Gtrmp, It's true that the Heroes reborn nonsense didn't technically affect the normal Marvel Universe, but you must admit that after they resolved that mess, they changed a lot of things for the remaining characters. Just about every writer was doing his own thing. Many of them were young and didn't care about continuity laid down before they were born. It was mentioned twice (once in Tomb of Dracula #25(1974), King's 1st appearance and in Doctor Strange #62(1983) I think), that King had been a vampire for 5 years. That Journey into Mystery appearance totally contradicts this. I only excuse it because Marv Wolfman wrote that story. After all, he is known for having a poor memory concerning minor details about the characters he created. For example, he seems to think that just because he created Blade, he owns it. What he forgets is that he was working FOR Marvel at the time, so THEY own it. That's why his lawsuit against Marvel was laughed out of court. D-man.
- I agree with your assessment of the period, but I took that part out because the retcon wasn't directly related to Heroes Reborn. After all, worse continuity errors were made before HR, and I believe that HR was actually over by the time this story saw print. -Sean Curtin 00:58, Dec 14, 2004 (UTC)
