Has Grant Morrison ever made another appearance though?
I'd argue in any case Kirby and Morrison are different, in the sense Kirby is a construct of a person created by a writer, with the same rules and limits imposed on all frictional character, while Morrison is literally the avatar of the writer of the story. By definition that kind of makes him an apex predator, if limited to the story he writes (And within the confines of company policy).
Originally posted by ODGthat's probably why he mentioned the grant morrison character from animal man specifically (not the version ostrander bastardized later). the writer character from animal man really was as omnipotent as it can get, considering it was basically morrison writing himself into a comic book and controlling its events as the series author.

Originally posted by ODGhe used the grant morrison character from animal man. that's it.
^ Jack Kirby as TOAA was as omnipotent as it can get too... but Thanos: The Infinity Ending kinda threw a wrench into that notion.Are we going to ignore all of the Presence's on-panel shortcomings after Animal Man (and before, mind you) also?
if someone only mentioned the jack kirby avatar from that one f4 issue, i wouldn't assume they meant any other version of toaa but that one.
talking about the presence or toaa in general (all appearances) is a different convo.

Probably 3 then.
Out of all the Endless, she seems to have the most freedom. The Kindly Ones sure seemed intimidated by her. Dreams old girlfriend Thessaly even said while the Endless are bound by rules, Death can pretty much do whatever she wants.
Yeah, that's part of her power, she can see into the future and the past. She showed no fear of Lucifer, and told him she didn't have any intention to kill him, to set him at ease, giving the impression she could if she wanted too, in that particular circumstance, but she knew she was really there for Eliane.
Death knew what was going to happen, and just wanted to chat with the Morningstar for a bit.
