I don't get this mentality; why another Sith cannot be comparable to Palpatine in the area of Force Lightning?Force Lightning is not just about raw power; mindset and command of the application are more important factors. An individual can be gifted in its use.
Following demonstrations are nothing to sneeze at:
Darth Nox drew on the power of several Force ghosts to protect himself from a Force Lightning Storm unleashed by Darth Thanaton; this is not a common development. Darth Thanaton's expression was truly formidable.
Now consider the example of Bastilla Shan; she was gifted in the use of Battle Meditation. We know that Bastilla Shan doesn't holds a candle to Palpatine in the aspect of raw power but should we assume that Bastilla Shan could not compete with Palpatine in the use of Battle Meditation?
I do believe that Palpatine could conjure more potent expressions of Force Lightning than Darth Thanaton.
Sidious has so many accolades about both his knowledge and power of the dark side, it's almost ridiculously OP for such a short period of lifetime. Even as of ROTS, Sidious has lightning feats that put him far above Thanaton. I never said no one can compete with Sidious either, but when it comes to lightning, only Valkorion can be a rival.

Darth Thanaton conjured a Force Lightning Storm of such intensity and potency that Darth Nox was left with no option but to rely upon excessive use of Sith Sorcery to counter it; conventional defenses wouldn't have worked and Darth Nox would have been history otherwise. Trust me! Beating Darth Thanaton was not an easy task or a Mid-Tier job.
I acknowledge Palpatine's superiority in the area of Force Lightning over majority. There isn't a need to remind me about Palpatine's capabilities in a discussion. You are not getting my point though.
There are more Sith and/or Force-users who hold a candle to Palpatine in the area of Force Lightning. Examples include Darth Malgus, Darth Plagueis and Karness Muur. I expect Revan and Tulak Hord to be fantastic in this area as well. Valkorion is best in this area, IMO.

You conveniently overlooked the analogy of Bastilla Shan.Darth Thanaton conjured a Force Lightning Storm of such intensity and potency that Darth Nox was left with no option but to rely upon excessive use of Sith Sorcery to counter it; conventional defenses wouldn't have worked and Darth Nox would have been history otherwise.

Originally posted by S_W_LeGenDBastila Shan does have feats though, and BM's potency isn't determined by raw power as much as lightning's potency.

What is Thanaton's best lightning feat? Because Sidious stalemated Yoda before his prime, caused a massive destruction in TFU on death star, ashed Jedi, bent Windu's saber etc.
Not sure about Karness Muur but Tulak Hord is an unknown and Revan is not on Sidious' level. Plagueis was on the same level with TPM Sidious, and Malgus doesn't compare either.
You're comparing being pretty powerful in your era to being the most of all times tbh.

Maybe stop at 7, butprobablypossibly clear.And if they do they possibly stop at 9, definitely 10.
They clear 9 too but still a stop at 10.
