Energizer
Real Name: Katie Power Occupation Student Identity: Secret Other Aliases:Starstreak, Counterweigt II Legal Status: Citizen of the United States with no criminal
record, still a minor Place of Birth: Richmond, Virginia Marital Status: Single Known Relatives: James (father), Margaret (mother), Alex,
Jack (brothers), Julia (sister), Roy Craig (grandfather) Group Affiliation: Power Pack Base of operations: New York City First Appearance: POWER PACK #1
History: Katie Power is the youngest child
of Dr. James Power,
a physicist who was working for the United States government
on a means of producing large quantities of energy cheaply
through combining matter and anti-matter. (The sub-atomic
particles composing anti-matter have opposite charges
to those of the equivalent particles of matter itself.
When matter contacts anti-matter, both are converted entirely
into vast quantities of energy.)
An alien Kymellian named Aelfyre
Whitemane learned of Power's discovery and intended
to stop it from being used. Whitemane knew that a device
such as Power's would, despite Power's good intentions,
trigger a chain reaction that would destroy the Earth.
Moreover, he knew that Power's device was sought by the
alien Z'nrx, nicknamed "Snarks,"
who intended to use it to conquer inhabited worlds.
Sharks captured Dr. Power and his wife Margaret,
intending to force him to reveal the secret of his device.
Whitemane saved the Powers' children. Alex, Julia. Jack,
and Katie, from being captured, but he himself was fatally
wounded in the process. Dying, Whitemane transtarred each
of his superhuman powers into one of the four children,
and asked them to use their new abilities to save their
world.
Katie named herself the Energizer, after her own
power, and the four children called themselves the Power
Pack. Power Pack thwarted the Snarks, rescued their parents,
and destroyed Dr. Power's dangerous matter/anti-matter
converter, thereby saving the Earth from destruction.
The four children have since continued to have adventures
as Power Pack.
Height: 3 ft. 7 in. Weight: 41 lbs. Eyes: Blue Hair: Strawberry blonde
Strength Level: Energizer has the normal
human strength of a girl of her age, height, and build,
who engages in a normal amount of exercise for her age
(mostly through playing).
Known Superhuman Powers: Energizer can
project "power balls" of force from her chest,
which carry great destructive impact. In order to amass
enough energy to form the "power balls," Energizer
must disintegrate an object and absorb the released energy
into herself. Apparently Energizer does not convert all
of the matter she disintegrates into energy, or create
nuclear reactions within it; if she did, she would release
far more energy than she has so far. Probably she disintegrates
matter by severing the bonds holding its molecules together.
Energizer prefers to derive energy by disintegrating solid
objects or liquids; gases, except in impractically large
amounts, could not give her sufficient energy. When charged
with energy, Energizer's body often glows with crackling
power.
At first Energizer had little control over her
power, and would accidentally fire power balls on becoming
angry or frightened. Moreover, the power balls would fly
off in all directions from her chest. With practice and
determination, however, Energizer has since learned how
to fire the power balls when she wishes to, and in the
specific direction she wishes. There are undefined limits
to the amount of time she can contain certain amounts
of energy within her body, and she sometimes may be forced
to release power balls simply to rid herself of excess
energy.
Through practice with the Morlock named Erg, Energizer
has learned how to absorb energy fired at her and then
use it to create power balls. It is as yet unclear whether
she can do this with all forms of energy or not.
Energizer's power is limited by the amount of
energy she can absorb. She can easily absorb and release
enough energy to destroy several steel beams at once,
as she did when she caused a building under construction
to collapse upon the being known as Kurse. Straining to
her utmost limit, Energizer once absorbed tremendous amounts
of mystical energy from the enchanted hammers of Thor
and Beta Ray Bill, and released it upon Kurse. It was
enough power to stun that being, who was then over twice
as strong as Thor, into unconsciousness. Presumably as
Energizer grows older, she will be able to surpass her
present limits in utilizing her power.
Paraphernalia: Energizer wears a special
costume made of unstable molecules by the Kymellian smartship
Friday. The costume can be intangible and invisible, but
will materialize on her when she wills it to do so.
