First of all, the entire article is based on Legends continuity (Darth Bane Trilogy) so how is it possible that the quote (which was placed in the header of that article) is canon? Simple logic people...
Secondly, I've seen Ant's conversation with one of the authors of fact file and there's nothing which suggests that the quote itself is canon. The author explains how the change (Canon/Legends) came through when they were working on fact file nr 39 (IIRC) while Bane's quote was produced in fact file nr 22. Yes fact file 22 was released two months after the change (Canon/Legends) but it was already finished way before that and well if they would have adjusted it then they wouldn't have included his Legends material.
The author never said it was only canon.
I'll ask Ant to provide the quote when he logs on.
How can you even believe that the header of a LEGENDS article would be canon?
Ask the author that confirmed it, not me. I dunno why it's so hard to accept, as Bane clearly isn't > Nihilus, Kun, Vitiate, Revan anyway.

I know the quote.
Because it's simple logic? He's not superior to Nihilus or Vitiate since the TOR era wasn't included. Still makes him superior to Exar Kun and the other ancients who've appaered in fact file.
