pan2000Benjamin is the Arc Villain of S1A2. This almighty vampire was beyond Stormwolf's power level, and he killed Master Toni before Finn exploited Ben's ego and Toni's last lesson.
Now, can Benjamin still be relevant? Whom can he bring down?
Can: Fake Leah
Benjamin had knocked out Leah in one hit, though she was exhausted. Leah's imitator is fast, strong and wields an axe, but she was just lucky to beat two vampires. And Benjamin is more than just a vampire.
Can't: Leah Clearwater
Leah had lost badly against Benjamin, but that was five arcs before. Since then, Leah got much stronger and faster. She has now mighty Mithril armor, which can weaken even silver, can hold her own against Archdemons, has a mighty hammer, her wolf form can speedbiltz even vampires and her hybrid form is even stronger. She would win a rematch.
Can: The Fifth Brother
Before the Force users, the vampires were unstoppable by humans. But Benjamin, being an all-powerful vampire, can and does beat even Force users. The Fifth Brother has enough brute force to beat any rookie, but he is mostly a brute. Benjamin would torch him. Or drown him.
Can't: High Priest Kor
Kor is all but a Sith Lord in terms of power. Killing Vi and crippling Jannah, Kor is an effective fighter who can actually reach the level of the Sith with a Holocron. The reason he will beat Benjamin is that he is a good strategist who nearly killed Finn by catching him off guard and used some axes in the environment to slaughter a few Yuuzhan Vong assassins. Benjamin is almost as strong, but way too cocky.
Can: Ten of Swords
The Ten of Swords has ten bodies and is a very skilled swordsman. But even if all bodies attack at once, Benjamin can't be hurt by them. His wind attacks will ensure he isn't surrounded, and the other three elements will take them out one by one. He can also make a chasm and throw them all in.
Can't: Shuten Doji
Shuten Doji might be brutish when drunk, but good at strategies while sober. While Benjamin's offense is capable of damaging Shuten, the Archdemon is a juggernaut whose Hellfire is superior to normal flames and can evaporate water, and he can smash rocks with his club. He can take a lot of punishment, surviving a beatdown from both Leah and the Poet at their best, so he can survive Benjamin too. Also, if one of his spells connects, Benjamin will remember he is still a vampire.
Can: Lightning Dawn
Lightning is in no way weak. He is extremely fast and can catch up to a vampire, can punch very hard and his Uniforce is destructive. His Enticorn form is even more powerful, able to draw blood from Zant. However, he is not a good strategist. Benjamin, as a vampire, can dodge his attacks, and if Lightning tries to yell a spell, Benjamin will fill his lungs with water or remove the air. His fireballs are also strong enough to burn even enemies with partial magic resistance.
Can't: Rey Skywalker
Sure, he stood a chance against her while she was cocky and thought she was the only hero in the Resistance. Alas, things change. Rey's Force abilities are superior to even Master Toni's and current Finn's, and she started using strategies since joining Stormwolf.
Can: Spike
Spike is Zant's main liutenant, a vampire who can turn his body into spikes. This bloodsucker utilizes his ability to the fullest. However, even though Benjamin can't kill him by stopping his breath (fellow vampire after all), he can just burn him to death.
Can't: Emperor Palpatine
Benjamin might still be very powerful, but not the second best follower of the Dark. Palpatine is a master strategist, controlling both sides of a great war and not getting caught until it's too late. In combat, he can Force Drain, use lightsabers better than most Jedi, cast very hot Force Lightning and is very skilled. He is not durable, but hard to get hit. Considering Finn killed Benjamin by reflecting a fireball, Palpatine would easily do the same.
