I was trying to be broad, IMO its better to have a easily manageable number of categories, with broad ranges, then devide into subcategories for more specific powers.
Maybe you can call charachters like Superman, Gladiator, Sentry, Silver Surfer, Manhunter & Captain Marvel somethinng like "versatiles" because they seemingly possess powers from all categories (super strength, super speed, flight, energy projection, etc)
Then you can keep characters like Namor, Wonder woman & Capt Britain listed as "flying bricks"

Perhaps but I feel like while Namor and CB don't have superspeed on par or remotely close to those other guys, compared to a human they do have super speed thanks to their flight.
And beings like Namor also have energy projection, in that he has been shown to generate electricity.
For instance Blink, Nightcrawler are all teleporters and that is their only powerset so they are under the Teleporter category.
Here is my description for Flying Bricks
Flying Brick - Someone that possesses flight, super-strength, and increased durability. They also possess super-speed and can also have some form of energy based attack
And when i think of "Flying Bricks" i definitely see most of characters listed being on that list. Mainly the cats with capes and flight and strength...ultimately the "all arounder".
I think a more appropriate name for "flying bricks" is 'paragons".
Flight + strength + invulnerability + some degree of super speed + (sometimes) a long range blast = Paragon
I guess I feel like rather than creating broad classes that can be broken up into high/medium/low, you should break it up into meta, herald and street and come up with classes within those.
Herald could be something like magic/tech/cosmic/innate, stuff that amounts to broad categories or something.
Meta could be more specific, with bricks/energy manipulators/psychics... etc.
How would Caiera be classified? Her old power is pretty much artificial power cosmic and I'm pretty sure you know it's application. She's strong, durable and fast enough to fight the hulk as well.
Always been curious on how to define her, also whatever she's classified as should be applied to her sons I'd imagine.
