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.
Eä/ the universe: High 1-A (created by Eru Iluvatar, is described as being immeasurable and containing infinite regions and halls beyond what can be rigorously analyzed or structured within the framework of mathematical theories like set theory rely on well-defined collections that can be modeled formally. Eä's infinite scope is intentionally left undefined by Tolkien. set theory are based on logical deductions from clearly specified axioms. But Eä's nature exceeds any attempt at full definition, Tolkien portrayed Eä creation as just a tiny aspect of Eru Ilúvatar's mind. This points to scales of infinity far outside formal systems
The Timeless Void/Ancient darkness : High 1-A ( uninhabited space outside Time and Creation, the absence of the Flame Imperishable. It is told that Melkor used to wander in the Void to look in vain for the Flame Imperishable. also referred to as the Abyss, was conceived as the state of absolute nothingness, a condition of total non-being, that existed outside of the boundaries of Eä, the created material universe, representing a wholly empty realm separate from Eru Ilúvatar's work of creation where no being, matter, Primordial concept or idea had existence at all forming an utter vacuum devoid of anything but formless, timeless void stretching without end either in all of time and space where even the concepts of Existence, held no meaning within its entirely vacant expanse.)
The Timeless Halls/Heaven: High 1-A (described as a metaphysical realm that existed prior to the creation of Eä, the material universe, within which Eru Ilúvatar dwelt alone before conceiving of the Ainur and beyond whose boundary Eä was made, as the Timeless Halls lay outside of the all limits of creation and are referenced as stretching without bounds from the Abyss to the Infinite Firmament, a realm of a non-physical or metaphysical nature within which Eru first brought into being the angelic spirits known as the Ainur before singing With them the Music that became the Reality continuum/Reality foundation.)
Eru Iluvatar/God: 1-S ( monotheistic god, of Tolkien-verse, driving force behind all existence, Supreme being of Ainur It is completely transcendental over High Outer 1-A structures such as timeless voids and timeless halls described above )
