Line 53:
* [[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 1989) her age is given as... 5 and a half.
** School starts in issue 7 (February 1985), leaves start falling in issue issue 14 (September 1985) and issue 19 (February 1986) is set on Thanksgiving. Issue 21 (April 1986) up to issue 26 (October 1986) have NYC covered in snow before it vanishes in in issue 27 (December 1986) . Roughly a year passes in two years, so far so good...
** School is back in session in issue 28 (February 1987), Julie graduates elementary school in issue 45 (April 1989), the family goes on a summer vacation in issue 48 (August 1989) with Katie's age being given as "five and a half" the previous issue. Issue 60 (November 1990) is back to school and the series is then canceled at issue 62 (because it turned ''terrible'' at 56). The plot is concluded in the Holiday Special (February 1992) and ends the plot during the Christmas season. Now a time scale has advanced to ''5 years''.
* [[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
