Respect the Authority (Update 2.0)
The New Authority Respect Thread
This thread focuses solely on members of The Authority. But it covers all of their Stormwatch appearances, every Authority issue that has come out so far, as well as crossovers and solo runs. Anyone familiar with the old thread will notice large additions to every character, more than double the material in some cases. While I doubt any thread can make the claim of totally comprehensive coverage of a character, this should have every worthwhile appearance and feat ever for the Authority to this point.
Notes:
1. This thread is broken into sections based on the characters.
2. This is merely feats. For anyone unfamiliar with these characters, I’d recommend picking up something of The Authority. They’re Wildstorm comics (owned by DC) and are sweet as hell.
3. My thanks to anyone who contributed scans. Particularly Charlotte DeBel, who contributed more than half of the material for Jack Hawksmoor.
4. This includes all Authority appearances up through May ’08, except for anything past issue #7 in Midnighter’s solo series. Periodic updates will occur to ensure that all relevant feats are posted. I'm not planning any large-scale renovations again after this, or new threads, so it will be incremental instead of large additions.
5. The Wildstorm wiki site I use for bios is a great resource for appearances, and contains accurate though occasionally incomplete info on all the characters. Overall, I felt it was a better site for the Authority than others that exist.
6. Enjoy! There’s scattered respect threads better than this one, but this is an example of how to do one well.
Part I. Apollo
Part II. The Midnighter
Part III. The Engineer
Part IV. Jack Hawksmoor
Part V. Swift
Part VI. Rose Tattoo
Part VII. The Doctor (Part I: Jeroen) (Part II: Habib)
Part VIII. Jenny (Part I: Sparks) (Part II: Quantum)

I. Apollo
Info
Bio: http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...pollo+%28bio%29
Pic: http://img170.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n2wq4.jpg
Description: Basically a Superman type. Uber-charged, he’s probably on par with the big guy, but otherwise a bit lower.
Feats
Clearing the moon with his heat-vision. The 2nd scan shows how it was basically spreading over the entire moon.

http://img511.imageshack.us/my.php?image=58vb.jpg
Minor speed feat. Flying halfway around the world in 30 seconds.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...apollospeed.jpg
Generally being a badass. The 2nd scan is particularly cool because he incinerates a massive group of super-types simply by emitting an aura of heat.

Taking out a series of fighter jets
http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=101io.jpg
Crashes into a space station with a “docking bay the size of a continent”. Judging by that, it’s probably the size of a small planet. He doesn’t destroy it completely, but the size of the explosion is telling and impressive.
http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=113rd.jpg
http://img368.imageshack.us/my.php?image=123dm.jpg
This is from “Countdown: Arena” when Monarch was building his army. An Apollo from Earth-51 (Wildstorm Universe) takes part. He loses his match but we find out he lives. Since Wildstorm itself is a multiverse this may be an alternate Apollo, since I really can’t see how it would fit into WS continuity since he’s in the Monarch’s custody for a while (or maybe they just didn’t care about continuity). Anyway, here he is telling us he can see a grain of sand from space…not bad in the vision department.

http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...attle%203/5.jpg
With his senses, he can detect radiation signatures. Here he identifies a faint radiation mark that indicates a teleportation happened in the recent past
http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=26an9.jpg
After alluding to Superman’s “faster than a speeding bullet” he proceeds to streak across a single panel multiple times, killing a bunch of giant-alien-things.
http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=133gf.jpg
http://img118.imageshack.us/my.php?image=145zr.jpg
A fight with a telepath who gains the strength of those he controls. By this point, he had taken over roughly 70% of the population of Earth, and had previously punched Apollo around the world (before he was charged a bunch). So saying he’s Class Million+ probably isn’t an exaggeration. Apollo also lifts and topples a skyscraper that was taller than any building in Los Angeles.

http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25lr9.jpg
…simply by speedblitzing the Earth, Apollo creates a massive shockwave and explosion to take the thing out, and is fine afterwards.
….
I feel like I need to say some things before these next scans...
Apollo "loses" his first encounter with Captain Atom. He was dominating the exchange, but then CA tricked him into going near the sun so that CA could use his matter manip. to give Apollo a fatal dose of his own power.
Keeping that in mind...
About a page after "losing" to CA, Apollo ignores a direct blast from him. The same one that floored Majestic earlier in the arc.
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=21kv8.jpg
Here's where they trigger the Void inside CA and everything is destroyed. But we see that Apollo's heat vision can crack CA ultra-tough skin:
http://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=22on5.jpg
So.
In normal circumstances (away from the sun), all we see is CA getting tooled, even with his upgrades. I’m not saying Apollo’s > Captain Atom, but it’s something to think about.

II. The Midnighter
Info
Bio: http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...8Lucas+Trent%29
Pic: http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?...fd52a63biv3.jpg
Description: Can run millions of combat variations through his head before a fight even starts, and has implants that allow him to see the enhancements other people have. Also has slightly enhanced strength/healing/agility/etc. Generally just a supreme badass.
Feats
Walking silently on a metal catwalk mere feet away from the replacement Midnighter, who had similarly enhanced senses.
http://img157.imageshack.us/my.php?image=56uv.jpg
Seth snaps MN’er neck, and it barely phases him. He plays dead so that he can rescue Jenny later on.
http://img128.imageshack.us/my.php?image=seth1ht4.jpg
http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=seth2ci9.jpg
Not a great scene for MN’er, but here it’s revealed that he has a backup heart. The one Seth ripped out was later replaced and healed by Angie and the Doctor.
http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=60gz.jpg
General ass-whipping
http://img157.imageshack.us/my.php?image=70lj.jpg
A cool fight where he owns a chick with targeting enhancements implanted within her.
http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=85nr.jpg
http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=93rf.jpg
Another sweet fight. Mortally wounds a beast-thing about 3 times in as many panels that had taken Hawksmoor to school earlier H2H.
http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=101rk.jpg
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=117sh.jpg
A fight alongside a Gen-Active girl, where they trash some no-name henchmen with superhuman upgrades.
http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n25fr6.jpg
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n26rk2.jpg
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n27ep0.jpg
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n28ex8.jpg
He actually has his enhancements blocked in this scan (though he later fortified against such an intrusion: see next feat), but the guy fighting him lists off a few of his lesser-known powers.
http://img504.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n29xl7.jpg
A mixed feat. Here he informs us that his implants are protected from outside tampering, and Jackson King’s inability to affect them confirms this. King is clever enough to negate his implants another way (which allow him to run his combat scenarios), though my opinion is that it would take a telepath with fairly detailed knowledge of how MN’ers powers work in order to accomplish this feat.
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n24kh8.jpg
…btw, MN’er still performs well in the fight after this neutering of his implants. The calculations help, but he’s still very deadly without them.
Showing some alternate-dimension bad guys how the Authority rolls…
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=121hz.jpg
http://img473.imageshack.us/my.php?image=132tr.jpg
With his enhancements, he has telescopic vision, enough to find snipers at over a mile away. It’s also useful because this scan shows how actual information can be shared via Angie’s radio-telepathy, not just words (which is all they normally use it for).
http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?...nners1xavo5.jpg
Captain Atom saying he's never seen someone without powers move as fast as MN'er (which would include, presumably, Batman):
http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25hr9.jpg
A speed feat where he punks a superhuman (who had superhuman speed/strength/flight) and takes a hostage away from him before he has any time to react.
http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m7yr2.jpg
http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m8ah7.jpg
Just some head-splattering ownage
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m9rn1.jpg
An “intellectual” feat. MN’er is beaten, but completely talks a guy out of his entire lifestyle.
http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m10xr9.jpg
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m11xy2.jpg
Takes a kick from the evil Doctor, which sends him hundreds of feet in the air, and is unharmed.
http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m12bu7.jpg
A scan explaining his enhanced immune system
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m13hz8.jpg
In the first scan, we see MN’er analyzing a future version of Apollo to make sure it’s him:
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m15dl3.jpg
…later, we find out it was a trick, but the Apollo impersonator had to alter his person down to his DNA structure in order to fool MN’ers senses. So anything less, and he can detect it.
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m14oh1.jpg
Catches an arrow shot at him at close range
http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m16rj0.jpg
A minor strength feat, but it’s gory as hell, so it’s not for the faint of heart.
http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=spineyw8.jpg
Kills a guy with a nerve strike
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m17xa6.jpg
This is kind of amusing, as he gets frustrated with Jack because he’s having to run millions of combat scenarios a second for hundreds of opponents.
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=m18yk8.jpg
His outfit absorbs light, making him harder to see in the dark
http://img149.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n1th1.jpg
This is a cool fight with some skilled mercenaries. A fun display of his calculating ability.
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n2jc0.jpg

Midnighter continued…
A deceptively psychotic feat. After being ambushed, he removes one of his own teeth with his tongue and spits it at a guy. The shocking part comes when the tooth does more to a concrete pillar than a hail of bullets would.
http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n18yv7.jpg
Defeats Winter, a legit low-herald energy absorber who has stalemated Apollo on numerous occasions:
http://img376.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n24ih2.jpg
Owns Blademaster, a member of Stormwatch
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n5sz6.jpg
This is Midnighter’s stylish and quick pwning of a speedster named Impetus (I think). The first few scans are what Amaze was doing prior to MN’er taking him out…which is basically tooling a lot of people on both the Authority and Stormwatch. With Jenny and Doctor not available, MN’er was the only one capable of dealing with him. A great reflexes feat.
http://img138.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n6op6.jpg

http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n10ua7.jpg
This is mainly a healing feat. He gets shot, exploded, and landed on by a ship. Two pages and a short conversation later, and he’s healed from his wounds.

Fighting a group of young supervillains sent to create havoc. He kills some, dodges others, then communicates with The Carrier to send them all to their graves. He leaves one alive so he can lop his head off.

http://img157.imageshack.us/my.php?image=38xs.jpg
http://img369.imageshack.us/my.php?image=44lo.jpg
This is an extended fight scene from the recent Revolution arc. I’ve skipped the non-fight pages. In it, an evil MN’er, controlled by Henry Bendix, beats the crap out of Apollo, Jack, and The Doctor (the new one). He uses a robot for part of it, but was beating Apollo even without it. He uses a bit of outside help with the “Door” and robot but it’s still a freakishly good feat for a guy who’s supposed to be closer to street-level.
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=144qa.jpg

This is an extremely sweet fight between MN’er and a group of armored tanks. Among other things, he drop-kicks a tank shell away from himself and blocks machine-gun fire with his staff.

III. Angie (Engineer)
Info
Bio: http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...Angela+Spica%29
Pic: http://img512.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n3rs8.jpg
Description: Almost like a GL, except with liquid machinery. She can build nearly anything her advanced intelligence can think of.
Feats
Growing a replacement set of lungs so she could breathe in an inhabitable atmosphere, then creating some big guns out of her hands to fight a giant-turd-thing.
http://img73.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14qa5.jpg
http://img73.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27co.jpg

Industrial-sized bug zappers.

Here she takes the force of an atomic bomb point-blank, and all she says afterwards is “That wasn’t fun.” Also manages to run an internal analysis of the dude before the explosion.

Infects enemy guns with a nano-virus. Also a funny Doctor feat below.
http://img218.imageshack.us/my.php?image=97kk.jpg
A “senses” feat. She scans an entire city instantly for TV broadcasts, radio waves, digital technology, radiation, plasmic disruption, and seismic activity.
http://img340.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20ae6.jpg
Creates a tech-net (for lack of a better term) to capture an enemy

Moments after a botched attempt at sucking off Jack (yes, you heard correctly) she taps into satellite feeds and begins filtering them for information.
http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=21dh7.jpg
Creates an electrical storm to take down a field of jet-fighters.

"Curing" Captain Atom's problem at the sub-atomic level. It worked too, until CA came into contact with the other Void entity.
http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14ig9.jpg
http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=15jd0.jpg
Here's a fight between Angie and CA. Angie was actually getting the better of it until Grifter's cheap shot. It's hard to say who would've won the fight, but this was Void-upgraded CA, so it's reasonable to assume she's at least at normal CA's level, possibly higher.

Owns a Blob clone by flying him into the vacuum of space. Has shown on this, and other, occasions that she doesn’t need to breathe:

http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?...ity14p15rc2.jpg
http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?...ity14p16ra6.jpg
Both a strength and a weakness, she has duplicates destroyed by a specific frequency, but also shows the ability to change their composition so that the same frequency doesn’t work on them. She also emits a sonic attack.
http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n5eb8.jpg
http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n6st2.jpg
Creating radio-telepathy bugs for the entire team:
http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/...attle%201/2.jpg
A display of her processing and storage capacity. All the books on earth can be stored as data in a single drop of her blood.
http://img161.imageshack.us/my.php?...rity1104ni8.jpg
She can create artificial life support systems:
http://img227.imageshack.us/my.php?...eddon101wp2.jpg
…and that, it should be noted, was while considerably depowered.
Uses those same nano-bots to download the Authority into a hive mind, something like a virtual reality world
http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n4zr2.jpg
This one is fairly impressive. Along with creating numerous multiple selves (we’ve seen about 20-30 as a maximum limit for her) she creates an array of solar panels to ward off fireballs from space.
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n1ra1.jpg
She replays the short-term memory of an unconscious man (possibly dead) to gain information from him.
http://img150.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n7hi5.jpg
Arms = rocket launchers
http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?...4rougheren8.jpg
Also a great feat: Angie replicates the Carrier’s caging mechanism for the baby universe that powers it. She uses this technology to capture and contain an uber-amped Winter (think Vulcan for a Marvel analogue).

This is a Hawksmoor solo story from a Wildstorm Summer Special. No fights, but there’s a lot of acrobatic feats and nifty maneuvering. It’s also a very quick and fun read. Thanks again to Charlotte for taking the time to scan this (and others) in to the thread.

Here he replicates his most impressive feat by displacing the entire city of Bisbee, Arizona and forming it into a giant humanoid figure, then attacks with it.
http://img515.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n9gb4.jpg
This is an extended fight with a giant building-sized robot that was attacking San Francisco. In the fight he displays a number of powers: the ability to increase his density, some strength, manipulating various aspects of the city remotely, forming massive weapons from city debris, agility, etc.

V. Swift
Info
Bio: http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...8Shen+Li-Min%29
Pic: http://www.adherents.com/lit/comics/img/s/Swift.jpg
Description: Think Hawkgirl, but no mace. Swift is the least powerful of the Authority, but has some high-level senses and tracking skills, and durability that is certainly above human level.
Feats
A stylish but quick punking of a few corrupt police officers
http://img249.imageshack.us/my.php?...60108467fj6.jpg
http://img442.imageshack.us/my.php?...84704031yd0.jpg
Flying straight through brick walls, killing people as she goes.
http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=15rk.jpg
Matches speed with and takes out a jet fighter.
http://img527.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20rj1.jpg
Flies a fat lady through a bunch of thick walls, and apparently wraps metal around her at the end:
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?...yratep07uu1.jpg
http://img520.imageshack.us/my.php?...yratep12fv1.jpg
Faring quite well against an army of flying robots. The Doctor intervenes but she was handling it well on her own even before that:
http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?...yratep01pa9.jpg
http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?...yratep02xo7.jpg
http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?...yratep03rk1.jpg
Can read the date on a quarter from 2 miles away:
http://img164.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n4mi1.jpg
Saves people from a fire:
http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?...rchedearqe5.jpg
Here she’s in danger of having her wings incinerated, but flies so fast that the flames can’t receive oxygen to burn:
http://img73.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n7ay7.jpg
Deals with a Flash ripoff:
http://img460.imageshack.us/my.php?...ual2000pdr4.jpg
http://img294.imageshack.us/my.php?...ual2000poi3.jpg
…considerably slower than Flash, I’d say, but still a legit speedster.
Here she humiliates a dude from Gen13 who grabs her boob:
http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n5bs7.jpg
http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n6wg1.jpg
…the first scan is important because of the faint halo around his head. He had just siphoned off a considerable amount of power from Apollo, and clearly still had some left in him. It’s hard to tell how much it was (though he sent Apollo into the stratosphere a few pages earlier) so it’s likely an impressive feat for Swift.
Not a feat unless Shen goes on American Idol, but funny nonetheless. The lyrics are priceless.

VII. The Doctor, Part I
Info
Bio (Jeroen Thorndike): http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...or+%28Jeroen%29
Pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/xrayhand/7120340/
Description: This is broken into 2 sections. The first is Jeroen, the hippy who acted as the Authority's first “Doctor.” Basically, The Doctor is an immensely powerful reincarnated being who watches over the Earth. Each Doctor retains their own personality, but inherits the memories, experiences, and knowledge of every Doctor that has come before him/her. The Doctor's every thought can become reality. Also included in this section are a few feats from past Doctors who preceded the Authority’s Doctors.
Part I: Jeroen
The following is a link to a post I made in the Mythbuster thread over in the Comic Books Forum. It details The Doctor’s powers and limitations concerning telepathy.

Turning a solid steel door into mountain air.

http://img105.imageshack.us/my.php?image=31hb2.jpg
Turns a crashing spaceship into roses
http://img185.imageshack.us/img185/...rity0610ns1.jpg
He gleans information telepathically from an autistic boy who had been turned into a monster, then changes him back and teleports him to safety. Also minor feats for Apollo and Swift on the scan.
http://img528.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n15af6.jpg
http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n16kp7.jpg
This fight is actually with an evil Doctor against the rest of the Authority. Honestly, the only thing that keeps him from turning them into flowers in the opening seconds of the fight is pure PIS. Still, it’s a decent example of his power(s). He time travels for the first time, too, among other things.

An impressive techno-pathy feat where he reprograms the navigational computers of an entire invading alien fleet, and sends them into the sun.
http://img443.imageshack.us/my.php?image=32ad7.jpg
This one amuses me. He transports a human bomb to an unborn dimension. The guy explodes, creating a “big bang”, and thus creating a new universe.
http://img154.imageshack.us/my.php?image=164ar.jpg
Here he creates a containment field for an explosion created by Apollo. Not only does he effortlessly contain a Stamford-sized blast, but he turns all debris leaving the containment field into rain.

The Doctor, Part II: Habib
Info
Bio: (Habib bin Hassan): http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...b+bin+Hassan%29
Pic:
Description: Habib currently holds the title. As before, The Doctor is an immensely powerful reincarnated being who watches over the Earth. Each Doctor retains their own personality, but inherits the memories, experiences, and knowledge of every Doctor that has come before him/her. The Doctor's every thought can become reality.
Feats
This is Habib when he first receives the powers of The Doctor.
http://img513.imageshack.us/my.php?image=33dj3.jpg
http://img508.imageshack.us/my.php?image=34kp3.jpg
Casually walking a year into the future. No spells, speed force barriers to knock down, etc. Just a thought and he's there.
http://img113.imageshack.us/my.php?image=26ug0.jpg
Just in case anyone thinks a Superman-type could challenge The Doctor, here he is freezing Majestic in place while drinking a soda:
http://img113.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27bm4.jpg
...and he also states how easy it would be for him to finish off Captain Atom:
http://img258.imageshack.us/my.php?image=28yf9.jpg
Fighting Jenny Quantum head-on. Jackson King was telepathically controlling Jenny against Habib, but was giving her the autonomy to use her own imagination. So she’s fighting at or near her full ability.
http://img254.imageshack.us/my.php?image=habib2lh1.jpg
http://img394.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ap03004fe5.jpg
http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ap03005au7.jpg
…not conclusive, but since it’s the only evidence we have between the two of them, we can probably tentatively say that The Doctor is slightly > Jenny Q.
Teleportation:
http://img514.imageshack.us/my.php?image=habib1re4.jpg
Authority owns Cthulhu, no less. I put it in Habib’s section because he did most of the work.
http://img45.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ityprimeip7.jpg
http://img84.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ityprimeaq5.jpg
http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?...ityprimenp0.jpg
http://img147.imageshack.us/my.php?...ityprimejk6.jpg
Doctor/Jenny Q feat. Henry Bendix had set off natural disasters all over the world. Here Jenny and Habib are shown dealing with them.
http://img261.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n2aw2.jpg
This is impressive for a number of reasons. He detects that the universe had recently been remade (CA: Armageddon arc), detects slight changes to it, then uses this to find and capture Winter’s soul. He also created a body-duplicate of Winter using his DNA records, and heals the Stormwatch members of their wounds in seconds. The last line is also fun. “Who’s that powerful?” “Me.”
http://img233.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n8zy9.jpg
http://img166.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n9al7.jpg
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n10ag8.jpg
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n11jh2.jpg
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n12to0.jpg
http://img171.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n13un7.jpg
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=n14wr6.jpg
Jackson King’s comments, that Habib has the same powers as Jeroen, reinforces my theory that The Doctor’s powers do not increase with new reincarnations, but merely become more refined since each new Doctor inherits the experiences of past Doctors.

VIII. Jenny, Part I (Sparks)
Info
Bio (Sparks): http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c...Sparks%2C+Jenny
Pic: http://www.dynamicforces.com/images/jennysparkstpb.jpg
Description: Also broken into two parts, Jenny Sparks is living electricity. Jenny Quantum's powers are off the charts, and she can affect matter at the subatomic level. Sparks is the living embodiment of the Spirit of the 20th Century. Quantum is the Spirit of the 21st.
Part I: Jenny Sparks
Jenny electrocutes the brain of an organism roughly the size of a continent. The carrier is the size of a city, so you can see the difference in just the Carrier compared to the brain in the first panel.
http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=10dd2.jpg
http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=22pj.jpg
Tooling a guy named Battlion (better known as Jackson King in later stories) who was “training” Jenny. She also demonstrates that she could simply shut down his brain if she wanted to because it uses electricity.
http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=13sk3.jpg
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=14hu5.jpg
Jumps into a TV, glides through a city using electrical current, hops out of a car radio, destroys the car, and fries a guy’s brain.
http://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=15hu9.jpg
http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=16rp2.jpg
http://img69.imageshack.us/my.php?image=17bc6.jpg
A fun feat where she electrocutes a guy (via a light bulb) without leaving her “human” form.
http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=20qc6.jpg
Burns a Doc Sampson-esque superhero to a crisp
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=21jl0.jpg
http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=22rk2.jpg
Shuts down radio communications, lights, etc. and fries a group of soldiers. She really just has complete control over anything electrical.
http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=23cf7.jpg
Levels a building with a giant lightning bolt
http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=24nv7.jpg
Travels through a computer system into the lab of Henry Bendix. A cool feat because she’s able to make lightning course throughout the entire room even as she walks.
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=25kh7.jpg
http://img358.imageshack.us/my.php?image=26gu5.jpg
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=27th4.jpg
With three Stormwatch communicators tossed in the air, she uses all three as a conduit to electrocute a trio of powerful telekinetics, showing that she can split herself up into different electrical avenues if she needs to.
http://img252.imageshack.us/my.php?image=36ry4.jpg
http://img523.imageshack.us/my.php?image=37gk0.jpg
Cuts the lights to a building and completely incinerates a bunch of soldiers.
http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=28wr9.jpg
http://img337.imageshack.us/my.php?image=29lf5.jpg
Becomes a lightning bolt to fry a bunch of metas that were herded into a pool of water.
http://img181.imageshack.us/my.php?image=30cb8.jpg
http://img353.imageshack.us/my.php?image=31ag7.jpg
http://img440.imageshack.us/my.php?image=32je9.jpg
This one is one of her more uber feats. She taps into a city’s power supply to grow to the size of a skyscraper and electrocutes an entire fleet of attacking ships.
http://img329.imageshack.us/my.php?image=33yb9.jpg
http://img372.imageshack.us/my.php?image=34qg6.jpg

Jenny, Part II (Quantum)
Info
Bio (Quantum/Quarx): http://wildstormresource.wetpaint.c.../Quarx%2C+Jenny
Pic: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikiped...250px-Jenny.png
Description: Jenny Quantum's powers are off the charts, and she can affect matter at the subatomic level. Quantum is the Spirit of the 21st Century.
Feats
Creating an explosion big enough to take out a few city blocks when she was still a newborn.
http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=37mh2.jpg
http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=43rp.jpg
Detecting remote surveillance of her and Apollo

http://img235.imageshack.us/my.php?image=39lh0.jpg
Remaining invisible to a MN’er replacement mere feet away.
http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=59pw.jpg
Protecting the entire Authority from an atomic blast that destroyed Washington D.C.
http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=61rf.jpg
Dimension-hopping.
http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=77wr1.jpg
Infinite City. This is the dimension Jenny simply ‘created’ from her subconscious so that she could converse with her past lives.
http://img71.imageshack.us/my.php?image=81rc.jpg
Protecting Earth from the Carrier exploding. Keep in mind, the Carrier is powered by a caged baby universe, which becomes a Big Bang when containment is broken. So depending on the density of the universe being used, this is a potentially mind-numbing feat. She describes it as swallowing a supernova.
http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=98ra.jpg
http://img378.imageshack.us/my.php?image=109mf.jpg
Making tiny quantum bursts explode inside the brain of Henry Bendix
http://img153.imageshack.us/my.php?image=119fz.jpg
Doctor/Jenny Q feat. Henry Bendix had set off natural disasters all over the world. Here Jenny and Habib are shown dealing with them.

http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=ap03005au7.jpg
…this is in the Doctor's section as well. He gets the better of the fight it seems, but she does some impressive stuff during it as well, including transmutation, creating anti-matter, and blocking dimensional and temporal travel.

Hooray!
So let the apathy commence. But I'm excited, and won't ever have to do much in the way of research and back-issue digging to find Authority stuff at this point, so updates from now on will be small and painless. There's about 130 more scans than the old thread, and updated bio/pic/info sections, so for fans of the Authority who read the old one, there's some new material for nearly every character.
The most new material (and # of scans total) is for MN'er, Angie, and Hawksmoor. The newer characters (Rose, Habib, Jenny Q) are still lagging a bit in appearances and scans. It'll be another probably 3-5 years before their appearances, and thus feats, catch up. Jeroen and Jenny S. are essentially done, barring a missed scan or two, so their sections are the only ones that we can pretty much call officially closed.

3/5 of your "Big Fragging Monster" scans for Apollo don't work for me.
