Talk:Julie Power

Sexual orientation

Shouldn't this be addressed in the article? I don't know if it was confirmed but it's directly implied in Runaways and Loners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.154.166.245 (talk) 15:47, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

We don't operate on implications. Until it's stated in the comics themselves or by a verifiable third party source with direct information, she's straight. Nezu Chiza (talk) 04:19, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It wasn't 'implied' in Runaways, as that was a scene meant to address Karolina's sexual identity more than Julie's - Karolina's sexual preference was a running joke in Runaways' first few years. In a Newsarama thread, the writer of Loners said that the character was 'a little confused', which can mean almost anything, and given her previous portrayal as a heterosexual in the original Power Pack, the 2000 miniseries, and the all-ages titles, the weight of evidence more likely suggests a bit of sleight-of-hand on the part of the writer. It's not impossible that she's now gay, however, given Loners' writer disregarded previous canon with a great many elements of the characters in that series, but as said by the above poster, until it becomes more than fan speculation we can't say for sure in an encyclopedic entry, otherwise Iceman/Bobby Drake would have a much larger article.

Picture

Since the Starstreak picture is actually more appropriate for her sister (who had the power at that time, while Julie had the mass-related power), it should probably be removed... Hossenfeffer 01:17, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, there should be some NEW images of Julie Power, based upon her recent appearances from both RUNAWAYS & THE LONERS Mini....PaxHouse 17:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

That article only has one picture so far: . I haven't actually read this miniseries so would anyone know if she is pictured in this or does another need to be found? Maybe she's the one lying with midriff exposed on the bottom? Just going based on hair colour here. Tyciol (talk) 01:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Info on Alternate Adult Julie....

Since the info was based on the Avengers/Power Pack Mini; this has been moved and updated appropriately within her entry here. PaxHouse 19:35, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Powers and abilities cleanup

I removed the following from the powers section

'It is never made clear what shield-related powers Julie developed during unrevealed circumstances between the Power Pack 2000 series and her reappearance in Runaways/Loners as they have not been mentioned in any Marvel publication since - though she did possess the ability to create shields when she had her brother Jack's powers and called herself Molecula (see above). The only other instance in which a Power family member has displayed the powers of another was when Alex had been replaced with a pseudoplasmic duplicate. However, Julie's duplicate (Krenok One, the only one of the Technocrat's servants ever specifically mentioned by name) was destroyed when Alex (then Mass Master) used his powers to damage the machinery that maintained control over the Kymellian/Julie pseudoplasmic form. Though control was later reasserted over them and they were used to attack Power Pack, shortly after this attack it and all other such entities were blasted into space and presumably frozen (Friday earlier states that such beings required atmospheric pressure to retain their shape, but did not clarify if exposure to space would kill them) by the actions of an unrepentant Jack Power - thus the creature's eventual fate remains unknown.'

This is convoluted and contains far too much unnecessary background. I also removed a reference to the Leapfrog's lasers having not harmed her as they did not harm any of the others.

'In unrevealed circumstances at some point between the Power Pack 2000 miniseries and her reappearance in Runaways/Loners, Julie became a superhuman-level martial artist. It is not revealed what discipline she has studied, though she has battled Ricochet (whose powers and abilities are of a similar level to Spider-Man's) to a near-draw without resorting to using her powers.'

The scene in question is a rehearsed choreographed fight scene on a film set and does not imply any martial talents.--64.231.19.74 (talk) 01:41, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd leave the reference to the leapfrog incident since that - and the mention of the character surviving a blow from a weapon already seen to be lethal - references a new power that has been used on the page several times yet not previously established in canon, hence the paragraph "It is never made clear what shield-related powers Julie developed during unrevealed circumstances between the Power Pack 2000 series and her reappearance in Runaways/Loners as they have not been mentioned in any Marvel publication since - though she did possess the ability to create shields when she had her brother Jack's powers and called herself Molecula (see above)."

As for the staged martial arts fight, both participants expressed surprise at the others' moves - Ricochet was even taken off-guard at one point. The director of the film also states earlier that he hired both characters so they could bring their own abilites to the action sequences, and no choreography is ever seen, mentioned or implied. It's not how real movies are made, of course, but then you could just as well ask how a single, ground-level crane-mounted camera manages to follow two people moving at superhuman speed across several rooftops to capture a fight that would be shot from many different angles, why the actors are dismissed after the first take, why the director is unaware of the age of an actress revealed to be a minor when USC 2257 makes a legal record of a performers age a legal requirement, or why the director and not the assistant director is the one who calls "action/cut". Realism is not a factor in the story, even before you take the superhero angle into account.Frotworthy (talk) 22:32, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Not Bisexual

In Avengers Academy #23, Julie reveals that she's pansexual rather than bisexual. 2001:569:FB92:CF00:5D09:17B7:71DC:D0FD (talk) 15:04, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
