He's not stronger than Thing, and with less stamina.

He's like a class 90 wonderman without the durability.

He didn't look that weak against Atom.

Uni's comments may have been an attempt at humor or baiting. Or simply a lack of knowledge. It would be akin to saying Spider-Man is Class 5, or Sasquatch is Class 80 (which is what I think the handbooks have him at). It's provably false, and quite easily at that.

Handbooks are crap.

What are Apollo's best strength feats?

Going blow for blow with Cpt. Atom in a canon crossover. Toppling a skyscraper that was the largest in Los Angeles by a fair margin. He also destroyed an at-least-state-sized spaceship by simply flying into it, which is above any meta-style durability feat, especially since I'm being very generous by calling it state-size and not continent or world-sized.

That's off the top of my head. He's got low showings, but it's when he loses his charge. And he's got a good respect thread, you know (in the larger Authority respect thread). You should check it out....

Supergirl still wins, btw. My lone point in these threads anymore is informative, not debating.

He was raping Atom in that crossover. It wasn't even close until he tricked him.

I tend to err on the side of caution when listing feats, especially when people know I read them a lot. It's easy to be accused of fanboy-ism, and not easy to regain credibility after it. I don't even like Apollo as a character that much. At the end of the day, his husband's simply better-defined as a character and he's just another Supes clone. But the amount of hatred toward him, mixed with feat confusion, is a bit mystifying.

But yes, you have a point, and I agree. It was just easier to say he was equal to Atom because all I was going for is "higher than meta" and I didn't want Atom fans backlashing the thread into digressive debate.

He was tossing blows at him, but Atom was clearly thinking iirc.

Owning would be something like DOS, where even the inner monologue was affected.

IT wasn't like that in Armageddon.

Atom did say that he was killing him though or to something of the same effect.

Thus is my foresight justified.

Later chaps. And read the Authority respect thread if you really want to determine his power level for yourself.

Do they exist ?

As far as I know, only Red and Batdude are, and they rarely post anymore. Especially Batdude.

Anyway, Supergirl ftw.
