* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Nicki Jones, the second Jade, was nowhere to be seen in the Peter Milligan series. Being the only other member of Luthor's team besides Natasha and Jacob Colby to have a conscience, it would've been interesting to see how she was dealing with her own trauma. Instead, the fourth member slot is given to new character Lucia who contributed next to nothing to the title before its cancellation.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The Justice Society was completely absent from Peter Milligan's series, despite how heavily offended they were by Lex Luthor stealing the team's name. You would think they'd have something to say about Natasha and Steel using the name yet again and completely removing all connections to the [=JSA=].

* HarsherInHindsight: The poor fan reception to the InNameOnly series written by Peter Milligan, alongside the basic execution of the concept (a preexisting team name being given to completely new characters with no connection to the original premise, inconsistent artwork, poorly fleshed out characters, and problematic storytelling via the handling of mental illness and sexual identity) would repeat itself in a much broader sense years later when DC launched the New 52 and rebooted nearly ''all'' of their titles in a similar manner. It feels as though Milligan's ''Infinity Inc.'' was a preview of what DC fans would get from the ''New 52''.

* DorkAge: Peter Milligan's Infinity Inc. is seen as nothing but one giant BizarroEpisode by fans of the original team and concept, as his version moved even further away from the group's prior conception as the children of the Justice Society. From the inconsistent artwork and problematic storytelling (the way in which Erika Storn is treated as a trans woman was ''never'' going to age well), fans are only thankful that Milligan's run was mercifully cut at only 12 issues.

* UnfortunateImplications: Pretty much every single thing about Erik/Erika Storn's gender identity in the Peter Milligan series was already transphobic by the time the issues were released, and only aged worse as time went on. Storn is viewed as a mentally insane young man whose trauma and anguish manifested as a female alter ego complete with their body physically morphing from male to female. It's even theorized that Erik's earlier identity as Fury manifested the way it did because their claws represented a subconscious desire to commit self castration and remove their penis. While Erik is repeatedly mocked by Gerome [=McKenna=], Erika gets repeatedly objectified and sexually harassed by him. The series treats Erik less like a transgender woman or genderfluid individual and more as someone suffering from a split personality, so basically saying Erik is transgender because they were traumatized and mentally ill.
