Not because The Writer was a cruel and horrible supervillain bent on world domination or anything - no, The Writer was simply doing their job, using their superpowered narrative-crafting abilities to manipulate Animal Man's life for the entertainment of comic book readers in our reality. The Writer - whose real name is also Grant Morrison - first appeared on-panel in Animal Man #25*, where they revealed to the titular hero that they were the mastermind behind all of the terrible things that had happened to him and his family. The bald Scotsman is in fact an established DC Comics character called The Writer, who was created by Grant Morrison. The bald Scotsman turns to Gar, and somehow inexplicably notices the green superhero observing him from the Bleed between universes. While traveling through the multiverse, Gar "Beast Boy" Logan happens upon a transdimensional portal that reveals on the other side of it the curious visage of a bald 60-something Scotsman, sketching a map of the multiversity from the comfort of their study. The most recent episode of the Titans TV show - inspired by DC's Teen Titans comic books - featured a particularly surprising cameo.
