Power Pack is a fictional team of superheroes consisting of four young siblings appearing in American comic books published by . Created by writer and artist June Brigmanthey first Powers: Supergroup v. 4 in their own series inwhich lasted 62 issues, and have since appeared in other books. is the first team of preteen superheroes in the and the first in comics to operate without adult supervision. The title retains a cult following and in was relaunched as a title aimed at younger readers—though this was eventually declared a separate continuity from that of the original series. During the early s, Marvel Comics had a Powers: Supergroup v. 4 that all their editors should also be writers. Despite this, Louise Simonson recalled. I had resisted Shooter 's encouragement to write stuff or do freelance stuff because I thought he had writers whose livelihoods depended on their doing books and it didn't feel fair to take the work away from them. Powers: Supergroup v. 4 had a job. But then Shooter hired a whole batch of new editors, and my workload was cut in half. I got bored and I thought I should create something rather than take one of the jobs that were already there, so I proposed the idea for "Power Pack" to Shooter. He eventually loved the idea, and so that was Powers: Supergroup v. 4 taste of writing. I Powers: Supergroup v. 4 it more challenging than editing, and way more fun, because I had been editing for a long time so I think it had gotten too easy for me. Simonson chose as Power Pack's penciler because Powers: Supergroup v. 4 her talent for drawing children. Dramatic changes were made to the series' art and storylines inwhen Michael Higgins and Tom Morgan were brought in to make the comic edgier and more adult beginning with issue The changes were largely reviled by Power Pack readers, and the series was canceled six months later with issue A year and a half after the cancellation of the series, creators Louise Simonson and June Brigman teamed up on the Power Pack Holiday Specialwhich undid all of the plotlines started by Michael Higgins. It was Powers: Supergroup v. 4 UK's practice at the time to use a less well-known series as a second strip in a comic devoted to more recognizable characters, and Power Pack became the "back-up strip" in a run of Marvel's licensed weekly Return of the Jedi. Power Pack subsequently became the back-up strip for the ThunderCats comic, where it remained until its eventual replacement with the Galaxy Rangers series. While the characters of Power Pack were children, the series often Powers: Supergroup v. 4 with mature issues. Powers: Supergroup v. 4 the themes addressed were pollution[6] drug abuse[7] , [8] kidnapping[9] gun violence[10] bullying[11] orphanhood, [12] and homelessness. A major ongoing theme of the series was the relationship between Power Pack and their parents, Jim and Maggie. Unlike superheroes such as Spider-Man or Batmanthe Power children were not "conveniently" orphaned and alone; instead, they were part of a loving and supportive family. In spite of this, they decided early in Powers: Supergroup v. 4 series to keep their powers and activities completely concealed from their parents. Keeping their powers secret sometimes led the members of Power Pack to deceive their family and friends and to feel guilty about doing so. For instance, in one incident, Julie was forced to allow her school friends to be beaten up by bullies instead of using her powers to defend them. Jack, for instance, found it "cool" to have a secret, [13] while the older and more responsible Julie, who had originally suggested that the powers be concealed from their parents, [14] quickly reversed her opinion and felt that they needed to be told sooner or later. Power Pack readers also argued the matter out in the letter pages. The writers also emphasized that the Pack had to learn to deal with their powers—and their lethal potential—responsibly. In one early issue, Jack was wracked with remorse when he thought he Powers: Supergroup v. 4 killed a man. InPower Pack was Powers: Supergroup v. 4 with Spider-Man in a special comic designed to fight sexual abuse. The one-shot issue, written by Louise Simonson, was distributed free and reprinted Powers: Supergroup v. 4 the comics sections of many major newspapers. Inthe team was featured with Cloak and Dagger in a special , which addressed the issues of teen homelessness and runaways. Hotline telephone numbers for Covenant House were printed on the back cover for readers seeking help. The Power Pack letters column, titled "Pick of the Pack", printed drawings and jokes about the characters submitted by readers, an unusual practice for a Marvel title. Ina four-part Power Pack mini-series was released. In this series, the kids' ages had advanced a few years: Katie was now in the fifth grade having skipped two grades due to her intelligence Powers: Supergroup v. 4, Julie and Jack were in junior high, and Alex was in high school. James and Maggie, the children's parents, had at some time learned about Power Pack. The series once again pitted the Pack against Queen Mauraud Powers: Supergroup v. 4 the Snarks in outer space. A new Power Pack story was commissioned for the Marvel Holiday Special, [22] which would have been the first original material featuring the full cast in the standard Marvel Universe since the mini-series. It was briefly summarized "Power Pack relives holidays past" in official Marvel solicits, but the story was scrapped from the publication at the last minute, when it was decided to prioritize recently canceled title The Lonerswhich features Julie Power among its cast. A story written by CB Cebulski ran in place of the Power Pack strip, though the official publicity release Powers: Supergroup v. 4 solicit information still lists the Power Pack story and description. Three of the Power siblings, Alex, Jack, and Katie, appear within as guests celebrating their former teammate Franklin Richards' birthday. Alex age 12[26] Julie 10[27] Jack 8[28] Powers: Supergroup v. 4 and 5 [30] were bright, normal American children living with their parents in a beachfront house in Virginia. Their father, Dr. James Powerwas a physicist who discovered a process to generate energy from antimatter with the assistance of a converter, of which he made a prototype. The process was, however, known to several alien races to cause chain reactions Powers: Supergroup v. 4 destroy planets, and Dr. Power's knowledge of the process was discovered by Aelfyre "Whitey" Whitemane, a member of the Kymellian race, who resemble humanoid horses. A similar accident destroyed the Kymellians' home planet. Whitey tried to stop the experiment by warning the Powers but was mortally wounded by his enemies, the reptilian Snarksin the process. The Snarks kidnapped Dr. Power and his wife, Margarethoping to obtain the secret of antimatter. Whitey rescued the Power children and told them what was happening. Before dying, he passed his powers to them to complete his mission. The children, with the help of Whitey's " smartship ", a sentient starship called Friday, managed to stop the antimatter test by stealing and destroying the converter and rescued their parents from the Snarks. They decided to continue being superheroes and to hide their powers from their parents. The costumes, which were constructed of unstable molecules and stored 'Elsewhere', could materialize and disappear on voice command. After rescuing their parents, the entire family moves to Powers: Supergroup v. 4 York City, where the team attempted to deal with normal "kid problems" such as bullies and loose teeth while battling some of the deadliest villains in the Marvel Universe. The Snarks generally attempted to kidnap the Power children and steal their powers. The team took great pains to conceal their superhuman abilities from their family and "normal" friends. However, during Infernowhen confronted by the demonic Carmody, the children were forced to reveal their powers to save their parents. They were restored to normal through the combined efforts of Mirage and Gosamyrwho convinced them that the super-powered children were clones created to protect them from Carmody and that the "real" Power children, who were powerless, had been taken away and guarded by the until Carmody was defeated. This explanation placated their parents and, once they were reunited with their "normal" children, their minds healed themselves. The "clones", which had been generated by Mirage, were then removed, making the children's secret safe once again. Another occasional member of the team was Franklin Richardsthe son of Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Womanwho went by the name Tattletale while adventuring. Sometime later, Alex underwent a transformation into a Kymellian, and Margaret Power began losing her mind. The Power family traveled to the UK to try to find help for Margaret and Alex, but the institute was overrun by Nightmare and they encountered Excalibur. After that the Powers visited the Caribbean. The children planned to enjoy the sun and sand while their father consulted with colleagues but found themselves confronted with what seemed to be an alien attack on the beach where they were relaxing. However, both Alex and his parents had been replaced Powers: Supergroup v. 4 "pseudoplasm" doubles by a renegade Kymellian Technocrat and his ally, the exiled Maraud called Meraud in this storyline. The real Alex and his parents were being held captive in the Technocrat's hidden satellite orbiting New Kymellia. Eventually, the other Power siblings learned the truth and rescued their family, switching powers several times as needed, and barely escaping from the satellite before it was destroyed by Maraud. Each of the children was back in possession of his or her original power, and their parents remained unaware of their children's powers and of Power Pack's existence. The Kymellians had given Alex the ability to absorb the powers of his siblings into himself and thus use them all. With these powers, he joined the superhero group under the name Powerpax, later . Alex eventually gave the others' powers back; the four reverted to their original names except Alex, who named himself Zero-G and Julie, who was now called Starstreakthe name Katie had chosen when she had Julie's powers. Alex politely refused, citing the conflicts his membership would cause among his siblings, though Katie offered her services, to Speedball's chagrin. At some point outside of any published story, their parents discovered that the children had superpowers and were active as superheroes. Following the events of the mini-series, Julie left the family home in unrevealed circumstances to try to become an actress in Los Angeles. During Marvel's event, Alex's codename Powerhouse was briefly mentioned by Ladan ex-teammate responsible for outing the secret identities of many New Warriors. He later joined ' project, which allowed gifted children living within the to map out the outlook for their generation. Sometime after the events of the mini-series, Julie Power concluded that adventuring had deprived her of a normal childhood. She dropped out of high school, left her family, and moved to Los Angeles to become an actress. She joined Excelsiora support group for "former" teenage superheroes, where she is once again known as Lightspeed. Excelsior's first mission was to return the members of Powers: Supergroup v. 4 Runaways to the foster care from which the children had absconded and ended with Excelsior battling . The Loners are all registered under the Superhuman Registration Act, but consider themselves retired from super-heroics [65] when Powers: Supergroup v. 4 are not battling super-powered menaces [66] or operating in public as superheroes attempting to capture runaway super-powered children. The Loners' support group has moved to New York City, where Julie is presumably seen, Powers: Supergroup v. 4 not named, at recent meetings. Julie was seen among the other young superheroes to arrive on the new campus Powers: Supergroup v. 4 the Academy[71] where she is attending Powers: Supergroup v. 4 as a teacher assistant, under Quicksilver's tutelage. Afterward, she joined the team as both teacher and Co-leader of the FF. The Power children had been captured and used by in his gruesome experiments which ended with fusing the four siblings together.

Marvel later noted that these stories take place on Earth as opposed to the established mainstream Marvel continuity of Earth Each of these first four Powers: Supergroup v. 4 focussed on one of the Power children and their respective troubles in balancing the secret of their powers with the demands of their daily lives.

Things happen in this one that seems to have a wider impact than the other 3 volumes, which kind of seemed like self-contained stories. There's a whole lotta spoilery stuff that happens and you finally get to know a tiny bit more about Christian and his life outside the police force. But the main storyline revolves around a group called FG-3 that seems to have been formed a bit like a boy band. Like I said, this is easily the most engaging story so far. A To me, this was the best story arc yet. After the clusterfuck that was the last volume, I wasn't really sure if I wanted to continue, but this one made it seem as though this might go somewhere interesting. View all 4 comments. Sep 17, Chad rated it it was amazing Shelves: Walker and Pilgrim investigate the death of the member of America's premier superhero team. The series takes a big shift during this arc, hinting at something of a conspiracy while big changes are in order for multiple characters. This is probably the best arc of the series so far. It also contains the first epic city wide fight of the series. Mar 23, James DeSantis rated it really Powers: Supergroup v. 4 it. After a long break Powers: Supergroup v. 4 decided to return to Powers, and what a book to pick it back up on! This one starts off with a big news report on a group of superheroes. At one point they were the biggest group of superheroes around, worth a shit load of money, and then suddenly they all begin to die. Explosion from the inside, some suicide squad shit going on. So of course we have our heroes, Walker and Pilgrim on the case. But as always, the truth is a lot darker than what is presented at the start. Powers: Supergroup v. 4 After a long break I decided to return to Powers, and what a book to pick it back Powers: Supergroup v. 4 on! Overall, this was probably the most bombastic book yet. Filled with some great chase scenes and a killer fight scene. Also, the art feels better and better, and so much like a awesome cartoon. I also enjoyed the emotional connection here with a really great moment at the end and middle of the story. The only thing I didn't love was the panels, as at times they can be confusing the order when it's a spread page or not. Overall, easily the best volume of the series so far. Now we're talking!

Our customer reviews On the back of this volume it says: "widely considered the best storyline Does it mean the next 10 volumes won't be worth buying if you don't like this one? It is however an absolutely cracking story. The great thing about Powers is seeing what aspect of the Super-mythos or real life will get the Bendis treatment next. This one is quite a popular subject - government sponsored heroes. This storyline has been tackled by such masterpieces as Authority, Supreme Power and so on. Bendis does not disappoint and it is all wrapped up in that neat little trademark whodunit format. All the checks for a great Powers story are here. There is another revelation about Walker, an unexpected death, great art, fantastic colours, an emotional rollercoaster and more genre innovations than you could shake a fist full of sticks at. We also get to see action take centre stage for the first time in what is basically a detective story. In many works action is either padding for a lack of writing or grandstanding by the artist. Here it isn't gratuitous, is wonderfully coloured and the shock ending takes your breath away. Special mention should go to the lettering. You don't Powers: Supergroup v. 4 many innovations in this area but this book innovates more than any other. Well done. This is probably the best and certainly most gripping tale yet and you are left wondering how they could possibly follow it up. The characters are left in a right pickle and how can anything be the same again. Will the next volumes come close or should I quit on a high? But all is not perfect. Why does such a mainstream book have so many typos in it? If I can spot them Powers: Supergroup v. 4 surely all the writers, artists, , letterers, editors and minions that Powers: Supergroup v. 4 this book before me could have too. I am always pleased to see an ethnically diverse cast of characters but please try and get their speech right. I am fine if Powers: Supergroup v. 4 all talk like stereotypes. I am fine if they all talk like me but don't make them switch constantly mid-speech Powers: Supergroup v. 4. But not enough to spoil what has been a Double Thumbs Up! Book ratings by Goodreads.
