I will get straight to the point. The idea that maul is completely outclassed by vader is completely stupid and i dont care what you say. Proof Number 1: Maul literally had the upper hand for the majority of his and vader's fight. Yes this may just seem like it's invalid given's maul's fighting style is pure aggression and overwhelming speed. But remember. Anakin specifically studdied maul's fighting style, obsessed with how his master survived against maul, and even used everything he learned to have a training bot be perfectly able to replicate maul's fighting style meaning vader basically fully knew maul's entire moveset and still got overwhelmed in the majority of the start. Number 2. Palpatine aka sidious FEARED him. during the Clone Wars, when Maul successfully united the underworld and conquered Mandalore, Sidious didn't send an army of clones or an Inquisitor to clean up the mess. No. He got out of his chair, personally flew across the galaxy, and handled it himself. In fact. Palpatine explicitly stated that Maul had become a genuine rival to the Sith order. For an immortal dark-side god who treats entire planets like chess pieces to view a single, flesh-and-blood mortal as a "rival" is one of the biggest showings of acknowledgement of power. Number 3. The sheer amount of opponents maul has faught is insane. here is a little fact. maul is one of the very few who has fought multiple other siths, countless jedi masters at once, and even wiped out an entire storm troopers army using nothing but the force. No lightsaber at all. Not to mention . i dont think a single other character has fought that large variety of opponents. Vader has faught multiple jedi yes. But multiple siths and an entire trooper army? NO. he has not. Meaning maul has arguably multiple times more combat experience than vader ever has. And number 4. (This is definitely the least fact). he was also one of the least humorized in lego games. All im trying to say is. STOP DOWNPLAYING MAUL FOR GODS SAKE

if you ask me. the strongest is every catherine. Every Cathrine is to my knowledge the strongest thing we have ever seen. Since She is a literal spectral who can choose to use a physical form, is the living embodyment of a literal concept of existence (the concept of Cathrine's existence in all mirror worlds) and as i already said. Basically a fourth dimensional being. And sure while the sinners still pale in comparison to the librians which includes binah. every Cathrine is basically a 4'th dimensional entity. plus. and is the only ID we know of to be possibly classified as a four dimensional entity. and in short. Every Cathrine is the concept of a specific person's (Cathrine) existence given a physical body. It would just be stupid if a literal concept given physical form wasnt the strongest of it's verse. not to mention she was even letting herself take extra damage from heathcliff's attacks. she is basically stronger than a golden boughs which are basically extremely volitaile wishing stars which grants extra power than increases in volume upon merging with the golden bough depending on your already pre-existing strength. and the golden boughs are basically singularities that can do anything even if it's mostly a one time use. and can even rival the head as strongly hinted at by dong-beak's ambition to use the golden bough for. to take down every corrupt in the entire wing which would include claws (i just simplified her goal). and as i said. if going all out. every Cathrine might even be above, at least on the same level of power as a golden bough. plus here is one thing the head didn't account for with golden boughs. golden boughs are no longer singularities they control. they are reminants of abnormality and distortion energy. not singularity energy. plus while the head is smart they completely underestimated the library as seen in library of ruina in the final reception. so it's not uncommon to asume they underestimated how powerful a golden bough was aswell. and what if she might be dependent on it's output? the golden bough doesn't even have a limit. just like distortions and E.G.O. there is Absolutely no limit to the power you recieve. it is entirely dependent on your own current strength when recieving the power from the golden bough. this means more likely that not Cathrine could use the full limitless power of the golden bough (since it's an infinite power and energy source) given she isn't restricted by the regular limitations of how much power you can recieve from a golden bough. she is limited by the complete max output of the golden bough. which is seemingly infinite because as i said, the power you gain from a golden bough is directly based on your already existing power level. if you are technically manifested by it and needs to use the power of the golden bough to even exist. you technically dont have a limit for the amount of energy the golden bough can grant you. this is the case with every Cathrine. Though that might just be exesive glaze at that point. I dunno. But eh. What can ya' do?.
