😬 World's Funnest isn't canon. And Hypertime itself was discontinued/retconned by DC.

And Hypertime has been mentioned in several comics since 'Kingdom' (one of which being an issue of 52/Countdown.)

Its an Elseworlds tale (and I have it on my computer and freakin' can't find it now, damnit!). All Elseworlds are non-canon.
As far as Hypertime goes, Executive Editor Dan DiDio said it'd be invalid post IC or something like that.

It doesn't surprise me that DC contradicts itself...
But that's not even important. The part about Worlds Funnest being noncanon is. And that stands. 'Cause it was an Elseworlds.

Except that the KC universe was later brought into the DC Multiverse as E-22, as you well know. And being later referenced in canon JSA stories.

"Non-canon sources are invalid for evidence. With rare exceptions, comics not in continuity such as Elseworlds, What Ifs, or alternate universes are not used for evidence in debates of a particular mainstream character."
I should've qualified my original statement by saying, "All Elseworlds are non-canon unless brought into the mainstream DCU later on"...Pardon me, I didn't think I needed to state the obvious.

No. Mxy is like the LT. All stories and realities are canon to him. I thought you knew that? Superman Batman 25 for the win.
Also as Galen stated, there was only ONE crisis. No alternate crisis could have taken place. Thus World's funnest is Canon.

I assume you're talking about the point he says, "No matter what time or universe, some version of you two exists! And when that balance is upset or uprooted...it upsets my life in the 5th dimension..." Except that doesn't really prove that all of Mxy's appearances are canon. Only if they appear within one of DC's 52 universes. Of which Worlds Funnest was clearly not. It was a fictional story and non-canon. And the KMC rules say its non-canon, too. So that creation-blast thing can't be used as one of Mxy's powers.
Another thing...you're citing Loeb as evidence? 🙁 I didn't hear you or anyone else jumping to correct TP when he said this:

Hang on. Spectre is a lousy example, and that was not the regular Mxy. That was Earth 2 Mxy. He does use magic, so that works.And come to think of it......that might have been an alternate Mxy in Countdown, but I can't be sure.
I've also heard similar excuses about 'alternate Mxy' for Gog blowing a hole through him in The Kingdom, too. Seems strange no one ever brought up the 'One, Canon Mxy' argument before.
