   Those aren’t stichest, the surgeon left a football in his head. That’s why he’s really mad.

   Would there be any reason for them to be recent stitches? Could they have done multiple procedures to fix ongoing or recurring problems? Or maybe it’s trepanation!

   The football is very tempting, but I vote trepanning. In fact, given that the “stitches” seem to be there to keep the incision from healing over, I will actually go out on a limb and claim that brain-eating aliens have been feasting on his grey matter for the last year - at least - and that it has been regenerating because of the Lazurus Pit exposure. Jason is bugshit narwhal because of this experience, or because his brains are still growing out of his ears as we speak.

   (C’mon, you don’t actually believe this “Comics can be fun, really!” dodge can last forever, do you? Jason’s brain exploding out of his head is just one Reality Punch away…)

   Is it possible that it could be a scar? Perhaps poorly-lit?

   No self-respecting surgeon would put in sutures like that. In fact, I think it is physically impossible - the sutures don’t line up.

   I just find it interesting that somebody took the effort to keep shaving his hair where the suture line is.

   Even then, what kind of operation could he have had done? It certainly isn’t a craniotomy, burr holes or a ventricular drain. Must have been a life-threatening skin laceration (don’t laugh, it could be true).
