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.
Dimitrescu: "Well well, what have we here? Another mutant creature wandering these ruins."
Nemesis silently stalks forward, focusing his gaze on Dimitrescu.
Dimitrescu: "I am Lady Dimitrescu! I suggest you scurry along before..."
Nemesis interrupts her by firing his rocket launcher at her feet. Dimitrescu leaps back to dodge the blast.
Dimitrescu: "Insolent creature! You dare attack me? I will make you suffer!"
Dimitrescu lunges at Nemesis with her claws but he catches her arm and throws her against a wall. Before she can regain her footing, Nemesis fires another rocket into her stomach, blasting a hole right through her.
Dimitrescu: coughs up blood "Impossible... I am... Lady Dimitrescu..."
Nemesis approaches her, focusing his eyepiece on her face. He raises his foot and stomps down on her head, crushing it.
Nemesis then resumes his relentless pursuit of Jill Valentine, leaving Lady Dimitrescu's body in the street. Though both are powerful bio-weapons, Nemesis' superior speed, regenerative abilities, and single-minded focus on his mission leave Lady Dimitrescu no chance in a potential fight. His ruthlessness and lack of regard for anything but completing his objective prove too much for even one as powerful as the Lady herself.
the winner is nemesis
