I still find it puzzling that people consider LT being defeated by the HOTU, though it's said, or 'inferred', on panel, that it's sole purpose was for it to be used to destroy and recreate the 'universe' (or multiverse, depending on who you ask), as commissioned by TOAA itself, is supposed to somehow degrade LT's standing in the hierarchy. TOAA designated the HOTU with a specific purpose which was carried out, Thanos was simply the pawn TOAA used to carry out the purpose designated for the HOTU.That's parallel to if The Presence empowered, say, Professor Chimp, with the power to recreate the DCU, and he did so, and in the process of doing so, he destroyed Michael, so somehow it degrades Michael's standing because the Presence provided the means to defeat Michael by granting Professor Chimp the power to fulfill a purpose of The Presence's will, whether by tricking Professor Chimp into doing so or my directly commissioning him to do so.
That line of reasoning is flawed.
He has some low showings, despite HOTI.
