Yes, Star Wars The Ultimate Visual Guide reveals that even the most powerful Jedi struggle against containing Sith lightning bursts with their own power.
Revan tanked one of the most impressive bursts of Sith lightning in the mythos, he undoubtedly packs immense raw power. Heck, he send a godlike being packing with a blast of power which is also a confirmation of Revan packing immense raw power and mastery over TK abilities. Bane is clearly outmatched here.
Bane was on safe distance at this point which also helped.
Bane tanked his own lightning which reduced beast riders to dust while amped by his orbalisks. Also there is no evidence that Nyriss's lightning bursts (while potent) are "one of the most impressive int he mythos". The level of hyperbole in that post is hilarious.

Difference is that Krayt did it to weaker lightning in worse condition than Revan, and Revan actually absorbed it first whereas Krayt just deflected it like Dooku did to his own lightning in AOTC:
Bane barely survived his own blast. If Zannah haven't attempted to save his life, Bane would have perished.
And Nyriss demonstrated great proficiency in the application of Sith lightning. Her normal casts were potent enough to reduce normal humans to ash and her signature casts were potent enough to reduce even Jedi/Sith level opponents to ash.

I disagree. Revan's mass precognition should be able to fight on pair with Bane's incredible speed. And then in terms of pure dueling abilities, I honestly doubt Mandalore is that far from Raskta Lsu in strength (Bane's best kill). Mandalore smacked a Jedi Malak on his ass in one swing. This is the Malak which is referred to the second best Jedi of his age, behind Revan, during the age of when the Jedi are even more in their prime then the Clone Wars.

Raskta Lsu is referred to as the best duelist in a much weaker era, and the fact that Mandalore stood "no match" against Revan in "single combat", you can see what I'm going at. Revan should be able to smack down Lsu faster then Bane did. Must I even mention Revan is famous for how he slaughtered so many Echani (Lsu is an Echani)?
Revan takes this, but it will be bloody. Also the scan of the quote you keep debating about : (please log in to view the image)

Nope. Its as Tempest put it. You need mastery to even be capable of wielding that raw power. Anakin has way more raw power than Yoda, but can't wield a fraction of it and is outstripped by Yoda in Force ability. Just because Revan can harness his power in great ways in a certain technique doesn't mean he can in others. For example Maul has powerful TK powers, but he's never even demonstrated Force Lightning. Bane has extremely powerful lightning, but hasn't demonstrated advanced ability with telepathy.
You do know that you're claiming what I am with different words, yes?
You're using Revan being extremely powerful in one aspect of the Force as proof of him being extremely powerful in another aspect. That doesn't work.
Nope. Bane can incinerate 4 people with a single blast of lightning, turn Drexyls to charred husks, melt blasters, pulp skeletons, utterly dominate Sith Lords and disintegrate metal. Also as Astor said, Bane absorbed the lightning of dozens of Sith Lords in PoD.
Heh, then that makes Darth Nox's feat of literally backhanding away Thanatons lightning all the more impressive.
This argument would work if Anakin reached all of his potential. He never did, which is why Yoda is not only more masterful than him, but also more powerful.
No, I'm saying that his raw Force power transcends Bane's.
What, these feats compare to what Revan did? lol
Nexus + orbalisk feat.
Good for him.

You said that Banes feats suggest Revan is more powerful than him. So I posted his feats. I'm not saying that they make him better in other aspects of the Force that those I listed, but by listing his feats in various aspects I am rebutting your point. Try again, Intrepi-chan.
Good point, Bane is the better swordsman and is more powerful. So he should beat Revan much easier than he was beating Kas'im. Bane is significantly faster and stronger than Revan is and has better lightsaber skill.
Cutting down a Jedi-level opponent with ease isn't that impressive. Satele cuts down 3 Sith in a row in the Hope trailer alone.
Um, ok. I don't think you'd need to be to beat Revan in a TK battle.
Vitiate was distracted and was focusing much of his power to dominating Revan.
With Kas'im, it was a Force Wave, meaning that Kas'im only got hit by a small portion of the wave. And that was just PoD Bane.
Remember that Bane learned everything from Revan's holocron plus Freedon Nadds and a few others.
Hahaha, no Bane is very much in Revans league if not higher. In fact, there is no if, he just is better than Revan.
Actually Karpyshan himself indicates Bane and Revan are equal.
Precognition isn't that useful if you're too slow to actually do anything with it. Knowing where Bane will strike doesn't mean that Revan would be fast enough to put his lightsaber in the way before Bane cuts him down.
Bane didn't actually kill Raskta, Zannah stabbed her in the back.
Also lmao @ Mandalore being as good as Raskta..
That was Jedi Malak before the Mandalorian Wars even started. He was nowhere near his peak. That Malak also got beaten by Jareal in training, he was a total assclown.
Gee, maybe it was because Revan had the Force and Mandalore had an axe. Just a suggestion.
Despite being not nearly as fast as Bane is? Also, Raskta was amped by Battle Meditation at the time.
Defeating non-force sensitive Echani doesn't even compare to defeating a Jedi Master Echani.
No. Bane would demolish Revan in a lightsaber fight.
