 * The JLA arc featuring the [[Milestone Comics|Milestone characters]] and the female Dr. Light, started off with a monologue by the character used by [[Dwayne McDuffie]] to address [http://marionetteblog.blogspot.com/2006/06/incandescent-losing-light.html recent conflicting appearances] in other titles and attempt to fix the continuity problems that resulted from them.
 ** An extremely similar tactic was used to explain the inconsistencies regarding Thunder's status after she was rendered comatose in ''[[Batman and the Outsiders]]''. It is revealed that she had been "in and out of hospitals" since her accident, explaining how some stories had her out and about while others still had her in a coma.
-* The [[Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew (Comic Book)|Zoo Crew]] were given a horrific fate at the end of their ''Final Ark'' mini-series where the editors ordered the creators to make [[Put on a Bus to Hell|trapped on the main DC Earth as mute ordinary animals]]. It was always intended that they could return in "The Final Ark", but that reappearance turned out to be a very brief and mostly inconsequential cameo. They got restored to normal, but they're still stranded on Main Earth, and their home Earth is still a flooded-out dystopia ruled by Starro. [[Shaggy Dog Story|And who knows what's become of them post-]][[Flashpoint]].

 * [[The Punisher]] began life as a ''[[Spider-Man]]'' villain whose idea of "justice" was "anyone committing any crime eats lead" and went around killing people over things that [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|were not heinous]]. The character as we know him today is actually a [[Retool]] made once [[Darker and Edgier]] came into vogue and it was decided he worked as a dark hero. So what do we do about his early appearances, which have things like him ''shooting a couple for littering, and a driver for running a stop sign when he was fleeing from the shots?'' In the first ''Punisher'' miniseries, it was explained away as Jigsaw arranging for him to be exposed to mind-altering drugs in prison.
 * The ''Titans: Villains For Hire'' one-shot managed to spark racial controversy after the series ended with Ryan Choi, the second [[The Atom|Atom]] being killed and a new Atom series starring Ray Palmer (Choi's white predecessor) being launched during the [[Brightest Day|same flipping event]]. The 2011 DC relaunch completely retconned the events of the story, with Ryan Choi once again retaking the Atom identity in the new ''Justice League'' series and Ray being demoted to a supporting character in another, far more obscure title.

-* There's an apocryphal story stating the [[Useful Notes/Islam|Prophet Muhammad]] once spoke positively of three pagan Meccan goddesses (why is not clear). However (the story goes) Muhammad later recanted these passages, claiming that Satan must have influenced him to say them. The tale lived on in the folklore of many Muslim countries, and the story was transmitted to the West by means of [[Salman Rushdie]]'s ''[[The Satanic Verses]]'', whose title is a reference to the tale.
