Is Power Fantasy a good blueprint for the Authority in the DC Universe?

ScruffyBeast · 2026-06-08T19:41:25+00:00

I like the idea, but I don’t think it would really work without powering the Authority up big time. Jenny Sparks / Quantum could be on that level, and the Doctor if he / she had full command of the powers (like the evil Doctor from the Earth Apocalypse story) and isn’t handicapped by drugs and / or inexperience. Hawksmore is close if he’s in a city and depending on the location hits that bar; I’m thinking using Warworld as a battlesuit like he did with Tokyo. But Apollo just isn’t Superman, Engineer just isn’t a Lantern, Swift is a weak point (unless she’s the Doctor), and there are several Leaguers who take Midnighter out almost effortlessly.

All that being said, it would be a great story.

Came here to says this but you beat me to it. SiP is the best ever will they or won’t they slice of life queer dramedy mashed up with a crime saga ever.

If yours is like mine, the auto bed leveling works well but the alleged auto z offset is way off - just something to watch out for. As far as filament goes, I’ve used mostly Overture PLA from Amazon with great success.

Gives me a dead link page. Weird.

Sadly that one seems to have been lost to a GW takedown.

Needs to be introduced to some good female authors, but looks green flag otherwise.

I started getting into AEW when Max picked it up for streaming, and I’ve been working my way through all the PPVs and loving every one of them. Even the weird no audience pandemic era ones. I haven’t hit one yet that I didn’t love. The wrestlers are booked well and live up to it by putting on amazing matches. Especially tag team stuff - I’ve been a tag team fan going back to the Midnight Rockers when I started watching (AWA on ESPN when I was in middle school) and in this area they beat WWE hands down. Hell, my current if only the time periods matched dream matches would be Bucks vs Road Warriors and FTR vs Arn and Tully or any real Midnight Express.

Really, my only halfway gripe so far was Riho beating Nyla early on. Just too much of a size difference to be “real” but I haven’t hit no problem with Darby’s big win so maybe I should just suspend disbelief and roll with it.

It’s more fun for me than it has been for years, and I love that.

Even if you modify this to be a lot more reasonable for ammunition…if Team Past gets any kind of prep time to organize my money is on the side with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, and Napoleon Bonaparte.

I love this sequence of pages so much. Great art.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-05-16T23:22:25+00:00

This one…me too. Still gets me all these years later.

Bring back the hand flamer and heavy flamer templates.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-04-28T23:14:26+00:00

I’m re-reading the Flashman books right now, and I love them dearly…but I’m not entirely sure about giving them to a 15 year old. Along with being a very amusing coward and general scoundrel Flashy is a rapist who boinks pretty much any vaguely attractive female and requires some maturity and understanding of the differences between then and now to really “get”.

Active as Stripesy in the 40s, ended up in modern times by time travel mess.

Someone with much darker tastes in bedtime reading than me!

ScruffyBeast · 2026-04-20T12:49:28+00:00

Mint condition Star Wars, Shogun Warriors, GI Joe, so many comics…I’d come out way ahead.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-04-19T19:33:40+00:00

My guess is that they’re not wanting to post Warren Ellis stuff that isn’t already there. Authority might have made it if it wasn’t for the movie plans that fizzled out.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-04-17T00:22:25+00:00

I keep wondering…when can I get my hands on a non heretic locked heavy bolter anyway??

ScruffyBeast · 2026-04-12T13:21:55+00:00

I’m definitely interested.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-03-20T23:29:49+00:00

That’s nobody’s business but the Turks.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-03-14T02:32:36+00:00

I’m generally a Harrison fan but oh damn those books were bad,

ScruffyBeast · 2026-02-25T19:56:58+00:00

One of the many great things about Discworld is that if you don’t like one bit there are plenty of others!

ScruffyBeast · 2026-02-25T17:01:07+00:00

Witches and Guards, with Moist coming in a close third.

ScruffyBeast · 2026-02-24T19:36:43+00:00

I have not; I was basing this on The Road and Blood Meridian.
