Kane is a manipulative mastermind - not a warlord. Now, I can't really see Kane beating Illidan in a full out physical brawl That's just not what Kane does. Illidan on the other hand is one of the most powerful sorcerers in the Arcane arts and hunts demons by using demonology against them- He was a badass even BEFORE he gets empowered with demonic energies. When GDI is 'hitting' Kane in with their Ion Cannon, are they really? Was Kane even really there? Who knows, this dude knows how to plan and lead his troops, AND lead his enemies astray. He's a 'magician' and his enemies are the act - He will use his mind to manipulate his enemies to THINK they know what he is doing and in all reality is ahead of them the entire time. Kane is a superior leader and mastermind behind the grand scheme of things. who will win?īeing a fan of both characters and respecting each equally, I will give you the most fair analysis I can. He harnesses the vast energies and memories of the Skull of Gul'dan, and has received Sargeras' arcane tattoo. Once an unusually gifted sorcerer, the extent of his powers became difficult to classify due to his powers increasing in large bursts as a demon hunter and having absorbed the powers of the Skull of Gul'dan. He was born a night elf, and as stated by Maiev Shadowsong, became 'neither demon nor night elf, but something more'. On the other hand, Illidan, the Betrayer is also another immortal being, living for over 10,000 years. Despite living for millennias, Kane's look remain constant.

Kane is known to have been living for over centuries. In addition, most sources places his IQ at least 192 and he is the charismatic leader of the Brotherhood of Nod. Kane is known to have survived an Ion Cannon Strike, and he even survived despite being stabbed by a Tiberium crystal. Kane saw Illidan and taunted him, making the Betrayer loses his temper and attacks Kane. Imagine if Kane was warped right in front of Illidan after accidentally activating an old Chronosphere.

Peace through power kane
