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.
Let's start with SCP-001 The Database: He Is the supreme being of the SCP Mythos, can shape the verse in any way it may want and could likely and easily write up an SCP with High Hyperversal features if it so wished to. All of the verse is nonsensical fiction to it, which includes the heavily implied Hilbert Space, all dimensions, all concepts. Everything that contains is narrative is below SCP-001, with Andrew Swan being a representation of every author that has ever wrote for the site. This would mean that it transcends the infinitely expanding hierachy of narratives, with each one containing as many as countless dimensions and an infinite hierachy in one narrative is simply part of a higher narrative, creating an infinite-dimensional space within a huge realm that sees this as fiction. This means one narrative is a beyond dimensional construct and one narrative is simply one part of the infinite hierachy.
Azathoth:he main and highest of the Other Gods, the center of the universe and the source of all things that are his dream. Being, oblivion, chaos, any levels of binarity and what forms them exist only while Azathoth sleeps and dreams, where there is a place for everything: the immense infinity of imaginable and inconceivable possibilities and impossibilities of worlds-stories (Azathoth's dreams) with any hypothetical world order (all kinds of laws of physics and fractal chains of worlds are included in each other, as well as completely absurd concepts, such as universes in a reactor or particles of dust containing infinities), external emptiness (extra-worldly non-existence, the last facet of Creation, where "stories" of any levels are born and end and degrees), all beings and concepts, even those that are beyond comprehension. surpasses everything below, whether it is an entity that includes creatures, from the perspective of which the difference between creatures located within the dimensional and various orders of superdimensional existential hierarchies is phantom and speculative, or that which gave rise to this entity ; in a sense, it is the source of the entire universe and is able to influence it; in essence there is Absolute Chaos, which is possibly a kind of background for everything else.
SCP-001 is more transcendent
