How does S-Class heroes' power compare to threat levels?


In _One Punch Man_ , there are classes for heroes, and threat levels for
monsters/villains. How does S-Class heroes' power compare to threat levels?




This can be answered from the information in the bonus chapter, _Threat Level_
, in **Volume 15**.

The threat level and hero rank comparison shown in the chapter are:

  * Wolf Level - needs 3 Class-C heroes or 1 Class-B hero
  * Tiger Level - needs 5 Class-B heroes or 1 Class-A hero
  * Demon Level - needs 10 Class-A heroes or 1 Class-S hero

Disaster or threat levels above demon (dragon and god) were never compared but
based on the events in the manga, this might require multiple Class-S heroes,
depending on the ability or capability of both the monster and the hero facing
it.

* * *

There are different threat levels decided upon by the Hero Association. The
decision on the threat level depends on

> factors such as strength, aggressiveness, and the estimated difficulty in
> defeating [the monster].

It was also noted in the same chapter that

> hero ranks are an imperfect representation of combat ability due to
> inconsistent factors like battleground conditions and monster compatibility.
