Thank you Slash. Kun invented the double-bladed Lightsaber and killed his master in a duel in the senate with it (all confirmed canon) And before that, Kun was a very skilled Jedi Knight who had mastered the art of fighting with two lightsabers. He led a war against the Jedi and would return thousands of years later when he possessed Kyp Durron and turned him into Mr. Genocide. The rest of the New Jedi Order united and destroyed Kun for good.

Can you tell me how Exar Kun compares to Bane, Caedus, and Starkiller as a swordsman, scholar, and Force-user?
Kun and Marek weren't scholars. I don't think Kun compares to Bane and Caedus in sabers, and he's somewhere up there in the force. However, we've seen more impressive feats from both Caedus and Bane.

I'm going to call Exar Kun a relative unknown and move to halt his use in VS. threads until further notice.
Except for the fact that Kun is not unknown AT ALL seeing as he has numerous feats to his name.

Terrific. So one of you can tell me specifically how Exar Kun compares to Bane, Caedus, and Starkiller as a swordsman, scholar, and Force-user.
Swordsman- Very good. Was equal to Ulic Qel-Droma, defeated his master (the Yoda of his era) twice.
I'd say better than Bane, on par with the other two.
Scholar- Very good. Obsessed with studying Sith lore. Learned Sith alchemy and Sorcery.
I'd say better than Bane (who was useless at Sorcery), much better than Starkiller, not quite as good as Caedus.
Force-user- Very powerful. Psychically froze thousands of beings, drained the life-force of an enslaved race. Mentally influenced Kyp Durron across millions of light years, was able to observe events in distant star systems while supposedly trapped inside a temple etc
I'd say more powerful than Bane and Starkiller, and Caedus.

Kun was a scholar actually. He turned to the dark side because of his fascination with Sith lore. He studied Sith Sorcery and alchemy.

Think again.

Have either of them frozen thousands of people with their minds?

Actually C'Baoth did that with an entire Imperial Fleet. Guess he's a Force God.

How does this make sense? Bane defeated one of the best lightsaber combatants in the SW mythos within a year or two of him learning how to use a blade. Kun doesn't compare.
You do know, don't you, that Bane won that fight only by using the Force to collapse a stone temple on top of Kas'im (and was only able to do that because Kas'im stopped fighting to make a little speech). Bane admitted he couldn't win blade-to-blade.

His obsession is irrelevant. Kun wasn't a scholar. Palpatine was a scholar, Revan was a scholar, Bane was a scholar.
He studied Sith lore and learned how to use Sith Sorcery and alchemy. That makes him a scholar.

His sith spell didn't affect force users. Nothing he has done makes him more powerful than those 3.
Big deal. It still affected thousands of 'mundane' beings. Could Bane do that? Nope.
Not to mention-
"drained the life-force of an enslaved race. Mentally influenced Kyp Durron across millions of light years, was able to observe events in distant star systems while supposedly trapped inside a temple etc"
Interesting how you completely ignore these.
Nothing Bane or Caedus has done is anywhere as good.

We're not talking about C'Baoth.
