@Kaiba: I don't think that's quite the definition. That's sort of an example though. As I've always understood it, a retcon is just when the writers of any sort of fiction essentially change what actually already happened in the past (usually as surreptitiously as possible) to accommodate changes to the story. Marvel and DC are guilty of doing it hundreds of times. It's been done to Super Man like a million times to give him all those dumb powers he didn't have originally.

Also I don't think Eggman counts because Sonic never seems to actually kill him. In fact, considering there aren't really any authorities to take him to, I think he maybe just lets him escape. Sure would solve a lot of problems if he did though...
