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.
"Armageddon possesses vast superhuman strength and durability. He also has the deadly Troyjan ability to channel and release vast amounts of cosmic energy through his body. In his few appearances, he has withstood a powerful blow from the Worldbreaker Hulk and a point blank blast that redirected Hulk's energy, and managed to overpower the Silver Surfer withstanding a blast fueled by the Surfer's massive power right after overloading the Surfer with his own Power Cosmic."
