I applaud DC on the whole reader/story/writer concept that they have going on it is really different. It's just such a weird concept.
Your basically asking me if I could beat up a fictional character in a comic book, well not really, your asking me if I could beat up the comic book itself. But it's not quite that simple because in the comic CA Superman would still beat me..
IWhat feats does Empty Hand have in the actual comics though? He created the Gentry is all I remember.

But it's CA Superman so he actually would win in the comic I guess.
But you'd never actually be able to destroy the concept of Superman, which is what the Thought Robot was made to be.
Its you, vs an idea/story. One which has been around since before you were born, and one that will remain after you're dead. So you're not fighting a comic book, you're fighting the concept of Superman itself.
Basically, you vs this:

That's why I said Superman would win in the comic. Or, I guess technically that mfer beat me out here as well lol. I think the whole concept in general is kinda fun to throw around and very imaginative.
And mxy is a savage little ****.
But honestly, from both Marvel and DC (more DC) I really can't stand how big the characters are getting in levels of power and stuff, when you get to like multivereses and megaverses and all that stuff.
Battleboards aside, It makes it superhard for me to care about character or anything in that universe when it's always some multiverse level thing.
Also, I don't know if DC ever did this but when Mavel had it's Hickman run and the builders were saying it was Earth's fault and basically like trillions and trillions of beings were dying solely because of our planet and Cap basically said "**** that, we don't care, we are more important"
I know that's not exactly how it went down at all but that was kinda the vibe I got.
