Well, I am. But 'm not consider him as that strong. For me, he was barely able to beat Shaak Ti, and got stomped by Sidious (DS ending, which I consider as a more reliable source. I mean, I know that LS ending was always canon ending in Legends, but I think that Galen gave more then 100% of himself. In a regular fight, the outcome of his duel with Yoda or Sidious' level would be the same, as it was in DS ending.

So you want to dismiss an entire C-canon project (which was not just approved by GL, but he had direct intput in it), because you don't like it?
Cmon man, we both know, that there are sources that are clearly exaggerating character's abilities. I bet, that Stover's characters, like Mace, Anakin, dooku, Yoda or Sidious would stomp the Luceno's version of those characters. I don't like TCW and Rebels at all, but I must admit, that characters' abilities seems to be really comperable with those from movies. TFU, CW are not.
Well there's a clear distinction even between what movie characters and their Legends counterpart can do so that's hardly a fair comparison. By that way of thinking you should dismiss all Legends material.
Besides Vader has comparable showings to his TFU scaling in Disney canon, like pulverizing Lyleks, tanking the center of factory and Sith weapon explosions, lifting and crushing AT-AT.

@McP: Would you throw out SWTOR or the Old Republic because Sith have brought down cruisers, caused a star to go supernova, wiped the mind of a space station or drained an entire planet?
Ofc not. But in Legends it was simple for me: I had those reference books, that somehow retconed exaggerated feats. And Naga Sadow, for example, from a guy who could blast stars, was reducted to a guy who - due to items - can blast an unstable star.
And Palpatine - who aside of his DE feats haden't anything special - was stated to be the most powefil Sith Lord in history, which somehow retconed status of people like Nihilus and Vitiate.
Legens!Sidious > any version of Vitiate. To be fair, I always used " >= " in a case between them. And the difference between Malgus and Vitiate always helped me to compere him to mace or Dooku or Vader basing of their differences with Sidious or Yoda.
My version of powerscaling. Might be laughtable for you, but for me it's fine.
