ABC's supernatural family comes to Comic Con.

The new action drama, “No Ordinary Family,” live at the Con takes place on Saturday, July 24.

In the series, the Powells are about to go from ordinary to extraordinary. After 16 years of marriage, Jim (Michael Chiklis) feels disconnected from his workaholic wife Stephanie (Julie Benz) and two teenage children, Daphne (Kay Panabaker) and JJ (Jimmy Bennett).

To encourage family bonding time, Jim decides the family will join Stephanie on her business trip to South America. When their plane crashes into the Amazon River, they barely enjoy a moment to celebrate their survival before returning to the grind of everyday life. 

But they will soon realize that their lives have been forever changed.  Each member of the family starts to show signs of new, unique and distinct super powers. Will their newfound abilities finally bring them together or push them further apart?
