Respect the Thought Robot (DC)

This is my reason to be.

During the Final Crisis, the Supermen of five universes were called upon to do battle with the evil dark Monitor Mandrakk-- Superman, Captain Marvel, Ultraman, Overman and Captain Adam.

During the group's trip to Limbo, nonuniverse of forgotten concepts, they came under attack. At the same time, Ultraman betrayed them in favor of Mandrakk. Also at the same time, Captain Adam's omniscience-dampening drugs wore off, and he realized what must be done-- Superman and Ultraman must become one.

When the matter Superman and the antimatter Ultraman met, an explosion occurred, merging the two opposites into a single consciousness. The single mind awoke within the body of an enormous suit of armor built by the Monitors, in the world of Nil, home of the Monitors.

Superman's will, luckily, was stronger than Ultraman's, and so he would be the dominant mind in their new form. Together, as the very embodiment of the high concept of Superman itself, they did battle with the Dark Monitor, for the fate of the entire DC multiverse.

It's worth noting that, since the Thought Robot existed in the realm of the Monitors, it's feats were not changed, deleted, or retconned by Flashpoint, and are still technically canon.

Cosmic Senses

• He can actually feel the narrative progressing around him.

• Can hear the reader's breathing. Can feel the reader grabbing the pages of the comic. Note that the original comic was in 3D, so he's actually trying to touch the reader.

• Due to his nature as being on a higher plane than the rest of the multiverse, he can perceive Limbo from the outside.

• Can hear a single heartbeat of Lois Lane, universes away.

• Can perceive the true nature of the Monitors.

• Can hear Mandrakk screaming even as he no longer exists to scream.

Combat Abilities

• Can withstand eyeblasts from Mandrakk.

• His own eyeblasts can blast through Mandrakk.

• Strikes Mandrakk with enough force to create a light visible from miles away, and crumble the very universe upon which they walk.

• Thought Robot Superman's greatest ability, however, is the fact that he embodies the Superman archetype itself. He's literally as strong as he needs to be, because he's Superman, and he has to save the day.
