Mutant and Natural tend to be my choices because they're easy to conceptualize.

Magic comes in next because it's...well, Magic.

Tech and Science are sort of in a mish-mash because really, the two are roughly equivocal to each other. I have to remember that Tech refers primarily to gadgets, whereas science refers to the processes or accidents.

Now I -have- created outliers:

I have an MA/Elec Scrapper who is "Natural". How? Because he's the natural-born son of two heroes. They're both mutants, but his powers weren't modified into him or granted due to some surprise alteration. He was born with them, and simply developed them on his own.

By the same token, I have a KM/WP Scrapper whose a Mutant, because his whole family has this "mutation" that grants them their powers that keeps occuring in each member of the family. Since it has to manifest itself, I qualify it as a "mutation", even if it always occurs.
