Line 50:
* [[Create Your Own Villain]]: {{spoiler|The Pack's [[Arch Enemy]], Douglas Carmody aka "The Bogeyman", is already something of a villain when we first see him (planning to weaponize Dr. Power's converter technology rather than using it to provide cheap power [[Straw Character|and calling Dr. Power a "hippie" for wanting to do any less]]), but he descends into full-blown supervillainy after the converter is destroyed, descending into madness, losing the remnants of his fortune, his marriage, and basically his whole life... which he blames the Powers for.}}
* [[Comic Book Time]]: Katie's age is given as 5 in Uncanny X-Men 205 (May 1986), if not earlier. In issue 47 of her native series (July of 1989) her age is given as... 5 and a half.
* [[Continuity Snarl]]: The ''Shelter From the Storm'' PSA comic was released in 1989, but can't be fit in continuity anywhere from issue 22 (1986) to the end of the series (1992) because {{spoiler|the Power Pack has the wrong powers}}. The trade compilation places it next to issue 17, but this creates a small issue where the group's mom mentions Nintendo games as though Jack had a long obsession with them, but it's placed with comics where the latest came out when the NES had only been released for a few months.
* [[Cute Bruiser]]: Katie
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Even though ''Power Pack'' always took itself seriously and wasn't afraid to portray its young heroes realistically and even put them in violent danger, apparently this wasn't enough for some people. At one point, the comic took an angsty turn and started shoving [[Body Horror]] and [[Nightmare Fuel]] all over the place, which was ultimately [[Retcon|retconned]] out of existence by the original creators in a "holiday special", which returned the stories to the "not too dark, not too light" mood it originally had.
