    The power pack was my first physical comic book. I forgot which issue but it was the power pack stopping mystique at a convention with I believe the help of beast. Sadly they’re often used as cheap shock value nowadays when I see them mentioned or incorporated in the wider marvel universe such as in deadpool kills the marvel universe to show how “dark” and edgy the story is by offing some kids.
