Zayne becoming Nihilus I both want and do not want. I want it because it would be the greatest tragedy in Star Wars history... I don't want it because I genuinely like Zayne and want him to be okay.

Well, I'd like the final panel of the KOTOR comic to be the burning Endar Spire over Taris.
Good idea, it'd be a great note to end on... if KotOR ever does end. I half hope it won't.

If he was really to become someone from the game, I would want him to become Revan, but I know that's not really possible.

Well, so far, Alek promised to stay with Zayne & co. So, you never know whom they might encounter on their quest to the Sanctum of the Exalted.
Ah, the beginning of the Zayne Alek friendship. Partnership? Journey to a place full of Sith artefacts... Zayne might as well turn out to be Revan. Which would make the Revanchist we all saw Kreia.
Someone make this canon already! 
I like it in theory, but it'd take some*heavy* retconning and reinterpretation. It would basically mean overruling the game information completely. Or, at least, assuming that the Masters were lying to you about Revan's past.
It'd also make "Revan as Kreia's first pupil" interesting. First *Sith* pupil, perhaps?
Vandar: I knew Revan as a promising young padawan... Revan was strong in the Force, but also headstrong and proud. (That's why we didn't tell him how good he was)
Kreia: When Revan was coming into his own... and learning that he was more than he had been told.
Dun dun duuuunnnnn.

Zayne as Revan? Holy rusted metal, Batman! 
That would really be quite ingenious. I totally doubt its going to happen but... wow.
Hmm... Alek is much taller than Zayne thinking about it.

Yes, Alek is taller than Zayne. It came to my mind as soon as I saw Flashpoint, there were a couple of good cameos of the two.

Exactly. It would be brilliant! If Zayne would have to turn out to be anyone from the games, he should be Revan!
However, I'm not sure how likely it is for this theory to be true.
Lots of things fit, but on the other hands there are lot of things which don't work out well. One of the major ones being why wouldn't Carth recognize Zayne-Revan in the game? He never saw Revan's face, so he doesn't know his identity, but he saw Zayne. He's Zayne's friend and therefore he ought to recognize him.

I don't think Zayne could be Revan, because we saw Revan with (M)Alek in a scene already. Now, Zayne probably is one of the other Sith Lords, like Nihilius, I'd wager.
Also, I don't think we can see Revan as a full blown villain, or even a character, because they'd have to nail down what he looks like and that would just tick off all the picky gamers who want to think THEIR version of the character is the right one..... 
...but then again, Revan did have a full body suit on in his Sith days so...hm...

I don't think Zayne could be Revan, because The Essential Guide to the Force said he can't be. 
Even if that wasn't set in stone, however, I still wouldn't want Zayne to end up being Revan; that theory hasn't made sense since the first issue.

^ Catherine's right.
It flat out doesn't make sense. Unless they're intending to overwrite the game's plot as it currently stands.
I've got a wacky theory that Atton is an amnesiac Zayne.

Oh, I think Zayne is plenty strong.
Haazen: Why didn't you tell us about your padawan's... unique connection to the Force?
He's got something going on with him, that much is certain.
Heh. It'd be kinda funny if he had a Highlander thing going on. Strikes down a master and then absorbs their Force power.

Which is why Zayne can not become Darth Nihilius.

^ Dude. Zayne shares many qualities with the Jedi Exile. Nihilus is said to be what the Jedi Exile would have become had she "gone down a different track".
I wouldn't start celebrating Zayne's freedom from a horrific fate just yet.

Characters and people can grow and become stronger. Just because he might not be strong enough now doesn't mean he couldn't become later. Also using the dark side would help him in that area.

The series is....eight years before the first KotOR game? That's a heck of a long time for a comic to cover. Unless they start doing some pretty significant "time skips" it'll be a good long time before we see Revan in full-on Sith Lord mode.
Oh, and if Zayne = Nihilus, then This Comic Series = Crap. Aren't the novels depressing enough for some of you folks?

Heh. It'd be kinda funny if he had a Highlander thing going on. Strikes down a master and then absorbs their Force power.
So... at Malachor he consumes the power of an entire world's worth of people?
I must admit though that while I originally was rooting for Zayne to become Nihilus that after Caedus I think I'd sooner have Zayne simply be a true hero. Legacy is giving me my dark side comics fix, I think I like that KOTOR balances it with a much more happy-go-lucky feel.
Maybe its just because Nihilus would be such a tragic end though... which would be a painful end for Zayne. If done well though, it could work. I pray we see Nihilus's origins in KOTOR at least, as I will be very disappointed if we only get Malak (and Sion... probably) so want to see Nihilus... but apart from Zayne I'm really not sure who he could be yet.

Closer to seven now. Well, I dunno. It depends when in 3956 the game takes place.

Disagree. If Zayne = Nihilus, then the ending of this This Comic Series = Incredibly Powerful Tragedy
Besides, it'll be years off if it happens and, depressing as it would be, I think the trade off of having told the most tragic story in Star Wars history would be worth it.
Like I said, I'm torn between my love for Zayne and desire to see him live a long, happy life... and my desire to see a tragedy on an epic scale. Still, if it's going to happen, then it was going to happen from the start. And while I'm starting to think I imagined it (I can't *find* it anywhere), I have the strangest memory of Dark Horse saying some years ago that they would explore Nihilus' past.
So... 
Still, like I said, I could have imagined/dreamt that.

There was that poll on the official site about with Sith Lord people wanted written about which I think Nihilus won... are you thinking of that or was something else too?
