Surprise, surprise. . .
1. Bane was the top guy out of 20,000 Sith. There aren't just your average peacetime Sith, these are the brutal guys who have been fighting the Jedi for a thousand years strait. To be the best out of that many is very impressive and an indicatior of huge power. It gets better for Bane though.
Where is it said that he's the most powerful of all the Sith? If that were so, he would have tossed aside Kaan and the others and disbanded the council governing the Brotherhood. He needed the other Sith to lead the Dark forces.
2. Bane was far from his peak when he was the top Sith out of 20,000 of them. After the Battle of Ruusan Bane studied the knowledge that was inside Freedon Nadd's tomb and recieved his biological armor.
Well is this BoR Bane? Or the Orbalisk-buffed one?
And what, studying a bit in Nadd's tomb makes him a god? Has he actually shown himself to be impressive in combat?
This armor was stated as being able to stop any hit from a lightsaber except a solid hit or mutiple hits in the same area. The armor also pumped massive amounts of adrenaline into Bane's veins when necessary.
Akk hounds had blaster, lightsaber, grenade, and missile resistant armored hides. Mace and Depa defeated three mutated ones on Nar Shadaa. The normal hounds were said to have tails strong enough to snap a man in two. They were large enough and strong enough to support fully grown men on their backs and still out-maneuver gunships. Ups.
Think of it like the stim packs from KOTOR 2 times ten. Very powerful. Just a random fact, game stats put Bane's armor as significantly more resistent to damage then even Mandalorian Armor.
Pointless and insignificant.
3. Bane was also able to create some form of force storm that has the power to leave an entire planet barren. Originally he was going to use it to attack the Jedi's Army of the light, which required the other Sith Lords to give him more power so he could do this. The other Sith sensed the fearsome anger in Bane's heart and broke off because they feared how far in the Darkside he was.
Yeah; with the combined assistance and power of dozens of the best Sith in Brotherhood. . .
What has Mace done that can even compare?
Read Shatterpoint. A quick list of Feat Wars. . .
- launched two jabs, a knee to the upper thigh, a palm to the side of the head, and two stright blows to the face in the blink of an eye
- deflected repeating fire from gunships right through the cockpit and body
- supported a giant steamcrawler and held back a landslide at the same time
- created and mastered a form that was called the "deadliest form in existence" by Yoda
I actually haven't finished Shatterpoint yet myself, but Windu's feats in that are impressive, even at the point in the book I've reached.
Please, don't me count me out as one of those people who thinks Mace owns because of Vaapad. But I do believe that he has enough to his name to defeat Bane.

Indeed, Mace in Shatterpoint is pretty badass.
