Shouldn't Thanos in the home dimension be infinitely beyond Dr. Manhattan? I've caught up on Doomsday Clock, but I don't know how this is any fight yet, even with him warping reality by making alterations throughout time. The fight with the heroes was nothing impressive at all at this level.
If he thought Firestorm and Captain Atom were annoying.....he's getting turned into a blue dildo with a snap.

What issue was this in? A tie-in?
How is Dr. Manhattan even remotely comparable to Mxy? From what I can tell, he's warping reality by making alterations. Mxy could take all of reality, rip into pieces, and put it back together again differently.
I call typical, new comic, bullshit on this. Mxy is an annoying measuring stick. He's supposed to be the strongest in DC by feats, especially WF is "technically" canon, but he's more than once been one-upped or beaten by a new flavour to show how competent the new character is, so it constantly shifts the scales.

He said it one. You have one statement to back up that Dr.M>Mxy.
You don't apply that same logic to Oz because it's more clear that Mxy>Oz.Ill wait to see how this develops.
Galan already made a detailed post about it, IIRC. Mxy mentioned it at least twice, across a few issues. I don't think he was lying about it, either.
All three mentions are here.

Thank you for the link.
In the first post with Superman and Oz (For the record, that was a surprising low-tier Mxy. Lowest since the Zatarra and Superman-Prime showing?)?
That's all very vague and inconclusive.

The being Mxy is referring to is vague, but we all know who screwed with continuity, thanks to Doomsday Clock.

In the first scan(with Superman), Mxy was actually written to a really high level. He casually created the 'Infinite Planet' -- basically his own 5D variation of the Daily Planet, which housed an infinite number of timelines/life traps *just* to try and trap Superman and Lois.
In the second scan(with Oz), a trans-dimensional booby trap was placed, so when Mxy 'ported to earth to phuck with Superman, he was instantly transported to that featureless 'Negative Space' you see he and Oz talking in. That realm was supposed to nullify ALL of Mxy's powers and keep him trapped there... But as shown a few pages later: once Mxy had his fill of that realm, he was able to use his power to 'port out of it unaided.
For all his power, Doctor Manhattan is slow on the uptake, not really a fighter, and easily confused/distracted by the novel or the unexpected. Even with the less absolutely powerful presentations of the Gauntlet, Thanos would wreck Osterman by virtue of being someone for whom battling mighty foes is as natural as breathing. In particular, Thanos excels at presenting out-of-context problems to his enemies, which is exactly how you'd want to set up Manhattan for a fall.
Thanos could of course have a self-sabotage flare-up, but if his own intermittant CIS doesn't rear its head, he should be able to exploit's Jon's more or less character-defining CIS.
