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.
in manga and in the anime.. TANKTOP MASTER JUST throws an entire several-story building with 6 floors at a height above the clouds
We can estimate the force required for Tanktop Master to throw a building!
1. Estimate the Building's Weight:
- Let's assume the building is a simple rectangular structure with 6 floors.
- We can pick an average height for each floor, say 3 meters (a common floor height).
- If the building is wide and long, let's estimate a width of 15 meters and a length of 20 meters. These are generous assumptions for a residential building.
With these values, we can calculate the building's volume:
```
Building volume = height x width x length
= 6 floors * 3 meters/floor * 15 meters * 20 meters
= 5400 cubic meters
2. Now, we need the density of the building material. Concrete is a common building material, with a density of around 2400 kg/cubic meter.
Building mass = volume x density
= 5400 cubic meters * 2400 kg/cubic meter
= 12,960,000 kg
**This is roughly 13,000 tons.**
(tanktop master demonstrated immense strength not only by throwing this building but also several structures throughout the anime at incredible speeds and extreme heights and distances... but let's just calculate this feat)
Tanktop Master’s feat demonstrates immense strength, likely in the tens of thousands or more.
Considering the corrected height, let’s calculate the potential energy:
(in a typical city environment, clouds often begin forming around 2,000 meters (approximately 6,500 feet) above the surface.)
Height above the clouds: 2000 meters.
Potential energy (PE) due to lifting the building: PE=mgh
PE = (12,960,000 kg) X (9,8 m/s²) X (2000 m) = 254 G
Converting Energy to Tons of Strength:
1 ton of TNT (explosive energy) ≈ 4.18 GJ.
So the Energy required to lift the building: 4.18GJ/ton254GJ≈60.67tons of strength!!!
Based on the corrected height, the potential energy of the throw above the clouds would be approximately 60.67 tons of strength! (but he trowed the building in a second... so lets calculate WITH the speed)
Assuming that a standard anime frame rate is of a 24 fps, then 1 frame would be 1/24 seconds (approximately 0.04 seconds). This would result in an incredibly fast throwing speed, likely exceeding the speed of sound (around 343 meters per second). Such speeds are highly unrealistic for throwing a massive object but LETS GO!
- Frame rate (fps) = 24 frames/second
- Time per frame = 1 / fps = 1 / 24 seconds ≈ 0.042 seconds (assuming a 24 fps frame rate)
- Building mass (from previous calculation) = 12,960,000 kg
Here's the issue:
Throwing a 13,000-ton building in 0.042 seconds (one frame) would result in an incredibly high speed. Using the formula:
Speed = distance / time
Even with a short throwing distance (let's say 10 meters), the speed would be:
Speed = 10 meters / 0.042 seconds ≈ 238.1 m/s (meters per second)
This speed is supersonic, exceeding the speed of sound (around 343 m/s).
