defeats the last man standing convincingly.
All three versions of Bane and his superior incarnations? Team of Banes completely stomp.

Any proof to back up that claim... both kill on contact, and Bane was hit with more than one pike at the same time. I'm not really seeing much of a discrepancy here. And as somebody already said, he could just block it with his lightsaber.
ROT Bane has been described as being akin to wielding a dozen blades at once, and has a strike speed of around thirty strikes a second, which is above Grievous's. ROT Bane is also significantly faster than POD Bane who could move too fast for a room of force sensitives to see. I'm not quite seeing how Dooku is faster.
Funny how you think Vader could block Bane's lightning with his saber, but Bane couldn't do likewise to Dooku.
Bane's lightning has also disintegrated people, and I hardly call what happened at the end of TFU II to be "successfully rebutting."

Excellent counter argument!

Lolwut? Bane was protected by his cute Orbalisk armor. Not to mention amped, enraged, and fully protected. He was in no danger of dying at all. You're asking me to prove a negative in a hypothetical thread, but even then Dooku's killing assassins proves that it at least has some potency. Bane isn't going to shrug it off if he even got annoyed by pricking of mere force pikes.
He did so while amped due to the orbalisk armor, nothing in DOE suggests he could replicate the same feat. Try again. Dooku's speed feats are more abundant, and he has fought two fighters with speed that is at least equivalent if not outright superior to baldy.
I never said he couldn't deflect Dooku's lightning lol. But seeing how Bane is retarded and blinded by rage when storming about in his cute armor, he wasn't even smart enough to deflect half a dozen saber strikes by Raskta. His awareness is shit.
