I saw this before on Thanos' Farm, but it was taken down. There were a few other pages as well.
And I know what you're thinking, because I thought the same as well; maybe this has something to so with TOAA's superior whose existence the LT speculated of.
But the more I thought about it the more it just seemed like a recap of 616 Thanos being guided (or tricked) by the alternate Thanos to absorb the Abstracts and to merge with him, so I'm guessing that 616 Thanos retains his individuality, but that the alternate Thanos is really in control.
This also makes sense because Thanos has to be defeated, and at this point only he himself can do it.
But we'll have to wait and see.
Edit. This is the page I'm talking about, this suggests that Thanos retained his individuality after the merger and that he's dissatisfied with the alternate Thanos' goals.

The alternate thanos that absorbed his reality, did he also absorb his AAO? Is there an AAO for each reality?

He's supposed to have "super intelligence". He should theoretically be smarter then Lex Luthor, but this never plays out.

Lobo is supposed to have "super intelligence", too.

And guess what, they're both dumb as f*ck compared to competent streets, such as the Batman or Hitman:

They already have too many damn superpowers. Adding a super-intellect on top of that would ruin them even more.

Plus super intelligence is hard to portray, especially if one is a writer who doesn't quite grasp scientific concepts.

Batman is meant to be super intelligent, but what it mostly comes off as is poorly written plot devices.

Basically two reasons
One is if writers take the super intelligence in story, Will make all non-superpower heroes useless(Is not limited in Superman, For example: The Flash will make a plan and finish the problem before Batman could even blink
The other is writers poorly writing couldn't handle a really super-intelligence being

What happens to the person possessed by Deadman?

Other than Deadman being in control, obviously.

Does it count as some sort of "demonic possession", which greatly amplifies host's strength? Or is there more to it than just that?

He doesn't amp them, no.

He took control of Barbara Gordon, and was able to use her legs iirc in darkest night.

Considering he could make a paralyzed woman(Barbara) performing a high difficult acrobatic feat, Should be similar to the former( Though not saying he amps host's strength, But certainly could let them perform some they usually couldn't do things)

He was also able to break free from being frozen by one of Mr. Freeze guns.

First as Tim, then as Dick... non-controlled Tim was wailing on the ice with no effect.

It's hinted in the preview that he is in control of the Composite Thanos that will absorb AAO.

No, although there is a LT for each reality, and there might be a separate multiversal LT hanging out with AAO.

But the comic doesn't come out for another ten days, and we won't know until then.

PIS, honestly. Superman read/memorized every single medical text ever published on earth in the space of a few panels... And in a few seconds he memorized the exact construction of the Miracle Machine, and was able to perfectly recall how to build a new one from scratch. etc. etc. Superman could easily make himself smarter than Batman could ever hope to be in a few minutes, if he even remotely applied himself to the task.

But at the end of the day, Batman is smarter than Superman for the same reason Flash is faster: smarts is what Batman brings to the table, just like speed is what Flash brings to the table. If Superman were smarter than Batman and faster than Flash, having all of them together in a team book would be redundant. The other heroes have to shine somewhere.

**You could also make the argument that Bruce isn't necessarily 'smarter' than Superman in general, but rather, he is a better detective/strategist/tactician... A street smarts vs. book smarts sort of thing(not that Bruce isn't book smart as well, but you get what I'm saying.) /shrug

...And Lex is smarter for essentially the same reason: there has to be something that keeps him a relevant threat.

Superman turns into a mellow farm boy when he's around Batman. And even when his super-intelligence was brought into discussion, for example here:

...Batman is treated as the one finding the 'solutions'.

What happens if Eclipso possesses a body possessed by Deadman? Who gets possessed, Deadman, the host, or both?

Red Hulk training America's military would be a good comic book.

Why is Superman's willpower and mind resistance so underrated?
In many forum, people insist Professor X can easily mindrape Superman despiate Superman has resisted stronger mindrape like Parallax or Dominus or Eclipso, etc.
