Respect The Authority

In any case, quit spamming my thread.

😬

Written comprehension and logic are not skills you are good at are they? Several ways would allow me to do this, msn from members on here, this actually works in relation to the comics section. The search.php? function works without being logged into this site. Digimark you will not be thanked by other mods if you continue this, we know how much time I can waste for you all . You will make more work for both them and yourself. I made a promise I have stuck to, since doing it. You are on strike two. In relation to spamming your thread, I am replying to an unfounded accusation on an open i.p. and yes, I do have a way to hide my i.p. even with Raz blocking proxies. I suspect Raz knows this also. Many things do not make people stupid, I do think you don't get told everything that goes on behind the scenes on this site.

Now... It's strike 2. What happens next is your choice. You can play ball or you can cause yourself problems. I will not be entering into a dialogue with you further or posting from this account again.

Good news. I'm planning another large-scale update to this thread.

My collection is pretty well comprehensive by now, though there's a few arcs that I missed on the last update, and a lot of their newer stuff hasn't been added (Authority Prime, the non-Cpt-Atom Armageddon stuff, MNer's solo series, etc.).

The plan is to wait until the upcoming Dreamwar crossover with DC in a couple months (which will be canon, btw, since it's the same company/multiverse) then add everything in at once. Charlotte will be helping me a little bit, and she's already been very helpful with additions to the thread (mainly Jack, but others too).

All said, it's looking to be around 100 new scans, give or take, to go with the 300 or so that are already posted.

Woooo!!! You may edit but....oh who cares!! 💃

Turns out Dreamwar may not be canon, even though it's the same multiverse and presumably doesn't interfere with continuity (I guess it happens sometimes before the Final Crisis / Armageddon stuff going on in either universe right now).

Still, I'll post feats when I do the update, because if it's written well it can be used as a rough measuring stick anyway, regardless of its canonical value.

I thought it was canon for the WSU characters but not the DC ones. Is that not the case?

Not really sure. I've heard conflicting reports. I see no reason why it shouldn't be canon, but since it's not going to be continuous with current story arcs in either universe (it will happen during FC and Armageddon, respectively) they might call it non-canon.

I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Digi can you post the scan saying Doctor was immune to telepathy?

That's a bit incorrect as he was beaten by TP before (Authority v1 #14, I think), telepathy is an Achiless' heel of the Authority big guns. On the other hand, it was Doctor who has beaten the Godhead finally, so...it's doubtful.
On the other hand, Habib has stronger personality than Jeroen, so it can be stated that his degree of TP resistance is higher.

What fight was that where you mentioned him being beaten? I'd look it up, but digging up specific issues from my unorganized collection is a pain.

But like you said he beat the Godhead, who was a ridiculously powerful telepath, Jackson couldn't affect him, and he's talked to people in speech bubbles without speaking numerous times (and not the team's radiotelepathy). All point to at least competent tp skill and resistance.

The one after Krigshtein (spelling?) goons have taken baby Jenny- the part of brain responsible for giving the Doctor his powers was temporary shut off leaving him powerless for a while. But that was only one instance which can be a result of sucker punch as well...

Was that telepathic though? They never really established how they cut him off (unless I missed that part). Anyway, I'll probably go back and look sometime soon. Mungi wants the scan from the more recent fight and I'm dealing with a photoshop meltdown on my cpu so doing anything with scans is rough right now. So I'm a bit unorganized at the moment, but working towards getting everything together.

I'll try and browse mine one, seeing as you have problems- though I've also went through CPU problems recently, my Authority scans collection at least likes organised.

I re-downloaded gimp since my photoshop isn't working and got most of my stuff in order. I just have a lot of scanning to do now. But no worries about finding that instance. I'll dig it up at some point on my own, and I'm actually planning a "Mythbuster" post soon to survey Doctor's good and bad tp showings to make some sense of it.

Got a lot done today toward the update. My thanks again to Charlotte for the scans she sent me (mainly of Jack, but a few others too). I have about 85 scans ready, with another 10-20 with the few things I haven't scanned in yet. Also whatever new stuff comes out between now and the middle-to-end of Dreamwar. Probably 150-ish scans total when we update it (Dreamwar starts in a couple weeks).

To Mungi, the scan you requested is in the next wave for me, so it'll be another 2-3 days. My apologies, but I'm making progress and had to finish the current crop of scans before digging up new ones.

At this point a few of these people probably could have their own threads. But I kinda like having them all together like this. It's easier for me, if nothing else. And people like Jenny or Rose would be a bit lost with their own thread, so it helps to lump them in with those who have more showings.

Mythbuster about Doctor and telepathy. Posted here for whoever's interested...I'll also be adding the link to Doctor's section when I update page 1.

No new scans added (waiting at least another month or so) but I've been organizing page 1 a bit. I added an "info" section for each character that includes a bio, pic (for most), and brief description.

The site I use for the bios is the Wildstorm Resource Wiki. It's not affiliated with regular wiki as far as I can tell, but is user-created. It's unbelievable for appearances, and I've been using it to help me track down rogue cameo appearances that I don't have. It also usually has fairly comprehensive bios. I have an account and have edited a few of the bios myself with basic information that was missing both from Authority and Stormwatch characters, so I'll obviously endorse it over most others.

User-creation in bios is tricky sometimes, but when I edit I stick to base power set info and information about the characters themselves. The fear is that you get people with an agenda trying to make them seem better than they are, but it seems fairly well-monitored (edits are reviewed, for example). If you get a dedicated and informed fanbase, they actually seem better than mainstream bios most times. A "bio site" is generally years out of date, but wiki, for example, is usually fairly up-to-date. And niche sites like this are even better, especially for appearances for this one.

K, so I'm going to make an appeal to the forum to add the last piece of the puzzle here.

Once my current orders from online comic shops come in, I'll literally be 2 issues away from owning every comic the Authority appears in. I've spent the last couple weeks tracking down the remotest issues and most obscure cameos to get all of them. There may be some I'm not aware of, but I highly doubt it. Years of steadily collecting combined with the great resource wiki site I mentioned in the post above are about as thorough as you can get with appearances. Some of the ones they mentioned are just that: appearances....they'll be in 1-2 panels in the whole comic and that's it. So I have little reason to doubt that their list is comprehensive. Normally I'm not one to be such a collector, but when I got so close I wanted to finish it off.

So. The 2 issues. Gen13 Vol. 2 Issue #'s 68-69. If anyone has the issues, I'd greatly appreciate someone browsing through them and seeing if there's anything feat-worthy in them for the Authority. If so, I'd also appreciate you posting the feats. Either way, when I update this thread it will be as many feats as you'll ever find in one place for the Authority, which is my goal. I'll keep looking for the 2 issues, but the 2nd best thing would just be to have someone else post the feats (if any).

Or not. Either way I'm good, and if I can't find them chances are not too many other people have them either. Anyway, the full update will happen in maybe a couple weeks, once everything comes in and I scan everything in.

No rush. The update won't be coming for at least a couple weeks. But thanks a bunch. You can PM them to me or just post them here. Either way, thanks.
