Id say its power .... Wonderman is not going to be able withstand the type of power that can take out Space Staitions the size of countries.

What issue of avengers are you talking about then ? 🙂

Actually, the docking bay was the size of a small country. The entire station was probably closer to, say, the Moon.

Apollo gets no love on this forum though. Everyone thinks he can't last long enough to beat anyone, and sees him as a 2nd-rate Supes knockoff.
Generally they're right ( 😮 ) but he should get more respect than what he normally gets.

No one knows jack about Wildstorm, so running off a list of Apollo's victories wouldn't mean much.
Also, it's tougher for the Authority because they actually kill their villians. Thus, there's few (if any) recurring threats....no one to accurately gauge power levels and such.
The Authority respect thread has all his best stuff though, so you'd do well to check that out if you need more info.

Apart from Captain Atom... who Apollo effectively killed (or would have if it hadn't been for the whole"Void" shard that was inside him)
Now I haven't read a lot of Captain Atom's appearances, but I know that he has beaten Hal Jordan and thrown down with Superman
EDIT: Oh... and he beat Majestic in that same series:

Indeed .... a waste of a good fight.
I think everyone should keep their eye on Captain atom, he's basically the Silver Surfer without a board. I also think the 'Ethics' of the Wildstorm universe have had a profound effect on C.A. I didn't read the 'Battle for Budhaven' but apprently he had few qualms with 'Nuking' an entire city. Such diseregard for the sancity of life, is hardly going to sit well with the big guns. IMO, he has the potential to beat all of them. He has the strength of Supes, and hes capable of high level Radioactive man stuff. Watch this Space .... 😱

Yeah, I really enjoyed that last series... I'd never really paid the guy much attention before.... except for the time he fought Superman in JLU
Apparently that fight was amazing, I didn't watch it as i though it would be a walk over for Supes. Apparently not. 😄
According to the Wiki page, his power derive from his metal alloy skin (A metal similar to the Thanagarian one), which can tap into Zero point energy. This is the energy that most scientist think will eventually power space craft, as its is found in the vacuum of space (Therefore you don't need to carry it with you). I've heard a single cup of tea contains enough Zero point energy to boil all the earths oceans away. So Captain Atom potentially has an infinite power source at his disposal.

Hmm, let's see...
The first scan was actually a tag team up of the Midnighter and Apollo against Cap Atom. Apollo actually cheap-shotted him to get to that point. Not to mention the fact while Apollo was punching Atom, he was just sitting there and analyzing him. No damage was really done to him. Then, when he took Nathaniel next to the sun, Apollo ended up almost dying because of the nuclear reactions Captain Atom sped up inside him. 🙂
Second two scans... just before that, Captain Atom was blasted by Nikola, Quantum leaped into the future, he battled Angie and transmutated her, then battled Apollo and Midnighter while speeding up the nuclear reactions inside his body... yeah, he was majorly fatigued at the time. Not exactly a notable feat for Apollo. 🙂

JLU's sweet, but I hate that Supes always has to win. He punked Billy too...and both Cpt. Atom and Cpt. Marvel have access to his 2 weaknesses, magic and red sun. They should win. 😬
