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.
Burning Ben 10 to crisp
Jumping on him/sitting on him and suffocate him
Cause a giant Earthquake and defeat Ben 10
Mega Punches/Kicks Ben (Snorlax's large size will sharply increase the damage and Snorlax's speed will increase the impact power.
Creates large, sharp icicles and impales Ben
Uses Belly Drum and then slams the ground, sending Ben 10 upwards "To Infinity and beyond!" (Snorlax has done this before)
Makes Ben 10 fall asleep
