How unsightly. Eww.
1) Yes, I already gave you answers, you just too stubborn to accept
2) Retcons=//= invalidating entire timeline. Multple posters give you many examples to explain this concept to you.

I remember when Donald Blake was shown to have power as a creation of Odin, thus contradicting all of those early tales where he was a wimpy limpy human. Rage was not pleased.Does this retcon mean all of Thor's early stories are moot or invalid? No.
Then they showed that Odin DOESN'T need to sleep to pass his power on to Thor. Another retcon. Again, this doesn't invalidate decades of comics. Rage and Sin....well, raged.
Then Mjolnir melted in the Sun. Thor was burning up etc. No invalidation. That's just a few contradictions - but it doesn't take over ENTIRE storyli, just patches over a couple of things here and there. Thor was still cast down to Earth to learn humility - but he did so in a vessel that had a portion of the Odinforce in it, he still has all of his striking feats with Mjolnir - but Mjolnir was sentient and has the Mother storm in it etc.
That's.....what's happening here with DC, no? It's all canon, EXCEPT for that patches that aren't?
Bottom line (let's not be coy and demure here), for abhi and qwerty, until PreCrisis feats are EXPLICITLY retconned ("he never actually sneezed a planet!"😉 it's canon.

Yeah, I think retcons or writers simply ignore certain elements to tell a story is common in comics. For both Marvel and DC, like your example, and my and abhi Superman origins example, contradictions happen all this time.
I don't remember there are rules that say just because there are contradictions, then the entire era history is invalidated or something
Originally posted by DarkSaint85Pretty much. It's a patchwork of a story where certain newly told elements retcon/outright contradict old stories. 5% is new.
Doesn't mean the other 95% never happened.

What does that has to do with the prime universe timeline being restored, you moron? Multiverse has nothing to do with it.
So what? We have seen even post Crisis retellings of these first meeting, do we discard post Crisis continuity after each retcon? For example Superman birthright and Secret Origin make Cyborg Superman's entire origin (replicating Superman's DNA from his birthing matrix) apocryphal, so that means Cyborg Superman doesn't exists anymore?Why are you so stupid?
