The multiple retcons of the Beyonder(s) has always been a mess.

Honestly post crisis supermans origin , hate the sanitized version of krypton

James Runge

Sins past or wonder woman as Zeus's daughter. Was good for some readers but I'll always prefer made from clay. *both so bad they were re-retconed*

Monster Man Alex

Jerry Harding's mustache removal in Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park the Game by Telltale.

Along with the "daughter of Zeus" thing, I generally didn't like the "hardcore xtreem" changes to the Amazons in Azzarello's run. Which is a shame, because I actually liked... the rest of the Azzarello Wonder Woman run. But "the Amazons kidnap and death-by-snu-snu men to create the next generation" misses the WHOLE POINT of the Amazons. Diana is supposed to come from a perfect, idyllic civilization as a harbinger of a better way to organize society. That's been the point of the Amazons since Marston made Wonder Woman, and Themiscyra being a futuristic paradise with magic healing rays and stealth jet technology is part of that. "We advanced farther because we didn't waste time on war and conflict," until the New 52, at least.

I made a big project of reading the entirety of X-Men up through the end of the Claremont era a few years back, and I was surprised to discover I actually hated the resurrection of Jean Grey (turning Phoenix into a separate entity, storing her in a pod below the ocean, etc.). It cheapened the whole Phoenix storyline, and was made worse by the fact that it felt like a cynical move to facilitate the frankly terrible initial handful of issues of X-Factor - which in turn led to Cyclops' character being ruined and a host of additional issues. We take it so much for granted these days, and I knew it was coming, so it was really a bit of a system shock when it left such a foul taste in my mouth. Jean's status ever since has been a bit of a knot, so I feel like we're still dealing with the ramifications of this decision, to boot. That said, if I was trying to be a little more objective, I'd probably have to go with One More Day, the most cynical possible means of achieving a controversial end goal that editorial was too pigheaded to accomplish more organically, or, less internet notoriously, Nightcrawler turning out to actually be the son of a demon, which ruins the entire metaphorical point behind his appearance.

The worst one isn't a comic book one, it is Han Shoots Second. Sins past is way up there for comics. If One More Day qualified I would nominate it.
