Difference is, my argument against his is a sure thing. I'm not going to derail a CaV for my own agenda. Once they're done, I'll have an entire thread ready to debunk more than just that. You however have no such leeway, you solidifying their arguments only makes Bane worse off in the long run. Ventress >>> Bane is going to be a certainty.
So me solidifying arguments in Bane’s favor somehow strengthens some weird notion that’s Ventress scales above Bane? Last I checked none of these arguments Az is making are contingent on Ventress scaling above Bane any more than Ant’s arguments for Kun’s power are contingent on Malak scaling above Kun.
We’re both doing the same thing here in regards to accepting wank for our characters while disagreeing with the other argument they’ll apply to use that wank for their characters benefit... I don’t see where you draw the distinction.
Maybe Skere Kaan>Darth Bane? Ever thought about that?
Could be why Bane never challenged Kaan to a duel. 😛 He was afraid of getting pwned like a b**ch.
Aside note: Kaan didn't suddenly bend the most Sith Lords to his will. He was passively Force influencing them. Even Qordis and Kopecz were able to resist his passive influence.
When you passively influence others, your actions are not registered as a threat. Of course it also depends of the Force user's awareness.
Seems legit as to why he went full Palpatine mode with the thought bomb instead of facing him in direct combat. IIRC, Kaan seemed to be an embodiment of the dark side to Darth Bane. And it wasn't due to the corruptive effects because Kaan's body was still in great health. Possible that this was what Bane thought about Kaan when he percieved him as if he were the embodiment of the dark side.

The relevant part comes now: Bane casually resists Kaan's telepathy (full scene omitted for length), and is stated many times to be able to easily beat him in combat:Darth Bane, Lord of the Sith. The title was his by right; there was no other strong enough in the dark side to challenge him.

Lord Kaan knew he was no match for Bane, either physically or through the power of the Force.
[...]
Bane stayed in the position of supplication until the Dark Lord was well out of sight, then stood up and brushed the dirt from his knees with a grim scowl. He had felt Kaan's efforts to dominate his mind, but they had had no more effect than a rusted knife scraping against the hide plates of a Halurian ice-boar. Yet he had seized on the opportunity and delivered a performance worthy of the greatest dramatist on Alderaan.
Darth Bane: Path of Destruction
Kaan was afraid of Darth Bane. Nothing new. He lost his $hit. It isn't the only time when that happens in Star Wars. Kaan was always surrendered by his bros and being the center of attention. It was natural for him to fear Bane because someone dared to defy him and challenge him: he was taken by surprise. Not only that, but he was unable to fully utilize his power because his emotions (fear) hindered his Force abilities. Even Bane says Kaan was anything but not weak. If Bane is really stronger than Kaan, he wouldn't say that to Zannah. So either this or Drew made a retcon regarding Kaan's personal power.

The fvcking novel says Bane is far more powerful than Kaan, you amoeba.

I like how you only read half of my argument. Either Kaan lost his shit when Bane challenged him and couldn't utilize his entire power because his Force abilities were hindered. You know, just because one is powerful, that does not mean they aren't strong/er. Or Drew retconned the whole aspect of power about Skere Kaan. If Kaan was weaker than Bane, it wouldn't make sense for Bane to tell Zannah that Kaan was anything but not weak, especially when Bane had the notion that the entire Brotherhood of Darkness is made up of 'weaklings'. And this statement comes from Darth Bane who had more Force mastery than his PoD self.

It's been stated multiple times Bane is more powerful, greater in combat, more imposing, etc. The fact that Bane thought Kaan was also powerful means jacksh!t; Yoda thought Dooku was powerful but would walk over him.
Valkorion says Vaylin is powerful; guess that means Vaylin is > Valkorion.

What? This is the guy who viewed the entire Brotherhood of Darkness as weaklings. WEAKLINGS
Whether this means jack$hit to you or not, it doesn't exclude the fact that Bane stated that much. Bane isn't just a statement guy, when he makes a statement, he certainly does it because he is impressed(for him power speaks for itself) And Bane is hardly impressed because he values inner power above all.
Yoda thought Dooku was powerful but would walk over him.
Yoda never said Dooku is weak in the Force. And in Yoda's case: his statement was before he faced him in combat whereas Bane stated that line after he 'faced' Skere Kaan. 😂
Valkorion says Vaylin is powerful; guess that means Vaylin is > Valkorion.
Valkorion never lowballed Vaylin's power.

Yeah. lol
If I am retarded, what is Az, then? 😂 😆
So it's either:
1. Kaan's abilities were hindered by his fear
2. Kaan's level of power has been retconned
