Core Archetypes of Superpowers
Common categorizations of superpowers in comic books include the following operational archetypes:
The Brick/Tank: Characters with superhuman strength, durability, and stamina who are the primary physical combatants and can "shrug off punishment". (Examples: Superman, The Hulk, The Thing)
The Energy Projector/Blaster: Heroes who can generate and launch various forms of energy (beams, elements, force) from a distance. (Examples: Cyclops, Human Torch, Black Lightning)
The Speedster/Mover: Defined by superhuman speed, which can include running, flying, or teleportation, enabling rapid movement and travel. (Examples: The Flash, Quicksilver, Nightcrawler)
The Mentalist/Psionic: Characters with powers of the mind, such as telepathy, telekinesis, mind control, or precognition. (Examples: Professor X, Jean Grey, Martian Manhunter)
The Metamorph/Shapeshifter: Abilities centered on altering their own body, including changing shape, size, elasticity, or even physiology. (Examples: Mr. Fantastic, Mystique, Ant-Man)
The Mystic/Magician: Powers derived from supernatural or arcane sources, often involving spellcasting, reality manipulation, or spiritual abilities. (Examples: Doctor Strange, Doctor Fate, Scarlet Witch)
The Gadgeteer/Technopath: Normal humans or enhanced individuals who rely on advanced technology, power armor, or specialized weaponry to simulate superpowers. (Examples: Iron Man, Batman, Blue Beetle)
The Martial Artist/Weapon Master: Experts in hand-to-hand combat or specialized weaponry (swords, bows, etc.) whose skills reach superhuman levels of effectiveness. (Examples: Batman, Green Arrow, Iron Fist)
The Elementalist: A character with the ability to control, generate, or become a specific element or natural force, such as weather, fire, or ice. (Examples: Storm, Iceman, Aquaman)
The Mimic/Adapter: Possessing the power to copy, absorb, or adapt to the powers and abilities of others. (Examples: Rogue, Taskmaster)
### Core Archetypes of Superpowers in Age of Powers
Below are the **Core Archetypes of Superpowers**. Each archetype includes a brief recap of its operational definition and comic book examples for context. Following that will be a **comprehensive table** of **all applicable superpowers** from the full 224-card "Age of Powers - Database."
Applicability is determined by thematic and mechanical fit:
- Powers must align with the archetype's core concept (e.g., physical brawling for Bricks, ranged energy projection for Blasters).
- High Attack (A) values emphasize offensive prowess; high Defense (D) values emphasize survivability or countermeasures fitting the archetype.
- Cost (1-6) reflects play efficiency in Diecast Brawler's Power pool system.
- **Overlaps are intentional and comprehensive**: A single power can fit multiple archetypes if it logically applies (e.g., Super Strength fits Brick/Tank but also Martial Artist for enhanced strikes). Every power from 1-224 is assigned to **at least one** archetype, ensuring full coverage without omission.
- Tables are sorted by Power # for easy reference.
- **Total assignments**: 1,292 (average ~129 per archetype, reflecting broad categorizations in comics).
This organization supports **deck-building strategies** in Age of Powers: Bricks favor high-A/D combos for raw overwhelming; Blasters stack A-multipliers via dice; Speedsters enable early aggression, etc. Use these for themed decks (e.g., Hulk Brick deck with #1, #6, #12).
#### 1. The Brick/Tank
**Definition**: Characters with superhuman strength, durability, and stamina who are the primary physical combatants and can "shrug off punishment".
**Examples**: Superman, The Hulk, The Thing.
**Deck Strategy Insight**: Focus on high Cost (4-6) cards for late-round Power surges; prioritize D to survive dice swings and win ties (Defender advantage). Cumulative A x d6 crushes defenses.

# Age of Powers Synergistic Hybrid Archetype Deck Wheel
## Introduction to the Hybrid Deck Wheel
The **Age of Powers Hybrid Deck Wheel** is a comprehensive strategic framework for building powerful **hybrid decks** by mixing the 10 Core Archetypes of Superpowers. This wheel transforms the individual archetype lists into synergistic combinations, enabling players to craft decks that leverage **thematic comic book authenticity**, **mechanical complementarity in the Head-to-Head rules**, and **deck-building depth** for tournaments or casual play.
### Core Principles of Synergy
- **Thematic Fit**: Each hybrid draws from real comic book characters who embody both archetypes (e.g., Superman as Brick + Blaster).
- **Mechanical Synergy**:
- **Attack Focus**: High-A cards for overwhelming Cumulative Attack × d6 multipliers (ideal for Attacker role).
- **Defense Resilience**: High-D cards to tie or win as Defender (ties favor Defender).
- **Power Curve**: Mix low-Cost (1-3) for early rounds (Power gain 1-3), mid-Cost (3-4) for mid-game, high-Cost (5-6) for late surges (Power 4-6+ rollover).
- **Dice Swing Mitigation**: Regeneration/Healing (Brick/Mystic) or Reroll Tokens variant for volatility.
- **Role Balance**: 50-60% Attacker-optimized (high A/low-mid C), 40-50% Defender-optimized (high D).
- **Deck Sizing**: Minimum 12 cards; recommended 40-50 for variance. Use **identical starting decks** for fair Head-to-Head. In **Deck-Building Mode**, draft from shared pool prioritizing union powers.
- **Playstyle Adaptation**: Hybrids shine in specific variants (e.g., Power Symmetry for resource fights, Simultaneous Commit for burst).
- **Wheel Structure**: Archetypes arranged in a **synergy circle** where **adjacent pairs** (Primary Hybrids) offer the strongest, most intuitive mixes. **Skip-one pairs** (Secondary Hybrids) provide advanced options like the example Brick + Blaster (Superman). All 224 powers are covered via archetype assignments; hybrids use **union of lists** (overlaps boost efficiency).

# Age of Powers Secondary Hybrid Archetype Deck Details
## Introduction to Secondary Hybrid Decks
The **Secondary Hybrids** represent **skip-one** combinations on the archetype wheel, offering advanced, thematic synergies beyond adjacent primaries. These mixes capture iconic comic crossovers (e.g., Superman's Brick + Blaster punches and heat vision) while balancing **mechanical depth** in Age of Power's dice-driven brawls. Each secondary hybrid follows the **same detailed format** as primaries:
- **Example Characters**: Comic inspirations.
- **Synergy Theme & Mechanics**: Thematic/mechanical breakdown, including estimated **union averages** (A/D/C from key powers; full union ~20-40 cards).
- **Key Powers Table**: Top 12-15 powers from **union of archetype lists** (unique #s, prioritized by synergy: high A for bursts, high D for resilience, cost diversity 2-6, overlaps bolded).
- **Sample 40-Card Deck**: Exact power #s (core union ~20, thematic fillers ~20 from related archetypes; **avg A/D/C computed** from listed cards; duplicates allowed for multiples).
- **Playstyle Guide**: Attacker/Defender tactics, best variants, counters.
