I can only see MMORP and nothing else, so if you post a link, it is of no value to me but would be to others....
So, can anyone describe an incarnate in relation to a brute or corruptor?

Well, the lore as referenced from paragonwiki.com states:
Incarnate is a special origin originally not available to players. Incarnates are humans who have drunk from the the Well of the Furies in some way, empowering them with the powers of the gods themselves. As such, they are substantially more powerful than most other superbeings.
Initially, there was only thought to be two Incarnates; Statesman, and Lord Recluse. As time progressed, more and more people have been seen with Incarnate powers:
Statesman (Marcus Cole) gained the Incarnate powers of Zeus from the Fountain of Zeus.[1]
Lord Recluse (Stefan Richter) gained the Incarnate powers of Tartarus from the Fountain of Zeus.[2]
According to the Lore of S'silur, an unknown pregnant woman is said to have gained the powers of the Gorgon Stheno, sister of Medusa, and her progeny are the Snakes.[3]
Trapdoor received great Teleportation powers from the Well, although no detail about his origin exists.[4] It is possible he was given his powers from impure samples of the Fountain Lord Recluse kept. [5]
Tyrant, in his own dimension, drank from the Well of the Furies to gain god-like powers.[6]
Reichsman, in his own dimension, drank from the Well of the Furies to gain god-like powers.[7]
Imperious is said to be an Incarnate, by Ashley McKnight and Montague Castanella when they send you to meet him in Cimerora. Incarnate is said to be an Origin that has been completely absent for quite some time. [8] [9]
Ms. Liberty (and by extension, Miss Liberty and Maiden Justice) possesses/possessed the Girdle of Hera, which was said to have powers derived from the Well of the Furies.[10] Both Ms. Liberty and Miss Liberty also possess some measure of superpowers genetically inherited[11][12] from the patriarch of the family, Statesman, who himself derived his powers from the Well of the Furies. [13]
Hero 1, or the Honoree, was revealed to have become an Incarnate after accepting Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake, proving that drinking from the Fountain of Zeus isn't the only way to become an Incarnate.
Hero 1's patron, the Lady of the Lake, is also an Incarnate, according to the Well of the Furies itself.
In game terms, players are beginning the transition from mere brutes or blasters into incarnates themselves in their pursuit of the well. Incarnate slots give access to new types of enhancements and powers, in some cases level shifting (think a different type of specialization tree, or actually 10 separate ones that can all be slotted).
So you get more enhancement slots and are no longer limited to the cap?
And you get some extra minor powers to shore up your weaknesses?
Not enhancement slots, but Incarnate slots ( 4 of the 10 have been revealed). The slotting of Incarnate slots can bestow global enhancements to all powers, some of which bypass Enhancement Diversification and can shift your level as well (not quite the same as changing the cap limit). Other Incarnate slots provide significant powers, not really minor ones.
A level increase would be nice....make purple mobs red. That is a big advantage.
Read http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Incarnate_System which explains the new system (Paragon Wiki onnly describes live features, so the details of slots beyond Alpha are not there. Yet). In short, however...
Alpha: Functions as a universal Enhancement that affects all applicable powers. Portions of its boosts bypass Enhancement Diminishing Returns.
Judgment: Will grant characters new upgradeable multi-target attack powers, which can take the form of a Fire Targeted AoE, Cold Cone, Energy Chain, or a Negative Energy PBAoE. Judgment is not affected by buffs or set bonuses but is affected by Alpha and Interface Slot modifiers, except for the Spiritual Boost Recharge Reduction. Recharges in 90-120 seconds.
Interface: Will provide the player with a Permanent Proc effect, that will affect enemies with each hostile attack. Base percentages of Procs firing is variable depending on choice chosen, with some allowing two procs going off at the same time. Pet powers including the Lore pet will also trigger Interface procs.
Lore: Will be a Very Long Recharge power that allows the user to summon a Praetorian Clockwork, Warwork, Seer, or IDF Trooper pet.
Destiny: Will be a Very Long Recharge power that allows the user to buff a large amount of team mates for 120 Seconds. Tier 4 powers allow for increasing of Resistances to 90% etc.
