The individuals I knew were somewhat literal interpretations, for the most part - though I didn't know all of them well enough to understand how, I'd imagine they're all more or less on the same level when it comes to how appropriate their designation was.
However, while they could definitely fight and far outmatched any human being they went up against, they were using a form of alchemy and the way they did so generally had nothing to do with anything specific - it was just what they chose to do. What they specialized in was more a matter of choice than anything dictated by who they were, directly.
