The Power Pack Marvel comic book series premiered in May 1984 and the series continued through early 1991. Power Pack is a registered trademark of Marvel Comics.







In 1991, following the cancellation of the original comic, Marvel developed Power Pack into a live-action show for NBC's Saturday children's television lineup. While a pilot episode was made, the series was not picked up. The pilot has been aired several times during regular children's programming on Fox as a Saturday Morning Special.

Minor alterations to the concept were made for the pilot:

The children's parents are aware of their superhuman abilities.

Julie's acceleration power was altered to movement at superhuman speed, without the ability to fly.

The "cloud" aspect of Jack's density power was eliminated; he was only able to shrink in size.

The children did not wear costumes.

Starred: Nathaniel Moreau (Alex), Margot Finley (Julie), Bradley Machry (Jack), Jacelyn Holmes (Katie), Jonathan Whittaker (Jim), and Cheryl Wilson (Margaret).


LEEE777 - I kinda think at the time this could have turned into something good for the younger ones, its a pity nothing came of it. I for one always wondered what it was like ever since I saw it in the preview comic 'Marvel Age' and now I know. So bare in mind it was made in the early nineties, what do you all think?

As always comments and thoughts below.
