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.
{ The One-Above-All is considered a metaphor for the "creative force" or the "unknowable higher force that may or may not exist". It's a signifier for the God concept. While Thor has immense power as a deity, The One-Above-All exists on an the role of an indefinable, transcendent higher power or creative archetype that is above even beings as mighty as Thor within the cosmology of Marvel comics. It's the definitive representation of Godhead/God within Marvel }
However, Ewing notes The One-Above-All is a fictional representation, while Thor is "a big probably-an-alien."
