Actually my least favorite bit of retro-fitting came from DC.  It was when
they decided to explain why no one ever noticed how much Clark Kent looked
like Superman.  The explanation said the Supes subconciously hypnotized people
into thinking the Clark was frail.  Give me a break guys!  I can remember at
least 4 times that Lois Lane (THE most fickle girl in the entire comics
universe!  I mean that girl will go for any man in tights that can lift a tank)
fell in love with Clark Kent look alikes ("Why, I've never seen Clark so manly.
I always liked him, but now I think I could love him...")

Alright, I know that it is old news, but it REALLY bothered me.
