Thanos erases Superman with the Cosmic Armor with a thought.
it is created to win any scenario, regardless of scenario. time, space, multiverses and their characters are just stories being told from it's perspective and it's a walking plot designed to evolve and be greater than any shy of the Overvoid/Overmonitor itself.
The whole point of it being Beyond3D was to show how far beyond the 2 Dimension comics 'stories' he actually was.
He existed conceptually in the highest point that a story can achieve, drastically beyond the level of the multiverse in the highest conceptual sphere. At bridge between reader, god, and stories forming around him. He feels the comic being held, the pages turning, and feels as if he can actually reach out and touch the reader [being 3D and popping up from the page, obviously.] and could feel and change the story.
The stronger the enemy, the stronger it writes itself to be to win, to no determined end. It just wins. Propelled forward by the very concept of heroism, projected by the reader.
This was essentially Morrison's retelling of god creating the angels/Monitors, and the enemy, but all in the form of conceptually high end cosmic beings, and CA Superman is greater than all of them.. It even defeats the part of the OverMonitor itself that hates the multiverse and stories. Just keeps evolving past it.
