Maxwell Lord went through one of the most severe retcons I've seen in DC and I'm saddened that DC has decided to stick to this decision instead of acknowledging that, at this point in Rebirth, the character of Maxwell Lord is barely recognizable. I'm not particularly hoping for DC to one day try to deal with his character's history, but if there was any possibility, I wish someone would write a redemption for Max (not a second retcon or a "he was possessed/mind controlled/a clone/etc the whole time!" because those would be the easy way out) in a mature and interesting manner that acknowledges Max's history with the JLI and the fact that he had developed back then into a genuinely good man (to an extent).
Founded by girl geeks and members of the slash fandom, scans_daily strives to provide an atmosphere which is LGBTQ-friendly, anti-racist, anti-ableist, woman-friendly and otherwise discrimination and harassment free.
Bottom line: If slash, feminism or anti-oppressive practice makes you react negatively, scans_daily is probably not for you.
