Aelfyre Whitemane

Aelfyre 'Whitey' Whitemane is a Kymellian alien who, mortally wounded and unable to stop a catastrophic threat to Earth, transfers his people's energy powers to the four young Power children and entrusts them with his sentient starship, giving rise to the superhero team Power Pack.

A rare gem from Marvel's Bronze Age, Aelfyre Whitemane made their debut in U.S. 1 #10 in 1984, courtesy of creators Milgrom and Springer, and has quietly persisted in the Marvel catalog for over two decades. With three key-issue appearances to their name across just six catalogued appearances, this character punches well above their weight in collector significance. Aelfyre shares the page with the likes of Mass Master, Lightspeed, Katie Power, and Gee — a roster that signals some fascinating corners of the Marvel Universe were in play. A true deep-cut discovery for the dedicated fan who loves unearthing the Bronze Age's more elusive figures.
