If Ludo Kressh>Nihilus, why didn't he just TK that Sith warship that crashed on him? Even Vitiate doesn't whip out planet rendering energies whenever he wants, with Ziost he needed to cause death and chaos to build up enough energy to rend said planet. I could be wrong since I do prefer said Ancients>Nihilus, but N is a big outlier in everything.
Re: TK, a lot of context goes into these feats and Nihilus pulling his ships out on a nexus under indeterminate conditions and timeframe doesn't equate to everyone being able to do so whenever.
Re: planet killing, yeah I think Nihilus's planet-killing, in addition to being nebulous, may be a savant-ability that doesn't scale very well.
But I also don't buy that Nihilus <<< ancient sith. OOU: Avellone's vision about the ancients never materialized. IU: Traya was full of sh*t.
