Very nice Digi if I could go back I would change the Juggernaut respect thread to look just like this one.

Thats probably the best compliment I can give on a Respect thread.

big grin

Thanks. If only the Authority had more comics....the only shortcoming is that between 7 of them, there's less available feats than for most regular characters.

But I like to "front-load" my respect threads (the Spidey one I did is the same way). I'll add more scans as new comics come out, but it's nice to be able to see 90% of the stuff on page 1 without having to hunt for it.

I hear you it is so much better then having to go through every page looking for scans.

Right. And in this case, there's still a lot of people who know nothing about the Authority. Lots of threads are just excuses for fanboys to flock to their character's best feats and talk about them (I admit to being partially guilty with the Spidey one as well), but in this case I feel like at least a few people will know more about the Authority because of me.

And I deliberately tried to be less biased than usual. Swift's not too impressive, so I didn't post much for her. And to be honest, the only time I can remember the Authority legitimately getting owned was by Seth (and I still don't understand why Jeroen couldn't turn him into flowers). So I wasn't avoiding posting embarassing losses for them to make them seem sweeter (like I had to occasionally with Spidey...especially with some of his early issues...ASM 1-50 aren't terribly flattering for him).

A Note On the Scans:

They work best for me if I maximize the window it's in and refresh the image. Otherwise, they don't appear as big as they could be.

Yeah that is normally what respect threads are about.

To tell the truth I'm wasn't very familiar with the Authority. I knew they were pretty strong but I had didn't realize what they were capable of until I saw this thread so you succeded in your goal.

The entire Cpt. Atom arc was amazingly suspect (and that's being nice). The writer's obviously knew nothing about the Wildstorm universe. Not only were characters not written to scale power-wise, but they were totally off on a lot of the characters' personalities as well. Various sites have found dozens of continuity errors with the series as well, showing that none of the writers did their homework. It was basically an extended Cpt. Atom fanboy orgasm with no regard for the continuity of WS.

If you liked it, that's cool, but I'm rather ashamed that it happened.

Most of it overlaps, but it actually has a few feats that I left out, so it's worth a look for MN'er enthusiants.

QUESTION!

Digi mentioned the engineer creating blades that could cut on the molecular level - awesome!

Could they, possibly, cut apart Wolverine's molecularly bonded adamantium? If they can cut molecular bonds, it would seem to follow....shifty

Yes, there were some continuity errors in WS, however you're going overboard, Digi.

No he's not. Referring to it as simply suspect was actually incredibly generous on his part. I prefer the term "piece of shit" myself. That's not a dig on CA either but why should a guy who clearly knows squat about the WS universe and characters get to write the story that reboots their universe? That'd be like golem370 writing Infinite Crisis.

You think it was written for Captain Atom "fanboy orgasm?" That's overboard...

I think the story was weak and a low point for the WS universe. That's not going overboard.

Continuity errors aside, I thought the story was good.

I put it in the same category I put Our Worlds at War. OWAW was a decent Superman story but a lame DCU story. Same principle applies to Armageddon.
