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.
Animation :
when Hope Summers was augmented by the Phoenix Force during her confrontation with Bastion, she was indeed operating at a level beyond that of an Omega-level mutant. The Phoenix Force is one of the most powerful entities in the Marvel Universe, capable of creation and destruction on a cosmic scale. When a mutant like Hope, who already has the potential to mimic and amplify other mutants’ powers, is combined with the Phoenix Force, her abilities are significantly enhanced.
Omega-level mutants are defined by their ability to control an unlimited power source, which means there is no upper limit to the potential output of their abilities. Hope’s connection with the Phoenix Force, therefore, not only amplified her inherent powers but also granted her additional cosmic abilities, making her one of the most powerful beings in existence at that time. This is why she was able to defeat Bastion, who was a significant threat to all of mutantkind.
The reason Bastion was defeated only by Phoenix (Hope Summers) is rooted in the narrative significance of Hope’s character. She represented the hope and future of mutantkind, and her connection to the Phoenix Force made her one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel Universe at a level beyond that of an Omega-level mutant.
