Orbalisk Bane runs a gauntlet (read the description)

Ok. No flaming and no BS allowed in this thread.

This is the most powerful version of Bane imho mainly do to an advantage that Orbalisk gives.

To make things interesting let's say the setting is Vjun, Château Malreaux.

No prep time.

He gets full power and health restored after each battle.

1. Scourge
2. Nyriss
3. SF Malak
4. SoD Maul
5. Dooku
6. FE Malgus
7. Caedus

Clear.

Definitely 4. I'd be willing to entertain an argument that Malak could take him.

6

gets stomped hard at 7.

Tbh I entertain the notion that Maul can beat him.

Dies at 6 or 7, unsure of if he can beat Emperor Malgus.

Malgus is more skilled, strong enough and durable enough to match Bane's bull-like assault, and has maelstrom that could f*** with his Orbalisks.

Yeah, maybe stops at Malgus.

You place Bane that low? 🤨

Well SF!Malak apparently gave Revan hell and I think Revan would sodomize Bane. So I'm willing to entertain the possibility.

Why would KOTOR Revan sodomize Bane?

The fact that SF!Malak can challange Orbalisk!Bane is not far fetched at all.

TBH I was thinking again about this gauntlet. With these stipulations I think #4 is 50/50. With #5 I'm leaning towards Dooku. Still, I welcome arguments in favor of Bane in both cases.

Yet with #6 I have my doubts Bane can take down Malgus.

I'll refer you to Ant on that one, who would gladly jump at the opportunity to create a wall of text on the issue.

Challenging and beating him are two different things. How can Malak beat Bane? People go off on Bane about various things, but all that stuff applies to Malak more than to him. Malak is hardly swimming in feats and he has nothing on the orbalisks. Bane would dominate Malak in a duel, he's stronger, faster and has the orbs and his lightning is stronger than Malak's and so is his TK. What's Malak's edge? Getting beat up by a tired, weakened Revan 3+ times in a row?

Well if Maul doesn't get him Dooku will.

So I would like to say he stops at 4 but if he doesn't 5 will stop him.

Falls at 3. The power that Malak wielded on the Star Forge is utterly ridiculous.

Yeah, he ragdolled 2 Jedi at once. Mindblowing.

I wasn't referring to that, but that feat probably outstrips majority of Bane's.

Oh yeah, you think Malak > Nihilus in power. You probably think he destroyed Telos solo or something lol.

At least it wasn't on a nexus.

Malak gets his butt whooped even with a nexus, bro.

By the guy Bane regularly jacked off to, yeah.
