I'd give it to Zannah in both. Especially if Malak isn't being buffed by the Star Forge.
Force: Zannah has her sorcery, and I'm pretty sure Malak has no counter to that.
Sabers: This is a meh one but I'd still give it to Zannah. Her application of Soresu is remarkable, considering she was able to hold off against Bane in a prolonged fight without getting completely smashed.

-non Star Forge amped Malak-
1. Malak's lightsaber skills in the Mandalorian Wars are sometimes said to be just important as Revan's military genius.
2. Malak has been stated to "extraordinary dark side Force powers out of proportion..."
3. Malak has been compared to Exar Kun on several occasions, including power.
4. Malak has telekentically force whirlwinded Revan.
5. Malak has put Revan in Force Stun, as well as Bastila/Carth.
6. He defeated Bastila quite easily and has demonstrated the ability to create blurs in comics.
7. His pain threshold is probably the best out of all the humans in the mythos.

Thats not a feat of pain threshold, its not the pain that would have killed him. For all we know he was rendered quite unconscious from the agony. Revan still being capable of fighting after getting his mask half-melted onto his face is a good showing of pain tolerance.
STRENGTH FEATS:
"An imposing figure with ghostly pale features, prominent Sith tattoos, a gleaming red lightsaber, and devastating Dark Side power, Malak struck terror into the hearts of his former allies. He also wore a vocal mask that may have concealed a form of cybernetic life-support. Did it provide him with powers far greater than even Exar Kun or Freedon Nadd, or was cybernetic enhancement too simple an explanation?"
Malak beats the shit out of a Mandalorian.
It requires two Jedi to hold back an enraged Malak.
He was highly proficient at Force Rage, which gives one greater speed, strength, and ferocity. He also fights with Juyo single-handily, a very physically demanding thing to do.
He is ****ing ripped:
"Malak gained a reputation as a headstrong warrior who would recklessly charge into danger.
That quote is very similar to Marka Ragnos's quote: charging into enemies with heavy armor and pure rage." who "beat his pet [rancor] nightly."
Originally posted by UltimateAnomalythat's not all that impressive considering maul can actually get shocked and brush it off like nothing, then there's Satale Shan who as a padawan was shocked by a Sith Lord and survived, she was barely scathed. Malak Got his jaw cut off, I think that while lightning is painful, a sawed off jaw hurts like a mother.
He got fried with a f*ck ton of lightning and kept going. And that's going to hurt from top to bottom.A saber through the jaw is going to hurt, but it cauterizes the wound as it cuts. Therefore it's not as deadly as it might seem.
