The ridiculous Garth/Proty retcon--Still never made any sense and needlessly tarnished the ADVENTURE COMICS era... 3. Saturn Girl/Cosmic Boy drunken hook-up--Made Imra look pathetic, and Rokk a sex-crazed sleezy creep who would take advantage of a friend... Agree/Disagree?

It kept Garth's sacrifice, and didn't get that much in the way of later appearances. It also launched a few plots such as LiveWire's personality, and links with Validus plague. 3 Barely recall that other than a firm bleh. So agree there. I'd also add Earth Man DC editorial fiefdoms allowing the super-office dictates, and sending Mark Waid to fight the corner. Jan/Erin is going to be up there. Letting Giffen blow up the Earth Oh, that's 4... "...not having to believe in a thing to be interested in it and not having to explain a thing to appreciate the wonder of it."

Turning Kinetix into a generic Deus ex machina (or more generally, how poorly the writers treated her overall) 3. Having Imra repeatedly overstretch her powers (twice in the pre-DnA era, twice after) Interested in the Post-Zero Hour Reboot Legion?
