* BarrierWarrior: Victor's default power is a weak force field. It's just about able to deflect a glancing blow from a punch or a knife, but not much more.

''Power Line'' (styled as ''Powerline'' on covers) is a superhero comic book series published by the Creator/EpicComics imprint of Creator/MarvelComics.

It's part of the ComicBook/{{Shadowline}} shared universe, set in a world where a second, hidden race - the Shadow Dwellers - evolved alongside humanity. Individually, Shadow Dwellers are more powerful than humans, but humans vastly outnumber them and so they've tended to stay hidden.

Victor and Lenore are the titular Shadow Line, two young Shadow Dwellers who grew up with minor powers. Victor has a weak force field; Lenore can defy gravity for leaps that are almost - but not quite - flight. However, when they're together, their powers seem to be supercharged.

!!''Power Line'' includes the following tropes:
* AnArmAndALeg: Uncle Ripley's gift allows him to transmute his hands to metal. Eric Ravenscore deals with this by severing his right hand at the wrist.
* ArrangedMarriage: Lenore's parents are keen to arrange a marriage with Eric Ravenscore. Lenore seems happy to oblige, until he shows his true colors.
* SelfMadeOrphan: Eric needs a scapegoat for Lenore and Victor's escape and decides that his own father, Tyler, is no longer useful enough to live.
