History: Aelfyre Whitemane, who went by the nickname
"Whitey," was a Kymellian, a member of an alien
race dwelling somewhere in the Milky Way Galaxy. Whitey
was a scientist whose field was the study of alien races,
and his first assignment was the observation of Earth's
human beings. He carried out this assignment by monitoring
Earth communications transmissions and by tapping into
Earth computers from his sentient starship, called a "smartship."
Through monitoring Earth computers, Whitey learned that
the scientist Dr. James
Power had discovered a method of converting matter
to anti-matter without impractically large expenditures
of energy. Power's machine, which he called a matter/antimatter
converter, would also cause antimatter to contact matter
under controlled conditions.
In ages past the Kymellians had discovered the same matter/antimatter
conversion process, but they had tested it without realizing
that they had not yet mastered all of the physics that
the process involved. As a result, they had unwittingly
set off a chain reaction that had destroyed their planet,
killing all the Kymellians living upon it. However, there
were many Kymellians living on space stations and on planets
they had colonized, so the race survived. Whitey feared
that the testing of Dr. Power's matter/antimatter converter
might similarly destroy the Earth, and he sent a message
to the Kymellians telling them of Power's discovery and
asking permission to warn Power of the conversion process's
dangers despite Kymellian laws against interference with
alien races.
The message was intercepted by the Z'nrx, a reptilian
race from another galaxy whom Whitey called "Snarks."
The Sharks intended to use Power's matter/antimatter conversion
process as a weapon for conquering their own galaxy, and
shot down Whitey's smartship. Damaged, the smartship landed
on Earth near Dr. Power's home. The Sharks .then kidnapped
Dr. Power and his wife Margaret,
intending to force them to reveal the formula for the
matter/antimatter conversion process.
Dr. Power's four children found Whitey's smartship, and
two of them, Alex and Katie,
met Whitey himself. Whitey used his powers to rescue the
two other children, Jack
and Julia, from the
Snarks, but in doing so, Whitey was mortally wounded by
a blast from a Snark laser gun.
A Kymellian can transfer his powers to another Kymellian.
Whitey decided to try to divide his powers among the four
children, so that they could escape the Snarks and stop
the converter from being activated. Aelfyre Whitemane
initiated the transfer of power to the children and then
died, vanishing from sight. The children soon discovered
that they each now had one of Whitey's superhuman powers;
although the powers did not function in exactly the same
way that they did for Whitey. Using their powers and their
own wits, the Power children escaped the Snarks, destroyed
the converter, and rescued their parents. The Power children,
calling themselves the Power
Pack, still operate as adventurers today.

Strength Level: Aelfyre Whitemane possessed the
normal strength of a Kymellian of his age, height, and
build who engaged in moderate regular exercise. It is
not known exactly how this strength compares to that of
a human being.
Known Superhuman Powers: All Kymellians are born
with the potential to absorb and project energy, by altering
the molecular density of matter, to move themselves at
superhuman speed through teleportation or flight, and
to vary or reverse gravitational attraction. However,
a Kymellian must spend years of training to develop real
skill with these abilities. A Kymellian who does so is
called a "sorcerer" by the Snarks, although
these powers are not magical in nature. Having devoted
his life to science, Aelfyre Whitemane had not engaged
in the continual training necessary to develop his powers
fully.
