Initially it wasn't canon, but then they said it was, and it's stuck since then. It was either Darth Maul resurrected, or a clone, or something. No one knows.

You have proof that he can, then, I suppose? He can already resist Force Lightning that we know of. And he's incredibly fast - there's no reason he wouldn't be able to avoid it.

Yeah, I am suggesting Maul > Vader in a battle.He almost killed him, and would have had it not been for his arrogance. Maul's much quicker than Vader (Mr. I Never Run). He wouldn't allow such objects to hit him.
wasn't it a clone of Darth Maul that almost killed Vader? If so, then we can't use that instance in this thread. If someone is a clone of Micheal Jordan, it DOES NOT make them a basketball player, how that person lives decides. We could have a Darth maul's clone vs Vader thread, but they are not the same.

His arrogance really is all this comes down to. Here is the screenplay scenario.
Maul: "wtf? no wai ur a n00b apprentice to an apprentice video game character. I'm so gonna own you."
Galen: "Nuh uh. i curbstomped vader. And vader curbstomped you. A>B>C."
Maul: "KMC says that that doesn't work. and I resisted the lightning of a no name witch from that one comic book, so i can survive anything you throw at me."
Galen: "dude, you think vader didn't have the basic raw beast in him to resist some pathetic body guard's lightning? And I tossed him around like a fricking ragdoll. In the end your going to be like HAHA I BEAT YOU DOWN, then i'm going to flip over you, retrieve my dead master's lightsaber, wait for you to turn around, and then stab you. Everyone knows that's your weakness."
And then it happens that way.
Forcewise, Maul gets the ownage of his life. No explanation needed.
Bladewise, I do not know.
All-out... In the scene from the videogame, Marek completely destroyed Vader at the end of their duel. Unless the novel somehow contradicts this, I just have to believe Marek would be able to take the Zabrak down.

You're right. If it was a clone, the original Darth Maul would've been even better and thus dominate Vader more thoroughly.

Yeah...except for the fact that Vader didn't curbstomp Maul. They were virtually even until Vader managed to cut Maul's saberstaff in two. Then, Maul goes Jar'Kai and proceeds to absolutely outclass him every way possible saber-wise. Vader has to stab himself through the chest - badly crippling and almost killing himself - in order to hit and kill Maul. And during the Jar'Kai incident, Maul had Vader at his mercy. He lost because he was too arrogant and decided to taunt him when he should've just shup up and finish the deal. CIS + PIS = Maul's excuse for losing.

No, he doesn't.
The comic depicts it. The book really contradicts the one-shot that badly?
darth maul was said to be a wizard of the force in his book but we still have no evidenced of how powerful he was in the force so i still have to gave this to starkiller but if this was a lightsaber battle darth maul will take this he has beaten respectual jedi masters that are extremly skilled with a lightsaber.
