If we can count the Halo games as fully canon (which I most certainly do) Master Chief with the help of marines and SPARTAN 4s accross the shield world manages to defeat the Ur-Didact, although I agree John is incredibly (incredibly) skilled remember, a singe Astartes can run as fast as a modern car when at full speed, their armour makes your average SPARTAN armour look like tissue paper, a boltgun should in fact deal more damage than a SPARTAN laser, and not to mention that a Space Marine would be physically much stronger... Excuse me? the reason why the Didact lost was due to arragonce, plot, and the fact that he was driven mad by the Primordial. And astartes? Pfft, in Spacebattles and Factpile it was concluded that Space marine armor is only rated as a class-3 while a Forerunner civilian armor is rated at class-8... guess what type of armor the Didact got, a class-20 armor.

And please no wanking, a bolter is not on par with a Splaser, a Splaser is rated as strong if not stronger than a Lascannon. The Didact took an equivelant of a WH40K melta bomb in the gut, and all it did was make him stumble. If this was the Didact at its height, expect the Space marines to be pasted into mush several light-years away while the Didact is sipping tea and watching news.

And 343 said that all Halo books, movies, and games are CANNON.
