Darth Caedus, The God Of The Sith!
Any problems with the links let me know.
This opener will essentially be a scaling chain meant to prove Caedus's power and why his feats utterly shit on the Bane scrubs you've chosen to rep in this debate.
TFU Scaling!
A) Kazdan Paratus And Rahm Kota!
Both Paratus and Kota displayed parity to early novel Marek with the former holding strong against his onslaught and the latter deflecting his force lightning during his fights with them at the beginning of the novel (1) (2).
Now given they held parity to Marek, being more or less equal to him it stands to reason they can replicate his feats which absolutely shit on anything you could post for the Bane crew.
Marek managed to destroy thousands of droids through shear power that were capable of holding off the empire for years and were also force wielders capable of TK and force shield (1) (2)
(3).
B) Shaak Ti!
Despite them scaling as rough equals to Marek who at that point was capable of atomizing thousands off droids with force shield and TK Paratus and Kota were described as vastly inferior to Shaak Ti herself who was also casually blasted aside by a force repulse from early novel Marek as of Felucia. (1) (2)
C) TFU 1 Vader!
Despite Marek having grown massively after ragdolling Shaak Ti with a force repulse when he and Vader fought the two were more or less on par, equals as duellists and force users (1).
D) ROTJ Vader
TFU 1 however occurs well before Vader's prime which is as of ROTJ where he feels "engorged by power" with his power feeling "greater than it had ever been" (Link).
Darth Caedus!
Now here is the part where we reach Caedus. Two sources place Caedus as more powerful than Darth Vader himself (The novel synopsis and Lumiya) Now I know blurbs have been listed as subjective by Chee but subjective doesn't mean false and when the notion is backed by other evidence (In this case the opinion of Lumiya) I'm willing to take it as legit and there's no reason why other people shouldn't.
(1) (2)
So essentially the overall look of the scaling chain is something like
Caedus>ROTJ Vader>TFU 1 Vader=End Of Novel Marek>Early Novel Marek>Shaak Ti>Kazdan Paratus and Rahm Kota>Destroying thousands of droids capable of force shields and TK.
