==Summary==
Count Dooku, also known as Darth Tyranus or Lord Tyranus, was a Human Jedi Master and the former Padawan of Jedi Grand Master Yoda as well as the official head of state of the Confederacy of Independent Systems. Once one of the most respected members of the Jedi Order, the death of his former Padawan, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, as well as the corruption he saw in the Republic left him disillusioned with the Order, resulting in his departure and fall to the Dark Side. He eventually fell under the sway of Darth Sidious, becoming the Dark Lord's second apprentice and an exceedingly dangerous foe of the order he once served.

Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Even before turning to the dark side, Dooku was one of the most powerful Jedi the Order had ever produced. Mace Windu during the Clone Wars. Outmatched Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress, even killing the latter with a sustained burst of force lightning. Has fought Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi at the same time, could also fight Ventress and two other Nightsisters while slightly poisoned and with eyes closed. Darth Maul after having much of his life energy drained by Mother Talzin. Fought Yoda, though the latter was most likely trying to capture him, and he has proved far inferior to Sidious) | Planet level (Was also one of the most powerful Jedi the Order had ever produced. Is also roughly comparable to but weaker than Darth Vader by word of Sidious, and should be above the likes of High Council members such as Yarael Poof)
Speed: Subsonic running speeds with Force Speed, Massively Hypersonic+ combat speeds, and reactions augmented by precognition (Should be superior to the likes of Kit Fisto, who was able to put up a defense against an onslaught from Darth Sidious for several seconds before going down. Mace Windu and Yoda were considered the only two Jedi capable of matching or overcoming him in a lightsaber duel at the start of the Clone Wars) | Relativistic (Is a peer of Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Darth Maul); FTL Combat and Reaction Speed (Described by narration as swinging his Lightsaber at faster than light speedsAttack of the Clones Novelization)
Lifting Strength: Peak Human naturally. Can be augmented to Superhuman levels with the Force (Can manhandle and toss around Anakin with just one arm). Class M with telekinesis (Far superior to Season 1 of Rebels Kanan Jarrus. Casually telekinetically lifted 14+ solid stone obelisks) | Peak Human naturally. Can be augmented to Superhuman levels with the Force. Class G with telekinesis (Should not be inferior to the likes of Shaak Ti and should thus be comparable to Galen Marek)
Striking Strength: Multi-City Block level with Force amplification (Can harm Obi-Wan Kenobi with his blows) | Planet level with Force amplification (Capable of trading blows with Obi-Wan Kenobi)
Durability: Wall level naturally (Scaling from other Force Adepts). Multi-City Block level with Force amplification (Can defend against and deflect his own Force Lightning) | Street level naturally. Planet level with Force amplification (Can deflect his own Force Lightning. Should be superior to Yarael Poof)
Stamina: Very high (As a former Jedi Master and a powerful Dark Lord of the Sith, Dooku's stamina greatly exceeded what is considered normal for a man of his advanced age. However, protracted battles where he is forced to defend himself against an aggressive and powerful opponent can drain his stamina far more quickly)
Range: Extended Melee Range with lightsaber; Tens of Meters with Force powers; Interstellar with telepathy and Force senses (Should be comparable if not superior in this aspect to the likes of Obi-Wan and Ventress, and also the likes of the Grand Inquisitor) | Extended Melee Range with lightsaber; Tens of Kilometers with telekinesis (Should be comparable if not superior to the likes of Saesee Tiin, who could telekinetically hurl B2 super battle droids up to 4 km away); Stellar with Force powers (Per the Force Secret "distant power"); Galactic with telepathy.
Standard Equipment: His unique curved hilt lightsaber (it had a blue crystal when he was still a Jedi but sported a red crystal after his turn to the Sith)
Intelligence: One of the finest lightsaber duelists ever produced by the Jedi Order, Dooku is a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield. Although he possessed in-depth knowledge of all seven lightsaber forms, he specialized in the use of Makashi, the second official lightsaber form. As such his bladework is tailor-made for facing others in single combat. Nevertheless, he easily overwhelmed both Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, both renowned duelists in their own right, in their first encounter despite taking both Jedi at the same time. His masterful bladework emphasizes speed and economy of movement to breach any gap in his foes' defenses, making fools of both of the Jedi who faced him due to their comparatively clumsy skill with a lightsaber. At the time of his departure from the order, Dooku was also among the only Jedi alive who could best Mace Windu in a spar with Jedi Grand Master Yoda as his only other peer. He was also an excellent teacher, having been the instructor of the well-respected Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn as well as the infamously successful Jedi Hunter General Grievous, the latter of whom matched several Jedi Knights and Masters at once under Dooku's tutelage. He was also incredibly skilled in the Force, being a master of telekinesis, telepathy, Force Healing, Force Valor, Qey'tek meditation, and other disciplines, skills he retained and even strengthened after falling to the Dark Side. In addition to his dueling prowess and mastery of the Force, Dooku is a cunning strategist, diplomat, and politician, scoring enough victories over the Jedi and the Republic to turn the Clone Wars into a stalemate despite their best efforts and swaying numerous nations to the Separatist cause.
Weaknesses: Like all Sith, Dooku suffers from a measure of overconfidence, particularly showcased during his final battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, not anticipating how much their power and skills had grown nor did he expect Sidious' ultimate betrayal. Dooku's lightsaber dueling form, Makashi, suffers from a critical flaw: raw kinetic power. As a result, opponents who are able to match him in skill and overwhelm him through physical force can drain his Force reserves and physical strength to the point of exhaustion through a protracted battle, leading to his death at Skywalker's hands.
Feats: 
Notable Attacks/Techniques
===Disney Abilities===
*Form II (Makashi): The second form of Lightsaber combat, Makashi was a style breed for Lightsaber combat it was described as elegant and focused, and was based on balance and footwork to outmaneuver opponents. Fluidity and economy of motion were relied on, rather than strength, with Form II blade work heavily utilizing jabs and light cuts rather than hack and slash movements. Although it was designed for Lightsaber combat it wasn't designed for blaster bolt deflects or effectiveness against multiple enemies but Dooku has trained to have an effect in both areas.
*Force Barrier: A defensive Force power that creates a barrier or wall of Force energy around the intended target, be itself, friend, or foe. Depending on the strength of the individual, the barrier could only withstand a few attacks before collapsing.
*Force Lightning: An offensive Force technique that uses Force energy to produce electricity with one or two hands that stream outwards from the fingertips, its speed is usually great enough to catch an opponent off-guard even when prepared, and can be used either in bursts or simply torrent out in an a gush of agony on its victim.
*Telekinesis: Darth Tyranus can use this through the Force to put his mind literally over matter, capable of blasting opponents, shielding himself, or disarming people, its limits are only those of the creativity that Force User has. Darth Tyranus has demonstrated considerable prowess with the power, even overpowering a telekinetic blast from Anakin Skywalker after he had ascended to the rank of Jedi Knight.
*Telepathy: Can easily manipulate others mentally with the Force to trick, deceive, maim, or even kill outright. Darth Tyranus has a considerable mastery over this power, able to probe for hidden thoughts in the minds of others and learn them for himself.
*Memory Manipulation: Capable of erasing and even altering a target's memories. Can do so against normal weak-willed sentients with a mere gesture, but a Force sensitive target requires more powerful persuasion and even Force-based mental torture. Manipulated Asajj Ventress's memories; made her believe that her master - Jedi Knight Ky Narec - murdered her adoptive father figure and used her for his own ends.
*Tutaminis: Through the Force, Darth Tyranus can draw potentially harmful energy into his body and diffuse it or channel it away completely. Darth Tyranus demonstrated this power when he used the Force to deflect his own Force Lightning.
