No Malgus
No Darth Krate
No Darth Bane
No Darth Revan
He literally missed dozens and dozens. Every notable Sith. I'm a complete casual and I could make up a much better list off the top of my head. Pathetic. He could have literally come up with a better list through a 30 second Google search. What an embarrassment.
@@Wes_Bradley-Taubner But most of the people on the list weren't Sith
Yet list a plethora of non Sith. Maybe he should have named it a lust of Darkside users......Revan also was added to canon, so he could have been mentioned but based on legend merrits...@Wes_Bradley-Taubner
Or nihilus
He also forgot Tulak Hord, who ,in lore, fought off and killed over a thousand Jedi by himself, and was considered the BEST duelist of his time. He was also extremely powerful when it comes to telekinesis, being able to pull a ship the size of Endar Spire out of the sky.
If Mickey Mouse was a Sith Lord, he'd be #1.
No, it wood be darth jar jar
If?
Darth mouse
@@bennyk9287😂😂
LOL what 😂 !!!?
U clearly dont understand what a SITH is.
Wait, since when is Darth Maul above Dooku?
Dooku is skilled enough with a lightsaber to go toe-to-toe with Yoda himself, and strong enough with the force to fire lightnings. Maul is nowhere near his level.
Heck, just compare their performances against Obi-Wan. Dooku was able to easily defeat Obi-Wan in both Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith (even with Anakin helping him), while Darth Maul suffered some humiliating defeats at Obi-Wan's hands in The Phantom Menace and Star Wars Rebels.
This!
If you read the Darth Maul audiobook, you’ll learn he was more powerful than Dooku. Palpatine himself said that Maul is the best athlete the Sith ever had in its history and was second to only him in saber skills.
Plus maul beat obi wan so many times in the clone wars
I mean in the EU maul has defeated Vader plus maul is described by George Lucas as stronger than dooku. In terms of swordsmanship maul was trained his entire life he was a fraction of dookus age. Dueling would probably go too maul just about due too him having better feats. Defeating mace windu and defeating Vader. Also force lightning wouldn’t slow him down. Maul has shrugged off dookus lightning before he will just ignore it and keep going. It would just be a repeat of anakin vs dooku. Maul wins mid-high dif
@@hisexcellency916According to most sources in Canon Dooku was more powerful then Maul even compared to Late Clone Wars Maul they said the Talzin healed Maul was not on Dookus nor Vaders level of power plus out of the two of them in Son Of Dathomir Mace thought of Dooku being the master and Maul being the apprentice plus in the fight when Sidious And Talzin were dueling with there force/magic abilities they were tied then when Maul who was near full consciousness and added his power to Talzin and when a near dead Dooku helped Sidious with his power in addition team Sidious gained ground not team Talzin plus Sidious even after he found out Maul was still alive and healed by Talzins magics mostly he still never planned on asking Maul back as a apprentice one of the reasons but not only one being that Dooku was still more powerful plus had more use at that point and Anakin would be potentially able to be turned anyways Maul had more potential then Dooku but he never reached it not even close or half in Canon Maul was the offspring of Talzin so had a potency higher then hers and likely higher then Sidious own but due to losing on Naboo and lacking more training he never got passed Dookus power plus as far as lightsaber skills go it placed Maul above Tyrannus as a red lightsaber wielder but then one of the writers said that Dooku was the more skilled lightsaber duelist so a bit of a contradiction there what Prime Maul had over Prime Tyrannus is physical abilities and unarmed combat but is outmatched in Saber skills and definitely force abilities overall yeah.
Luke Skywalker was SO powerful that he distracted Sidious long enough for Darth Vader to pick him up and throw him. 😅
In Legends, none is more powerful than ancient Sith lords.
Knights of Ren - not sith
All inquisitors - not sith
Shin badie - not sith
Ren - not a sith
Baylon Skoll - not a sith
Snoke - debatable
Asajj ventress - not a sith
General grievous - not a sith
Quilan vos - not a sith
Kylo ren - not a sith
Mother Talzin - not a sith
I don’t think you know what a sith is,
Just because someone is a bad guy and uses the force and or a lightsaber, doesn’t make them a sith, this list is a dark side power ranking not sith
with grievous, mother talzin and the knights of ren it's not even that. its just a ranking of the main star wars villains
Sometimes I think Danco smokes a very cheap substance that messes with his brain then proceeds to make a video lol.
Oh and the fact no reven , no vitiate , no malgus , no bane , lord starkiller , no Darth Krayt , no exar kun , no nihilus ,
But has an inquisitor, he doesn’t know what a sith is as well as has no clue of the power ranking in Star Wars
@@misterosmee5248 the title of the video says other wise but ok
@@TheHopebane der titel des videos sagt das es ein ranking von sith lords ist. die hälfte der personen in dem ranking sind aber keine sith
Darth Sidious: “You will not stop me.”
Darth Nihilus: “I can try.”
Sidious and Nihilus is an interesting comparison in terms of power and all that.
Though Nihilus arguably did much more impressive feats, like killing all life on Katarr and using all that force energy to become stronger in the force.
People will still argue how Sidious was stronger, but I'd argue Sidious was a better Sith overall, while Nihilus was min-maxed in force abilities specifically.
Hell, Palpatine was a brilliant leader as well, and had a pretty strong grasp on his empire. Meanwhile, Nihilus, unorthodoxly so for a Sith, did not care to establish an Empire to rule over. He only cared for one thing. Satiating his endless hunger for life-force that was slowly eating himself from the inside all the while empowering him in the process. Nihilus wasn't his own master anymore, he was becoming a slave to the dark side, only ever managing to show what little of his humanity he had left when he saved Visas Marr from Katarr and made Marr his own apprentice.
How the hell is darth maul more powerful than Dooku. That makes no sense.
Imagine if Anakin never went to Mustafar.
Bro, what happened to Darth Malgus?! He raided the Jedi Temple destroyed most of it survived and killed so many jedi.
Not sure about Dooku being behind Maul. It's also worth mentioning that the Darth Vader we got was nowhere near the Darth Vader we could have had due to Anakin's/Vader's pre-Mustafar potential being the highest in the franchise.
Bro what? DARTH MAUL BEAT DOOKU AND GRIEVUS AFTER THE DEATH OF MOTHER TALZIN.
@@alexkwon9099 No, he managed to capture Grevious and Dooku, but the second was only captured with help from the whole shadow collective. That's not the same as defeating someone, let alone doing it one on one.
@@GamingDrummer89 Oh, didn’t read the comic face to face sorry.
@@alexkwon9099 You can find the whole thing narrated on TH-cam.
Vader still became the second most powerful sith despite this though
This is more a “most dangerous bad guy list” than a powerful Sith Lord list.
Even if this was a most dangerous bad guys list I'm sure that most of legends sith lords like exar kun, darth malgus, bane etc were way more powerful than the knights of ren or the inquisitors or heck even kylo for that matter but they weren't even on this list
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
Enough of this. Vader release him!
Ranking maul over doku is disrespectful
no, its fax
No maul has more potential
Dooku is so overrated it’s sad
lol , even if u ask chatgpt
Yes, Count Dooku is more powerful than Darth Maul. While both are extremely skilled Sith Lords, Dooku has several key advantages:
Experience & Training - Dooku was trained as a Jedi by Yoda himself and later turned to the dark side under Darth Sidious. His extensive knowledge of both Jedi and Sith techniques gives him an edge over Maul, who was trained primarily as a Sith warrior.
Lightsaber Combat - Dooku is a master of Form II (Makashi), a dueling-centric style that focuses on precision, efficiency, and countering other lightsaber users. Maul, while an aggressive and acrobatic fighter with Juyo (Form VII), relies more on brute force and physical prowess, which Dooku's refined technique can counter.
Force Abilities - Dooku is significantly more proficient in Force powers, particularly Force lightning, telekinesis, and mind tricks. Maul is strong in the Force but relies more on physical combat rather than advanced dark side techniques.
Intelligence & Strategy - Dooku is a master manipulator, politician, and tactician. While Maul is cunning and resourceful, Dooku’s strategic mind and ability to outmaneuver opponents make him a more formidable overall force.
In Canon: Dooku defeated Obi-Wan Kenobi multiple times, something Maul struggled with. He also held his own against Yoda and Anakin, whereas Maul was ultimately bested by both Kenobi and Sidious.
In Legends: Dooku and Maul fought in the comic "Star Wars: Darth Maul - Son of Dathomir", where Dooku overpowered Maul using both lightsaber combat and Force lightning.
While Maul is a relentless and dangerous warrior, Dooku’s refined skill, superior Force abilities, and vast experience make him the more powerful Sith overall.
Kathleen Kennedy should be on this list.
Where are all the ancient sith like Malgus, Nihilus, Revan?
All are non canon. This list is based on the Disney star wars canon. However, Nihilus shows up as a statue in the Rise of Skywalker meaning his physical features are canon but technically we don't know his name. Disney could change it if they wanted.
@@TenOfTwenty Revan is in canon too
I wish we had a Snoke backstory and how he corrupted Kylo Ren.
Yes he could've been a great character instead of a throw away
We do bro
he mace windu
@@domthesleeplvss bro I forgot about that theory 💀
No wish they’d give us og legends content instead of Disney star track Ben skywalker > Ben solo anyday
bro… most of this list arent even actual sith lords. just dark side users lol. and no way bro put darth maul ABOVE COUNT DOOKU 💀
I don't remember the planet but I remember it being said that Darth Vader went down alone and decimated an entire army. That's chilling raw power and skill.
All I'm surrounded by is fear... and dead men
What about strongest superhero in nickelodeon
This is not a sith ranking this is just a villain ranking if Star Wars . Pls if u are going to do sith then actually do real sith or change it .
Ben Solo is Disney nonsense garbage. Luke had the son named Ben
And he was more powerful also.
Ben skywalker >>x1million Ben solo ngl i read ts
Maul above Dooku? Highly unlikely.
Why does everyone pronounce Savage wrong? 💀
Oh, not everyone do. ACTUAL fans doesn't. This amateur however? Yeah, is it clear he hasn't actually watched the Clone Wars? Ha ha.
Even as a casual fan, hearing him pronounce it the wrong way mad me unreasonably angry.
Dude stick to superhero videos, you're clearly out of your depth.
What a joke of ranking honestly, it seriously didn't put any effort to make a decent top.
He doesn’t even know how to pronounce Savage
Dark Brandon without a doubt! Can you imagine having so much power and at the same time, no clue what’s going on. Talk about dangerous.
Suppose this is the result of what happens when you let an amateur rank Siths.
There are... SOOO many mistakes with all of this honestly.
-The vast majority of these characters aren't even Sith.
-Ranks Inquisitors above Darth Shaa, who was an ACTUAL Sith.
-Savage was never able to beat Dooku, not even with help from Ventress.
-Stop referring to characters as "Sith apprentices" or Relating to being Sith in any capacity when they are not.
-Darth Shaa was killed before Darth Bane was even born (If Legends is to be believed), and as a result, she did NOT "fall victim to the infamous rule of two".
-"Savage would eventually become an apprentice to Darth Maul, and a Sith Lord himself." Savage was NOT a Sith Lord.
-"List wouldn't be complete without Grievous." Well, it would have been if you bothered to include more actual Sith lords.
-Puts Dooku below Maul, despite the fact the Jedi even once questioned if they were in league as master and apprentice. And guess who they believed was the master? Yup, Dooku. Who was more powerful.
-"Dooku became Sidious apprentice once the galactic civil war started". Also wrong, since the Galactic Civil War started officially 17 years after Dooku's death, in 2 BBY.
-"Darth Maul became one of the most powerful Sith to ever live." Sure, if you make sure to include Vader, Palpatine, Dooku, Nihilus, Vitiate, Revan, Possibly Momin, Malgus, Plagueis, and probably many more from the Old Republic, who's counting, right?
-Considering Momin was able to outmatched an arguably battle worn Darth Vader, it's shameful how he is below the Grand Inquisitor, who BTW were toyed with by Vader.
-Forgets Darth Bane exist despite even mentioning the rule of two.
Obviously this list is only focusing on Canon Sith (And dark side force users, and dark Jedi and others like the Knights of Ren and Grievous). But it'd be nice if you included that in the title, ESPECIALLY when you have Darth Nihilus in the thumbnail!
Xenomorph (Alien) VS Runner (Alien 3) VS Newborn (Alien: Resurrection) VS Grid (Aliens vs. Predator) VS Predalien (Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem) VS Neomorph (Alien Covenant)
Bro forgot bane nihilis exar tulak and vishite😂
0:19 right off bat Vader,Palpatine/Sidious,Maul/Opress and Dooku. Maybe and a alternate universe Yoda.
I think we all know list is atrocious,
But even the villains included they are so wrongly placed i mean tyrannous below maul really !!
I don't know why Sidious didn't want to rule over Mandalore after defeating Maul.
Because he wanted to rule the galaxy
Bob Iger and Kathleen kennedy are obviously #1 and 2 on this list.
Darth reven is the most powerful sith and he was also the most powerful jedi
Darth reven's will was so strong he brought him self back to life
In Canon force wise in current powers Tyrannus was higher then even Late Clone Wars Maul as was Vader yeah.
Imagine if Luke did join Vader to combat and dethrone Sidious. What would the Stars Wars universe look like after ROJ.?
DanCo can you do the strongest Jedi from Star Wars Legends?
ranking would basically be the same
After this horrific list? I don't want this dude within a million miles of Star Wars content.
Nooo! He doesn’t need to cook again
inquisitors are not sith
True
Sidious > Crate > Viciant > Snoke > Vader > Reven > Plageus > Traya > Nilus > Sion > Bane > Momin > Malagus > Dooku > Maul > Kaylo > Bailin > Savadge > Talon > Ventress > Grand Inquisitor > Inquisitors.
Simply Wrong
altough incomplete, the ranking is actually one of the better I have seen!
i feel like shin should be alot higher than most inquisitors
What places would Darths Andedu, Vitiate, Nihilus, Bane, and Zana hold?
this was one of, if not your worst, ranking videos to date. Maybe if you'd called it a Disney cannon dark-sider ranking, but even still....
Maúlla over dooku its straight up a crime
-eight brother left the chat
- marrok left the chat
What happened to Star Wars? Why are we always talking about light sabers and Jedi? It was a great story that had Jedi and light sabers. Leave it up to Disney. I DONT CARE
Bro Ventress beat Dooku. HE HAD FOUR SABERS AND LOST.
You mean Greivous?
@@jkgaming0565 Yeah, sorry for the mistake
Puts the inquisitors and even General Grievous on the list, but no mention of Darth Krayt, Revan, Bane, Valkorion, Tulak Hord or even Marka Ragnos?
Marka Ragnos should have been somewhere on the list since during his reign, it was considered the Golden Age of the Sith, the Sith were generally at peace until his death. The great hybrid, being half-Sith, half-human, he was incredibly powerful in both the Force and lightsaber combat. Even as a Force spirit, he was still incredibly powerful, having a presence up until his spirit was defeated at the hands of Kyle Katarn after the battle of Endor.
EDIT: Darth Bane should have also been mentioned on this list since, like Ragnos, he was incredibly powerful physically and in the Force. Even using the Force subconciously to aid him at his most critical moments, like when he was blinded by a flashbang and managed to completely clear out an outpost of Republic soldiers with a sniper rifle without missing a shot. Let's not forget about when he faced 4 Jedi Masters, 1 of whom was channeling battle meditation to a relative stand still, true, he had armor made of orbalisks to protect him and of them had to break off from Bane to engage Zannah to protect the Jedi channeling battle meditation, but it is still an impressive feat. His teachings also led to Palpatine overthrowing the Republic and creating the Galactic Empire. Darth Bane also had knowledge of one of the most powerful Force abilities: the Thought Bomb, taught to him by Darth Revan himself (via a holocron).
The thumbnail is bait and switch. 😤
I have a question, would professor Hulk be able to defeat thanos in infinitywar?
I don't know how Darth Vader is not number one on this list we had a plan of the string bass from outer space taking one shot the planet with just one beam shot
My boy sidious would give every sith the hands in the old republic!! It would have been dope to watch him and vitiate battle it out for the throne.
Inquisitors weren't Sith. They were just fallen Jedi tortured by Vader into becoming soldiers of the Galactic Empire. Any one can use the dark side of the force. The Sith were specifically trained and believed in very specific doctrine and also obeyed a hierarchy.
how many are these are you going to make? this video has been made at least 4 times
I feel like anybody with the title of "Darth" should instantly be above any inquisitor or Acolyte.
Maul was NOT more powerful than Dooku.
Is there any characters that would be legit immune to the One Ring? And not just have limited resistance to it?
I have a video idea: cheetah v tiagra canary vs widow and one more which is deathstroke v taskmaster
In Legends, none is more powerful than ancient Sith Lords, especially Vader and Sidious and Grandmaster Luke included.
RIP to Rey Stevenson..Baylan was a cool character and had a lot of potential..
Maul took out an entire ship engine by using the force, Survived being cut in Half, and survived seven years on Malacore. Sure Ahsoka beat him, but it there is still a good amount of evidence to put him above Dooku.
I’m sorry when did Cal Kestis fight the 5th brother I do not remember his boss fight in any of the games
Vader cannot overcome the Sidious. He killed Palpatine by surprise. Vader is a crippled Anakin Skywalker. Far from his full potential
I pretty much agree with kylo ren's placement. But that just makes it that much more ridiculous that Rey beat him in the first movie. A draw at least. He was at the height of his power and he couldn't beat someone that learned what the force was like an hour ago? He trained under mf'in LUKE and Snoke. Smh disney.
Ik he was injured. But he absolutely embarrassed Finn. A soldier trained from birth who is probably force sensitive himself.... but he couldn't beat a street fighter. it's just ridiculous
-Daredevil vs Deadshot.
Homelander vs Skullcrawlers
Suggestions:
Saiyans in Dragon Ball ranked from weakest to strongest
Airbenders in Avatar ranked from weakest to strongest
League of Assassins members ranked from least to most skilled
Ranking Wonder Woman Copycats from weakest to strongest
Are you Talking only about Kanon or did you forget so the ancient Sith like revan malgus bane nihilus and vitiate who lived 1500 years and killed entire Planets without even having a body.
Darth Sidious Palpatine is so powerful that he was defeated by a little girl who had only been training for like 1 year, simply by her redirecting his Star Destroyer-lifting darkside force powers back at him with her light saber...God, Episode 9 is a complete turd.
A lot of these (inquisitors, Kylo, Shin) aren’t Sith. Sith is more of a religion than a lightsaber color
Darth Vader is most powerful. He's an expert Swordman for Lightsaber. He has powerful force powers. Just like Darth Revan, Count Dooku, Darth Maul, and Kylo Ren. There's more powerful Sith Lords has forces powers. Darth Vader was a popular villain in Star Wars history.
Some one else pointed it out in the comments but this is based on cannon characters.
You Should mention that this is a canon list. In Legends a lot of sith have worthy feats, scalings and statements to be the Most powerful sith. It’s a neuer-Ending debate. In Canon it’s obvious that Vader and Sidious are the Most powerful ones. By the way, a lot of characters on this List are just darkside users, Not members of the sith order.
I know they aren’t on this list due to them not being canon, but I have to give a shoutout to the KOTOR Sith.
Revan
Sion
Nihilus
Traya
(Sorry, but Malak was a *ussy)
I've always had a serious problem with the idiotic name "Snoke" -who tf came up with that name??
You’re missing the entire ancient Sith before Darth Bane and I believe you’re missing bane him self. Pretty much everything to do with legends characters that were Darkside. You completely left out. A lot of those legend characters are way more powerful than anybody in the top 10 on your list. Minus sidious and vader.
bro grievous isn't even force sensitive
So Starkiller is just excluded from this list?
How did you not rank reven ?
Sith Inquisitors aren't Sith Lords, the clue is in the name Sith Inquisitor
Baylin Skoll should be much higher on this list
he shouldn't even be on the list he is not a sith
Just because you are in the dark side does not make you a Sith.
Grievous killed more Jedi than Darth Vader?
i miss the dark counsel in this list and and the old masters
Bro nearly half of these aren't even Sith, they're just dark siders. A Sith is a more specific order and ideology.
And then we have General Grievous...
@@petermacmillan2428 Right! Got so distracted by the other I forgot him
unfortunate that u did take one from comics but no sith empire stuff. i also hoped to see only sith and not overall dark side users xD. and dooku is just stronger that maul.
Most of these people aren't even Sith let alone Sith lords.
Who is the most strongest Marvel luminaries characters: weakest To strongest PLEASE
Hey man can you do ghost rider vs Godzilla please it’s a good fight come on please make that fight.
Juggernaut could probably dope slap the weakest of Sith Lords.
Now way you out Kylo Wren above Greivous and Savage! He should be 11th at the highest and Dooku should be top 3. Never cook again
Bro put kylo so high he isn't a sith
Valkorian is the most powerful sith. Come on Daniel, you left off quite a few. Revan, Caedus, Krate and Bane.
Knight Fall Vader vs WBW Anakin
So where does tenebrious rank?
You missed so many of the strongest sith lords like soooooo many.
No way the 3rd sister was above the seventh sister and fifth brother
Exactly. Fifth Brother literally casually grabs Reva and manhandles her with the Force in the Obi-Wan show.
Most of these weren’t even sith, the inquisitors, grievous, Quinlan Voss and mother talzin are not sith. Asajj and Savage is kind of a grey area, more so just assassins since they were the apprentices of Dooku who was the apprentice of Sidious, which there can only be two sith at a time. Just like the inquisitors, they were essentially force sensitive soldiers while sidious and Vader were the sith.
Bro why is there no Darth malgus, Darth Revan, Darth Malak, Darth bane, Darth krate, Darth nihilus, Darth talon, Star lord, Darth tenebrous, Darth traya, Lumiya, and more but most importantly, Darth Jar Jar.
Ummm, where's Darth Vitiate👀
