[QUOTE="5ekyu, post: 7490902, member: 6919838"] Once you use the words "in the current continuity" you are leaping into "as set in this GMs world" territory. As i recall in Flashpoint Paradox, for instance Robert Wayne and Barry Allen (i think Robert is right) reproduced the sequence to restore - actually bestow- to Barry Allen his flash powers drawing lightning strikes to Barry. That established a different "setting" or "continuity" where lightning can produce these effects - reproducably. For that Flashpoint continuity a player handing in a character background redefining the flash origin as you suggest would be problematic to some degree. Obviously between now and then, the DC GMs have started a new campaign with a similar but different setting. Similarly as i recall the basics of the blade origin - not an expert - its not necessarily a unique one as presented on face value. (They may have added lore to make it unique in some various continuities/campaigns) Just like on face value this daddy-wolf-sex thing doesnt seem to be a case unbelievable to have ever happened before or after to someone else. Each case establishs a process that leads to a result that is not limited to the subject and adds that process to the world. Maybe that fits with the "setting" or "continuity" or maybe it doesnt. Maybe it makes great story or maybe it doesnt. But the "or be a jerk" attitude backing up as an *or else* to "accept my definition of your continuity" just doesnt fit with me as a player role stance/belief/tenet i think adds to the play.
