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.
I cracked up when I saw that reply
Silver Surfer easily defeats the hulk in TALES TO ASTONISH VOL. 1 #92-93 1967
Iron Man defeated the hulk IRON MAN VOL. 1 #132 1980
That would be the biggest troll
know he has enhanced Healing, but healing is just like muscle tissue, while Regeneration is healing limbs and organs, Hulk has even grew a new head before.

------------------------------------------------
Energy Absorption - Drained Everett Marverick's gamma radiation out of his body completely.
------------------------------------------------
Fire Resistance - To me this is obvious, fire can't hurt the Hulk at all.

Immortality - Not too sure, but I bet Hulk can die in some way. I mean, Immortal Hulk might not, but Savage Hulk has been harmed by attacks from Thor and Sentry.
---
Energy Absorption - That's radiation absorption.
---
Dimensional Travel - That's not dimensional travel, that's using pure strength to destroy the time barrier!

Also, I think a 16 for Hulk is EXTREMELY low, especially when guys like Thor and Sentry are 30 and 23 respectively, I believe Sentry should be somewhere between 27 - 29, and Hulk should be 26 - 32, because his power fluctuates, but Hulk is shown to be at least almost as powerful as Thor over all (Although I believe him to be even more powerful, especially with the new Immortal Hulk) I think the Hulk should be AT LEAST 26, though if I was in charge I would put him at 32, just because of his CRAZY FEATS.
One more thing, I added Immortal Hulk and space Punisher Hulk, Space Punisher Hulk is CRAZY powerful, able to beat 5 - 6 Monitors, Universal - Multi Universal level beings, so he should be like 45 - 50 at that level, Immortal Hulk maybe 35 - 38 because he was able to fight Hercules, Jane Foster, Rogue and Wonder Man at the same time, that was after tanking an Asgardian level attack LIKE IT WAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
