Rock, for one

Answer:

COMIC

Hint:

Think of a genre that blends humor with storytelling, often featuring characters like Archie or the Fantastic Four.

Explanation:

This clue plays on the double meaning of "rock." While "rock" usually refers to the music genre or a stone, here it hints at Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, a famous actor. The phrase "for one" suggests we're looking for a category he fits into—specifically, he stars in action movies but also appeared in Jumanji and Moana, which are comic or comedic roles. So "comic" works as the answer, tying his filmography to the lighter, humorous side of his career.
