(The Authority I #5-8) - The Engineer admitted to the Doctor that she missed her ordinary life and her experiments, but she felt a duty as a member of the Authority, and lived for the views, such as the Carrier taking them over the Mind Barrier reef, where the minds of latent telepaths grew as a colony. The Authority had to fend off an invasion from the parallel world of Sliding Albion, and brought the Carrier to their world to topple their whole imperialistic regime.

(The Authority I #9-12) - The Earth's original owner had woken up. The heralds took over the moon, and some of them landed in Africa. Jenny sent her team from the Carrier to defeat them on Earth, and sent Apollo to the moon to sterilize it. The original God of Earth approached, wanting to return the environment to the way he'd made it billions of years ago. Engineer talked to the Carrier, who preferred to stay near Earth because that's where he was abandoned by his previous owners, but she reasoned with the ship, and they flew toward God, entering the organism through one of its' pores. On reaching its' brain Jenny fried it, killing God. Her time as Earth's immune system had passed, and so she died.

(The Authority I #13-16, 21) - The Authority took down a Southeast Asian dictatorship, throwing the dictator to the survivors of a village he'd sent a death squad to. The Authority became worldwide celebrities, and Jack told the Doctor that was always part of Jenny's plan, knowing they could get away with far more if they were beloved. The Doctor learned that Jenny had been reborn as the Spirit of the 21st Century, but could only narrow down he location to the Pacific Rim, although he knew other interests were also searching for her. The Authority started throwing after-hours parties on the Carrier for the world's superhuman community. The Doctor located the newborn Jenny Quark in Singapore, and rescued her just before the Americans, a military group under the command of Jacob Krigstein, slaughtered the maternity ward. The Doctor fled to the Carrier, but the American's android member defeated him, abducted Jenny, and the Americans returned to the Hangar. The Authority located Krigstein's secret bases, and after forcing him to back down offered a change to join them in saving the world, not conquering it.

(The Authority I #17-20) - The Authority, with Swift taking command, forced occupying Russian troops in Chechnya and Chinese troops in Tibet to evacuate or face annihilation from the Carrier.

A Renegade Doctor was the one responsible, and the Authority managed to kill him.

(The Authority I #22-26) - Apollo and Midnighter got married and put through papers to adopt Jenny Quantum. The G7 nations had had enough of the Authority throwing their weight around, and sent their superhuman troubleshooter Seth to take care of them. He ran through the Authority, and the Midnighter managed to save Jenny Quantum, using the Carrier to open a door and bring her to safety. He teleported aboard an airbase and rammed a jet into Seth, exploding the Carrier, which crashed to Earth. Seth was unharmed, and there was no sign of the Midnighter. The G7 had hand-picked a replacement Authority, and after taking over the Carrier they announced to the world that they were in charge. Carrier. The Carrier repaired itself, and Machine threatened it until it entered the Bleed for them. The G7 Authority had orders to seek out fossil fuels from parallel worlds as one of their top priorities. The Carrier held thousands of Southeast Asian refugees, most of whom had died in the crash, and the Colonel didn't want to deal with the politics of repatriating them, so the Surgeon dumped them in the Bleed. They fell into Re-Space and later came back for revenge, but were defeated by the G7.

(The Authority I #27-29) - The Carrier hated the new Authority, and took them through some of the most diseased universes, such as the Megalosalmon Shaols, as protest. Midnighter had survived the Carrier's crash and killed most of the G7 Authority after freeing Apollo. The Carrier's crash had ripped a hole in the Bleed, rapidly attracting the nearby parallel worlds, which had the capacity to subsume Earth-50. The Authority defeated Seth, and Jack refused to help the G7 governments stop the Bleed from subsuming Earth. He said they got themselves into this mess by attacking the Authority, and they could get themselves out of it. The G7 came through, and to teach the President a lesson about messing with them again, the Authority dumped him in an Iraq war zone. Apollo and Midnighter had their marriage ceremony aboard the carrier, and Jenny Quantum was now officially their daughter. Jack was pleased that the Authority had indeed changed the world, and said there was no going back.

(Grifter & Midnighter #1, 2, 5) - Midnighter was kidnapped by a mysterious group, brought to a lab, and forced to replay an endless VR scenario in his head. n the scenario the Authority were attacked by alien beings, and he was unable to save them from dying one by one until he himself died.

Midnighter kept seeing the VR scenario, and experienced hallucinations, so Jenny took him off active duty. She found an alien like the one's from the VR scenario in Doctor Argot's head, and it scuttled off, disappearing through a portal. The aliens were being controlled by a sentient race, using Earth as a killing field, and Grifter and Midnighter teamed up to stop them. Midnighter handed the invasion himself, not wanting his teammates aid.
