Malgus vs. Bane and Malak

Appeal to ignorance

Just because it's not explicitly stated doesn't mean it isn't feasible, especially when the scenario isn't contradicted by on panel/in text evidence

I'm not saying this to low ball Zannah as I view her as on par with Bane and hold them both up pretty high but the shielding feat isn't as impressive as you make it sound.

"She remembered what Laa had said just before the entire forest
had exploded in flames: Bad dreams, Rain. Death dreams. The fires had killed most of the other bouncers. The survivors had all gone
mad. All except Laa. Somehow Rain had saved her. She’d used the Force,
shielding them both from the burning death and destruction, though she
wasn’t quite sure how she’d done it. It had just sort of .. . happened. Now
she and Laa had nobody left but each other."

I would like to point out however that some bouncers clearly survived the inferno even without shielding, pointing to this not being that impressive of a feat for a full Sith, for a child though, definitely.

They ran the **** away, thats how they survived. Just like how the Jedi did. Dozens of Jedi and even Sith were obliterated though. Remember that Kaan stopped the storm before it did any real slaughter.

This is from Rain's perspective however, the most likely way for her to have known other bouncers survived is if she saw them afterward in their insane state.
Which would indicate they were not some great distance away from running.

Even with the Ruusan feats Bane has incredibly powerful feats like disintegrating people with lightning and tk, destroying the Lehon temple, moving fast enough to appear to be wielding a dozen lightsabers and to block all rain from hitting him in a 20 minute downpour as well as many other high class feats. Also recall that even if we ignore Banes part on Ruusan, Zannah was able to unconsciously shield herself from the firestorm Bane and the Sith unleashed. Which is also incredibly impressive.

All of which occur on nexuses and amped by orbalisks for Bane 👆

Actually quite a few of those took place away from Nexuses and in DOE after he lost his orbalisks. In addition though, just because we didn't see Bane preform some of the feats away from a nexus or outside his orbalisk armor is not even close to proof that he could not have done so.

In fact after reading the Luke/Jaina/Ben/Vestara vs. Khai other sith fight on Dromund Kaas I'm inclined to think the benefit of a dark side nexus for a Sith is negligible.

Prior to Bane's destruction of the BOD, the darkside, being spread over such a large number of Sith Lords, was actually weaker than it would later become. So you could argue that all of Bane's POD nexus feats are actually cancelled out by a cosmically higher anti-nexus to some extent. Your thoughts, Carthage?

Will post them in a bit, currently waiting to pick up my cat

Only according to Bane. Personally, I always thought it was one of the stupidest concepts from the comic and made Bane look even more idiotic.

They're all blinded by the sun reflecting off the other twos head, it ends in a draw.

Ya I'm beginning to realize that. Kid thinks feats in sensationalized sources like video games and comics is holy.

That's not true. Carthage is far from being a SW's fan of that category. From what I know, he's not a Nihilus' fanboy at least. And it's true, that basing on pure feats, Nihilus might be consider as the strongest guy in the universe. The problem is, that if we will use a "powerscaling", then Nihilus isn't that good. He might be consider as Revan's equal at best (but for me, he was drugged fool and coward, who was inferior to both, Revan and Kreia).
He also isn't a fanboy of Vitiate, who also - basing just on game's feats - is incredible strong.
