The Superhero Database Classification number, or SHDB Class, is a number that represents the overall 'power' of a character. All traits of a character are used for calculating the Classification.
What it DOESN'T mean
This doesn't mean that a higher class would always beat a lower class character. But the bigger the difference in Class is, the more obvious it is who'll win in a fight.
How is this calculated
( INT^1.3 + (STR*0.5 )^2 + (SPE*0.5)^2 + DUR^1.6 + (POW + (SPS*SPL))^2 + COM^1.8 ) ^ TIER
Super Power Score and Level
Every Super Power has a score (SPS) that is used to calculate the Class. Each Super Power also has 3 levels (SPL). The level is set when connecting that Super Power to a character. The level determines the final score, of the Super Power, being used in the calculation.
Passage: "The noise level was unbearable, as if the very fabric of space and time was tearing."
"The noise level was unbearable, as if the very fabric of space and time was tearing,"
is an exaggeration used to describe the intensity and chaos of the scene. It does not literally mean that Klaus is ripping apart space-time. Instead, it serves to convey the overwhelming and catastrophic nature of the events taking place. This is a common type of hyperbolic language that is often used in fiction to emphasize the extreme and dramatic conditions the characters are experiencing.
