Thoughts about The Writer

[Jumbods64]

I was just thinking about the most powerful being in the DC universe, The Writer...

At first it would seem impossible for any fictional character to beat them, but what if you reframe it as writer vs. writer? Mario vs. The Writer could just be a Nintendo developer vs. a DC writer in a battle of wits. Then the question becomes if one of a verse's real-life writers can outsmart a DC writer using their own character.

I dunno if that makes sense, but I just wanted to share my thoughts. Feel free to chip in your own thoughts about my musings.

>At first it would seem impossible for any fictional character to beat them,

ARE YOU REALLY SURE ABOUT THAT?

But yeah, seeing a verse as fiction doesn't put you above all fictional characters in any way. It's still ultimately the author's representation in the canon of the verse so he's no different from other supreme beings in this sense.

 

[Jumbods64]

True, true... If seen more literally as the in-canon representation of the real author, then they aren't immune to things... it's basically a self-insert.

Glad to see that you understand. Sorry but I've seen many people try to push Writer to be the strongest character "bcuz he's real", which makes no logical sense whatsoever.

What characters that have a page on any fandom wiki could kill The Writer?

 

[Planck69]

These guys

 

[EnnardTrap1987]

The Writer dies fast to this guy (I'm joking)

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

I think The Architect could possibly kill The Writer.

 

[Planck69]

Why do you think that a High 6-A can beat a Tier 0????

 

[Ican'tthinkof1goodname]

The Architect holds absolute control over the entire Matrix and if the fight is in the Matrix he could delete The Writer.

 

[Planck69]

That's pure NLF. The fact that he caps at High 6-A is proof of that. Do you seriously think the Matrix and its rules mean anything to a guy infinite infinities above a being infinite infinities above beings infinite infinities above beings infinite infinities above Architect?

The Architect couldn't kill The Writer.

He's done some pretty good runs. I liked his work on Flex Mentallo.

 

[Nemo212]

...which DC writer?

...which DC writer?

Grant Morrison, who wrote himself in as 'The Writer.' He had more hair back then.

A beastiamorph could did beat The Writer.
