Darth Malgus vs Darth Malak and Darth Revan

Revan in particular was not a stellar work. I hated it upon initial reading, and while I became less venomous upon rereading it, the work still stands as one of the least satisfying bits of lore I've read bar anything post-RotJ (much of which is rubbish).

However, Nai did a good job of pulling exact quotes to provide context, which is far more than we've seen in the defense of Malgus. Having not seen much of Malgus outside of the novels and the trailers for TOR, I'd like to see better arguments on his behalf

Me too while the trailers were uberz, there's plenty of top tier guys who if they chose to go dark side who could match him, even eclipse him. Many of the Jedi of his time were caught with their pants down - so to speak - and don't represent the most talented or gifted Jedi ever to tread the SW universe.

Does anyone think Malgus would pwn masters like Yoda, Dooku, Mace et al? Even later time Jedi like Luke, Katarn, Korr, Jacen without going through hell first? He aint going to beat those guys without having to suffer a bit of heavy damage/punishment himself.

Also, we've seen while the dark side gives these guys a tremendous boost in power, abusing it like most Sith do, eventually makes you more and more a weak knee in the force over time, and even over the duration of a fight. Leaving practitioners open and vulnerable to more controlled, cold, calculated fighters who prefer absorbing force energy.

And I have a theory that later time force users can be more powerful or have the potential to be anyway due to increase of life in the galaxy i.e. the living force is growing, not shrinking.

Malgus is extremely calculating iirc. He's an angry dude, but not in a mindless way.

No, I doubt anyone thinks he can pwn those guys. I think he can beat a few of them though.

He could pwn Katarn and Korr. The rest would actually beat him, except maybe Mace or Dooku.

I'd say he beats everyone except Yoda, Mace and Luke.

Just to point this out--The text highly implies that Kyle Katarn probably couldn't have lasted much longer than literally five seconds against Caedus if it were not for his allies. So yeah, I don't think he's doing very well against Malgus either. Korr's weaker than Katarn.
