The Mega Powers were a tag team in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The Mega Powers consisted of Hulk Hogan, and Randy Savage with Miss Elizabeth (at the time Savage's real life wife, though portrayed on-screen as his manager, with any further relationship not explained) serving as their manager respectively, and then later having Jimmy Hart serve as their manager.

Prior to the fall of 1987, Hogan and Savage were bitter enemies. In fact, from late 1985 through mid-summer 1987, the two often wrestled for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship, which Hogan had held since January 23, 1984. Hogan was able to defeat Savage on many of these occasions, although Savage gained some important countout and disqualification victories over Hogan as well. While Hogan was the most popular star in the WWF during most of this time, Savage -- who was the WWF Intercontinental Champion for many of their matches in 1986 and early 1987 -- had gained a strong following even during his heel days, and by July 1987, was starting to get more cheers than boos. A slow face turn for Savage was beginning, and gained credibility when an angle was started involving The Honky Tonk Man (a heel who had since won the Intercontinental Championship) began making disparaging comments about Savage.

The Mega Powers officially formed their alliance, then, on the October 3, 1987 episode of Saturday Night's Main Event (taped September 23, 1987), when Savage sought to win the Intercontinental Championship from Honky. When Savage hit his diving elbow drop finisher on Honky for the pin, The Hart Foundation (who at the time were villains, all three managed by Jimmy Hart) came in and attacked Savage, getting Honky disqualified.
