For my part, I think they DO fit an AT in comics: shapeshifters. Not as well as we'd like, certainly, but... it's partly there.

I don't think they fit the image of shapeshifters - Mystique, Chameleon Boy, etc. Closer to Wolfsbane or Catseye, but those two had nothing but their narrow selection of forms.

They certainly are shapeshifters, just not in the classical superhero sense.

Look at it this way... Yes, you only have 1 primary and secondary to chose from, but you have more powers than you can shake a squid at! It's an AT because you can combine them into any way you want! If you don't like it, though... make a Scrapper or another blaster or something!
