Sidious having the most haxxx one of them all is actually pretty natural and expected.
I guess it's fitting that Palpatine would possess the greatest power since, from a storytelling perspective, he's the greatest and most important villain in the entire mythology. You can't really embody the ultimate evil if you don't also represent the acme of its power. 👆
That said, a lot of these wanky powers are bullshit. Even his.

Meh, I'm glad EU depicted force sensitives as more powerful beings. It makes their importance in the galaxy and the story itself more epic imo. Though I agree some of it is utter garbage.
Eh, we'll agree to disagree on that one Sin.

I don't really see anything wrong with Force Storm. It being able to destroy the universe/"all space" is still pretty dumb, but seems par the course for the wankery that is the EU.
I'm pretty critical of the EU and was one of the first ones to kinda rejoice with the Legends/canon split. And while canon has toned down the wankery, it simply replaced it with a different brand of stupidity.

Your post history reads like a rap sheet of taking unsubstantiated claims at face value tbh: Khem Val with Tulak Hord, anything ever said about Nihilus, etc.
Hell, you think that SWTOR retcons Path of Destruction because it makes Bane's temple feat look cooler. uhuh
Let's just say we'll agree to disagree on what you'd conceivably do with something this wanktastic in your arsenal. 👆

Of course. That's why Sheev is exponentially more dangerous than all of them.
But let's be honest: your reservation owes entirely to the fact that kind of scale attributed is to Sidious and not, say, the aforementioned losers to whom you've dedicated your KMC career.
