PROBLEMS UNDERGROUND (1985)

Power Pack continue to explore the Marvel Universe in their own, unique way when they take a trip down into the New York sewer system to face hungry crocodile and rogue mutants. Thankfully, the X-Men are on hand to get them out of their latest scrape as an odd alliance is formed...

Power Pack #11
The Power Pack kids head into the sewers to rescue a cat that ran down a storm drain, only to get separated by gushing water. Gee and Energizer return to the surface to get fire extinguishers for Gee's makeshift jetpack, while Lightspeed and Mass Master find themselves the target of those legendary sewer crocodiles. Gee and Energizer rescue their siblings but realise they left their school books in the sewer. Little do they realise the crocs were being controlled by a man who now has those books...

Power Pack #12
Power Pack's attempt to retrieve their school books gets them captured by a band of outcast Morlocks. Lucky for them, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat of the X-Men are in the tunnels, checking in with the Morlock leader, Callisto. The X-Men free Power Pack who learn the Morlock Annalee was trying to capture them to replace her lost children. Lightspeed finds the kitten and gives it to the young Morlock Leech. Everyone parts on positive terms, but Annalee is determined to make the Power Pack kids her own...
Uncanny X-Men #195
The Power family are woken by a thunderstorm, but James & Margaret Power don't recognise their own children. And there's no evidence of the four kids having ever been in the house. They figure the Morlock Beautiful Dreamer must have changed their parents memories and, taking a trip back into the sewers, they quickly realise they're right! Power Pack are captured by the Morlocks again, all except for Energizer whose face is warped by Masque as she makes her escape. She's found on the surface by police and Shadowcat - watching news coverage on TV - recognises her costume.

Shadowcat leads Rogue, Rachel Summers and Wolverine into the sewers where they come under attack from Annalee's rogue Morlocks and three mutated, brainwashed members of Power Pack. Callisto arrives and puts a stop to the carnage. Energizer makes Annalee see the error of her ways and the team are restored to their normal selves. Then, Rachel gets a psychic alert from the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters. But it's coming from Magneto...
