Excuse my ignorance, but is The Authority like an Avengers/Justice league type squad? They sound interesting and powerful because the people in this thread are speaking highly of its members. Also which company are they from?
WildStorm. Not sure if they're around in the New 52 as the Authority, but I know the members(at least some) are in the new continuity.

They're Wildstorm or part of the DC Multiverse.

They're an interesting team with some MU and DC analogues. Their big gimmick is, they dont have a no kill rule, a fact which many readers attribute god like power to. 😉
👆 Thanks a lot guys.

The Doctor is the OP's most powerful character. However, if Strange can keep him in check the Authority doesn't have another answer for Thor, and a combo of Strange/Thor would likely take down the Doctor. The rest are mostly fodder (not sure about Starbrand...The High or someone else could likely busy SB for a while).Why Jenny Sparks? You know she was the high-meta-level electricity manipulator, not the Trans.-level badass, yeah?
lol, 👆
Also, though I realize this is a joke, it's not a given that Thor's electricity manipulation would trump Jenny's. In fact, I think this might be one of the only times where the reverse is slightly more likely. But of course we don't know for sure.
Would a being made of electricity have stronger control over it then Jenny?

I actually think Apollo is powerful enough to give Thor a decent fight. Unless by "no answer to Thor" you mean nobody who would likely beat him, then yeah. I know very little about The High. I read his origin, but in regards to what I've seen of his power, all I know is he KOed I think Fuji with by spitting hard on him, and Apollo was compared to him. So maybe he'd give Thor a decent fight too.Regardless of who would win there, I doubt Thor would actually try it, as he rarely does energy drain. But out of curiosity, what makes you think she might be more powerful than him there? I didn't read her Pre-AUTHORITY, but did read her from AUTHORITY #1 through her death at killing "God" and didn't see anything to think her power over electricity was greater than his.
Apollo isn't Thor's match. It's not a OHK or anything, but there's no serious chance Apollo wins.
By all accounts - which are few, given his sporadic appearances - the High is > Apollo but < Thor. He could trade blows with Majestic but doesn't have Majestic's feats.
She's NOT more powerful than Thor. I didn't say that. I said she might have better control over electricity than Thor, which she might. Very speculative either way, though.

Jenny's control is more fundamental than most. She controls - and is - electricity on something approaching an abstract level. There are limits to its scope. But, for example, I don't think Thor could just absorb her into Mjolnir. And she would wreck the **** out of most other electricity wielders...say, Electro even at his most dangerous.

Wildstorm, a now-defunct subsidiary of DC. They were created by Warren Ellis, and were all kinds of badass. A few of their members got rebooted and absorbed into Stormwatch in the New 52 stuff.

Yeah, she's ain't siht.
Thor's the weather-god of the 5th century, 6th century, 7th, century, 8th century, all the way to mofugging 60th century or something where Zarrko's boiling in his own jealousy.
Elijah Snow and Sparks' had a purpose, but that did not mean that their control over electricity or snow or whatever was absolute 😛
I cant say i see your point or his as it comes to the spirit of... God of... Part of things.
Titles are just titles.
As for the electricity argument, well, Thor summons mystical lightning.
But he's way more than that. Among his abilities is control of anti matter and elemental transmutation.
Not to put to fine a point on it but, Thor could conceivably best 5 out of 7 on the Authority team solo...
