I do love the archetype idea muchly. Classes don't really sit well with me as I feel like I'm being shoehorned into playing a particular stereotype, and that a certain amount of creative control over my character has been taken away from me. Hybrid classing is a work around to this problem in 4e, but it's too complicated for newcomers, and you're penalized, mechanically, for playing a hybrid class. Combining archetypes seems a much more intuitive approach to creating a character.
And yes, Stalwart is a way better name. For one thing, adventures will be less likely to be derailed by bad X-men jokes.
