Bendu (Star Wars)

— Bendu

## Summary

**Bendu** is a powerful Force wielding entity residing on the remote Outer Rim world of Atollon. An imposing and ancient being, he claims to represent the center of the Force in that he is aligned to neither the Light Side nor the Dark Side. This is proven by the fact that he can manipulate both Jedi and Sith holocrons.

## Powers and Stats

**Tier:** **7-C**

**Name:** Bendu

**Origin:** Star Wars

**Gender:** Male

**Age:** Unknown, likely thousands of years (Has been described as "ancient" and seems intimate with philosophies of the Force and concepts that date as far back the early days of the Jedi Order)

**Classification:** Force Adept

**Powers and Abilities:**

* Abilities
* Resistances
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Large Size (At least Type 1, possibly 2), Telepathy (Speaks to Kanan from the other side of the planet), Telekinesis (Levitates a sith holocron), Animal Manipulation (While talking with Kanan, he makes small animals come to him), Weather Manipulation (Caused a lightning storm that destroyed invading Imperial forces, and some rebels on Atollon), Elemental Manipulation (When enraged Bendu was able to levitate the rocks and affect the ground, shoot and manipulate lighting as well as create smoke and fire out of his eyes), Clairvoyance (Sees Kanan through the eyes of a couple big Spiders), Precognition (Foresaw Thrawn’s defeat), Intangibility (Incorporeal beings are naturally Intangible), Immortality (Type 1), Non-Corporeal (Isn’t a physical being as he later showed to still be present even after abandoning his corporeal form), Enhanced Senses (Senses conflict within Kanan. Senses people dying), Extrasensory Perception (Senses Kanan’s presence and calls it a violent storm), Self-Sustenance (Type 1, 2 and 3. Bendu is an Incorporeal entity that does not require breathing, resting, eating, drinking and sleeping to survive), Flight/Levitation (As a cloud Bendu naturally flies above the ground), Teleportation (Teleports away from Kanan and Ezra), Technology Manipulation (Far superior to Ezra who controlled an AT-ST from the outside and made it fall down a hill)

 Resistance to Corruption (Opened the sith holocron unharmed, which according to Kanan was corrupting and changing Ezra when he opened it), Mind Manipulation, Telepathy and Telekinesis (Force Barrier can protect a Force user from being affected by the powers of other Force users, such as Mind Trick or Force Choke.)

**Attack Potency:** At least **Town level** (His lightning blasts are powerful enough to destroy an AT-AT walker and fully shielded starfighters in one shot. Capable of unleashing simultaneous blasts which can take out two AT-ATs together), likely **far higher** (Is a Force wielder the likes of which Kanan has never encountered and one which, by his own admission, is beyond the capacity of the Imperial Navy to destroy. Bendu is much much superior to Kanan and Ezra who could use the Force to move large asteroids.)

**Speed:** **Subsonic** (Should be much much stronger then A New Hope Luke, who can dodge blaster fore from Boba Fett from close range) , at least **Massively Hypersonic+** combat speeds and reactions augmented by precognition (A vastly superior Force Adept compared to the likes of Kanan Jarrus and one the likes of which he has never encountered before)

**Lifting Strength:** **Class 5** possibly **Class 10**, at least **Class M** with telekinesis (Vastly more powerful than the likes of Kanan Jarrus and Ezra Bridger who could use the Force to move large asteroids)

**Striking Strength:** **Town Class**

**Durability:** At least **Town level** (Required concentrated fire from two AT-AT walkers to bring him down [each such walker being more than capable of destroying something like a Kom'rk-class Fighter with a single blast from their heavy laser cannons and punching through the armour of other AT-ATs] and was still conscious and able to speak after this. His Immortality and being an Incorporeal being makes him difficult to kill), possibly **far higher** (Stated to Thrawn and his forces that he was a creature far beyond their power to destroy)

**Stamina:** Infinite (Is an Incorporeal being that does not need a physical form)

**Range:** Planetary (Spoke to Kanan from the other side of the planet Atollon. And can see through the eyes of the spiders that surrounded Kanan from the other side of the planet Atollon. He also caused the entire planet’s weather to change)

**Standard Equipment:** None notable

**Intelligence:** Genius (Possesses centuries if not millennia of experience and knowledge when it comes to the Force and the philosophies which study it. Is a very wise and capable mentor. Learned Kanan how to “see” while he was blind)

**Weaknesses:** None notable

**Notable Attacks/Techniques:**

* **Telepathy:** Bendu seems to be a highly capable telepath. He was able to communicate telepathically with Kanan Jarrus despite the Jedi being in a focused meditative state.
* **Telekinesis:** Bendu can use the Force to literally put his mind over matter. With this ability, he can blast away or disarm enemies, defend himself with telekinetic barriers, hurl debris at enemies to distract or outright bombard them, etc. He has a degree of control which is enough to delicately manipulate holocrons.
* **Animal Bond:** With this ability, the user can connect their will to the wills of the non-sentient fauna around them and even dominate the will of the fauna. Bendu can use this ability to connect with the Krykna native to Atollon.
* **Intangibility:** Bendu can seemingly turn into a cloud of smoke and fly away.
* **Levitation/Flight:** Bendu possesses the ability to fly. He can fly away as a cloud of smoke and stay suspended in the atmosphere in physical form. Whether he can actually fly at high speed while in physical form remains unknown.
* **Earth Manipulation:** When enraged by Kanan Jarrus, his rage was such that the ground beneath him began to crack and chunks of earth began swirling around him.
* **Weather Manipulation:** Bendu can create a massive storm cloud that can stretch all the way to the horizon. He generates the storm cloud around his physical body and also forms a likeness of his face complete with glowing flame-like eyes.
* **Lightning Manipulation:** Bendu can unleash extremely powerful lightning blasts from his storm. Said blasts are powerful enough to destroy fully shielded starfighters and even AT-AT walkers.
* **Precognition:** Capable of seeing years into the future. Told Thrawn that he could foresee his defeat and demise.
