I'll also add that I believe some archetypal comic book characters can't actually be confined to a single Co* archetype. 

 

Clearly marquee comic characters are GMs.

Costume Contest in Atlas Park, iirc.  Took that screen grab a while ago, lol.

 

GM's toons have publicly available info just like the rest of us, apparently. 🤣

 

I still think they need more Shinobi.

I want the option to have a literal fuck ton of powers.

I mean, GM applications are usually open, lol.

 

I do appreciate that "Arcanum" does seem to be using Animus Arcana (Gate, Dispel) powers though. 😄

Sheesh.  How's the power tray arranged on THAT?

Wolverine is a Claws/Will Scrapper with the Stealth Pool.

 

I would classify Logan as a Claws/REGEN Scrapper.  It's literally his superpower.

you could make the argument that Condorman is a level 5 Tank.

 

Whatever he is, he's clearly the tech origin.

 

I'm a fan of the old heroes, and identifying and tying them to game structure is a bit challenging.  Green Hornet and Kato are easy: both are scrappers.  Hornet is probably a street fighter/willpower and Kato a martial arts/willpower.  Doc Savage is trickier though.  Commanding his squad of five "brothers" and being a world-class genius and polymath, he fits the thugs mastermind profile, but he's also a solid fighter on his own,  So possibly a thugs mastermind with a street fighter/willpower scrapper nature?

 

Then there's the Shadow.  Definitely got the thugs mastermind thing going on, with a legion of allies blended into the city just waiting for the sign of the girasol ring to go into action.  But he's got those wicked oversized twin .45's which should classify him as a gun fu blaster.  But then he's known for blending into the shadows, which might just be stalker, or it might be a dark stalker, depending on who is telling the story.

 

The Phantom is somewhere between a gun blaster and a melee scrapper.  Perhaps a gun blaster with an energy secondary for the melee.

I would say The Phantom is a Scrapper with the Pistols Power Pool and the Stealth Power Pool.

 

I don't think he's a Mastermind at all, I think he just has a good Super Group. Same with Doc Savage.
