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.
Plus, 5 Superheroes/Villain that he created were like the Green Lantern, The Flash, Spiderman's Shocker with flight(Tom Turbine), and an Ice Foe. These were characters that he knew about and they would beat him by the divide and conquer and freeze and shatter approach! But, wiith prep, he's beaten as if he was a toy, because then he'd know of more powers to use. But, with prep, he could create an amalgam of Doomsday, Sinestro, and Gorilla Grodd, for example!
