The original series ended in 1990, however a new rebooted version showed up in 2005, albeit set in a different version of the Marvel universe. They would also be mentored by older Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man on occasion, who else better to teach these young heroes the lessons of responsibility with the great powers they were given? The issues also dealt with a lot of mature subject matter despite the young ages of the main characters, although in a reason able and age appropriate way, unlike today people cared about the kind of stuff kids were exposed to back then. They would meet the Morlocks at one point, I remember an issue where they had Thanksgiving dinner with them for some reason, that was weird. Reed Richards and Susan Richards of the Fantastic Four. Before that they would befriend a young Franklin Richards, son of Dr. They would show up in various other titles, in fact their eldest sibling Alex Power (Power is of course their last name) would even gain all of their powers at one point and join the New Warriors hero team for a short while. I would tell you the whole story, but frankly I didn't read the original issues and I'd rather not simply rely on the information from the Wikipedia page as I eventually want to hunt this down and read it myself (Plus I want you guys to do it too). Their father is a scientist, one who discovered a way of turning antimatter into energy, in fact that was the catalyst for the whole story. Nope, they had both of their parents and everything, parents who were unaware that their kids had powers.

Something interesting when it came to these characters is that, unlike most superhero characters like Batman or Superman or even Spider-Man, the Power Pack kids weren't orphans. They were the first team of pre-teen superheroes set in the Marvel universe, and consists of four siblings of two boys and two girls (Not unlike my own family growing up) that were given powers by a dying horse looking alien they called Whitey from the Kymellian race so they coulkd defend their world against aliens known as the Snarks. As stated earlier the Power Pack was a series at Marvel that was created by Louise Simonson and June Brigman in August of 1984, one that lasted for a total of 62 issues (Not a bad run). SInce there's not really a lot of trivia about this pilot specifically I might as well talk about the Power Pack themselves, and their other appearances either in comics or outside of comics. And the clock is ticking for if their parents find out they will have more than just phantoms to worry about". Mobius if they are to have any chance of setting things straight. Now Alex, Jack and little sis Katie have to enter the creepy mansion of Dr. Soon the object begins taking its toll on the Power's kids with an ominous storm overhead, and the phantom of Dr. There Jack and his friends are soon startled and leave, but not before Jack picks up a medallion lying on the floor. A typical day at school soon finds Jack accepting a challenge to go into the abandoned spooky mansion of former circus owner Dr. They each subtly use their powers to get by, but not with the approval of their parents who wish for the children to act normal enough so as to not attract undue attention. Alex still needs to find his science book for class, Jack loses his retainer down the drain, Julie's room is a mess, and the youngest Katie just wants to be invited to play with the neighborhood kids. "The Power's kids have been given superhuman abilities, but that doesn't necessarily mean that adjusting to a new home will be any easier. But hey, we can agree on this next fact I'm sure, at least it's not Catwoman from 2004. It would air infrequently on the Fox Kids network during their off season, but for the most part became one of many hidden "gems" that Marvel would probably like to forget about.
