Power Team is known for its chaotic, energetic live shows that contributed to the band's success. During performances, most of the band's members headbang, stage dive, and fight.The band's early performances included extreme acts such as stage dives from high balconies and band members setting each other on fire. Clown was known to go into the crowd and tie people up with the microphone cord. In recent years, they tended to refrain from acts this extreme. Former bassist Paul Grame said this was due to receiving lawsuits and to avoid harming other people, and that it was a "better move" for the longevity of the band. Along with the energetic and unpredictable performances, power team often use elaborate stage setups that use pyrotechnics, elevated stage areas, hydraulic drum risers, and computer screens.
The band is known for its attention-grabbing image; the members perform wearing unique, individual facemasks and matching uniforms—typically jumpsuits—while each member is typically assigned and referred to by number based on their role in the band (#0 through #10 )
The band has said the idea of wearing masks stemmed from a clown mask that Jack took to rehearsals when the band first started. jack later became known for his clown masks, adopting the pseudonym "jack the Clown". The concept developed; by late 2015, the band decided every band member would wear a unique mask and matching jumpsuit. Krash said in 2016, "it's our way of becoming more intimate with the music. It's a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music. It's a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it." The concept of wearing matching jumpsuits has been described as a response to commercialism in the music industry and led to the idea of assigning the band members numerical aliases. According to Krash, "Originally, we were just going to wear the jumpsuits ... we figured we might as well take that further and number ourselves ... We were basically saying, 'Hey, we're a product!'"
An essential element for the band’s image is the Power Team logo. The Nonagram was created by the band’s members around the same time the band was founded. The Nonagram is arguably the best-known sigil of Power team and it represents a 9 point star – a symbol of unity, loyalty, friendship and remembrance. The logo is composed of three equilateral triangles each rotated at 0, 40, and 80 degrees. Each star point was meant to stand for each of the nine members of the original band. Despite popular belief, the Nonagram is not a Satanist symbol, nor does it reflect something perverted, evil, unclean or sadistic. On the contrary, just as the band has officially declared on various occasions, the Nonagram marks the unbreakable bond between its members.
