One character that stands out for me is THE QUESTION. Created by Steve Ditko with a very conservative Ayn Rand philosophy, I cn't imagine Ditko is pleased at all with the left-wing Zen-Bhuddist direction O'Neil took the chacter in with the 1987-1991 series.
Similar, but different.
The Question's character wasn't gutted and left in the dust for the sake of selling the franchise "The Question". It was because Denny O'neil was uncomfortable with the premise.
It's the exact same thing Morrison wanted to do to Rorschach: "I love this character! And that's why I'm going to redefine him".
