How Would Wonder Woman Deal With The Authority?

[Agent Z]

Title says it all. What would Diana's stance on the superhero team, the Authority, be?

[Ascended]

Depends on who writes her. If its Geoff Johns circa 2011, she joins their team. If its Azzarello circa 2014 she rejects their shortsighted and overtly violent ways before allowing herself to be goaded into a fight and tearing Apollo's arm off. If its Finch circa 2015 she has an existential crisis and complains about having too much on her plate already.



In all seriousness though, I think Diana would see the Authority as an undisciplined and dangerous group with good intentions. She wouldnt trust them; these guys showed up to a fight drunk after all, to say nothing of how they affected geo-social balance. But she's a royal taught to play that kind of political game, so I think she'd see the potential in having them as allies, but only if they curbed their excesses. So....attack dogs. Good for when you want someone bit, but not something you let off the chain to roam the neighborhood unsupervised.

Which Authority?

[Flash Gordon]

She would help the Justice League take them down, hard. No way in hell Batman. Superman, or Wonder Woman would allow them to operate.

[Carabas]

Depends...

Wonder Woman doesn't like killing, but she doesn't have a hard rule against it.

And another thing to consider is that the Authority faces very different kinds of enemies than the Justice League.
If the Justice League had to deal with lunatics that send hundreds of berserk Superman-clones rampaging through major metropolises, with death toll in the numbers you'd realistically expect for that kind of thing, in a universe without regular resurections or reset buttons, they would likely be somewhat less averse to killing.

Wonder Woman, she'd join up in a heart beat. Especially if it's the Warren Ellis Authority instaed of the Mark Millar version. She'd get on splendidly with pacifist Swift.

[gwhh]

I've only read a few issues of that comics. But all the ones I read, they come off as a bunch of jerk offs. Drunk on there on there own power and moral superiority to everyone else and are just a few steps up from a criminal gang! More like a for profit group of solider of fortune types!

She smacked them around for just asking her to join them and than make them disband or else!!!


What episode is this in?

These guys showed up to a fight drunk after all!!

She would help the Justice League take them down, hard. No way in hell Batman. Superman, or Wonder Woman would allow them to operate.
