I always thought the CA Superman was featless, aside from holding Limbo and fighting mandrakk, what do the both have that puts them so high to everyones eyes? I see people claiming they can break the fourth wall or that they can effect metaphysics etc etc.........is there any actual proof of that?
^ Thought Robot simply existed in a higher dimensional plane than Limbo, thus Limbo appeared tiny in comparison to him. I wouldn't really call that a quantifiable battle feat.
Most people(myself included) rank Thought Robot so high due to the staggering overtones of the story. Thought Robot represented the essence/embodiment of a 'good story' on a metaphysical/metatextual level--it had the most powerful comic book story in existence. Because it wielded the most powerful story(backed by an adaptive armor that could evidently overcome ANY threat), Thought Robot was beyond pretty much anything, aside from Supreme Being-esque power of course. It was so powerful that it was able to match, and eventually overcome, Mandrakk, who was the metaphysical/metatextual embodiment of an 'evil story'. What's more, Mandrakk had also been feasting on the multiversal energies of The Bleed for untold eons--making him an even more powerful threat.

I'd have to post scans of the entire issue for you to even begin to grasp what was going on in that story... Which I'm not going to do.
Hell, I personally had to read the story several times before I started to understand the overall plot. It's definitely a 'thinking man's' comic, that's for sure. Highly recommend.

It wasn't his purpose, it wasn't his will, he was just a pawn that was teached a lesson. He had other plans/visions and failed to achieve them because he saw that he is wrong. TOAA was always above him, in every regard, power and brains.
Didn't Thanos himself admit defeat in the end?
Edit: BW is about the only one here who understood Superman Beyond and FC the first time he read it.

Thanos prepped for years to find the HOTI. It was never 'given' to him.
Thanos achieve his goal: He acquired the HOTI.
Thanos was the only cat in Marvel with the "will" to handle the true Supreme Being's absolute God power omniversal awareness.
Thanos erased/absorbed all of space-time and hierarchal concepts of reality.
Thanos himself decided to bring back creation, he could've easily left a void in its place.
ie. Thanos became the all-powerful factor of Marvel,
and nothing short of the 'Supreme Being' of another company should stalemate him.
Anyway, the bottom-line is, Thanos fixed Marvel, so yea, he "fulfilled his purpose" however you look at it.

Surely one of the two incessant trolls in this thread will rebuke the truth I posted with absence of evidence,
but trolls have to fulfill their purpose too so I get it. The ignore button is your only defense really.

Everything concerning the cosmic hierarchy is up to self-interpretation. There are some "Comic-Nazis" who try to spam threads with their wall of text and ninja-post with very selected scans, while leaving out everything that contradicts their theory in order to extablish their wishful thinking as "FACT". Read every story yourself, talk with others if you want, your opinion and your interpretation is as valid as those of the Comic-Nazis.
