>>105033876I know she's just mind controlled here, but the idea of Katie fighting evenly against someone like Wolverine or Juggernaut or Doom is kind of neat.
That's one thing that always set apart western and eastern comics. Western rarely seems to have younger kids that can go toe to toe with adults, outside of exceptions liks Billy Batson or Godboy/plot device Franklin, or various sidekicks of 'real' heroes. And even then, usually late teens. there's probably more exceptions in cartoons, but not the iconic and famous comic universes.
On the flipside you've got plenty of Astroboy and Kid Goku and CCS expy characters that are major bruisers in their own right. Plenty of adult characters too, but shounen and shoujo are not at all shy about having tweens tear shit up. I can't imagine Power Pack being seriously on par with the XMen or Avengers but if they were in a manga? Easily.
