Ranking Tenebrous
This conversation comes up all the goddamn time here and at ComicVine. Tenebrous has exactly two official appearances: in Darth Plagueis and "The Tenebrous Way." Some people think he's a weak feeb, others think he's among the top 5 Sith of all time.
How powerful of a Sith Lord is Tenebrous? Discuss.

Definitely not top ten. Probably top twenty though.

None of his feats were particularly impressive.

I'd give him the benefit of the doubt and say that via powerscaling it'd be weird if he wasn't at least above Dooku level. But he doesn't really have much of leg to stand on in that assertion other than the general idea that he should be close to Plagueis. This board is pretty hard on giving unknowns the benefit of the doubt based on assumptions, for good reasons.
It's hard to say. We have to scale him off of non-peak Plagueis, and Plagueis off of non-peak Sidious.
He's certainly a very *knowledgeable* Sith, and would certainly have a lot of power too, but ranking his specifically is tricky. His best area in the force was his foresight, which is traditionally kinda hard to rank power-wise.
Also, his focus on Science is somewhat unusual. Part of what made him formidable was, unusually, not-force-related.
