Guy Gardner's assholery was once the result of literal brain damage after a faulty power battery blew up in his face, trapping him in the Phantom Zone where he was tortured by Zod for years while watching his girlfriend cuck him with Hal Jordan.
FORGOTTEN LORE
Sinestro has seen Guy's cock. But this is a flashback in a noncanon future. I still wanted to post it though.
That's what I call a dick move.
He's actually seen it multiple times

Remember when they were setting up. Bolphunga the Unrelenting as Guy's rival? That was pretty fun.
His name's not Shy Gardner.
I thought it was because he's ginger
That honestly deserved to get abandoned
Guy Gardner is a liberal arts major in psychology and education and has worked in prison counseling and taught special ed classes.
That’s still canon
Originally a gym teacher, which fit a lot better really.
Guy was a teacher for disabled kids and before Hal ruined his life (twice) Guy was the nicest person ever.
In his first appearance he was only referred to as a phys-ed teacher.
Later on, Guy refered to his job as being a teacher for "very special" children.
I don't remember if the children were physically or mentally disabled, though.
Phys-ed and physical therapy go hand in hand so it would make sense if it were that. He's demonstrating gymnastics on the rings a page later though which requires a certain skill level but it is an event in the Paralympics.
Hal Jordan cucked and has been cucked by every other human GL.
Hal Jordan is a pedophile
Proof?
Ok so there was this one Green Lantern recruit named Arisa who became a Lantern at 14. She had a crush on Hal and her ring sensing this aged her up physically, mentally she was still 14
Hal tried his best to resist her but the pull of technically legal e-boi was too strong
The good news is it gave us probably the best Hal Jordan line of all time
I'm assuming the writer got pushback for this which is why it's even being brought up here.
I'd love to see the letters page for that issue
lasted for 2 years real time
that's right
2 years of hal pedophilia
>Looks like the ringslinger ain’t so goody goody after all
jesus christ hal is disgusting
Pretty sure the 90s vuldarian stuff is along these lines now. It was retconned out off panel and never mentioned again.
Tony Stark died in the 90s. The current Tony Stark is a replacement from a parallel universe. This has, to the best of my knowledge, not been mentioned since.
The current Tony is a clone with digital memories, so nothing new really
Also, the current Mongul is actually Mongul's son. Same thing with Kraven
Rebirth made it that Mongul is a legacy title that's been passed on for millennia. The Mongul we know is probably the two-thousandeth or something. I'm not sure how many times he's been dead and a son has taken his place in the times we've seen him though.
So evil Phantom?
These threads are cool but more often than not full of stuff that everyone already knows by now. Who's got some REALLY deep dives? Like, everyone knows Power Girl was an Atlantean for awhile but what about how MM used to have dozens of secret identities all over the world? That was such an interesting concept.
From the same run, Martian Manhunter was apart of another superhero team before the JLA called Justice Experience under a completely different hero identity, and all save him were murdered by a supervillain called Doctor Trap.
They should do more with that, it's an interesting concept.
I had no idea this dude was still canon. What a deep cut.
>MM used to have dozens of secret identities all over the world? That was such an interesting concept.
Agreed, that series was fantastic.
I always thought it was because of his shitty haircut?
I thought it was because he's a Republican.
He wasn't tortured for years but WAS in a coma when Hal rescued him until he woke up during Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Also, the brain damage shit got retconned in the 90s when Gerald Jones gave him an abusive childhood where his father and older brother basically did a Clarissa on him with Guy being molested by his dad and his brother torturing him to the point that he threatened to frame him for drug possession and send him to jail unless he completely submitted to his monster dad's every whim and will. Which resulted in Guy having a SHIT TON of repressed rage that came out all at once when he woke up from his coma.
robin used to be straight
The relationship with steph is still a thing.
What about powers that characters had that got unceremoniously dropped?
>Moon Knight's moon theme is because he originally gained double his normal strength during full moons only (this was dropped almost immediately)
>Daredevil lost his radar and during Miller's first run and has been operated on echolocation, which Stick trained him to do, ever since (I'm pretty sure every writer after Miller just ignored this)
>Thor originally had a bad leg for no apparent reason (not a "power", but worth mentioning)
Namor used to have all sorts of weird fish powers, like poison darts and electricity.
Batman is actually Bruce Wayne
Is She-Hulk still high/drunk when she's transformed?
Well that was something.
Billy wasn't original Captain Marvel. Billy and the Cap were different people, so when he said shazam, he was replaced by this weird homunculus creature.
Jessica being a part of the Sinestro Corps got immediately forgotten when Dark Crisis rolled in
They also hinted at pairing her with Lyssa Drak in the comic
Venom being a symbiote happened because Todd McFarlane didn't want to draw his black suit
