Real Name: Katherine “Katie” Margaret Power
Aliases: Counterweight, Starstreak
Identity: Secret
Occupation: Student
Citizenship: United States Citizen with no criminal record, still a minor.
Place of Birth: Richmond, Virginia
Known Relatives: James (father), Margaret (mother), Alex (brother), Julie (sister), Jack (brother), Roy Craig (grandfather), Opal (Aunt)
Group Affiliation: Power Pack
First Appearance: Power Pack #1 (Energizer), Power Pack #32 (as Starstreak), Power Pack #55 (as Counterweight)
History: The Powers children (Alex, Julie, Jack and Katie) all received their powers from Aelfyre Whitemane, a dying Kymellian noble, who bestowed power to them to help saved their world.

Katie gained the ability to absorb things she touched, which would disintegrate them; energize her entire body, then she could fire off “energy balls” of the destructive and often explosive results.

The Kymellian’s ship, a smartship named Friday, also provided costumes for the team; created from unstable molecules (similar to that developed by Reed Richards), the costumes exist – according to Friday – in an area known as “Elsewhere” – and can be summoned to appear by using the command word (“Costumes on”). 

As a member of Power Pack, Katie and her siblings, often found themselves battling an alien species known as Snarks who believed in the “survival of the fittest – by any means possible.” This included one of the female Snarks by the name of Maraud trying to siphon the powers of Power Pack into her own son, Jakal to become the rightful ruler of the Snarks and lead them to a war they could not lose. However, Jakal lose control of the power – and when the powers returned – they’d not returned to the original members of Power Pack in the same manner – Jack had gained his brother’s power – the ability to control gravity; Julie, who original could move at incredible speeds with a rainbow trail suddenly had gained Alex’s power; Katie, who once could absorb things and emit energy balls suddenly had Julie’s power; and Alex had suddenly had Katie’s power. 

Their powers would switch again, once again, thanks to battling Maraud later – when Julie suddenly regained her original powers; Alex gained Jack’s powers to turn to clouds; Jack gained Katie’s powers to absorb and emit energy balls; and Katie gained Alex’s original powers of controlling gravity. Their powers would switch one more time, returning to each of their original powers (Julie with the speed and rainbow; Katie with the absorbing and energy balls; Alex with the gravity; and Jack with the clouds).

Katie, along with the rest of Power Pack, would eventually meet another Kymellian named Kofi and have several adventures with him, including battling the Brood on multiple occasions as well as meeting a Snark named Princess Djinna, who was also young but not war-bound like the majority of her race. She and her mother, Djenteel, strived for peace and worked with Emperor Bhadsha to make that peace a reality.

Powers: As Energizer, Katie can project “energy/power balls” of force from her chest, which carry great destructive impact. In order to create these energy balls, she must first absorb something she touches which then disintegrates and energizes her entire body. Initially, Katie wasn’t always able to control this power – if she became frightened, she might accidentally disintegrate something she was touching and absorb its energy; and then the energy balls would be released in an uncontrolled fashion. Overtime, Katie learned how to control these powers and was able to fire the energy in a controlled manner. Katie even displayed the ability to absorb energy fired at her and energize her body to create the energy balls. The limits of what kind of energy Katie can absorb remains unknown.
