Darth Malak vs. Darth Maul

if you think its impressive to defeat a bounty hunter, I would hate to hear what you think about Revan or the Exile, killing sith lords and jedi. Or for that matter, Malak. Malak killed jedi with no problem, and jedi are a bit harder than a bounty hunter, he also had no problem deflecting bolts fired by Carth on the Levithan from about 8 feet away, probably closer than Maul was. And about Maul running fast, watch the start of TPM again, where Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan deflect the destroyer driod bolts and then run away so fast you can't see them, its a basic, padawan move, not something that only a sith lord learns.

Hey, I'm not saying Malak was weak, I just think Maul is a little stronger. I don't think you give bounty hunters enough credit. After all Jango for instance killed at least 1, had another at his mercy (trained by Count Dooku even), and defeated Obi-Wan. Besides, you said Malak killed jedi with no problem but Maul did too. He killed 3 and had another at his mercy. Besides Maul was wounded shortly before his fight with Qui-Gon on Tatooine. And when Maul was deflecting the blasts he was in point blank range, even closer than Carth and Malak and she just moved her hand close to her rocket and all of a sudden there were big holes in the walls where Maul had just gone through, and then she hit the button. That's way faster than Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.
Anyway, I'm just trying to let people know more of Maul's accomplishments, I think the battle would be really close.

Jango did not ever defeat Obi Wan. Obi Wan was first off, trying to capture the bounty hunter. Secondly, if hsi son hadn't fired the ship's laser on Obi, Jango might not have made it to the arena.

And bounty hunters may seem incredible, but we're talking Jedi here. Or Sith, even. They're what you would call superior.

Very good points, but it still would have been a close fight even without Boba's help. On a side note, I read in the Star Wars timeline that in a story called Ressurection from Star Wars tales #9 that a clone of Maul fought Vader. Vader battles the Maul clone being taunted all the while. Finally, when it seems Vader is about to be defeated, he pulls his lightsaber to him and ignites it, cutting through his own metal body into Maul behind him. Maul is dead once again.

Now Vader was definitely stronger than Malak and Maul must be pretty strong to compete with Vader like that. I know this isn't the best support, but I think it does help a little bit.

malak would win

I don't think Vader is stronger than Malak. Anakin in ROTS, yes. Vader? Uh uh.

well, I'm just saying that Malak lost badly to Count Dooku in a versus thread and Count Dooku lost badly to Vader.

Dooku lost badly to the RotS Vader, pre-suit, I consider him and ESB Vader basically two different people in the same body if that makes sense. RotS Vader would whip anyone, ESB Vader would beat most knights and padawans, but would lose to most masters. Actually he would likely lose to some knights as well, when you watch the duel you see Luke actually hits his shoulder, wounding him. So ESB and RotJ Vader is actually not that great.
And Maul, he had the potential to beat Malak, but he was only 20 and hadn't been in near as many battles and such as Malak had. Malak had far more experience, which would help lead him to victory.
Also about the versus comics, personally I don't have alot of faith in them, some of the things are just impossible, for example, Boba Fett wounding Vader, no matter how weak Vader is, he is still the chosen one, killer of the jedi, Fett could not wound him even if he is the best bounty hunter and has killed other jedi.

Maul is winning...I don't believe this....

Well, a lot of people probably voted first, saw Maul, recognized him. Saw Malak... didn't like him/didn't recognize him. A fair poll would be one where we would all discuss it for a few days and then vote.

but still, Maul winning 🤪

yeah my thoughts exactly....poor malak so underappreciated

I think Maul is better than everyone thinks, but the more I think about it, his overconfidence would allow Malak to kick his ass

i hate how, because maul was overconfident at one instance.....it immediately becomes his undisputed overall trait.

Well, it is a serious trait. I don't know many overconfident soldiers from major wars, do you? Living, that is?

I sort of agree with jackstain even though he's kind of wrong. From the movies, yeah that was his only mistake. However, in Shadow Hunter he was so focused on trying to kill the Jedi Master that he almost didn't realize that he was going to try to blow them both up. Maul just barely got out alive. Also Maul didn't even notice that Lorn Pavan had encased himself in carbonite. Maul's obsession of killing Jedi is so strong that it is a weakness.

An excellent point to bring up whereever Maul's name is mentioned on this forum.

truu truu...i agree with u guys, but cmon, hes still amazing. 💃

He is a badass. I won't doubt that.

Malak wins hands down. He had to be very powerful because Revan choose him as his apprentice even thought he had hundreds, maybe thousands of corrupted Jedi to choose from.
