See the inherit problem with Hawksmoor is that I'm probably one of the two people on this site that actually reads the Authority, everyone else probably just looks at the respect thread and goes Ooooooo pret-ty feets.

And some of us read the issues, made the respect thread, and know what they're talking about when they say stuff like "the bigger cities are, the more powerful he gets."
Nah, just kidding. And it's cool that you read Authority. And actually, you're right....a lot of people don't do anything more than read the respect threads. There's usually a lot more to a character than what makes it into most threads.

Hawsmoor was in a LA like City when he got scraped by Midnighter.
But yeah it's pretty obvious who the offenders are, especially when you here such brilliancy as
"Jenny Sparks CAN generate electricity, who cares if they had a whole story arc in Stormwatch devoted to the fact that she can't!"
And then you have the tilted posters who've read it and said Sparks can't be killed physically :P

bumped for discussion. And because I think someone is trying to cheat. Abomination is over the caps, right?

How do you think they are supposed to be cheating? Because of Abom? Well you shouldn't presume straight away they are trying to cheat they might genuinely think Iron Man would be able to take him down.

Oh. Nm. I only remembered that he kicked the shit out of Hulk a few times. What is the strength cap?

What is the strength cap? Cause if I had known it went that high, I'd have grabbed him or Hulk for myself.

Hulks dynamic strength and unreal healing factor put him over the cap, but Abomination lacks those things. Namor has beaten him before, and I really don't see why someone like Iron Man or Vision couldn't either if they really cut loose.

Ok, if you say so.

regardless abomination's base level is about 2x stronger than hulk's base level. He's STILL over the cap

depends. if cap is namor underwater, then no, abom isn't above him. it's very close, but i'd say abom is fine.

Savage Hulk's base level really isn't all that high though to tell the truth, it's just increases at an incredible rate. Abomination may be stronger than most(if not all) of the other participants, but at the end of the day that's all he brings to the table, and his lack of usefulness outside of that regard is what makes him acceptable. If he had anything else going for him, then Hell yeah I'd say no to him, but it's the overall power of the character that determines whether or not they're acceptable(at least for the most part).

Well when she's in human form, sure she can be hurt physically. So yeah, you're right in that regard.
Also, the LA thing was a strictly Hand-2-Hand fight that lasted all of about 4 panels, and was just the two teammates getting pissy. If Jack was going for the kill, MN'er would've been merged with concrete by about panel 2. So that doesn't really mean much. He's worn cities as body armor and made entire buildings topple...getting punched in the face during an brief spat isn't really a low showing....it's just an ignore-able moment that means nothing in terms of his power.
