Prodigies that flamed out

Which Force users featured enormous initial growth curves followed by relative stagnation? Note that we're not talking about incompetence, just Force ability.

Ex:

Vitiate
Kyle Katarn
Some would say Kyp Durron
Meetra Surik
Jaden Korr

Darth Bane

Cant fight the truth. He was supposed to be the GOAT, ended up forgotten and irrelevant to basically every NJO/Legacy story.

The New Jedi Order era kinda shat on the story telling potential of several Jedi built up as powerhouses LOL

Bane was a false prodigy. 🙂

I feel like Jaden Korr was supposed to surpass Kyle Katarn eventually, but they just lost interest after Riptide.

Iirc there was supposed to be a third Jaden novel, but it got killed by the Disney deal/continuity reboot

**** Disney, though they gave us Rebels so I guess its forgiven kinda.

I imagine it was gonna cover Jaden's little skirmish with Krayt's forces.

What about Maul?

If SOD Maul was roughly around Dooku's level(I don't think that's debatable) after losing half of his body(and thus, Force potential) and spending a decade as a junkyard dog, a Maul with his full body and a decade or two more of apprenticeship under Sidious would be incredibly powerful.

Vitiate - considering all of his cosmical knowledge on the dark side, all the rituals he made to become more powerful, etc. he should in theory shit on Sidious [he doesn't] and be waaay more powerful than he actually is.

Kyp Durron - what NewGuy said.

Meetra Surik - She was all good and powerful until she got shit on by Nyriss. I give her more credit than most of people here, due to the specific circumstances of their encounter, but it was still a disappointing screw up [yet another one] from Karpyshyn.

Jaden Korr - wasn't he supposed to surpass Kyle by a considerable margin and become a really powerful Jedi?

Vader - I'm not sure if his stagnation in relation to his potential has to do with his limb losing and 'more machine than man', or if it has more to do with his psychological and mental states, tbh.
