I think Maul is better,he looks much cooler and is more skilled and powerful,he beat both Qui-Gon and Obi really,its just Obi got lucky with the force and killed Maul,also Maul has a Double-Bladed lightsaber which is another point he is more skilled.My opinion,Mauls better than mechanical and human Vader.
ive seen some images of one of these comics but can anyone tell me the exact issues? as for the fight, i think maul is a better pure fighter, if it was sabers and nothing else maul would probably win, but vader would use the force a fair bit, keep mauls focus on the environment like luke in esb, that would give him enough of an edge to overpower maul and take the win.
Okay, lets get things straight, Sidious wouldn't have kept Vader around if he sucked. Vader was very, very, third time for emphasis,very powerful, but Sidious got in his head and made Vader think that Vader needed Sidious, so he didn't betray Sidious. He might have tried in ESB, but he could have been lying to Luke to get him to come with him to the Emperor. Vader would beat Maul with the force alone.

In a sheer Lightsaber match : Maul force battle: Vader
Ok, many of you are basing maul on the fact he lost to a Padawan who was filled with intense rage, however, Anakin originally was losing to Dooku, as wel Obi wan didnt stand much of a chance, BUT when dooku managed to flare up anger in Anakin, Dooku got both his hands sliced off, whereas this proves that when obi wan was angered, it doesnt mean that Maul is weaker than Obi Wan.
Another point is, if you think Padawan obi wan could smash maul, wouldn't logic dictate that padawan obi wan would also beat Qui Gon? I dont think, a revered Jedi master would be easily bested by his own apprentice...
Ok on a logical sense
Dooku beat Obi wan
Anakin beat Dooku
Obi Wan beat Anakin...
Same sense as
Maul beat Qui Gon
Obi Wan beat Maul
but if you consider both, you can see that on both occasions, the weaker won, due to extreme rage and anger...
Thereby, i believe that Maul whilst would lose in a raw force battle, would prevail in a Saber fight.
Whatever, as long as this thread is back, I would like to say that Maul won the fight between him and Obi-Wan. Maybe I was the only one to notice that Obi-Wan was hanging on for dear life while Maul was creating sparks with his lightsaber for fun. The only reason Maul died was because he let his guard down. He let his guard down because he won the fight. So again, I say Maul would beat OT Vader but would lose to pre-suit ROTS Vader.
