It becomes supermassive at 100,000 times the mass of our friendly local Sun. That's...honestly inconceivable. The largest we've found are tens of billions times that mass. That's...insane.
And we don't really know how they got that big. Because there are stellar mass black holes, which are typically up to 65 solar masses. Some bigger ones are caused by fusing two together.
There's nothing, though, between that and 100,000. That's one of the universe's weirdnesses.
