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.
Andrew should also be way way more intelligent. He created his own device to lock his door, he created his own suit, he created his own web shooters. Andrew is without a doubt smarter than Tom who got almost all his crap from Tony.
Durability is edgy, I don't know who wins that. Strength is probably the only major thing Tom wins in but that ain't going matter because Andrew can just dodge that.
Like I don't get it Andrew is smarter, faster, has more experience. I mean he should win.
