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.
First time Black panther penetrated into his suit and smashed Tony so hard.
After first defeat Tony decided to take revenge and created suit that was resistant to black panther's anti-metal claws
although he lost.
Even the author of the comic would announce black panther as a winner if not BP's sudden seizure caused by crash. (BP didn't manage to finish him, Iron man couldn't even move)
Their last encounter was quick battle where BP cut Iron man's suit with the sword and overthrew him from the sky
P.s Voting for some one who lost 3 battles out of 3 is a crime.
