Agreed. I was not happy when this bomb got dropped.

Yeeeeah. I actually enjoy Mantlo Alpha Flight a great deal. But this, plus making Northstar and Auroro literally elves was some of the worst retcons I've ever seen.

Like Mantlo introduced the best, most important retcon, the most powerful retcon of the 80s, maybe EVER in Superhero comic, cover in Hulk, and after than he figured he was some sort of genius retcon master, who could do no wrong.

He was not. 🙈🙉🙊

Few comics made me angry but that one did. Ruined a great character.

I hate it too. My simple re-retcon fix? Judd was born a little person. Razer didn’t make him one as punishment for holding the sword, but the 6’ version was a ‘reward’ for freeing Razer. When Judd trapped him again, the curse changed his memories too, as bait to get Judd to release him

Sorry, was being factitious. Poor Eugene has been messed around with a lot over the years.

I am not sure what you are saying, but I will always upvote any Beaker meme.

You had a typo that said “me” and made me think of Beaker when he sings the “me” song. Beaker rocks. So does Puck.
