Can we just take a second to appreciate that the only Jedi who ever scared Plagueis with what he could do was Qui-Gon Jinn?

…

Maul had to kill Qui-Gon, to keep the boy from being trained.

Qui-Gon was the key to everything.

With the cowl of his hood raised, he moved to one of the stationary macrobinocular posts and pressed his eyes to the cushioned eye grips. Qui-Gon Jinn, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the boy had arrived at the platform in a Jedi ship; Amidala, her handmaidens and guards, and a loose-limbed Gungan in an open-topped hemispherical air taxi. Just then the latter group was ascending the starship’s boarding ramp, but Qui-Gon and the round-faced desert urchin had stopped short of the ship to speak about something.

What? Plagueis asked himself. What topic has summoned such an earnest look to Qui-Gon’s face, and such confused urgency in the boy?

Lifting his face from the macrobinoculars, he stretched out with the Force and fell victim to an assault of perplexing images: ferocious battles in deep space; the clashing of lightsabers; partitions of radiant light; a black-helmeted cyborg rising from a table … By the time his gaze had returned to the platform, Qui-Gon and the boy had disappeared.

Trying desperately to make some sense of the images granted him by the Force, he stood motionless, watching the starship lift from the platform and climb into the night.

He fought to repress the truth.

The boy would change the course of history.

Unless …

Maul had to kill Qui-Gon, to keep the boy from being trained.

Qui-Gon was the key to everything.

Right, but this thread is about the only Jedi who could scare Plagueis with what they could do, and in this case, with Jinn, it was making sure Anakin didn't go to the Sith (as you literally just elaborated on). So, no, the OP is right, the only Jedi who scared Plagueis with what he could do was Qui-Gon making your "not really" kinda pointless.

As it is framed, the original post compares Qui-Gon to Mace, Yoda and the Council. In other words, what Qui-Gon can personally do to Hego in a direct confrontation.
