While bored one night, I went on the wiki and checked out the sheer number of combinations possible in the game at present. Here's the hard numbers.
Currently, pre i16, there are 583 possible primary/secondary combinations per archetype(considering Wolf
Spiders/Crabs/Banes and Widows/Fortunatas/Night Widows as separate combinations)
How do the ATs stack up?
Blueside:
Blasters: 8 primaries, 6 secondaries = 48 total combinations
Controllers: 7 primaries, 8 secondaries = 56 total combinations
Defenders: 9 primaries, 8 secondaries = 72 total combinations (Highest total blueside)
Scrappers: 8 primaries, 7 secondaries = 56 total combinations
Tankers: 7 primaries, 9 secondaries = 63 total combinations
Epic Blueside:
Peacebringer
Warshade
Redside:
Brutes: 9 primaries, 9 secondaries = 81 total combinations (Highest total redside and in the entire game)
Corruptors: 8 primaries, 9 secondaries = 72 total combinations
Dominators: 6 primaries, 6 secondaries = 36 total combinations
Masterminds: 5 primaries, 7 secondaries = 35 total combinations
Stalkers: 8 primaries, 7 secondaries = 56 total combinations
Epic Redside:
Wolf Spider/Bane Spider/Crab Spider = 3 total career tracks
Widow/Night Widow/Fortunata = 3 total career tracks
Now, for fun, let's consider the power prolifs coming in Issue 16 and Going Rogue:

Going Rogue:
Blaster: Dual Pistols primary
Mastermind: Demon Summoning primary
This brings Blasters up to 10/6 (60 total), Controllers 7/9 (63), Defenders 10/9 (90), Scrappers 9/8 (72), Tankers 8/10 (80), Brutes 10/9 (90), Corruptors 9/10
(90), Dominators 6/7 (42), Masterminds 6/8 (48), and Stalkers 9/7(63).
This brings our total combinations, come Going Rogue, to 706 total
combinations.
That's 700+ possible combinations before epic pools are even considered.
Holy fucking shit.
