Hero Types
Heroes are split up into five different categories or archetypes. These archetypes define the types of powers that a hero will have and hence how a deck will be constructed. The following types of heroes exist:
- Blasters - High-offense heroes adorned with long-range powers. Capable of inflicting great damage, they often lack defense.
- Controllers - Manipulative heroes with the ability to distract or confuse their opponents.
- Defenders - Adept at helping and boosting the powers of others, Defenders can also use their powers to assist themselves.
- Scrappers - Masters of mêlée combat, these heroes are used to getting in close and fighting hand-to-hand.
- Tankers - The toughest of heroes, capable of withstanding incredible damage.

Famous quotes containing the words hero and/or types:
“In a novel a hero can lay ten girls and marry a virgin for a finish. In a movie this is not allowed. The hero, as well as the heroine, has to be a virgin. The villain can lay anybody he wants, have as much fun as he wants cheating and stealing, getting rich and whipping the servants. But you have to shoot him in the end.”
—Herbert Mankiewicz (1897–1953)
“The American man is a very simple and cheap mechanism. The American woman I find a complicated and expensive one. Contrasts of feminine types are possible. I am not absolutely sure that there is more than one American man.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
