I also recall his lightning left residual sparks/energy where it was blasted for hours.His precog is also through the roof. He predicted his own death as well as the rise of Sidious, and even recognized him through Plagueis's eyes.
So yeah, he's got that and a handful if esoteric shit. not bad for someone who has a total if 15 pages of screen time.
I mean, I guess it's not bad but not overly impressive either. Frankly, I actually think he may be the weakest on his team. Even more so than Maul.
I wouldn't say that. As far as telekinesis goes, Tenebrous was able to support boulders that threatened to crush his shuttle, just after comfortably deflecting a blast that destabilized caves the size of cathedrals. I don't really think Maul has any TK feats that definitively surpass those. Much can be argued for the rest of his shit, too.
Again, though, this is a character who collectively has barely a dozen pages of screen time, most of which were devoted to his scientific developments. It's hard to gauge his power from that, but he seems like a genuine powerhouse from the little info we have on him.

Sorry, but this really doesn't tell us much about him. Maul and Dooku were also among the last of the lineage, and both could perhaps manage a breath or two before Palpatine Reborn ended them.

Plagueis was far, far, far from his prime. He was still a mere apprentice.
he fought alongside Plagueis against hundreds of Kursid warriors without using lightsabers or the force,
This would be impressive if we had any idea what Kursid warriors were capable of.

Plagueis himself is not exactly a lightsaber master. He was very good, but there's nothing to suggest that his technical ability was on the level of any of the Jedi Order's best.

Like, these are all impressive in most contexts, but they are less than nothing by Palpatine's standards.
His precog is also through the roof. He predicted his own death as well as the rise of Sidious, and even recognized him through Plagueis's eyes.
Again, Palpatine isn't exactly going to be tembling in his boots at the mention of precognition.

I'm not saying Tenebrous isn't extremely powerful; he probably is top tier if only by the fact that he was Plagueis's master, who seemed to respect his power, but let's not pretend there's anything to suggest he'd last more than ten seconds against Palpatine.
Everyone seems to have left Kyp out of the discussion, when I think he's the strongest of the team. Don't think it will be enough, as Maul dies in nanoseconds and I don't think two sith and a jedi are going to properly coordinate strikes against Palpatine.
