The good thing about fictional comic book stories is that you can retcon, ignore, and never mention again any stories that contradict or stray too far away from a character's original creator and restore the characters back to what their creator originally envisioned them to be.••• Once. But in recent decades there has been an increasing tendency among fans (and worse, fans turned pro) to insist that everything be sacrosanct, even to the point of rendering as canonical concepts that had been no more than ideas not expressed in the books—until somebody decided they werecool. This is where the X-Babies came from, and Wolverine’s bone claws. Sometimes it seems the dumber the idea, the greater the likelihood it will be “preserved”.
