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.
@Galactus, I added 2 character which are not from the main universe of Star Wars, but different universes, so I think that the name instead of being Star Wars Universe should be Star Wars Verse or Star Wars Multiverse, I prefer the first one.
I did a quick read on both. They seem to be part of the main Star Wars Universe.
Let's leave them there, we can always move them around in the future if needed.
@Galactus, in this collection I put the characters that should be in the Star Wars Legends Multiverse. May be there are some missing, but I this is all I found.
I want to get all characters in their respective Verses as soon as possible. I've just just updated about 100 to 150 characters, but there are just too many.
What I want to suggest is the following (if you want to help out);
Create a Collection with the name of the verse starting with '*verse: '. So it would look something like; '*verse: MCU' (without the quotes)
Add all characters you know should belong to that verse.
Post a reply to this message with a link to your collection.
This way I can quickly add all of them to the corresponding verse.
You will earn some extra points for each character connected to a verse.
I will add a bonus 5000 points if you participate.
We are now at 7808 characters that have a Verse, of a total of 13623.
If you request a character from a Verse that isn't in the database yet, please first request the Verse (ask any mod+ to upvote) and then add the character, so you can select the right Verse.
So, would the collection just be characters that should be in the verse but are in the wrong verse?
Like, if I did it with the MCU, would the collection be everyone in the MCU, or just everyone that SHOULD be in the MCU, but isn't.
I only need the ones that aren't connected yet, or have a wrong connection. But if one slips into your collection that is already connected to that verse it's ok, the script will skip those.
What if we created a collection and then somebody requested another character from that verse but doesn't select the correct verse or doesn't choose a verse. Would we have to constantly update the collection after some time regularly?
That's where my last paragraph comes in. People shouldn't be requesting characters anymore if the verse, in which they belong, doesn't exist yet.
This collection verse idea will be temporary. I'll give it a few days (or a week, maybe two) for people to create their collections. Then I'll add them all to the right verses (and maybe delete the collections).
There will always be characters without or with wrong verses. But changing a few characters is ok. I just want a large majority to have the right verse.
We can go through the universe shorthand names once we get closer to the 100% character connection.
I want to limit it to, let's say, a maximum of 16 characters long. It will be auto added to character names and shouldn't be too long.
Okay, I made a collection of Earth-982 characters that are in the wrong verse, but it's only like, 5 people, since most major MC2 characters I had to request
Can/shall I rename the collections I made for the Bleach, Fairy Tail and Hunter x Hunter characters?
I also created a collection for the My Hero Academia Verse: https://www.superherodb.com/verse-my-hero-academia-verse/800-1616/
I don't why so many of those characters have their 'hero names' as main entries. It makes only sense for a handful of these characters imo.
I'm not familiar with any of the universes you named.
The important thing is that characters are grouped together, we can always rename specific universes later.
Hope that makes sense.
On the profile for Kulan Gath, which Kulan Gath is it? The original or the impostor? I assume the impostor, but under real name it says Kulan Gath, which would not be his real name. I'd like to add whichever Kulan Gath it's not.
Short answer: No, you can't create Jesus as an OC.
1. In the Guidelines: "Don’t discuss real life politics and religion." -- I might need to change the word 'discuss', but you get the point.
2. The O in OC stands for Original. Since you didn't create Jesus, he can't be your OC.
3. In the OC terms: 'Don't use real people', but in the case of Jesus this might be a grey area.
And the above discussion is EXACTLY why I don't want real life religion and politics on this website.
This profile is all messed up. I don't know why the profile picture isn't from the comics, and I don't know why the name is written Yashida, Shingen, and not Shingen Yashida. Also, that's not even his name. It's Shingen Harada, Yashida is just his daughters last name and the clan name.
Almost everything you do will get you points, except commenting (to prevent spamming).
Simple things will get you less points, like voting a battle. Things that take more effort will get you more points, like uploading images.
I'm not going into detail on what gets you the most points, because people will abuse it just to get more points, and we end up with low quality input.
Galactus, I would just like to know when the powers that were recently added to the site will be scored and if those scores are going to be attributed to the characters that have those powers at this point.
Hey Boss, What is the turn around time on adding a character? Made some requests a couple weeks ago and they are still just sitting there. Sad! You must have a gazillion things to do, but would love to know, when it's convenient! I'm new to the site, so I hope this is a portable post in the right spot!
Best Regards, Supergao
All editors, moderators and heralds can vote to get items added to the website.
I'm not checking the requests that often myself, to have some more time building new features and fixing bugs.
So, there is no set time that a request will be added/removed.
I don't know where else to ask this, but can the name of the universe for the MCU be changed to Earth 199999 (MCU) since every other universe goes by ID number?
How to transfer all of my set to delete OC battles to similar characters I requested on the database? Is there a strategy for this or not? Please let me know asap. I'm sure there's a function you know that could transfer all of my OC battles to the similar characters I requested on the database.
So your telling me that all of my OC battles data can’t be transferred to the battles for my similar requested characters I added on the database. Why is this not possible? Has any battles data been transferred before for any of the characters that’s in the database? Just curious. The reason why I ask this is due to many users who never asked this type of question before on the database.
1. There shouldn't even be OCs that are also official characters.
2. There is no connection data between OCs and official characters to use to swap them.
3. Even if that would be possible, there will be duplicate battles.
Go to gallery of a character , then click on upload image. You can choose the image then for that character (however see the gallery to check previously added images, otherwise you might enter a duplicate image which is already in the gallery).
Go to the Gallery of the character, you will have the Upload option , from there you can add a picture to the character, however if you are talking about the character's PP , you should have the editing rights for that character to do so.
Hi, I've come back after a long time and I'm happy to see all my OCs are all there!
However, since then I decided to change their names, specifically Logic and Weredog.
How do I change their names if I want to change Logic to Chak and Weredog to Woofy.
There is a bug. your OC after edit changed to real character, you can find them in your Items Added list. Yesterday I ask @everyone stop making and editing OC until Galactus fix this bug.
@Galactus Can you add this publisher please? (07th Expansion)
This is the publisher of one of the most important and powerful verses in all fiction, also one of the least known (Umineko) to which belongs this character for example.
I'm not overrating it just wanted it to be added as publisher since Umineko is one of the strongest verses according to many ppl, @Akhil also agrees with this, plus if you consider that another publisher should be added you can always ask to Galactus here.
Well I don't specialize by knowing many companies, I barely know such as 7th expansion, Capcom, Namco, Shueisha, SNK etc... so (as I said) if you think there is a publisher which is forgetting and is important, you can request it here
So I requested the SSBU universe, and now it's part of the universes category. However it says:
The Universes are still being converted and added to this list.
What does this mean?
That there are still characters with a universe suffix, but not added to an actual universe yet.
If everything is converted, the suffix will be removed and automatically added to the name where needed.
I don't know why you need it. You can edit characters request yourself and ask for more 3 characters per day. you only ask for video game characters so Obviously you only know video game characters and we don't know anything from your knowledge about comic characters and even you have one of the lowest score even among those who are online right now. So base on your knowledge and your points, it is completely unfair to other users to make you editor.
I don't want to make this public but you ask for it.
@Ezio You should know I can edit other characters, I just prefer to do video game characters specifically, plus I edited Gumball and Bill Cipher. To prove this I will request 2 or 3 comic or other genre characters to edit. Also what points would be preferred a rank in which I can be editor?
So I was editing a couple of characters I didn't even know I could edit, and when I start to do Hanzo, it says I can't do more than 6 characters. Why is that?
Is it because I need a role to do so? Would it possible if you promoted me to editor? I have a lot of characters I want to edit.
Because I actually want to add more, I don't want to delete my edits.
No, Don't do that. What you said is not practical at all. You have had this account for more than two years but looks like you haven't used it in a long time
This is the most ridiculous reason for adding a character twice. There are more than 10000 character in database and less than 2,000 of them had stats V2. If you want to add stats to any of them , you can ask.
Hello everybody. I've been making a lot of requests for characters (TF2 mercs, overwatch characters, etc.) And one of my requests, Brigitte, has like some sort of blue bar that is only a little filled. Can someone tell me what that means?
It's exactly the same as getting a link from any other website;
Right click the image -> Copy image address (or something similar). On a phone it's probably long-press, etc.
Then paste that in your comment surrounded by the [img] tags. (see Help for that)
I don't think we need more editor right now but By showing your perseverance (creating battle, voting, adding image, adding link to image, adding uStat, requesting new characters) Galactus maybe gives you a role.
If your character is original and has no copyright issues: abbs-> My OC->create new character
If the character already exists: abbs-> Request-> character
My trick seems to have worked and you confessed yourself. You have more than 10 alternate account and I muted your main account to show we are not stupid. As final warning I mute all your accounts except one Until Galactus comes and deletes them all.
So choose one of your accounts as your only one and I mute rest of them.
Hi @Galactus, I'm having a hard time making my battle link clickable in the vote for my battle forum, Is there anyway to do that. I tried putting [] this around it and it didn't work. Thank you and sorry to bother you.
1. The site freezes a lot in the creation of battles; don't know if it's mobile smartphone related or not. Some characters cause it to freeze more than others. Annihilator is one of the characters that I can't get to go through. 2. It happens a lot, too, if you are in the middle of creating a battle. You might have added 11 characters to a battle when it freezes. Once that happens, you are forced to start over. 3. What's the process for new character promotion? it doesn't let you vote anymore and I've been patient. Characters like Spartan with Void, The Silverhawks, A Punisher like character in B. B. Hood, and Tron Bonne is a genius in robotics. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND PLEASE HELP.
1 & 2. I've never experienced such an issue. The search function sometimes acts up a bit, having the results pop up a bit later than expected. Never a complete freeze, though. I've tried it on MacOS Safari and Chrome, iOS Safari and Windows 10 Chrome. If others have the same problem, I would like to know.
3. Only Editors (and up) can vote. I'll ask everyone to go through the list and vote. Hope that will speed up the requests.
Sorry that I missed this one. The speed issue mainly happens on mobile S7 Galaxy phone and it doesn't matter what browser I use. I guess I'll just have to bear it--except when I can use my PC. I don't seem to have any such issues when using my PC.
I don't have any Android devices here to test this.
If you are able to create a video (screen grab) of it, that might help find the bug that's causing this.
I have not been on much lately--in a very long time really. What was the process for getting character pics for the characters that didn't have a pic in their profile photo? How do you do it?
Ezio--Thanks...I have added a Pic for Devo. It was hard to find pics on him. I also added two for Ray...They didn't have profile pics before. Very Powerful characters.
Hi Galactus I want to ask you something because im new to here
All I want to ask you is how do you make power stats and an image of your character the way you want him to be
I assume you are talking about the OC feature.
To make an OC look at the top of the website, go to
Abbs > My OCs > Create an OC
From there you can feel free to edit any part of your new character.
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.
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.
Let's leave them there, we can always move them around in the future if needed.

I want to get all characters in their respective Verses as soon as possible. I've just just updated about 100 to 150 characters, but there are just too many.
What I want to suggest is the following (if you want to help out);
Create a Collection with the name of the verse starting with '*verse: '. So it would look something like; '*verse: MCU' (without the quotes)
Add all characters you know should belong to that verse.

This way I can quickly add all of them to the corresponding verse.
You will earn some extra points for each character connected to a verse.
I will add a bonus 5000 points if you participate.

If you request a character from a Verse that isn't in the database yet, please first request the Verse (ask any mod+ to upvote) and then add the character, so you can select the right Verse.
Like, if I did it with the MCU, would the collection be everyone in the MCU, or just everyone that SHOULD be in the MCU, but isn't.
This collection verse idea will be temporary. I'll give it a few days (or a week, maybe two) for people to create their collections. Then I'll add them all to the right verses (and maybe delete the collections).
There will always be characters without or with wrong verses. But changing a few characters is ok. I just want a large majority to have the right verse.
I want to limit it to, let's say, a maximum of 16 characters long. It will be auto added to character names and shouldn't be too long.
I also created a collection for the My Hero Academia Verse:
https://www.superherodb.com/verse-my-hero-academia-verse/800-1616/
I don't why so many of those characters have their 'hero names' as main entries. It makes only sense for a handful of these characters imo.
The important thing is that characters are grouped together, we can always rename specific universes later.
Hope that makes sense.
And why does it give a music when I click to see the Stats?
And the Imperial March for Vader...
1. In the Guidelines: "Don’t discuss real life politics and religion." -- I might need to change the word 'discuss', but you get the point.
2. The O in OC stands for Original. Since you didn't create Jesus, he can't be your OC.
3. In the OC terms: 'Don't use real people', but in the case of Jesus this might be a grey area.
And the above discussion is EXACTLY why I don't want real life religion and politics on this website.
I see you figured that one out. 👍🏻
Simple things will get you less points, like voting a battle. Things that take more effort will get you more points, like uploading images.
I'm not going into detail on what gets you the most points, because people will abuse it just to get more points, and we end up with low quality input.
The points will automatically be used in the calculation of the classes.

I'm not checking the requests that often myself, to have some more time building new features and fixing bugs.
So, there is no set time that a request will be added/removed.
I've added 'Earth-199999' as an alias for now.
There is a Characters by Class page that might help.
2. There is no connection data between OCs and official characters to use to swap them.
3. Even if that would be possible, there will be duplicate battles.
So, I attempted to add an image, and it almost worked, but if I go to the image it's not there, it's just black. Any idea why that's the case?
However, since then I decided to change their names, specifically Logic and Weredog.
How do I change their names if I want to change Logic to Chak and Weredog to Woofy.
One of the OCs that I deleted were Weredog, and I think you could change the name of the character now.
Please do whenever you can
Or is this just a special scenario?
This is the publisher of one of the most important and powerful verses in all fiction, also one of the least known (Umineko) to which belongs this character for example.
@Michaeldem17 If you need publishers/creators added, just let me know.
2. Why would I report myself?
The Universes are still being converted and added to this list.
What does this mean?
If everything is converted, the suffix will be removed and automatically added to the name where needed.
I manually run the delete script every now and then.
I don't want to make this public but you ask for it.
Is it because I need a role to do so? Would it possible if you promoted me to editor? I have a lot of characters I want to edit.
Because I actually want to add more, I don't want to delete my edits.
How would it be possible to give them official stats?
Sombra and Genji.
Would it be in the official Superhero Database stats or as User Stats?
Right click the image -> Copy image address (or something similar). On a phone it's probably long-press, etc.
Then paste that in your comment surrounded by the [img] tags. (see Help for that)
Can't edit more than 6 characters.
If the character already exists: abbs-> Request-> character
Edit: Help, his alts are downvoting me :(
So choose one of your accounts as your only one and I mute rest of them.
Grey: low
Blue: medium
Purple: high
2. Click the purple 'Edit' button. (or pencil, if you're on a phone)
3. Click 'Add to edit'
4. Click 'Edit Profile'
When done editing,
1.Go to your 'Abbs' in the User Menu
2. Click 'My Edits'
3. Click the 'remove' button.
3. Only Editors (and up) can vote. I'll ask everyone to go through the list and vote. Hope that will speed up the requests.
ANYWAY, THANKS AS ALWAYS FOR YOUR HELP!

The OCs are limited due to abuse by other users. If that's not what you mean, please explain a bit more.
