Line 29:
There was a failed [[Pilot]] for television series version, but it was never aired in the US, though it did appear on overseas channels and has circulated as a bootleg among fans for years. As of now, Marvel's new owner, [[Walt Disney Pictures]], is wondering if this kid team would be an obvious property to develop for a film.
Making a return in the pages of ''FF'' in February 2012 (the issue's title is even "[[The One With...|The One Where]] [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Power Pack Shows Up]]"), the first time the whole team's been together in the mainline Marvel Universe in more than a decade (real-world time, at least).
Not to be confused with a type of battery, or with the Matrix in the [[Blind Idiot Translation|very poor dub]] of ''[[Transformers Headmasters]]''.
Line 43:
* [[Bequeathed Power]]:
* [[BLAM Episode]]: Issue 34 of the original series. Not only is it never spoken of again, with Katie and Franklin (who feature prominently) wildly [[Out of Character]], [[Canon Dis Continuity|it's officially declared non-canon in the letters page of a later issue.]]
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Alex/Katie, Jack and Julie.
* [[Blue Eyes]]: The Power children.
* [[Body Horror]]: {{spoiler|This happens to Carmody, who is transformed into a demon.}}
Line 67:
** This is par for the course for Wolverine, though.
* [[Most Writers Are Adults]]: Handled far better than in most series involving [[Kid Hero|Kid Heroes]]. The characters actually act like kids and show childlike reactions to the things that happen around them and to them much of the time, but not all of the time. Personality-wise, they act childlike enough to be believable, while still being competent heroes. Dialog-wise, they're... a little smart for their age, though they still say childlike things. Of course, they ''are'' the kids of a genius.
* [[Mother Nature, Father Science]]
* [[Never My Fault]]: Carmody refuses to accept any responsibility for the converter not being ready and nearly blowing up the planet, instead blaming the Pack and carrying out a vendetta against them that is implied to have destroyed his career and even his marriage.
* [[Never Wake Up a Sleepwalker]]: Invoked. The children bring Franklin back to Avengers Mansion after witnessing the Morlock Massacre. When the adults find out about this, Franklin claims he was sleepwalking, and the other children say that they didn't wake him because it would be dangerous.
* [[One Person, One Power]]: Played straight for the whole main series, with the kids getting one power each. However, it turns out that someone could easily [[All Your Powers Combined|hold all four at once]], just like Whitemane did.
* [[Parental Obliviousness]]: At one point late in the story, enforced by mental blocks.
* [[Powers As Programs]]: The list of powers is what they ''started'' with. They exchanged powers a number of times.
Line 79:
* [[Sapient Cetaceans]]: In a particularly [[Anvilicious]] [[Green Aesop]] story, the Powers run into a whole pod of these.
* [[She Is All Grown Up]]: In the ''Avengers'' crossover mini-series with the future story, future Katie has traded her cuteness for smoking [[Hot Amazon]].
* [[Shout
* [[Sibling Team]]
** [[Bash Brothers]]
Line 96:
* [[Wolverine Publicity]]: Both exemplified and inverted. Wolverine was a regular guest, even notoriously showing up on a cover of ''Uncanny X-Men'' looking as if he were about to skewer Katie like an olive in a martini. But everyone guest-starred in ''their'' book during its original run, and the new miniseries are almost all team-ups.
* [[Write Who You Know]]: The Kids' parents are based off of Marvel creators Louise & Walter Simonson.
* [[X Called. They Want Their Y Back.]]: Taskmaster's reaction to the Power Pack's costumes. More specifically, "1991 called, they want their big metal boots ba-AAAAAAAAAAACK!"
* [[Your Favorite]]: When Franklin and Friday head into space to rescue the Powers, the Fantastic Four search for him. Some Avengers and Jarvis are staying at the Baxter Building; Jarvis, hoping they will find Franklin (and who at that point knew and loved Franklin as well as any of his family), buys as many of of Franklin's favorite foods as he can remember to welcome him home.
