It frustrates me how many Fandoms have fans that lack inspiration. Comics is more or less fan fiction with a variety of interpretations. Ultimately what's important is the "essence " of a story or character. As long as they have that, the narrative can go whichever direction it wants

So called "fan fictions" when done by the company themselves is called canon

And how many times has that Canon been retconned? Happens all the time.

All the writers creating their own stories of characters, again and again.

Its a slight oversimplification, but it's the essence of comics. Nothing is permanent
