Darth Revan vs. Sidious at peak

I'm making this thread simply to prove a point... as I have heard, from the unwritten laws of the sith, they always have the rule of two... master and apprentice... and when the apprentice becomes stronger than the master, then he succeeds him and the apprentice takes the masters place... If this is true, then that means the sith get progressively stronger, making Sidious the strongest sith ever... I think thats pretty solid evidence, don't you?

I think that's pretty ridiculous. Sidious himself killed his master Plageus before he ever knew all his techniques. Also, Maul, Vader, and Dooku were all more or less inferior to Sidious, which disrupts that theory entirely.

hmmmm... true... but they were never ment to succeed him... and that is off the point... I'm talking about all the sith before Sidious

Except that the Ancient Sith and individuals like Freedon and Exar would pwn even DE Sidious.

However, I'm damn certain DE Sidious would beat Revan. Revan's not quite up there.

That still doesn't follow. Ragnos was greater than Sadow or Ludo, his heirs. Freedan Nadd lorded over Kun until Kun had an amulet. And keep in mind this is a spirit. Kun's default apprentice was Ulic, but Ulic was a ***** compared to Exar Kun. Malak was never greater than Revan, even though he tried to usurp power. Sith are meant to take power when they can, but this doesn't mean that they are neccessarily more powerful.

But when the knew Sith order was formed, then that offset alot of things, and there were time periods without living sith.

Freedon Nadd didn't "lord" over Kun, he helped him become DLOTS to a certain extent.

He did 'lord' over Kun for quite some time. He pretty much toyed with Kun's life and made Kun embrace the darkside. I consider that 'lording'. He wasn't helping just to be an altruistic dark sider.

it is interesting where one question can lead a debate isn't it?

That's the nature of the game, yes.

He was trying to help Kun, because he didn't want the Sith to die.

But he was doing it selfishly. And he was manipulating Kun, ergo, he was lording over him.

He did that so he could get a new body. Granted, he lorded over an Exar who hadn't yet embraced the dark side and was nowhere near realizing his full potential, but he was still very impressive. Also, he himself says that a body would make him far more powerful. I'm not quite sure who would win out of a versus between Nadd and Exar, but I won't argue for either given the evidence.

Erm, no. You're saying that the newer the Sith lord the better? Then I suppose you can justify the ersatz fact that Sidious could beat Marka Ragnos?

Since Sidious only followed the rule of two set down by Bane and his line, that means Sidious only has the potential to be more powerful than these guys, not the Ancients, not Nadd, Kun, or Revan. Bane's buddies only.

And like Janus said, Sidious killed Plagueis when he still didn't know all of his master's powers. He saw an oppurtunity for power, and took it.

He killed him in his sleep too.

yes... as I had proved to me in an earlyer post...
