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.
Because Black Terror has far too many superpowers for Captain America, he wins this battle definitively. For example, Black Terror can lift 70,000 pounds and has berserker strength and superhuman speed. He also has a genius-level intellect, healing factor, flight, invulnerability, agility, stamina, time travel, chemical absorption, cosmic awareness, darkness manipulation, and stealth. Although he’s also skilled in marksmanship and combat, those particular skills of Caps are superior. Nonetheless, Captain America never would have an opportunity to show his combat prowess.
