Personally, I don't think Mxy is "second only to God/Presence" or anything like that. Granted said feat in World's Funnest was incredibly over the top and powerful, but I'd argue given the status of other beings in the DCU, they would be able to perform the same thing. Of course, it being an Elseworld (though still canon for the character Mxy) gives some leeway in that they're able to destroy the DC Omniverse.
Ultimately, I would say LT beats Mxy (as would other phenomenally powerful beings in the DCU close to LT in power/status), but Mxy does have the single best feat under his belt.

Based on him recalling Elseworld events and being able to jump into them whenever he likes. No more different than LT's appearances in What-Ifs being canon for him.

The Gog thing was valid, imo. Just like any character, Mxy has his highs and lows, and World's Funnest is undoubtedly his highest feat ever (easily the highest feat in the history of feats). The Gog thing makes sense to me simply because his staff was borrowing from multiple sources of power. Add that to the fact that Mxy simply doesn't operate on that scale of power regularly and there really shouldn't any big deal about it. It's canon, sure, but also an extremely high end feat that, imo, doesn't portray Mxy as he's commonly portrayed power wise.
As far as the Superman Prime/Annataz thing goes, that just seems like bad writing, imho.
In any case, neither of those incidents would ever happen to Living Tribunal.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankI see why you'd say that but I count everything if I believe it to be canon. I lump it all together and don't scoff at someone saying Wolverine cut King Thor. I welcome anything canon coming my way just like my opponents should expect the same.

Oh, I count that they did happen and acknowledge them as canon, but I also have my own opinions concerning the validity of them and whether or not they're bad writing or veering into PIS territory, which is all, at the end of the day, subjective to personal preference.
Generally, you have to find a fine line between writer intent, feats, statements, portrayals, fights, and whatnot to get a good sense of where a character stands. Relying exclusive on one aspect does no one any favors, imo.
Originally posted by JakeTheBankI don't rely on one showing but to show a weakness I definitely use them. I wouldn't argue Dr. Strange consistently depowers Mxy based on the Annataz showing.
