Spoilers for the most recent episode of Rick & Morty. Easier to read the post on Reddit.
The latest episode of Rick and Morty gets extremely meta and gives Rick feats well beyond what Cosmic Armor Superman is capable of.
Rick is capable of affecting the meta-canon of the story, inside of the Story Trai.
The train controls canon and non-cano
He fights, and defeats, Story Lord who is trying to use Rick and Morty's energy to break the fifth wall and nearly succeeds before they defeat him.
Story Lord is able to control Narrative Energy, Marketability, Board Appeal, Relatability, and Story Potential as concepts
Stories of the train include stories about the concept of time as well as an Azathoth-esque reality dreamer who erases reality when awakening which Morty caused by shooting him
The Train also contains the Greatest Story Ever Told as well as Jesus Christ himself
Morty is able to break the literal Thematic Seal on the Train by telling a story that passes the Bechdel test
The Trai is literally a literal literary device
Rick and Morty literally breathe continuity as though it were emergency oxyge.
Rick's patented anthology generator will never run out of new stories

Now, I know what you're thinking. "But is this the real Rick and Morty? How literally should we take this?"
The real Rick and Morty meta-fictionally transcend all of that. It's literally just a toy to them they bought at a gift shop.
Clearly, Rick and Morty's level of meta is far beyond most characters due to their meta-feats. I'd argue that due to this they are comparable to or above tier 0 characters like:

or 1-A characters such as:
