I don't think I would put Namor in that grouping. He has a different power set entirely. Superman, Majestic, Hyperion, Gladiator, etc, are all super strong, durable, can fly, are super fast, have heat vision, etc. I've always called them "Superman Clones", although that's not the catchiest name I suppose. Namor on the other hand has no super speed, no heat vision, and can breath underwater (although some of the Superman Clones can too, I suppose). Also his power is tied to being wet.
would you include captain marvel and black adam in this group even though they don't have heat vision?
And Scoobs I can see flying brick being a good one

Basic categories:
Brick
flying brick
speedster
elemental
Shape shifter
tech based
energy manipulator
psi
Teleporter
Magical
Then every category has low, mid, high.
Obviously some characters won't fit into a single category (martian manhunter for example) and could carry multiple tags, flying brick, shape shifter, psi... and some people will need a whole new category (Jack hawksmoor for example)

Should be one for Martial Artists for people without notable levels of super powers who fight through martial arts and melee weapons.

Think this list is just for power types, so I guess they would go under "non powered character"

We need to start with the broadest ranges of power types and then classify under them.
In my opinion, these three would be the broadest:
Powers (meaning they mutated or were born with the power)
Tech & Training
Magical
Those three categories cover pretty much any variation of the power-sets characters possess. From there you can classify types. And people might cross over (Batman being a Martial Artists and a Gadget user for example). Just as an example - and these rankings are just randomly thrown in. Not to be taken as accurate power levels.
Powers
Elemental Control :
Low: Light Lass
Mid: Storm, Red Tornado, Black Lightning
High: Magneto, Iceman, Captain Atom
Tech & Training
Power Suit
Low: Vulture
Mid: Iron Man, Steel, Lex
High: Nova Prime
Martial Artists
Low: Black Widow, Catwoman
Mid: Robin, Wild Cat, Moon Knight
High: Batman, Lady Shiva, Taskmaster
Magical
Spell Casting
Low: ??
Mid: ??
High: Dr. Strange, Dr. Fate

Red Tornado is well above Storm and Black Lightning.
For magical, Water Hand Aquaman would be mid range, probably.

I see where you are coming from.
Just to ask though where would you place Captain Marvel and Superman?
They possess very similar powersets and abilities.
Would you make one Natural Flying Brick under powers and the other Magical Flying Brick under magical or what would you do?

Personally I would call Reed Richards and Plastic Man 'Stretchers'
People like Giant-Man, The Atom, Ant-Man 'Growers/Shrinkers'
Someone like Mystique, Morph I would call a 'Shape-Shifter'. I could see Beat-Boy one as well.
Scoobs would you place people like Namor and Captain Britain in the Flying Brick category?
Also I've added Speedster, and Elemental to the Power types on the front page since no seemed to disagree with them. I'm not tossing B-Dub's idea out either I'm just adding stuff until I see where it goes fully and then I can change the front page to match if everyone likes it.

I use shape shifter as a general term for anyone who can manipulate the shape or size of their body. Sub categories can develop from case to case.
If you get too specific about power types then you're going to need a hundred different categories.
Yes, I'd call those guys flying bricks, like manhunter britain could have more than one category tag.

Bricks
Strength and durability, powers are secondary to physical combat
Think Grundy and Juggs
flying bricks
Strength , Durability, Flight, secondary Powers
Think BA and Namor
Elites
Versatile as ****
Think Surfer, Thor, GL
Telepaths
Main offence is Tp/TK
Think Cable and Martian Manhunter
Prep guys/Gawds (Tech Guys)
With prep they can move full tiers in power
Think Doom and Richards
Sorcery types
Magic is there main form of Offence/Defence
Think Strange and Fate
Martial artist
Much like bricks but usually less tanky
Think iron fist and Champion
