When I was big into Champions, I was made aware of the following superhero archetypes:
1. Brick: This is the one who has high armor, high strength, and high damage output. In games with a point-based character generation system, this leaves little room for anything else. Example: The Hulk
2. Energy Projector: This is the character who usually has a high-powered attack that can hit single targets at range. Example: Cyclops
3. Mentalist: This is the character who uses magic or psionics to alter the enemy's abilities. Example: Doctor Strange
4. Speedster: This is the character that can move quickly and get into places that would otherwise be unreachable. They also are known for initiative, being able to hit first and change the outcome with a quick strike. Example: The Flash
5. Gadgeteer: This uis the character who has (or can generate) the right tool for the job at all times. Example: Batman
