Power Classifications

File:Placeholder

Since parahumans began to appear in the 80's the need of a power classification to be used by the Law, the Government and the Media have been clear.

Initially used only for classifying Supervillans, this classification is used now for all parahumans: Heroes, Villains and Rogues alike.

When a new parahuman reveals his presence he (or she) is identifed with one or more of 12 categories and a number (usually betwen 1 and 10) to express their apparent proficiency in that area.

The categories are:Mover, Shaker, Brute, Breaker,Master, Tinker,Blaster, Thinker, Striker, Changer, Trump and Stranger.

Mover

Characters: Oni Lee, Purity (Blaster 8, Mover 4), Shadow Stalker (Breaker 3,Stranger 2 and Mover 1), Chariot (Mover ?, Tinker ?), Skidmark (Tinker 2, Mover 3), Strider

Shaker

Characters: Labyrinth (Shaker 12), Vista (Shaker 9)

Breaker

Generally those who had some ability to ‘break’ the natural laws of the universe as far as those laws applied to them.

The striker classification could include certain Breaker effects as they were applied to things other than the cape themselves, but not always.
