Very good, but it goes under the assumption that the Ultimates are familiar with the Authority. If so, that would mean that the Authority would also be familiar with the Ultimates and their government connection. So I still see a scenario where the Authority comes out on top by knowing to take out Thor and Hulk right off the bat with either a door or the Doctor's powers. You seem to also have forgotten the Engineer, who I think is more than a match for Tony Stark. Thirty replicated engineers flying around could more than handle Tony as well as keeping the others busy. Scarlet Witch vs. the Doctor would be intersting, but I think reality manipulation trumps chaos magic. Hawksmoore keeps Quicksilver busy by having New York changing its street surfaces or what have you. Apollo turns Hawkeye to ashes then turns around and bitch slaps Black Widow back to Russia. Authority is a major powerhouse with some major toys and experience behind them that the Ultimates just can't match.

It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness.
This is true both in politics and on the internet."
