Katie Power
Encyclopedia
Energizer is a fictional character in Marvel Comics' universe
. She first appeared in Power Pack
#1 and was created by Louise Simonson
and June Brigman
.
in issue 2 of the GLA: MISASSEMBLED miniseries, where she is seen wearing her Power Pack costume from the Marvel Adventures range of Power Pack titles while operating as a solo superhero, in Loners #4, she was purportedly the recipient of a phone call from her sister Julie - though Katie was not seen during this conversation and in Fantastic Four
#574, where she was among the guests for Franklin Richards
' birthday party. The character has since made appearances in several of Marvel's 'alternate continuity' imprints, most notably as a recurring cast member in several Marvel Adventures and MC2 titles (see bibliography at foot of page).
. Her full name is given as "Kate Power" in Power Pack #47. Katie was a founding member of the superhero team Power Pack
. The youngest of the four Power siblings, she was only 5 years old when she was given her powers by Aelfyre Whitemane
, a dying Kymellian noble. She continued to operate with Power Pack for the entirety of their published history, though it is suggested she is still infrequently active as a superhero by a later appearance in GLA: Misassembled (this humorous appearance is a single panel, and no details are given as to the nature of Katie's exploits beyond that she is involved in some form of violent dispute with A.I.M.
).
As the original series progressed, Katie grew into a much more assertive and sensitive individual. When she witnessed the physical damage she had done to Jakal and Kurse
, she began to realize the magnitude of her actions. After her involvement in the Snark Wars, in which she saved her siblings' lives, lost her energy powers and gained the flight/acceleration abilities formerly held by her sister Julie, Katie emerged as a stronger character and refused to use her powers to seriously harm people.
After the Snark Wars, whenever possible, Katie attempted to act as a rescuer. During The Fall of the Mutants, Katie even tried to save Pestilence
, in spite of the fact that the villain had just made her ill.
In spite of her youth, Katie has been a key member of Power Pack, and has played major roles in most of the team's battles. In numerous instances, she has rescued the entire team, uncovered crucial information and provided critical support in missions. When the Pack encountered Master Mold
, for instance, Katie saved Franklin Richards
' life by flying right under the giant robot's foot. In a separate incident, Power Pack was captured by evil mutants called the Morlocks
, and only Katie escaped. She managed to save her siblings with the help of some X-Men
, and was given honorary status by the team. In another memorable incident, she found herself lost in a blinding snowstorm in Manhattan, where she encountered a seriously injured and disoriented Wolverine
. She was able to assist him in his flight from Lady Deathstrike
and the Reavers
until he healed enough to neutralize his enemies. Katie also had another solo adventure at some point in which she was brought into conflict with the agents of A.I.M.
, whom she defeated while being 'scouted' as a potential recruit for the Great Lakes Avengers
, but not being familiar with her would-be recruiter, Doorman
(who was attempting to coerce her into accompanying him after approaching her in the dead of night), she refused membership.
Katie is highly intelligent; at five she was literate and able to write fluently enough to compose a "War Journal," copying the Punisher
. She is later depicted as a genius who has skipped several grades of school and can program supercomputers.
In the original series, Katie had a close, sibling-like relationship with the fifth Power Pack member, Franklin Richards. The two did not become friends immediately; during Franklin's first encounter with Power Pack, Katie disliked him on sight. She was jealous of the attention he received from the other members of the Pack, and perceived him as usurping her role as the "littlest superhero" and the team baby. However, after Franklin showed his courage in battle with Jakal, despite his lack of any "active" powers to defend himself, Katie's opinion of him improved considerably. Their relationship after their initial adventure was much more amicable, though still flavored with a pseudo-sibling rivalry. Franklin's superhero codename, "Tattletale," was taken at Katie's suggestion. Katie (along with her brothers Jack and Alex) was among the guests invited at Franklin's birthday party.
In the out-of-continuity Marvel Adventures Avengers and Power Pack Assemble! mini-series, an older Katie Power tells a younger, time-traveling self that her first boyfriend was Franklin Richards. This Katie's first encounter with Franklin occurred in the first issue of the later Fantastic Four and Power Pack mini-series.
. Katie initially had little control over her power, and tended to use it when she was frightened or angry, but as the series progressed, she gained control over her abilities.
During the Snark Wars, Katie voluntarily relinquished her energy powers to the Snark
prince Jakal. Her siblings had already had their abilities forcibly taken from them by Jakal. In the ensuing battle, the powers reverted back to the Power siblings one by one and Katie ended up with Julie's flight powers.
While she held Julie's flight powers, Katie was known as Starstreak. She was able to fly quickly, leaving a stream of rainbow light in her wake. While Katie as Starstreak was never able to break the sound barrier as her sister Julie supposedly did, she did refine the power by developing hovering abilities.
After Queen Mother Maraud briefly gained the abilities of Power Pack in Power Pack #52, Katie ended up with the gravity powers previously held by her brothers Alex and Jack. She took the same code name Jack had used, Counterweight. She was able to float, "gravitize" to any surface, and cancel the gravity of any object she touched. She was also able to increase her own gravity to deliver "Super-G" powerful punches and make herself extremely heavy.
During Power Pack's mission in the Technocrat's space station, Katie regained her original energy powers. She continues to use these abilities under her original name of Energizer.
Along with her siblings, Katie possessed Kymellian healing powers. Usually, she was required to work with her siblings to generate and use this ability; however, she occasionally accessed it on her own.
Katie and her siblings also owned a Kymellian smartship called Friday
. The ship acted as an unofficial team advisor and accompanied the Pack on several missions.
Throughout her affiliation with Power Pack, Katie wears a costume of unstable molecules
created by Friday. The costume exists in an extra-dimensional space known as "Elsewhere" until summoned by voice command (the wearer would say the words "costume on!"). The costume also houses a communicator which is used to communicate with Friday, and was later modified to include a mask. As with all the team's costumes, the pockets of the costume can be used as an access point to Elsewhere itself, where the cartoon-like creatures known simply as "The Tailors" reside in a colorful wonderland of talking dinosaurs, enchanted forests, mad monarchs, surreal architecture and malleable physical laws. Katie was the only member of Power Pack to actually visit Elsewhere; while there, she learned how to modify the team's costumes.
Katie also owned a gold Kymellian coin, which was a present from her "honorary godfather," Lord Byrel. Both the Pack's enemies and allies were able to use the coin as a tracking device to locate the team.

young boy fashion. However, Franklin seems to reciprocate the crush when he realizes that Katie has a talent for mischief and mayhem similar to his own. In the Franklin Richards: Son of a Genius-School's Out story, Picnic Panic, she accidentally reveals her superpowers to Franklin while saving him from giant ants, which he describes as "so cool!"
