History Characters / TheAuthority

* TheChick

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The Americans are evil stand-ins for ComicBook/TheAvengers and a bunch of other Creator/MarvelComics .

* HeelFaceTurn: Midnighter is able to convince Tank-Man to walk away from the Americans just by talking to and being nice to him. The last that is heard of him is when he sends a letter to Midnighter, thanking him showing him a better life and telling him about his new family in Dr. Krigstein's New Indonesia.
* KarmicRape: It's implied the Commander about to be repaid for his rape of Apollo by Midnighter using a rusty jackhammer to do the same to him.

* ShadowArchetype: Like The Authority, The Americans are a team of superhumans who seek to enforce their own agenda . Unlike The Authority, they lack a conscience or even the slightest care for civilians.

* EvilBrit: Colonel is of a LowerClassLout variety. He's crude, vulgar, obnoxious, wears Union Jack painted on his face like a stadium hooligan, and [[NationalStereotypes has a penchant to call everybody around him a "wanker"]]. It's hard to tell if he has Cockney accent ([[CaptainObvious since this is a comic, you know]]), but we may safely assume so.
* HaveIMentionedIAmHeterosexualToday: Last Call feels constantly compelled to mention his girlfriend, in an attempt to distance himself from his notorious predecessor.

** Last Call's homophobia is so great that when Dinh transforms them into the original Authority, Last Cal breaks free simply because Teuton/Apollo tried to kiss him.

* {{Sucksessor}}: Despite being 'replacements' for arguably the world's most powerful superteam, Midnight kills most of them with little trouble. Best demonstrated with Teuton, who is supposedly 'the new Apollo' (a FlyingBrick), who gets killed by a simple [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Captive_bolt_pistol captive bolt pistol]] type weapon to the back of his head, and the Surgeon, who supposedly has stolen the Doctor's earth shaman powers, yet gets killed by a simple blast through the chest.[[note]]In comparison, Swift FLEW through the Regenade Doctor, splattering his upper half Mortal Kombat fatality style, and all he did was pull himself together immediately with all the damage gone in two seconds, while cursing that it had actually hurt.[[/note]]

* BalefulPolymorph: [[spoiler:His augmentations are reversed by Jenny Quantum, returning him to his human form and his final fate is being transformed into a chicken]].

The first fully-fledged multiversal corporation, Reality Incorporated holds billion dollar interests in thirty-six parallel universes. hey make their money by invading "less-developed" universes, slaughter their populations and plunder their resources. Reality Inc, has terraformed entire universes for industrial exploitation or created "pleasure worlds" for people to indulge in their basest desires without ruining their reputations.

* AbsoluteCleavage: The first outfit we see her in consists of a black suit jacket, pants and a red bra.

* RapeAndRevenge: The Commander rapes a depowered Apollo -- only for a recovered Apollo to then cripple him and it's implied Midnighter returns the favor with a rsuty jackhammer.

* DeepSouth: He represents almost every negative stereotype of Southern people, and possibly one of the darkest examples in comics, considering his fondness for violence and implied pedophilia.

* CorruptHick: An extreme example of a depraved Southerner, and possibly one of the darkest ones in comics, considering his fondness for violence and implied pedophilia.

** Storm-God --> ComicBook/TheMighyThor

* HumanityIsContagious: A negative example. The Voyagers were originally a race that spread knowledge and evolution to worlds across the multiverse. But when they merged with Wade Walker, they became corrupted by his greed and decadence.

** Commander is implied to have raped Apollo. After Apollo paralyzes him with a solar blast, Commander is last seen being confronted by Midnighter who intends to sodomize him with a jackhammer.

* AtrociousArthropods: The InsectoidAliens the Walkers and the Voyagers merged with serve as extra muscle.

* TheAlcoholic: She once joked that the only reason she looks so good at her age is because all of her organs are preserved in alcohol.

* LadyDrunk: She tended to drink a lot.

* ShockAndAwe: She is literally ''made'' of electricity.

* DefiantToTheEnd: To Colonel's credit, when Midnighter has already killed his teammates and is about to kill him, he is unwilling to go down gently and shouts at the hero to bring it on, calling him a "poofy wanker". Not that it saves him from [[CurbStompBattle going down with contemptous ease]]. Nor getting a hilarious BondOneLiner in response.

* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: The leader of the team is an openly racist and misogynistic hooligan who frequently abuses his teammates ([[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and overuses the "wanker" word]]). His subordinates include a dim-witted African-American street gangster, a vicious and sadistic homophobe and overly emotional (to the point that he is crying more often than he is not), effeminate, bi-curious would-be rapist. Not to mention the very fact that they were all appointed as Authority's replacement by G7 countries as -- supposedly -- the finest representatives of their respective nations.

* EvilBrit: Colonel is one, of a LowerClassLout variety. He's crude, vulgar, obnoxious, wears Union Jack painted on his face like a stadium hooligan, and [[NationalStereotypes has a penchant to call a "wanker" everybody around him]]. It can't be told for sure if he has Cockney accent ([[CaptainObvious since this is a comic, you know]]), but we may safely assume so.

* SelfDuplication: She can make copies of herself to carry out various functions around the world.

* HeelFaceTurn: Midnighter is able to convince Tank-Man to walk away from the Americans just by talking to and being nice to him.

* CorruptedCharacterCopy: The Americans are evil stand-ins for ComicBook/TheAvengers.
