Bane has no strength feats to compare to Malgus. He was amped by the darkside energies of the Stone prison for all of his feats then. He also admitted to growing older and weaker at the beginning of the book
Malgus is physically large too, how exactly would his frame mean anything when he has inferior feats listed to the ones listed for Malgus? Bane also admitted to growing older and weaker at the beginning of Dynasty of Evil.
..yet it was the merest fraction slower than it had
once been.
The aging process was subtle, but inescapable. Bane accepted this; what
he lost in strength and speed he could easily compensate for with wisdom,
knowledge, and experience. But it was not age that was to blame for the
involuntary tremor that sometimes afflicted his left hand.
All this is besides the point however, while Malgus could easily trash Bane in any setting he can't do so with an amped Malak who would be performing the brunt of the fighting and who poses the largest threat.
Bane could provide a distraction before dying until Malak comes into play.

Zenix, I wouldn't bother with carthage. He seriously hates Bane and see's him as pathetic and nothing you say will change his mind on that.
All I did was provide him with feats, as opposed to the erroneous info you always post in your usual discussions. It isn't relevant to me whether he believes me or not, only that I provide actual evidence that Malgus is superior.
You guys put way too much emphasis on comparing strength feats when rakghouls can punch through steel walls and a weakened Khem Val can pulverize rock walls with a punch
Both feats of which kind of shit on anything either Malgus or Bane has accomplished strength wise if you're going to cherry pick the rather pitiful strength feats the mythos has anyway

Ya I'm beginning to realize that. Kid thinks feats in sensationalized sources like video games and comics is holy.The books are written with pretty much everyone except Abeloth and Vitiate down to earth power wise compared to comic and game characters. Hence basically any star wars character in a game or comic > star wars characters who don't appear in those mediums. Which is bs as the book writers take this shit far more seriously and put a lot more care into it.

Don't forget Starkiller. He's written in the books as even more aggressively over the top than he is in the game.

Starkiller's existence violates tons and tons of established cannon so I just don't take him seriously tbh. No one will ever mention him in a book outside his own novel for that exact reason.
