EDIT: Okay, apparently they were, but they were non-canon and on Earth-1A.

Hypertime?
You explained why it was canon to me before, using the COIE argument. But the way it seems to me, is that since its an Elseworlds story, they can write whatever they want. I mean, there was no multiverse when that story was written. No infinite earths. Yet the writers made it so, anyway. And then going around destroying a bunch of things that are already non-canon...
I'm just not getting how it could be canon, unless its explained away via hypertime or something like it. And I know you know the most about Mxy, so would probably be able to explain that best.
Lemme also preface this by stating that even if we include WF as canon and what current Mxy can do (again, 10th Age of Magic probably changed the rules for 5th Dimension entities), I probably wouldn't give Mxy the win over Thanos. It'd be a stalemate IMO, because destroying the universe (or omniverse) wouldn't be enough to kill Thanos. He's also omniscient and could trick Mxy into saying his name backwards, or possibly mindrape him into doing so (that seems unlikely, I admit to that...)
Originally posted by EnyalusWF being an Elseworlds story doesn't automatically make it non-canon (as there are several canonical Elseworlds tales.) But Mxy visiting the COIE-verse tells me, without a doubt, that WF was canon (there being only one COIE, and such.)
I'm not sure how Mxy in an Elseworlds story (which is usually non-canon) can go to a non-canon universe and destroy that, and have the aforementioned story be canon.Hypertime?

Many people don't know this, but there was a multiverse after COIE, and before 52 (it was referenced a couple times throughout a few different comics.) So a multiverse existing during WF makes sense. But Hypertime is also a potential answer.
Mxy didn't destroy a "bunch" of non-canon universes. In fact, almost every universe we saw being destroyed, was canon. Also, the ease in which Mxy vaporized universes in WF does coincide (as do many other things) with how easily Emperor Joker was able to do the same. Meaning, the feats Mxy displayed in WF weren't out of his powerset. At all.
Furthermore, Mxy is ALWAYS an excuse for DC writers to do whatever they want, such as:
own Spectre
retcon characters on a whim
destroy universes with an ACME bomb
canonically cross over into other companies
Talk to DC staff directly
etc, etc
(ALL of the above feats are indisputably canon, btw.)
So again, nothing in WF was out of Mxy's insane powerset.
Originally posted by EnyalusThere's no evidence that Mxy's powers have been mucked with due to the 10th age of magic.

Mindrape? Since it's never happened to Mxy, I wouldn't say it's likely.
The name backwards thing? That's a stip Mxy places on himself. A stip he can choose not to abide by (as he's shown before.)
