Don't see why, but whatever

as aforementioned, he was one of the most elite swordsmen in the galaxy at that time, was the dark lord of the sith (of his empire at least) in an order where there are plenty of people vying to usurp your mantle, plus he killed a couple of jedi knights in like 3 seconds (although these are mooks, he did do it in like 3 seconds, force choked them, used the saber throw technique on one, and electrocuted the other i believe)

Edit: and i believe he surpassed sith revan in power, plus he was able to command the star forge, while the only other being able to was revan

Malak isn't fodder. He gave Revan a hard time as per Drew, that's damned impressive considering how Revan fodderized Nyriss.

Malak should be a bit above Nyriss. So probably Malgus level.

and he fodderized nyriss while drugged

how far do u think malak gets yoda, with his wounds healed in btwn each fight?

Edit: srry bout double post

He goes down at 2. PoD Bane is a boss.

I haven't played KotOR in a long time, but I believe in game dialogue confirmed that Malak had surpassed Darth Revan.

As for him being cowardly, he was just killing two birds with one stone. Even Sidious, THE Dark Lord of the Sith, killed Plagueis in his sleep, and no one calls him cowardly.

I'm going to assume this is Malak without the Star Forge. In that case he loses at 2. No way in hell he's beating Kolar or Ventress IMO.

could some1 please re-state PoD Bane's feats? only a few things come to mind, beating sirak, beating kas'im by collapsing part of the temple, and becoming stronger than the scrubs of the brotherhood

IMO thats enough to be above a SCRUB like Malak.

i'll just go ahead and re-state

although i dont agree that malak is on malgus level, not gonna argue about it tho

1. He could unleash storms of Force Lightning that filled an entire room with voltage, and kill people on contact with it.

2. He reached the point as a duelist where he could defeat Sirak in seconds if he so wished, though he chose not to. Sirak was by far the best student in the academy, and it's stated that even the worst student at at academy is stronger than their average Sith Lords fighting on Ruusan.

3. He easily broke through Quordis's Force Defenses and strangled him to death via TK. Quordis's was the leader of the Sith Academy and one of the Brotherhood's founders.

4. He was able to release a Force Wave powerful enough to blow away the supports of the Temple of the Ancients, which caused the humongous temple to implode.

Those are his most notable feats by this point.

In RoT he also turns a Beast rider to ash and a drexl into a hunk of charred and smoking flesh with his lightning, in a scene that takes place a few days after the end of PoD so its still just PoD Bane. Also in RoT before that scene he casually unleashes a Force Wave which kills a soldier:

'The Force wave slammed into the woman's back, pulverizing her spine and snapping her neck as it drove her facedown into the dirt and pinned her against the ground. Her corpse twitched once, then went forever still.'

He's also able to make his lightsaber cross a large camp, well upwards of 20 meters, in a fraction of a second.

On the Star Forge maybe. Other than that he's not particularly impressive in terms of..... well anything. No particularly great combat showings or accolades that I'm aware of.

Didnt Revan become immensely more powerful just before he fights Nyruss though?

average sith lord during that time= fodder jedi knights that malak killed in like 2 seconds. the worst students would also be fodderized. Darth Malak surpassed Darth Revan in terms of power, was able to control the star forge, could have killed the reborn revan when he first encountered him (he had revan suspended in stasis), had bastila not saved him, which proceeded with bastila getting defeated quickly by malak, a powerful jedi in her own right.

But Sirak coukd also fodderize the worst students, and Bane could have beaten him in the first exchange of blows.

Malak at the time he betrayed revan, was stronger than him (how powerful is darth revan compared to PoD Bane anyway?) plus he did defeat light revan in a NEUTRAL setting, and plus he had 3-4 more years to grow more powerful. also a question: are any of his in-game force powers canon? (like force leap, force immunity, etc.)
