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.
And you ARE trying to cover your ass, by discreditting one of the most agile, most acrobatic and most experienced heroes in Marvel. Lex has NEVER BEATEN the Man of steel one on one, and you KNOW That. I've read and studied superheroes for TEN years, Man. I know these guys. But then again, you WOULD go for the egotistic madman, cause you know so MUCH about em. Spidermans stats are WRONG. He should have AT LEAST 75 strength, and 80 speed. And since your talking stats, Spidey wins, 6 to 2. Suck it
