Did Revan get stomped by Vitiate?
I'll just re-post my response from google hangouts:
Yep, Revan got crushed. That's why Vitiate had to "focus and channel his power" until the "last possible instant" just to TK Revan across the throne room, which essentially did nothing. Revan then thwarts Vitiate's TP, knocks him on his ass a couple of times, and after getting overwhelmed by the FLS, tanks Vitiate's continued lightning, then literally heals himself and is back up in seconds. That's why a wounded Revan, Scourge, and Meetra had as much a chance at losing as winning, more or less. That's why it's described that Revan "nearly assassinated the Emperor," and that Vitiate's fear grew so much from Revan's attack that he decided to create the Emperor's Voice. That's why Revan resisted the Emperor for 300 years, even though Vitiate had the Dread Masters helping him too.
