Description:  The Power Team was a short-lived 1990s cartoon segment within the Video Power show, featuring heroes from Acclaim Entertainment's video games (like NARC, Wizards & Warriors, Kwirk) brought to the real world by host Johnny Arcade to fight villains from their games, such as Mr. Big and Joe Rockhead, often to retrieve "game paks" and return home, mixing action with a bit of Christian messaging about good vs. evil.

Premise: Video game characters escape their digital worlds and fight evil in the human world, battling villains from their own games.

Main Characters: Johnny Arcade: The show's host, who summons the team. Max Force (from NARC): A gadget-wielding operative. Kuros (from Wizards & Warriors): A warrior hero. Kwirk (from Kwirk): The Chilled Tomato. Tyrone (from Arch Rivals): A basketball player. Bigfoot: A monster truck.

Main Villains: Mr. Big, Spike Rush, and Joe Rockhead (from NARC), plus Malkil from Wizards & Warriors.

Goal: To stop villains from using game cartridges (game paks) to cause chaos and to eventually return to their own worlds safely.

Context: A segment of Video Power, a show that also featured video game news and tips, aiming at young audiences.
