The '''Controller''' is at the same time the weakest and yet the most powerful of the archetypes. The Controller has few offensive attacks and possesses few hit points.

Armed with such abilities, the Controller is the backbone for any super group, but the Controller depends upon their teammates for protection.

The Controller specializes in manipulating the actions of foes, causing them to stand immobile in battle, or controlling their movements, or even turning them against their allies.  This is perhaps the most challenging archetype to play, but potentially one of the most powerful.  Controllers have very little defense against enemies not under their direct control.

A Controller who wishes to adventure solo must do so with extreme caution. The archetype really contributes as part of a group.

Overview

The Controller is at the same time the weakest and yet the most powerful of the archetypes. The Controller has few offensive attacks and possesses few hit points. But the Controller has access to a range of powers and abilities that no one else does. Armed with these powers, a Controller can affect the behavior of villains, from freezing them in place, to putting them to sleep, to routing them away. Armed with such abilities, the Controller is the backbone for any super group, but the Controller depends upon their teammates for protection.

The Controller's power sets are:

Primary: Control
Secondary: Buff
