The second member of the family as seen in Power Pack is the mother, Margaret Power, portrayed by Cheryl Wilson. She, as well as her husband, is seen perfectly aware of her children’s super powers, thus eliminating one of the big tropes from the original comicbooks, but apparently the four kids put themselves into trouble only when she’s out buying groceries and such, replicating in a way the same mechanics. In the comics, on the opposite, her being oblivious to her kids’ life as superheroes is something that put in motion many of their adventures… and that almost costs her her sanity. Let’s see together.
Not much is known about Margaret Craig‘s life before she married James Power. She was born in Atlanta, Georgia, daughter of Roy Craig, and she grew up with her sister Pauline. She became an artist, working mostly as a freelancer, something made easier for her by her husband’s job 
in a government research facility in Maine. The two had four children together, two sons, Alex and and Jack, and two daughters, Katie and Julie, and Margaret loved them all like the world… even if it wasn’t exactly an easy job to raise them. Life went on pretty much as normal as it could, until something from James’ work violently broke into their lives: apparently, her husband had invented something so dangerous and powerful that even other races wanted it, and Margaret was kidnapped along with her genius spouse by the Zn’rx, space conquerors. These lizard-like aliens kept her and her husband captive on their spaceship, until they were rescued by some mysterious super-powered saviors, who brought them back to Earth. Here, she agreed with her husband that his work in the facility had become too dangerous, and she supported him in finding a new, “more normal” job. As James was hired as a professor in Columbia University, the entire family moved to New York City, ready to start a new chapter of their lives. Unfortunately, as the kids disappeared in thin air while (allegedly) sledding in Central Park, Margaret realized that “safe” wasn’t something her family would have known for a long, long time. Maybe never again.
Eventually, also thanks to the help of the vigilantes Cloak and Dagger, the Powers managed to locate their children, but the circumstances of their disappearance was too much for the two parents to accept: they were secretly the super group known as Power Pack, and they had been kidnapped by the same aliens who had abducted them both time before. Wanting to ease Margaret’s and James’ 
minds, taking away the burden of constantly being worried for their children and their encounters with evil aliens, Yrik Whitemane, lord of the benevolent Kymellians, used his psychic powers on them, functionally reprogramming their personalities. This way, both Margaret and James became highly susceptible to anything their children told them, making it almost automatic for them to accept any excuse or rationale for their sudden and prolonged disappearances, as long as they all stuck to the same version, of course. This mental block worked for a while, and Margaret lived her life in New York being none the wiser to her kids’ heroic outings… but then demons started invading Manhattan, and both Margaret and her husband witnessed the Power Pack in action. Confronting the hard truth of their children’s lies caused a violent emotional backlash, with the parents’ minds struggling against the mental block: as a result, they went from catatonic to hysterical, with more than a possibility of going completely insane as a result. Things were solved by the intervention of Dani Moonstar, who recreated and strengthened the block with her illusion-casting powers… but if and how long this trick would have worked this time, remained to be seen.
Margaret Power, née Craig, is a creative and inventive artist, with an uncanny sensitivity. The same sensitivity she employs in her family life, in both her roles as wife and mother, and she did her best to become a living safe haven for her children. Unfortunately for her, the kind of world she wants to protect her kids from is far bigger and more dangerous than she can even imagine…
