Line 79:
* [[Sapient Cetaceans]]: In a particularly [[Anvilicious]] [[Green Aesop]] story, the Powers run into a whole pod of these.
* [[She's All Grown Up]]: In the ''Avengers'' crossover mini-series with the future story, future Katie has traded her cuteness for smoking [[Hot Amazon]].
** Gone through and out the other side when a ''much'' older Katie is encountered in the ''Days of Future Past'' future, where she's a plump little white-haired lady (and the last survivor of the Pack, with all four powers).
* [[Shout-Out]]: The Snarks are so named by Whitey after the [[Lewis Carroll]] poem "[[The Hunting of the Snark]]" because their actual racial name, "Z'nrx", is borderline-unpronouncable by human mouths.
* [[Sibling Team]]
** [[Bash Brothers]]
* [[Sixth Ranger]]: Franklin, and later Kofi.
* [[Super Family Team]]
* [[Temporal Paradox]]: Happens in the new all-ages series, specifically in ''Avengers & Power Pack Assemble'' #4. {{spoiler|The Pack are thrown 10 years into the future by Kang the Conqueror who goes on to defeat The Avengers and other heroes and conquer the world. The Pack meanwhile encounter none other than their future selves 10 years older.}}
* [[Touched by Vorlons]]: An alien gives the kids their special powers in the first issue.
Line 92 ⟶ 93:
* [[Wake Up, Go to School, Save the World]]
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Whitemane's entire race gets this when the Power Pack discovers what was done to their parents, in addition to discovering certain... glaring moral deficiencies in their society.
** Among other things, this includes Kofi's uncle essentially tricking the Power Pack -- who are a bunch of primary-school children -- into fighting against fully-trained adults in a gladiatorial arena without any form of defined limits or even actual ''consent''.
** Not to mention they have grown so used to artificial environments as a consequence of destroying their world that natural environments are actually repellent to most of them. Whitemane, it seems, was ''not'' a typical example of his race.
* [[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.
