Xorn is totally confusing. First he's magneto then turns out he's not mageto. Come on Marvel make up your mind.

also Power-girl. Her original origin has been changed 3 or four times the same goes for spider-woman.

also the Phantom stranger.

The origins of Hawkman and Hawkgirl/Hawkwoman are confusing as hell.

I'm still sorta confused (granted I haven't actually read the Johns stuff, just some quick synopses of it), and I think that Brightest Day is kinda making their continuity murky again.

Go read Justice society return of Hawkman it might make more sense. Justice society is an awesome book period.

That's been on my must read list for a while. I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

I think the Brightest Day stuff is pulling it all together nicely. don't know

Xorn was a Grant Morrison invention, so it was bound to get retconned. But yea, don't know much about him.

Phantom Stranger is meant to be mysterious. The biggest clue is that he's The Wandering Jew.

Power Girl's was corrected. She's only had 3. And the 3rd is technically the original.

Yes but anytime you have more than one origin it gets a little confusing. I'm glad that they have neve

I think Marvel has had more confusing characters than DC. Although most of the "big" ones seem to get re-done every decade or so. I remember I was so happy when I was able to make a flow chart of Cable's history. (this was back in the mid-90's) Looking back at that now, WTF? we shouldn't have to do that to understand what's going on in a book!

You made flow chart?! Laughing That's hilariously and awesomely nerdy of you.

Does not say much about his character. That's what always turned me off about the character. It's like, is he like Bishop or...? Also, he spawned all the "one weirdly designed eye"/"I carry impractically large weapons" type of characters.

Xorn wasn't confusing at all. Not more than any other mysterious character, that is. The problem was after Morrison left Marvel and they attempted to ruin the character the best way they could (though Morrison did some wrongs too, with making the original be Magneto in disguise).

The Legion of Super-Heroes is the most confusing team of all. It has so many members and wacky origins, that even the team itself suffered with the most reboots/retcons any other franchise suffered from. I doubt even DC editorial and the team's most loyal fanbase know what's going on with LoSH right now.

Spiderman confuses me, I don't understand why this guy can't pay his rent when all he has to do is break an ATM machine and take the cash. He acts so holier than thou.

All due to various Crises (crisises???). Power Girl got a mention before. You can blame the various Crises for her origin problems too.
