I just copied it from TFN so it may have a few mistakes. Also it's quite clear that Vader was faking there as he effortlessly killed the enraged Jedi afterwards.
Not to get too far off subject, but no way was Vader "faking there" as he was at Swan's mercy (without a sword arm mind you). Because he trashed the idiot who betrayed Swan means absolutely nothing. Swan =/= the idiot Jedi traitor.

Eh no. He was clearly faking. Notice how he is pleading for his life here yet when the Jedi truly gain an advantage (the end of the comic) he refuses to give in. And yes, the fact that he trashed the other Jedi does mean something as it shows he was far from defeated.
He simply waited for a distraction (the slaying of Bultar Swan) so that he would have an opportunity to strike. Had Swan chosen to deliver the killing strike, it would have been over. Swan was a very skilled Jedi and could give Vader enough trouble on her own. Once she was eliminated, the other Jedi were screwed.

Where are you getting this nonsesne? First, where the idea that Swan could have even had a killing stroke come from? When we have the panel with Vader saying "I surrender!" Swan seems to be some distance off, furthermore in the time it took the other Jedi to charge the same distance Vader managed to kill him with the sword/arm. Second, where do you get the idea that Swan could give Vader trouble on her own? All she did was somewhat damage his leg after his back was slightly damaged and his hand was cut off. And finally, where does the wonrg idea that the other Jedi were crewed come from? Hell those "other Jedi" gain an advantage over Vader once Swan is dead.

I'm sorry I know this quote is lame but it just popped up in my mind when you (axel jovan in pg.2) said that. What I found was more fitting is the fact your avatar is Obi-Wan-Kenobi.
Back on subject,
Considering Darth Maul would've defeated Darth Vader, if it wasn't for his cockiness, and that he would've defeated Obi-Wan-Kenobi and Qui-Gonn-Jinn, I'd say he win.
I state this simply because I don't think AotC Anakin could even attempt at trying to beat Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. And I know some people would say, "If what you say is true, then how come AotC Anakin was able to hold off Dooku when Maul would probably be toyed around with?".
The answer is simply emotion, Anakin probably didn't want to see another of his "fatherly" like mentors to die (since Anakin had more emotional attachment than other padawans). So he unleashed his emotion into the fight, which made him fight with more intensity, (which Dooku probably hadn't anticipated) this allowed him to NOT be totally thrashed and dominated to a superior Dooku.
Maul wouldn't utterly and entirely trash Anakin. AotC Anakin has more raw power than TPM Kenobi did, and isn't exactly lacking in technical skill. Maul would win, but it's not going to be a WTFOMFG stomp.
