* DracoInLeatherPants:
** Post-Crisis characters are portrayed as genuine heroes incapable of doing wrong, even when they are being rude or obnoxious. Their flaws are ignored or downplayed, and their misdeeds are excused or dismissed as a product of bad writing.
** A good example is "The Trial of Supergirl" storyline: Matrix, Linda and Cir-El are treated as real heroes whose mistakes in no way diminish their heroic status (even though those mistakes include Linda committing several murders), whereas Post-Crisis Kara Zor-El is a dangerous monster and deserves being erased from continuity forever because of her crimes. What are her crimes? According to the strip itself, being a brainless idiot and loving sex.



* RonTheDeathEater:
** Every Pre-Crisis character is a victim of this: their good traits are diminished or ignored, their flaws are aggrandized, and they're portrayed as brainless, sociopathic jerkasses. ComicBook/{{Supergirl}}, [[Franchise/GreenLantern Hal Jordan]]... neither is safe.
** Both Hal Jordan and Cassandra Cain were righteous heroes who were suddenly turned into villains by editorial-mandated, controversial storylines. In [=CassToons=], Hal is treated as a psychopathic murderer who was easily and undeservedly forgiven, whereas Cass is regarded as a pitiable victim of bad writing.
** In ''ComicBook/WayOfTheWorld'', Kara Zor-El futilely attempts to find a cure for cancer. Her dialogue and thought bubbles make repeatedly clear that her goal is to save a little kid's life. According to one [=CassToons=] strip, though, she wants to cure cancer because she is a glory-hogging AttentionWhore who wants to become famous.

* HarsherInHindsight / HilariousInHindsight: Far too many to even list.
* MisaimedFandom: One strip blames the cancellation of Supergirl's fourth book on "some old-school fans who hated Linda". In reality, DC pulled the plug on the book due to low sales: it was always a low seller, and sales only picked up [[ComicBook/ManyHappyReturns when the original Kara Zor-El made an appearance]]. Earth Angel Linda was put on a bus because Supergirl's backstory and identity had become too convoluted, not because Dan Didio is an old-school fan (he is not).

* OlderThanTheyThink: When Supergirl gets a creative team who depicts her properly, Cass claims DC is trying to "make Kara more like Linda without actually being Linda". However, Linda Danvers (Earth Angel) was per Word Of God ''specifically'' created to be Linda Danvers (Kara Zor-El) without being actually the original Linda.
