Darth Bane vs Darth Tenebrous

Who wins?

I think we did this a while ago and Bane obviously wins.

Which Bane?

Out of curiosity, why would Bane obviously win?

I feel like Tenebrous should logically be more powerful than Bane, but Tenebrous is far too much of an unknown to say whether or not he would win or lose.

I get that with each time an apprentice took the mantle, the Banite Sith gained inches rather than miles and I get that there were setbacks such as with Darth Gravid. But Tenebrous was two iterations away from Sidious. Surely he should be, at the very minimum, on par with Bane?

Bane is less powerful by a significant margin, slower, the only real questionable gap is skill

Tenebrous every time.

He's pretty much featless. I don't buy into that RoT means everyone after Bane is better than him crap, for many reasons. Bane has demonstrated superior everything than Tenebrous has. And if Bane has the orbalisks it's pretty unfair.

Bane isn't even close to superior to Tenebrous in everything, and it's basically confirmed that each member of the Banite Sith Order became more powerful consecutively. There was a setback around the Gravid-Gean period (but in knowledge, not so much strength), but other than that, it does make sense.

I doubt that includes the very founder of the order though.

Then why for example someone like Dooku is lesser than Plagueis?

Because Dooku was a Jedi for the vast majority of his life.

Sidious states in BoS that Bane's power has descended down his lineage for a thousand years. Other sources hint at similar things.

And Bane intended for his Order to grow in power, and each member to consecutively grow in power and superiority to his or her master.

Dooku is only a half-Banite Sith. He was a Jedi-converted Sith, but only for Palpatine's own ends during the Clone Wars until he found a suitable replacement (Anakin).

I concur.

Again, 👆

Dooku, while one of the most powerful Jedi&Sith of all time, is not necessarily more powerful than Plagueis because he never surpassed and usurped Palpatine. Same with Maul and Vader.

Tenebrous was one of the final Sith Masters of the Banite lineage, and logically one of the most powerful of them all whereas DoE Bane should be one of the less powerful members.
