Class System

The Class system is a method used by the Wardens and the IDA to analyse and scale ones superpowered capability as well as the threat levels of villains that arise. Skill and intelligence are accounted for but will not severely increase the threat level of an individual. The scale is logarithmic, meaning that there is a great power disparity within each individual Class. Someone at the top of Class 4 far outmatches someone at the bottom of Class 4, and someone at the bottom of Class 4 far outmatches someone in Class 3. The Class system is also used in Warden training, as the higher somebodies Class is, the higher the points that the members of the academy earn when defeating one in a simulation.

## Class 1

Individuals in Class 1 are individuals with minor superhuman enhancements. They may consist of low level bank-robbers with slightly enhanced strength/speed. Most low-ranked Wardens are in this level and perform charity over combat. Human weapons such as bullets and knives are generally a major threat to those in this class and a sufficiently skilled unpowered human can take an unskilled individual of this class level without weapons. The majority of powered individuals are in this category, with 1 in 1000 humans on Earth having a power of Class 1.

## Class 2

Individuals in Class 2 are roughly equivalent in threat to an armoured vehicle, being too much of a threat for any individual unpowered human without weaponry to take on. Several unpowered individuals with military grade weaponry may be able to defeat a Class 2 individual without the need of calling in a Warden to support them. Class 2 individuals are powerful enough to be a credible threat to small towns, causing minor levels of destruction. Sludge is a Class 2 Villain that threatened the suburb he was present in, but he was defeated by Jim and Ahmed, who were inexperienced at the time. Roughly 1 in 100,000 individuals are born with powers strong enough to be categorised in Class 2.

## Class 3

Class 3 individuals are considered too powerful to be taken on by unpowered individuals, even with weaponry. An armoured tank may be able to defeat an extremely low level Class 3 individual, but any mid to high tier Class 3 individual can outclass military vehicles without much difficulty. Class 3 villains are generally considered a major threat to any city they are present in, and are mostly individuals who are placed in the consideration of a nations Warden Leading team. Conversely, heroes in Class 3 are generally in the national team of the country they're in, meaning they handle threats that are beyond the level of street-patrolling or even state Wardens.

Examples of Class 3 heroes are: Jim, Ahmed, Starburst, Spark, Flux, Spectra, Dogbert, Socceroo, Gaspard, Silver Aegis, Captain Kangaroo, Velocitron, Geomancer, Oni, and more.

Examples of Class 3 villains are: Blaze, Kraken, Takawa, and more.

Roughly 1 in 10,000,000 humans on Earth are in Class 3

## Class 4

Beings in Class 4 are incredible immense in power, low level Class 4 individuals include most-wanted mass murderer Deathbolt, while high level Tier 4 individuals include the dark lord Reaper, who is capable of demolishing an entire city with just one powered blast. Powerful individuals in Class 4 are known to be able to destroy entire armies, and some can withstand being in the centre of a nuclear bomb. Notable mid tier Class 4 heroes are the Dragonmaster, Powerman, Perseus, Arlena, Celeste, and Pulsar. Class 4 has the most notable power disparity between the top of the class to the bottom of the class, as Reaper, the most powerful Class 4 entity ever recorded, is able to fend off the Dragonmaster, Perseus, and Arlena simultaneously. In fact, the Dragonmaster needed to activate his most powerful form to even with Reaper just for a period of around 20 minutes. Less than 100 Class 4 individuals have been recorded by the Wardens data in history.

## Class 5

Individuals in Class 5 are considered powerful enough to cause the extinction of humanity singlehandedly. Beings like Moraak, who is capable of ripping an entire continent of the surface of the Earth with just his telekinesis, or Necron who was capable of burning the surface of an entire planet. The only known hero in this tier is Vidian, the leader of the Wardens, who remains in space to fend of galactic level threats. The most powerful Class 5 being to ever exist, Arctus, was able to toss planets like pebbles and was even capable of temporarily tearing a veil through the universe with just his raw power

## Class X

Individuals in Class X are too powerful to be classed and can easily cause galaxy ending events with a snap of their fingers. Old Gods such as Zeus and Hades are part of this class, as well as the 4 Demon Primarchs (Calaban , Melitus, Drazor and Azriel). Arctus can be considered to be in Class X as his power grows infinitely over time, however at the time of his death he was only in high Class 5. God and the Unity are the two most powerful beings to ever exist, with the Unity powerful enough to defeat God, as well as threaten the existence of the Old Gods and the Demon Primarchs.
