Greetings from /m/, what are /co/'s worst origin retcons? The kind they go "why did you do that?" or just plain rage.

Faggot. It was stupid but to be a Twitter retarded to think that this will have any impact.


From Marvel usually, dozens of villains or are banished DIE and show up later without ANY explanation and acting OOC. Its pretty obvious for anyone that they don't care.

I don't know if it's the worst origin retcon, but all the reveals we've gotten for Wolverine since, oh I don't know, 1992 or so have chipped away at the character's appeal, with each new detail progressively making things worse.

One of the main reasons Wolverine became so popular back in the late 1970s and through the 1980s was the fact that he had the whole mysterious stranger thing going on. It's a classic literary archetype, a sort of empty vessel a reader can pour themselves into,

Doing away with his aura of mystery is the last thing you want to do with that kind of character.

But let's say Marvel just really wanted to give him an official origin, that it was inevitable. Surely we could have gotten something better than the uninspired mess that we got, right?

That wasn't an origin retcon. That was just a terrible regular retcon.

The Metal Men. Changed from being a genius scientist who created a team of sapient robots based on elemental metals to a scientist and his human friends who were converted into robots based on the same metals in an accident. The scientist later was also transformed, but into a robot based on an imaginary metal.
They changed it back because nobody liked it.
