Quote: Danny said: His Authority had morals. Most of the Ultimates do.
Quote:
As for the Ultimates, they care about money, fame and living the celebrity lifestyle. He used the same "power corrupts" characterization with the Authority. It's like X-Statix, only without a punchline.
Huh? Stark is Iron Man because he wants to do good before his brain tumour kills him. Cap is only with the Ultimates because his need to serve his country is the only constant in his life. Thor only helps out becvause he gets on well with Stark. Hulk is a slave to his impulses (nothing to do with fame). Black Widow and Hawkeye are soldiers. Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver aren't even public, and help in exchange for the release of political prisoners. Only Wasp and Giant Man have celebrity status as a motivator.
You're confusing the fame which would come from being in the Ultimates with a desire to be in the Ultimates.
As for the Authority, Millar's very first arc, with the opening line, "Why don't superpeople take out the real bastards?" sets a higher moral tone than any other comic has for decades.
