Anyway, what has Bane actually done?
Anyway, what has Bane actually done?
Forcewise, aside from pulling a moon out of orbit, he's done loads. For instance, after just one hour of having learnt how to summon force lightning, he was already able to create miniature storms of said technique, and had pretty much mastered it right away. This was about midway through his training at the BoD, where he's lightyears away from how powerful he becomes in Bane of the Sith, so given how far away he was from how powerful he becomes in BotS, and the fact that he'd only just learned the technique, it's likely he could replicate the feat at full power to a much higher level.
At the end of a long and tiring duel against Kas'im (the greatest swordsman of his age), without even focusing properly, he was able to release an entire wave of darkside energy (most of which hit Kas'im) that was able to collapse an entire 20 story temple near instantaneously. Bane, at this point, is again, far from how powerful he becomes in BotS, which makes it all the more impressive.
He was also able to tool one of the most powerful members of the BoD, Quordis, like he was a child. Members here love to pretend that the BoD wasn't a very special order, and that everyone in it was weak, but that's simply not true, and Quordis himself was extremely impressive. For instance, as you know, most force users who become force spirits are pretty much powerless, yet Quordis, in this state was able to crash Bane's ship. Yet Bane, without even trying, was able to choke him to death like it was nothing. And again, at this point, Bane's still a relative pipsqueak compared to how he is by BotS.
Shortly before the end of PoD, Bane set up a ritual where he gathered all the Dark lords of the Sith, and basically summoned up all of their combined power, controlled it, and directed it. The level of power was pretty insane, strong enough to destroy the entire planet Ruusan yet Bane was still able to control and direct the power, which speaks volumes for his force strength and mastery by this point. And again, Bane's still far from as strong as he becomes in BotS.
You'll notice that I kept on repeating the fact that Bane, during each of those feats, was still nowhere near as powerful as he becomes by BotS, and the thing is, it's entirely true. He literally increases in power tenfold during BotS alone (you've watched the DB series right? Think of how much more powerful Goku gets to before arriving at Namek and fighting the Ginyu - the period where he was trainign at 100X Earth's gravity), after studying from a holocron found in Nadd's tomb, and obtaining the orbalisk armor, which constantly pumped Bane up with darkside energies (which theoretically would give him an infinite supply of force energy to use, based on whether he stored the energy being released). By BotS, Bane's definitely up there, he's just the most hated character at this forum for some reason so pretty much everyone will try and downplay him and pretend he's not very good at all.
