StickyWhen to report a comment?
I've seen some reported comments that should not have been reported. So, when should you report a comment?
It's very simple; if the comment goes against the Guidelines.
Don't report a comment if you just dissagree, that's what the voting option is for.
Once you are logged in, you will see the Superhero Database logo. Below you see your profile (photo) and in that row you see different pages. For example: messages, battles, faves, OCs. Then after you have seen 'Ocs' you will also see 'Abbs'. You click on it and then you see 3 icons: my OCs, my edits, request. You click on my ocs and then you can edit your ocs as desired.
Hello, I am new to the Super Hero Database and hoping someone can help me under the system in use here. There are a number of things that do not seem to add up. So, I am wondering if there is a reference page and glossary of some sort that I can refer to. Perhaps, one that would explain how Power Stats are determined, what each includes and what the number ranges translate to?
Something else that is giving me a hard time: What qualifies as a separate power? Some characters, particularly very popular characters such as the Hulk, have an umbrella power listed (IE - "Invulnerability" or "Durability") as well as having separate powers listed for every individual aspect of those powers. This wouldn't be a major issue if the same allowance were made for all characters. But it is not. Many others characters with Macro/umbrella powers are not listed this way. Ultimately, this gives some characters an unfair/inaccurate boost.
Additionally, some of the stats seem to be weighted really akwardly. Specificially, strength and durability seem to be weighted WAY to highly. This the combines with the issue outlined above to result in the character classes being thrown way off.
Lastly, character popularity seems to have some effect on the ratings but I cannot determine what as it does not appear to be accounted for anywhere in the character's profile. Can someone explain that to me as well? (I figure this would be the only thing to account for the wildly inaccurate classes and rankings found across the site.)
PS- Some specific weirdness that I hope explains my confusion: Scarlet Witch is a 62, Franklin Richards (child) is a 54. Adult Franklin Richards (Outright stated by Marvel in a comic book to be the most powerful mutant ever born, and whom it was also stated in panel would survive the end of the universe and be born into the next one) is a 23. This makes zero sense.
Also, characters with healing factors or enhanced durability apear to be double-dipping in the stats. Deadpool has 100 for both Power and Durability. This makes no sense to me. And it repeats over many other characters.
Ultimately, if the above where conscious decisions then that is okay; it just means this is not the correct community for me.
You can make 3 OCs. You click on your profile and then you go to Abbs. Then click on 'my occs'. As soon as you get there, it says above in 'create new character' with a plus as an icon.
I would like to know if Someone can add a category vehicle with stats like speed,power,crew,resistance,Stamina.If possible it will be cool.answer please🙏
I had already approved your previous Star Destroyer. (See previous reply)
Your new entry was better, so I approved that one as well and deleted the previous one.
If a previously requested item is not in the request-list anymore, it's either approved or removed. Before requesting a new item, please do a search to see if the item has been approved.
When an item gets enough upvotes, it will be added to the website.
I hasked for the star destroyer and no one approve it so it's juste to know if it would be possible to create again that we ça put a lot mora characters object because there is for exemple so many star wars ship i would like to put thank you in advance for the answer
You can only change profile images of items (characters) you can edit.
To change your own profile image (avatar) go to your profile page. On the first tab (User) you find an edit button right under the word 'About'. You'll find the option to change your image there.
How to do edit ustats on characters like it used to be I could put my opinion of the ustats now I can't I want to put my opinion ustats on Rick Grimes but it won't let me
Can you somehow request that a character gets "updated"? Because I came across some characters where half of their abilities are missing amd thus they are way weaker ranked than they should be....
At the same place where you've added your OC. (User Menu > Abbs > Edit) Then click on the character you want to edit. In the blue menu you'll find all the different sections you can edit, like; powers, history, etc.
Do you have a link?
I did remove a bunch of OCs. It might show 'Team with no name' while I'm deleting characters. The whole battle should be deleted too if this was the case.
How are editors selected? Do they have to meet certain criteria for example voting in a set number of battles or is it looked at on an individual basis?
I know Galactus gives the roles, I was asking what you need to do to become an editor. I messaged @Galactus a week ago asking if I could edit the Heroes of Olympus and Harry Potter characters because many of them are incomplete and inaccurate but he did not reply.
Do you think you can simplify the battle creation a little bit? It's kind of a pain to just create a new battle with the same character. I love adding attributes, but I feel like it would be easier if you got to choose a different character by just clicking on the menu with their pictures below. You know what I'm talking about, right?
I'd also love to see something like a Battle Royale feature, where three or more characters come together to face each other.
I'll make this a one-time exception. Checking if your OC is copyrighted is your own responsibility. A simple Google-search will help. I simply can't check every single OC that's being created.
Doctor Zues already exists. It's a Marvel character. And please don't use SHDb users as OCs. (I'll add that to the Terms and Conditions)
I can make a Harry Potter, famous waxing-specialist from Texas, but the name is still copyrighted.
The name Zeus, like Thor, isn't copyrighted. But adding 'Doctor' to the name is a different story.
As I said before; I'm didn't study copyright law, so I might be wrong. Just use a simple rule; if your OC's name turns up in google in combination with a publisher, it's probably copyrighted.
There was a bug on the OC page, that's fixed now. The only place where you can create teams is at the Battle creation page. If that doesn't work for you, please let me know what goes wrong.
You can now update your profile again, including your avatar.
If you're logged in right now, please re-login before updating your image. You only have to do this once.
@Galactus Can you update the Omni power characters. Since you added Nigh omni powers, they now should have that. Only TOAA, Presence etc. should have omni powers.
Flash(CW) is a variation of Flash. Batman (LEGO) is a variation Batman. Etc. Don't do it the other way around, though. Always go to the variation version. This will end up as sort of a filter. If you're searching for Batman, you'll find one. And in a second selection you'll see all variations.

@Windshadow while I was making the current tournament, I accidentally bumped the report comment button, but then I made sure to unreport, so if that helps at all...
I thought I fixed it last night, but I didn't. Something went wrong with the backup, but I fixed it just now. It is possible that newly created battles from the last few hours are gone. Still have no clue of why and how this whole thing happened. Hope it will never happen again.
I've gone to edit profile and saved my new pic (I know it's exciting), but for some reason, it's not showing up on anything except my edit profile page
As I have progressed the mod system in the server even further, it would be much easier if I had the permission to create/change roles. In 5 days I am planning to have the whole thing finished. If for some reason you can't that's fine. Cheers
This may be an odd request, but is there any way to get access to a list of heroes and related attributes from the website? I'm a Tableau and Alteryx user looking to improve my skills and build an interesting dashboard using Super Hero data... and mostly because it sounds fun. I came across a data set on Kaggle, but the hero data is limited and doesn't offer a lot of flexibility in dashboard creation. It would require me to download images for all 755 heroes in the .csv file and then add any additional data manually. While I love the idea of being able to create an interactive dashboard, I simply don't have time to pull all that together. However, I came across your site and it has great data! I was curious to know if there's anyway to get an extract of the Super Hero data so that I could build the visualization. Hopefully this isn't a crazy, out of line request...
Sounds feasible but you will have to speak about that with @Galactus the site founder. He has skills in programming and, if he has time, could help you to find some routines to copy some data to csv. Check the adresses on characters, powers, or pics before asking him. Characters are 10, powers are 60 etc.... I think he will help only genericaly not deeply.
I can't look at the code for that right now, but is far as I can recall it searches for other characters with roughly the same class. If a character has a very high class, it can't find an opponent within a certain range.
I can remove them for you. This will be permanent and I can't reverse it. Are you sure you want me to remove all your battle votes? Does this include team battle votes as well?
I know I don't but it just seems that the world is just going bad. I mean I wish there was never any internet how would the world be then it would change a whole lot and be better that way.
Probably not. I have no way of telling you are actually Darth_Doom. And even if I did give you access, you would have two accounts. I can't easily combine two accounts. Sorry.
All I need to do is remember the password for my profile and then I can do this . I'm going to try and do it But @Nemianlion your inching towards top number 1
I haven't changed anything on the 'activity feed'-page. Could you explain this: "It's weird though, I saw these comments, but I can't see anything on battles or other forums. Maybe it was because it was a reply?" Not sure what you mean. You don't see any comments on battles/forums?
@Galactus Only a certain number of comments appear in the activity feed, while others don't, such as those in battles, team battles, gallery images etc
For now only moderators can add new characters. There are over 260 character awaiting approval. Once that number goes down enough, I'll turn on the add feature again.
There was a bug that allowed anyone to create 20 OCs. Bug is fixed. I'm not going to delete any of those characters, though. As a mod you can create 10 now (just changed it). As a user it's 5.
Hey Galactus, did you read my recent forum post? I would appreciate some feedback and/or updates, another thing I'd like is for moderators to work more closely with you, help you out, as of now, it really is just a title that gives us a few sweeteners, I feel like the mods have a lot to contribute to the site.
Users can't , yet. But I can. It's high on my list. Let me know the ID of the image, I'll remove it if needed. The ID can be found in the url: https://www.superherodb.com/gallery/419/ Where 419 is the ID.
The reason why I said this is because there is a very disturbing image on this site if you mind to delete just tell me where to do it and delete my comment when I say it.
Here's the ID I guess? https://www.google.com/search?q=Legoman2+Superhero+Database&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwibk-GEoOXbAhXIvVMKHetiDBcQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1920&bih=902#imgrc=PL5yOUcCXa5VKM:
This is confusing. If someone has an inappropriate avatar, post his name. Legoman2 doesn't have such image. We're all a bit afraid of sharks, but it's just an image. It won't come hunt you when you sleep. ;)
There are 450 characters awaiting approval. Please approve/disapprove characters first to clean the list. If the list is down to, say 100 characters, I'll let user add new characters again. Otherwise it's going to be a way too long list no-one will go through.
You have to wait until the image fully uploads you'll see it on "edit profile" but won't see it in public, You have to wait days until it's fully uploaded to your profile.
My profile pic still hasn't appeared since Ive joined the site but I did upload it from my phone and I'm guessing that may be the problem. I don't use a laptop, any solution to this?
@Galactus if people keep submitting characters on that beta thing and keep spamming on that thing then Super Hero Data Base will start to suck literally. My suggestion for this is we wait until it can be approved to submit.
@Galactus I've made a framework for a character I want to be added (It's a Marvel character, not mine) Weapon H. I've also posted some details about said character in the comment section.
Never mind. I see what you mean. If yo want an update on a characters you can hit the request button. That appears when at least three users added there user-stats.
I looked into it and found out there's a problem with the class not the ustats. I re-entered everything correctly from Superman's bio and came out with a 21, not a 28
I added a couple of characters on the ¨Add a character¨ page and the page says they have been added, but when I search them on the website they are not there.
I would like to create "The Powerpuff Girls" team. Order is important to match the pic style so : 1.Blossom 2.Bubbles 3.Buttercup I see a lot of teams with a name but I can not find a way of creating one. Thx
How do you know which of your submitted characters have been added to the database? My profile is telling I have added 1 character but it isn't in the approved character section... I can't figure out who it is as I have submitted a fair few...
@Galactus When I was recently in a conversation with you you said you would be changing how interacting with the website would determine your class. After you've made those changes what will be the most effective way to get your class up?
Sorry, I misread your question. I don't have a final list of that yet. In general it will be something like; the more effort it takes to do, the more points you get.
If you don't mind me asking, @Galactus I've noticed that powers can give the characters bonus points. However the Odin Force doesn't effect Thor's level. This goes for a lot of characters. This is not a complaint of any sort I was just wondering how that works
Why do you think the Odin Force isn't affecting Thor's level? How can you tell? Thor with Odin Force (how he is now) puts him at Class 30. Without the Odin Force he's a Class 19.
They are the characters classes, the more powerful the character the higher the class will be, for example omnipresent gives 40 points to a characters class and just flight gives only 1 point, check out "powers" each ability has its number.
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 The most important feature for the SHDB Class is Intelligence. Second is Power. Speed, strength and durability are about equal important. Every Superpower also has different influence on the characters 'power' trait. For example: a character gets more points for being Immortal than having the ability of Flight.
If you can't remember any character that was in it, it's almost impossible. If you voted on that battle, that narrows it down to roughly 700 battles (in your case). If you were the first to create that battle, that would narrow it down even more. I could also search within comments, if you remember a specific word or phrase. I was going to create a 'battle' section on the user profile page, with some form of filter. But there are two other things I want to do first.
I created it. It was team Batman vs team iron man, I remember that the flash and Superman were in it but I don't remember who else. I remember that one of my comments there said something about civil war
When I went to my profile there was this red thing that lets me add a character and it said, "By submitting your character you agree that it is your own creation." What does that mean?
I still need to add things like; History, relatives, occupation, weapons, equipment, etc. After that is done and it has been tested enough, your characters will be added to the main database.
Hey, Galactus, I've been doing some research on the difference between stamina and endurance. You might want to read about it with this I found on Quora: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-endurance-and-stamina
Hey @Galactus have you read my comment on Hulk's profile on all the powers that should be added to him? And how his speed and intelligence should also increase as well?
Yes, I have, twice. The User Character add-on will be the first step in the right direction for all characters to be editable. So, hopefully you will be able to edit Hulks powers yourself soon.
I've seen some reported comments that should not have been reported. So, when should you report a comment?
It's very simple; if the comment goes against the Guidelines.
Don't report a comment if you just dissagree, that's what the voting option is for.
Something else that is giving me a hard time: What qualifies as a separate power? Some characters, particularly very popular characters such as the Hulk, have an umbrella power listed (IE - "Invulnerability" or "Durability") as well as having separate powers listed for every individual aspect of those powers. This wouldn't be a major issue if the same allowance were made for all characters. But it is not. Many others characters with Macro/umbrella powers are not listed this way. Ultimately, this gives some characters an unfair/inaccurate boost.
Additionally, some of the stats seem to be weighted really akwardly. Specificially, strength and durability seem to be weighted WAY to highly. This the combines with the issue outlined above to result in the character classes being thrown way off.
Lastly, character popularity seems to have some effect on the ratings but I cannot determine what as it does not appear to be accounted for anywhere in the character's profile. Can someone explain that to me as well? (I figure this would be the only thing to account for the wildly inaccurate classes and rankings found across the site.)
PS- Some specific weirdness that I hope explains my confusion: Scarlet Witch is a 62, Franklin Richards (child) is a 54. Adult Franklin Richards (Outright stated by Marvel in a comic book to be the most powerful mutant ever born, and whom it was also stated in panel would survive the end of the universe and be born into the next one) is a 23. This makes zero sense.
Also, characters with healing factors or enhanced durability apear to be double-dipping in the stats. Deadpool has 100 for both Power and Durability. This makes no sense to me. And it repeats over many other characters.
Ultimately, if the above where conscious decisions then that is okay; it just means this is not the correct community for me.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I was wondering if I could change my user name? If it's to big of a deal just say so. 😁
Suggesting new items can be done via the Abbs page in your user-menu.
bro there's bad word you didn't put her in the bad word list
There are probably more bad words not in the list yet.
I did remove a bunch of OCs. It might show 'Team with no name' while I'm deleting characters. The whole battle should be deleted too if this was the case.
The OCs are limited due to abuse by other users. If that's not what you mean, please explain a bit more.
I'd also love to see something like a Battle Royale feature, where three or more characters come together to face each other.
Battle Royale is set for a future update.
Doctor Zues already exists. It's a Marvel character. And please don't use SHDb users as OCs. (I'll add that to the Terms and Conditions)

or if i want to debate you
This will end up as sort of a filter. If you're searching for Batman, you'll find one. And in a second selection you'll see all variations.
2 idont want to be rude but aftre you changed the server it kinda sucks
and i joined who is here dumb
It is possible that newly created battles from the last few hours are gone.
Still have no clue of why and how this whole thing happened. Hope it will never happen again.
He has skills in programming and, if he has time, could help you to find some routines to copy some data to csv.
Check the adresses on characters, powers, or pics before asking him. Characters are 10, powers are 60 etc.... I think he will help only genericaly not deeply.
I just created a topic 'Missing Superpowers'. If anything is missing, post it there.
My E-Mail for it is deleted . But I can give you my new one
I'm going to try and do it
But @Nemianlion your inching towards top number 1
I'll look into it.
Here it is!
Why not simply not going on his profile page ?
But the link in Galactus profile is right. 😲
Maybe a "report button" for uploaded images would be useful.
I see no difference when I private message myself.
How to know the message is really private ??
Yes... Im not that dumb 😅
But how ME can I know the message is private ?
Excepting my question.
https://www.superherodb.com/forum/add-characters-to-the-database/100-2607/
But the biggest concerm is that this team is totally frozen in time. (Unlike Avengers for example)
Order is important to match the pic style so :
1.Blossom
2.Bubbles
3.Buttercup
I see a lot of teams with a name but I can not find a way of creating one.
Thx
Joke aside maybe my androidvis too old ?
Stoll doesnt work.
But my android is 5.1.1 a rather old one...
The checkmark I asked for ?
Thx but doesnt seem to work on phone.
Thor with Odin Force (how he is now) puts him at Class 30. Without the Odin Force he's a Class 19.
