"Revan had a mother and father, parents, ancestors, like all Jedi do. And when he awakened to his potential, I was there to see it."
The above quote makes me believe that much of Revan's power was already realized by the MW, and rather the Revan incarnations mark the greatest distinction in mastery, knowledge, and mind-set, not power.

But isn't your position predicated on the notion that Meetra has no idea how powerful post-mando wars Revan is? So how could she know if he had realized his potential?

As per the quote, much of Revan's potential was realized even *before* going into the Mandalorian Wars.
However, I'm referring to the Exile's lack of knowledge of his notable, but not unprecedented, increase in power from the MW to later incarnations.
So Revan can be more powerful than Darth Nihilus as of the MW because much of his potential is realizeD, but also "far more powerful" when his potential has fully been realized in SWTOR:R.

Honestly, I think you're attributing way too much precision to characters' language. Like, "awakened to his potential" could just mean "got a f*ckton more powerful". If we played this game with, say, KMC members, we could come to all sorts of ridiculous conclusions about people's lives. Nobody uses language to the level of perfection your train of thought requires.
This also contradicts the claims in TOR that Revan has become more powerful than any Jedi could have imagined. EDIT: oh, you edited

When all we have to go off of is character language, it's essential to analyze it.
I interpret that quote as hyperbole in the extent of the claim (i.e. he's not beyond imagination), but fact in regards to Revan's vast superiority over any other Jedi in history to that point.

Doesn't it also not mesh well with Malak's claim that Revan is more powerful than he ever was as a dark lord? That could hardly apply to knowledge, given that Revan wasn't too far removed from having started his training from scratch.
Note that if you think that Malak was close to Darth Revan, the gap has to be pretty large, given that Malak presumably grew more powerful afterwards, and was amped by the star forge, and then faced a fatigued Revan.

Obviously, Revan would have the edge with superior force augmentation, but if this is just a duel designed to test saber skill (which I have always assumed sabers only meant), it'd be a good match. Revan isn't the sort of the duelist to make the mistakes Maul and Anakin got punished for (he'd be wise to Obiwan's schtik from the getgo), so I could see this battle going on for a while with neither making any headway. Would love to see it animated.
