I'd say being canonically ahead of Exar Kun in knowledge and Dark Side skill, or being the most powerful Sith Lord in centuries -- as of PoD no less -- and his dilluded, poisoned, trainee-days presence overshadowing a DS nexus that took Thon years to subdue, would garner him far outstripping anyone during Krayt's time other than Krayt himself... And that's just PoD/RoT Bane.
Also, I wish to know how the difference between Vong Krayt and War Krayt is vast. Noticeable, perhaps, but not vast.
1. Unless I'm mistaken, the quote's in reference to recent Sith. Not all Sith. PoD Bane being the supreme Sith up to and of his time in terms of power or knowledge is hilarious, too.
2. Your raw power isn't affected by poisons.
3. Krayt was literally being eaten alive by the parasites, IIRC. I mean, his condition had been terminal for quite some time, and it would've only degenerated over that time.
1. It's ambiguous, but given how the quote refers to near-the-end-of-RoT Bane, after his little venture for Freedon Nadd's, alongside several other, holocrons
2. But the presence left would've still be diluted with time.
3. If Mara Jade can fight off parasites/coomb spores, which albeit proved a debilitating effort, and still prove to be a pretty damn fierce combatant, I don't see why someone who should logically be more powerful than her, couldn't do the same.
Besides, Bane's Orbalisk armor gave him a similar burden, yet people seem to disregard that.
1. Your sentence is incomplete, but given how amazed Bane was at Darth Revan's holocron and how he could barely wrap his head around most of it, then there's no way that he's more powerful/knowledgeable/masterful than those ancient Sith.
2. Is this the Huntress' vision? If so, then no. Visions take you right back to the time and place of whatever you're seeing.
3. The coomb spores weren't as devastating, and Bane's armor actually enhanced his powers, as he specifically notes. The parasites had a trade-off effect, but the armor doesn't make him weaker. The comparison is about as authentic as a vegetarian sausage.
1. I meant is it's Bane as of RoT that the quote is referring to; by that point he's gotten several holocrons which possess most of the ancient teachings of the Sith.
And that's Bane who only knew the teachings from the Brotherhood, at the time. Revan's knowledge should dwarf the Brotherhood's knowledge. Then he goes on to collect even more holocrons. And why would being impressed by something the first time you ever see it, somehow make you inferior to beings who knew it before you, after you've learned it already?
2. No, it's the Huntress literally sensing Bane's presence.
3. I see no reason why not. Both essentially ate their wearers inside out.
4. Eh, I guess 😖hrug: Though I still don't see how that's enough to suggest a vast difference between Vong and War Krayt.
