Line 56:
** Played straight in one late issue has Mysterio try to buy the apartment building the family lives in while getting them to leave via [[Scooby-Doo Hoax]]. This scheme requires not only expensive fiberoptics, but also the money to buy an entire building of classy 3 bedroom apartments in New York in the first place. There's an implication there's something special about this building in particular, but this plot thread was never resolved.
* [[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.
* [[Friends Rent Control]]: The ability for Dr. and Mrs. Power to afford a 3 bedroom New York apartment while feeding and clothing 4 kids as a college professor and artist is hand waved as part of a deal by the college for the appartment, but their ability to live in a nice beachfront property in Maine at the start is never explained.
** Averted in the reboot where Dr. Power holds a much more prestigious job at a space elevator.
* [[Gender Equal Ensemble]]:
* [[Growing With the Audience]]: Starting with Snark Wars the series gets progressively darker, fleshing out both of its alien species from their [[Black and White Morality|exclusively good and evil nature]] and [[Planet of Hats|simple one sentence cultures]], forcing the kids to confront problems they can't solve just by beating them up and witness New York being turned into <s>hell</s> "limbo".
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Queen-Mother Maraud of the Snarks.
* [[Hair of Gold]]: Alex and Katie
