* AudienceAlienatingPremise: How come a serious, non-silly story about kid superheroes that took itself at face value didn't become big? That sentence says it all. It was a critical darling during the 1980s and had a lot of support among fellow comic book creators, but didn't fit well into UsefulNotes/{{the Dark Age|of Comic Books}}.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: At one point, a change in authorship was forced by ExecutiveMeddling to try to revive the series' popularity by going DarkerAndEdgier. BodyHorror, NightmareFuel, and plenty of angst followed. A couple of years later, the original creators did a "holiday special" that wrote the whole thing off as a deception by the kids' enemies, and returned to the original mood.

** Character arc-wise, Alex Power gets most of his rocky reputation with short-term and long-term fans from his stint with ComicBook/TheNewWarriors where he stole his siblings' powers and refused to give them back out of pure selfishness.
*** Not entirely selfishness (though that was definitely a factor.) Alex decided not to return the powers after losing a team mate and spending time with victims of genocide in Rwanda. He was clearly shaken by what he’d seen, and there was a genuine desire to protect his siblings from such horrors. He was still wrong, of course, but it wasn’t purely selfishness.

* CompleteMonster: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Douglas Carmody]] was a slovenly businessman who [[NeverMyFault blames the Power Pack for his misfortunes]], trying to [[WouldHurtAChild murder the kids]] as a result. Going into [[SuperhumanTrafficking metahuman trafficking]], Carmody styles himself as the Bogeyman to target and sell mutant children as slaves and weapons, dreaming of exterminating all of them for money, even trying to give some to demons. When turned into a demon himself, Carmody goes on a killing spree, trying to kill the Power Pack's parents in front of them, handing the world to demons just for a chance at revenge. Returning one last time against ComicBook/LukeCage as a disembodied spirit, Carmody begins possessing people to go on further killing sprees, trying for Luke Cage's body to start new horrific slaughters.
