Is the general rule of thumb regarding standard powers:

"If it's not on the PAC it's not standard."

Just wondering if not being on the PAC = not standard.

As always, thanks to the HCR community.

I think pretty much with one acceptation the team base working together, I'm pretty sure thats standard now.

It is not a rule of thumb, it is a rule

Page 17 of the 2013 rulebook
POWERS AND ABILITIES
Powers are always printed on a combat dial, are visible through the stat slot, and are either standard powers (colored squares) or special powers (black-bordered white squares).
• Standard powers are explained on the Powers and Abilities Card.

Also, page 19
STANDARD AND NAMED POWERS
A standard power is a power with only its name printed next to the circle on the character card (such as “Blades/Claws/Fangs”); an explanation of its effects appears on the Powers and Abilities Card. A named power, like “SEISMIC BLAST (Quake),” is a standard power with a specific descriptive title. It is capitalized next to a circle and is followed in parentheses by the name of the standard power (which is explained on the Powers and Abilities Card). All references to a “standard power” in a game effect refer to a standard or a named power.

The team base ability is not a power, it is an ability

We tackled a similar topic recently. This thread may have some info that could help with clarifications.
