• Flight: Julie can fly at supersonic speeds while creating a stream of refracted light. She has Shift-X speed while in flight and can, if need be, hover in place.
  • Rainbow Contrail: She eventually learned to manipulate this trail so that she could stand on it, use it to cushion the falls of others, and even as a hammock. The contrail has an Excellent material strength if such a thing matters.
  • While in flight Julie (and those who she might carry) is protected by the glowing aura of her rainbow contrail at Incredible protection.
• Teleportation: Part of the acceleration powers that she received from 'Whitey' allows her to traverse great distances, seemingly without effort. She teleports in a flash of pink light and may carry up to 2 people with her over Poor (25 miles) range, but Amazing precision rank for the purposes of feat rolls.
• Group Healing: When the Power siblings are in close proximity to one another (3 areas) they heal faster and rarely get sick. Treat this as regeneration of health at 5 points a round (they can't regrow limbs or organs) and resistance to diseases at Excellent.

Julie’s costume is a bright pink unitard that covers her from neck to boot. The right sleeve of the unitard is pitch black, as well as a stripe that runs down the right side of her body and a square patch that runs from her neck to the middle of her torso. Within the centre of the black patch on her chest, is a stylized picture of a beam of light being refracted through a triangle. A pair of silver ridged boots complete her costume. The boots are reminiscent of those an astronaut may wear. When flying, Julie leaves a rainbow colored trail in her wake

Julie acts as the den-mother or conscience of her siblings. She always has words of warning or advice for everyone (in other words, she’s bossy), Alex in particular. She worries intensely about her siblings safety and openly yearns for a return of normalcy for their lives. More than any of the Power siblings, Julie struggles with her confidence and seeks to establish her identity among her peers. Julie worries that her powers aren’t unique enough and that her siblings will continue to outshine her in other aspects as well. She is actually quite jealous of Alex’s natural heroism, Jack’s ingenuity and precociousness and Katie’s undeniable charisma. Despite all of that, when push comes to shove, Julie is as brave and self-less as any of her siblings and will put her life on the line if it means that innocents will be saved. Even if it was done some reluctance or apprehension, she has faced villains as horrific as the Marauders, demons, and Snarks and never backed down.

• Power Pack Uniform: Made of Remarkable material strength unstable molecules, the closes provide Good Protection vs. heat and cold. Each member of Power Pack was given a costume made by the Smartship Friday. Franklin Richards was later given a costume by Friday as well. With the verbal command, "Costumes On," the costume will appear, replacing any existing clothes. The costumes are maintained when not in use by residents of an alternate reality known as Elsewhere. In addition to summoning, alterations to the costumes can be made by contacting the Elsewhere tailors with notes left in the pockets. Alterations include space worthy costumes and underwater ones as well. Notices also need to be left in the pocket to transform the costumes to indicate the powers possessed by its member. Additional accessories can also be added that become part of the permanent costume until the kids express a desire to alter them again. The pockets of each costume are portals to Elsewhere. Therefore, the kids can hold a significant amount of stuff in the pockets of their costumes without creating a bulge or weight. The limits of the Elsewhere tailors have yet to be expressed.

The members of Power Pack have each other as contacts as well as the original members of X-Factor; the Kymellian race; Starship 'Friday'.

Julie Power was born in Richmond, Virginia to Dr. James Power and Margaret Power. Julie was perhaps the most "normal" of the Power siblings. When she was not in "superhero mode" Julie could be quite shy and quiet. Julie was also a voracious reader, and was frequently seen reading, carrying or quoting books. She frequently stepped into a maternal role with her siblings, caring for Katie and Franklin Richards and attempting to restore peace during conflicts.

In battles, Julie possessed quick reflexes and was a strong fighter. In the Pack's initial conflict with Prince Jakal, Julie was able to single-handedly bring down the Snark's ship. She was also the only member of Power Pack to be directly responsible for the death of another — Pestilence, who fell to her death when Julie struck her with the "Julie Hammer" battle technique. Having begun superheroic activities as a child and spent nearly half her life in that role, Julie felt she had missed experiencing a normal life, and decided to retire from being a superheroine and focus more on her private life. During her first meeting with Excelsior, she explained that she wanted to become an actress. However, she (as well as the others within the group) agreed to go on the mission offered by Rick Jones to help bring in the Runaways for their own good. After the mission the decided that it was a one time thing and return to there support group.

Julie however felt the urge to make use of her powers again and dove off a building and soared through the sky. When Julie intruded during a battle between Hollow and Ricochet, she was stabbed through the shoulders by Hollow. Fortunately, her alien metabolism allowed her to heal from the wound quickly. Later, she enjoyed a conversation over burgers with Ricochet and had him take her to Marvel Studios for an audition. Julie, along with many other members of the Loners, joined Avengers Academy. She helped Striker come to terms with his sexuality. Soon after, the Academy came under attack by Hybrid. She became irritated with Striker when he resumed his egotistical facade and announced his sexuality as a publicity stunt. Later that day, the Academy came into brief conflict with the Runaways, who were searching for the dinosaur Old Lace. Hostilities ceased soon, and Julie briefly flirted with Karolina Dean before the search for Old Lace continued. After having retrieved Old Lace, Julie and Karolina made plans for a date.
