Bad ideas that in retrospect are still bad

umm.. previous scans and even repeated DNa alteration would have made it impossible for lex or supes to be donors.. especially when we know what lex thought about the supe cloning during reign of supermen

lex proved it was possible by doing it.

it was stated that you couldn't clone superman without using another source of DNA to stabilise the genetic structure. Lex used himself.

i wasnt pawned.. and i dont find ur attitude funny..

this is about retcons.. we know as a fact that the original origin for superby had nothing to do with lex nor was his DNA kryptonian..

now if he wants to believe that it wasnt a retcon he can go ahead that doesnt change the actual evidence that it was.

I wasn't trying to make you laugh with my attitude. So I'm relieved that you don't find it funny.

You said "previous scans and even repeated DNa alteration would have made it impossible for lex or supes to be donors.. especially when we know what lex thought about the supe cloning during reign of supermen."

PR replied "lex proved it was possible by doing it."

We can use another word besides pwnd if it helps. innuendur

Anyway, the basis behind a retcon is that characters, origins, histories, etc. change. You may not like it but it happens.

where did i say it wasn't a retcon? It was. It was just a good, necessary one imo.

Yep, there are good retcons, awful retcons and random retcons.

Good retcons are those who are necessary and manage to sort of make sense, at least in a way, Xorn-Magneto being produced by Scarlett Witch is somewhat more acceptable than (here we go to awful) a twin of Xorn saying his twin acted like Magneto for no good reason. Random retcons are what happens to Hawkman every sunday.

the hawkman yrly unexplained retcon is what kon el was infected with.. hawkman needs to be stopped b4 he infects the DCU

Let me start the topic off with my pick:

Superman rocking a mullet was one of the worst ideas ever. Looking at him drawn with that goofy 90s hair one wondered how DC editorial could possibly screw up a character more. And then the Electric Superman happened. In retrospect Superman's mullet seemed an attractive concept when compared to that nonsense.

I'll admit, I still have a laugh whenever I see those old Supes appearances with the mullet. It just looked so... stupid. They should have had scenes like:

- Superman flies past the Daily Planet:
Perry: "Great Caesar's ghost! Are my eyes deceiving me or was Superman rocking a mullet?"
Jimmy: (voice like the burger joint kid on the Simpsons) "I think it looked cool sir!"
- Clark walks in.
Perry: "Good lord Clark! First Superman with the hair and now you too? Has the entire world gone crazy?!?"
Clark: "Just keeping up with the times, Chief!"
Jimmy: "Looking sharp Mister Kent!"

- Later, at the Fortress of Solitude, Superman finishes fitting artificial mullets to his array of Superman robots:
"All done. Now my robots all look as cool as I do..."

I actually preferred the electric Superman just because I knew it was only temporary, and I knew that when he went back to normal the mullet would be going too. Instead of having a scene where Lois says "What happened to your mullet Superman?" and Supes answering "I cut if off Lois. It was stupid."

The idea of Superman painstakingly retrofitting his robots with mullet technology makes me laugh.
