Multiple-Choice Past	comment	Have you noticed that some characters have different origins when different people are writing the story? Sometimes this is done on purpose, to give an air of Unreliable Narrator. Sometimes it's caused by repeated retcons. Sometimes it's just because the writers got it wrong, sometimes the result of a deliberate retcon, rewrite or by creators Armed with Canon. This trope is particularly common in comic books, as a single character may be written by dozens of writers over their history. Sometimes, as evidenced in the Trope Namer, it is also done in order to depict the character giving their backstory as being too insane to give a true account of their past, believing every single account they gave about themselves; or to cultivate an air of personal mystery, a common play by a Consummate Liar. Having messed-up memories due to a case of Laser-Guided Amnesia that isn't so laser-guided, Trauma-Induced Amnesia, and/or implantation of Fake Memories also works just fine. Video Games occasionally invoke this as part of a starting conversation to decide what your basic character build will be like, which may be the first part of Story Branching. Other games make you play through one of several origin levels before the story proper begins — this is known as Multiple Game Openings. Along with multiple authors, this is a feature of the earliest recorded myths, making it Older Than Dirt. Compare Broad Strokes, Comic-Book Time, Continuity Snarl, Depending on the Writer, Expansion Pack Past, Negative Continuity, SchrÃ¶dinger's Question, and Origins Episode. Sounds similar to but has nothing to do with Multiple-Choice Future. Examples subpages: Comic Books Video Games

Multiple-Choice Past / int_117116ef	comment	A running gag in The Penguins of Madagascar involves Manfredi and Johnson, two penguins that Skipper continually cites as examples of what could happen if someone doesn't follow his orders. Almost all of these wildly different stories imply their deaths, and the other penguins will corroborate them, so what actually happened is difficult to determine. The fact that they are seen alive (but not well) in the finale only raises further questions.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_17bdfffe	comment	An odd case is the main character of This Immortal by Roger Zelazny, who time and again tells some different story about himself. The novel opens with Conrad/Konstatin's new wife finding out he's not twenty-something like she is, he's around eighty. Then other characters wonder if he's somehow connected to other Greeks named Konstantin, each with one brown eye and one blue eye, who happen to be even older, one of whom was a world-famous terrorist. Then more characters come into the story, and they have their own stories about his past. He's hundreds of years old, has never physically aged past 23, and he was every one of these people. Either confusing pasts was a theme with Zelazny, or he just had trouble making up his mind when he was writing a story: the Chronicles of Amber involves dozens of "histories" for Corwin, and he spends much of the series trying to unravel which ones are true. (Adding to the confusion: Corwin is immortal, he can travel to as many worlds as he wants, there are "shadows" of him in a lot of those worlds, and he has about 15 siblings with similar powers who all lie and scheme and plot.) Zelazny's Lord of Light mentions a woman who was Sam's "mother or daughter or wife, or perhaps all three," which seems tricky even with reincarnation. However, this turns out to be foreshadowing of the fact that the same woman, in three different bodies, may have ended up being all three to Yama. As Durga, she was of the correct generation to be Yama's mother; as Kali, she was Yama's wife; and, at the end, as the mentally damaged Murga, she is his adopted daughter.

Explanations that they gave involved it being a particularly coherent string found in the results of a Monkeys on a Typewriter experiment; that it was the mascot of a defunct football team, Walford Town; that it was derived from the chanting of African street musicians that two of the band members overheard while busking in Paris; or that one of the band members had a dream in which they needed to use the bathroom and weren't sure which one to enter because one bathroom was marked "chumba" and the other "wamba". Eventually they conceded that it doesn't mean anything and they just wanted something that would never become dated, and what better way to avoid tying yourself to a particular era than to name yourself utter gibberish?

Multiple-Choice Past / int_261c8d3f	comment	The Simpsons not only has a multiple choice past for pretty much every character, but even a multiple choice future. As the show exists in a floating timeline however, this is pretty much unavoidable. Heck, one of the show's flashback episodes was set throughout the 90s... the decade which started right along with the show itself. Talk about trippy. One of those multiple choice futures takes place... in 2010. Kind of weird to think about, since Maggie was now born in 2013. This trope was originally supposed to be played straight for the origins of Herman's (the fellow who runs Springfield's military surplus store Herman's Military Antiques) missing arm, but this idea was dropped after his first appearance (to this day, he's only told us that he lost his arm when he stuck it out the window of a moving school bus, though Abe says it was because he stuck it out on a street trying to hail a car and it got torn off by a passing dogcatcher truck driven by Chief Wiggum). The series had multiple explanations for why Homer lost his hair including having torn out his hair after finding out Marge was pregnant and as a side effect from an army experiment he participated in to avoid dinner with Marge's sisters. Similarly, the show has posited several explanations of Homer's stupidity. A short list includes a crayon lodged in his brain, genetics (the Simpson gene), and repeated cranial trauma. Bart's issues compared to Lisa are variously attributed to the aforementioned genetics, emotional trauma at the hands of his kindergarten teacher, alcohol intake during and after his conception, ADHD, Marge bottle-feeding Bart and breastfeeding Lisa, Bart's intelligence having been stunted by a kid's educational show while Lisa was distracted playing with the DVD packaging, and even Marge constantly listening to KISS while pregnant. note (The last is at least implied to be more of a worry on Marge's part than something the audience should take seriously, as Chief Wiggum reassures her that his wife dutifully listened to Mozart and Winston Churchhill speeches while pregnant and still got Ralph...who, on the other hand, appears to have suffered from Childhood Brain Damage after Wiggum dropped him.) According to "Boy Meets Curl", Lisa's signature pearl necklace was a gift from Marge to celebrate her learning to read at a twelfth-grade level, while in "How Lisa Got Her Marge Back", Marge gave it to her on her first day of school. Most episodes before and since then depict Lisa as having worn the necklace since she was a baby. Marge's red necklace is, according to "Homer the Vigilante", a "priceless Bouvier family heirloom" (as are all the identical ones in her drawer), while in "Adventures in Baby-Getting", Homer bought it for her using money he earned by donating sperm. Maggie's pacifier-sucking habit: "And Maggie Makes Three" shows her grabbing one off a table and popping it in her mouth moments after being born, while "Mr. Lisa's Opus" has her developing the addiction instantly upon a desperate Marge giving her one to deal with her early colic. The boat painting hanging over the family's TV is said to have been painted by Marge in "The Trouble with Trillions" and by Lisa in "Barthood" (though Lisa herself derides it as a "derivative amateur seascape" in the Couch Gag of "The Cad and the Hat"); other episodes, such as "Diatribe of a Mad Housewife", treat it as an outside purchase, with its value ranging anywhere from the family having a closet full of identical replacements ready to go ("Homer and Ned's Hail Mary Pass") to its destruction being seen as a loss and the family searching garage sales for an affordable substitute while implying that the original was more expensive ("The War of Art"). Two different episodes in the same season ("The Musk Who Fell to Earth" and "The Kids are All Fight") imply, respectively, that Bart and Homer named Maggie. Principal Skinner's had several different stories about how he became a POW during the Vietnam War and his time during his imprisonment. In addition, "The Principal and the Pauper" claims he was actually a street thug named Armin who got swapped with the real Seymour Skinner during the war, but this was retconned by a later episode showing Mrs. Skinner pregnant with him. Grandpa Simpson is a Scatterbrained Senior notorious for his nonsensical, historically impossible autobiographical stories, meaning he wouldn't be a credible source of information on his early life even if the series had actual continuity. He has had flashbacks showing him in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. When called on this, he said that this sort of confusion was common when he was in the Marines. In "Havana Wild Weekend", Marge describes him as "a veteran of every branch of the service". Mr. Burns has this in spades, primarily due to his Vague Age being drawn out to absurd lengths (it was once implied he was born in Pangaea); thus, his backstory has wavered quite a bit (i.e., sometimes he had poor parents, but other times he had rich parents; he's shown fighting in the US Army in World War II alongside Abe Simpson, but other episodes show he worked with the Nazis, etc.).

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2777c062	comment	Captain Peacock from Are You Being Served? could never quite keep straight his stories of just what he did in World War II. The most likely story, however, is that he was in the Royal Army Service Corps — the logistics division (he says it when pressed about it, and wears the RASC tie throughout the series). Important work, but not front-line combat. Mr. Goldberg, however, offered a different story — he and 'Corporal Peacock' served together in a cushy job in the cookhouse for most of the war. Had Goldberg been fired, we might even have seen the photo to prove it.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2a842e3a	comment	Doctor Who Expanded Universe: In the Past Doctor Adventures novel The Infinity Doctors, the Doctor meets four Knights at the end of the universe, who don't remember their pasts but who each have a separate theory as to who they are: the last surviving Thals; a group of human/Gallifreyan hybrids; the only People of the Worldsphere who didn't Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence; or the High Evolutionaries. Since a couple of these theories involve Alternate Continuities to the BBC books, this may be interpreted to give the entire Whoniverse a Multiple Choice Past. In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Sometime Never one of the Council of Eight, a group of antagonistic beings who resemble the eight Doctors, absorbs the Doctor's personality and flees in a timeship with the Doctor's granddaughter Zezanne. If you take the view (popular at the time but thoroughly contradicted later) that Gallifrey was Ret-Gone thanks to the EDAs' Story Arc, this provides an alternate origin for the First Doctor and Susan. Unnatural History suggests that the Doctor's many contradictory origins — being loomed, having parents, being half-human, coming from the 49th century, etc. — could all be true. This caused considerable debate at the time. Irving Braxiatel is first implied to be the Doctor's brother in the post-Doctor Bernice Summerfield New Adventures novel Tears of the Oracle, representing yet another version of the Doctor's origins, as he's unaccounted for either in Lungbarrow or the novels' implied backstory about the Doctor's parents (derived from an unproduced pre-TV Movie film script). He can be reconciled with them, but as noted elsewhere, that's not really the point.

Since the series is set when Bruce Wayne had yet to become Batman or face any of his iconic adversaries, the Joker doesn't actually exist yet, but Word of God is that one of the apparent Canon Foreigners will eventually become him... but we don't know which one. Is it the nameless comedian at Fish Mooney's club? Fish's own bodyguard, Butch? The murderous circus kid who can't stop laughing? Or even just some random kid who put on a discarded red hood? In later seasons, there is an even more unique variation on this. Jerome Valeska (the laughing mad circus kid), goes full-on monster clown by the time he escapes from Arkham in Season 2, and is the Joker in all but name from Seasons 2 to 4. However, at the end of Season 4, it is revealed that he has an identical twin brother, Jeremiah, who appears to be his good counterpart until Jerome dies and drives his brother mad with laughing gas to get revenge on him, turning him into the show's true version of the Joker.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2ae911a3	comment	There are two conflicting accounts of the Amazons' origins, both of which have issues. One, presented in White Dwarf 307, has it that they were favored servants of the Old Ones, created to be their undying servants and left behind to guard the sacred places when Chaos came and the Old Ones vanished. This version conflicts with the Lizardmen's claims to the same status, which are backed by their eldest members having personal memories of this origin. The other, also from White Dwarf as well as the Lizardmen 5th Edition codex, has them as a cadre of Norse warrior women who left Skeggi behind over an ideological conflict with the Norse men, who wanted them to Stay in the Kitchen, and settled the Amaxon river, where they took to using jungle drugs to extend their lifespans and armed themselves with stolen Lizardman artifacts. This fails to account for there being encounters with the Amazons recorded long before Skeggi existed. One possible solution claims that the Skeggi women were not the original Amazons, but were instead inducted into the preexisting Amazon culture to bolster its fading numbers.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2b70efd4	comment	There's also the Rasputin situation. Numerous historical characters were written into the Old World of Darkness. Two different writers used Rasputin as a character, not knowing about the other's use of him, and their versions had two different backstories. When this discrepancy was pointed out, the company decided to run with it. Several writers began using Rasputin as a character, giving him a different backstory each time. These multiple versions of Rasputin became one of the unsolved mysteries of the original World of Darkness, though Wraith: The Oblivion tried to reconcile them by saying that Rasputin is actually a body-hopping wraith who likes possessing various supernaturals, while Vampire: The Masquerade suggested the Rasputins know about their other versions, seeing themselves as "brothers", and that there's a terrible truth behind them.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2c2a56e3	comment	Similarly there were two conflicting origins for the design of the Battle Droids in the Prequels. Most supplementary material released around the time of The Phantom Menace claimed they were based on skeletons of the Neimoidians with the heads being specifically a result of their skulls changing shape after they die due to their Bizarre Alien Biology. However, Attack of the Clones clearly shows they actually based on their Geonosian builders. The Essential Guide To Warfare decided to Take a Third Option saying that they were modeled after the Geonosians, but the Neimoidian skull idea was also true and what they thought was the inspiration.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2c9df9c5	comment	Then you have characters like Unicron. Originally, he was a random planet-eating Transformer with no backstory (until the cartoon claimed he was made by an ancient space monkey). Then Simon Furman's run on the The Transformers (Marvel) turned him into a godlike Satanic archetype opposed by a being named Primus; this interpretation caught on more in later adaptations than the original Primacron story. However, Unicron (as well as a few other legendary figures) was once established as a "multiversal singularity", which basically means that every depiction of him across the franchise was the same individual... before the concept was done away with almost a decade later and every iteration of him became a different individual with a different past. Does your brain hurt yet?

(Answers include: it being a name passed down from generations, him coming from a circus family who wanted his act to be him fighting a bear despite being five years old, being called that by a voodoo woman, being a child actor who was called "bear" due to being cranky, but eventually softened and became "Poo Bear"...)

Multiple-Choice Past / int_2fe9c4b0	comment	The character of John Black from Days of Our Lives. Originally, he was introduced as a guy with Identity Amnesia who'd undergone Magic Plastic Surgery as the apparent captive of a Big Bad. He escaped and took the name John Black from a sign on a wall. It was eventually revealed he was the Not Quite Dead Roman Brady and that was the role the actor was billed as for many years and lived through his "wife's" "death". Then they decided to bring back he original Roman/Marlena super couple, so it was revealed that "Roman" wasn't the real deal after all and went back to calling himself John Black. In the years since, he's had it revealed that he'd been a cop, private investigator, and a priest in his past. There have been at least two separate revelations about who his birth parents are. The current origin puts him as a cousin of some sort to Roman Brady and also related to the Big Bad. In the meantime, Wayne Northrop, the original Roman left the show again after a short time. That role was recast in a case of The Other Darrin and now played by someone who'd previously played a different role on the show. Then Northrop came back again in a completely different role.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_309df9ea	comment	Doctor Insano, enemy of Linkara and Spoony is this trope. He has so many multiple origins, including ones where he's Spoony from future, where he's Canadian science geek Wayne Schlumper, and where he was a woman before Linkara punched the fabric of The Multiverse, that when people tried to put it together in any continuity, Word of God said there's no continuity. There is only Insano. (So far he's been a failed clone of Spoony, from the future, a different person, the same person but not somehow (left unexplained), and an alternate personality that was given up "in the past". All of these origins are equally canonical.) In CR's overview of Insano, he theorizes that there's really three of them — one a time-travel duplicate generated by Time Compression who violently tries to kill Spoony, one a clone made by Linkara who lives with Spoony and is more friendly, and the alternate personality. He finishes by guessing that Original Spoony also had an Insano persona, and thus there could be a fourth, Black Lantern Insano as well. According to To Boldly Flee, Insano and Spoony have always been separate people, and Spoony's ability to transform into Insano in Kickassia was a temporal anomaly retroactively caused by the Plot Hole. Of course, this is just yet another alternate backstory.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_400469e	comment	Calvin and Hobbes: In the first strip, Calvin catches Hobbes in a rope trap and this is treated like their first meeting, but the cartoonist later changed his mind and decided that it was now unknown when they met. Hobbes once claimed that Calvin spent most of his infancy burping and spitting up, hinting that they knew each other since Calvin was a baby. Seeing as Hobbes might be just an Imaginary Friend, it's possible that Calvin simply imagined Hobbes knowing about his infancy, though. Calvin's dad invokes this by telling conflicting lies about where Calvin came from. In one strip, he claims he and his wife bought him from Kmart, in another he says that Calvin was delivered by a pterodactyl, and in a third, he tells the truth (that Calvin grew in his mother's tummy).

The Foundation itself according to SCP-001 propositions. In fact, according to the article, it's possible that two or more of the different stories are true at the same time. Also, there are at least three different origins for the Chaos Insurgency. SCP-106 has three origin stories: "The Young Man" suggests he was once a Corporal in the British Army in World War One; "Once But Not Now" suggests he is the last survivor of a race of inter-dimensional predators who preyed on humans since prehistoric times, he is trapped in a confusing and terrifying prison and it is implied he will soon die and render his species extinct; "Until Death" suggests he is what Dr. Robert Scranton eventually turned into. SCP-682 gets a new origin practically every time it appears, being everything from a child of the Scarlet King to the Anthropomorphic Personification of a state between life and death to the mount of the Horseman of Death to a projection of a higher-dimensional being to a human rendered immortal by dark rituals to simply a very strange form of wildlife.

Originally the human daughter of Pastoria, she later claimed to be descended of the fairy lineage of Lurline. This creates confusion with her species. Is Ozma human, half-human/half-fairy, or fairy? Furthermore, The Marvelous Land of Oz claims that her father was the king of Oz, but was overthrown by the Wizard, who kidnapped baby Ozma and gave her to the witch Mombi. But after the Wizard's villainous deeds got negative backlash from readers, Baum retconned it in the next book, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, so that Ozma's grandfather was kidnapped by Mombi, leaving Oz with no ruler until the Wizard arrived, and both her father and she were born and raised as Mombi's slaves. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, when the Tin Woodman was human, his sweetheart was a servant to a lazy old woman, who bribed the Wicked Witch of the East to get rid of him for her. In The Tin Woodman of Oz, she was a servant to the Wicked Witch herself.

The central tenet is simply the Rule of Scary. This extends to Slendy's origin story. If it comes up it will completely contradict another story's idea of it. This is probably the reason most stories avoid giving Slender Man a definitive origin (that and to avoid a Voodoo Shark). Marble Hornets season two features the protagonist doing this (badly). Jay goes through three contradictory stories explaining his presence in the hotel to Jessica, much to her confusion, and, eventually, disbelief. The real answer, of course, is that he doesn't remember. And Jessica doesn't remember how she got there either. The Slender Man fic By the Fire's Light features an origin for the Slender Man that might only be retroactively true since people in-story believe it. Whether the Slender Man existed before this in its current form in-story is left up to debate.

David Bowie himself stated he believed Jareth was someone who "inherited" his position rather than being a born king and played him as such.

This is at odds with "The Good Old Days" showing in a flashback that the last time Timmy's parents let his grandfather Pappy look after him while they left the house rather than Vicky was when Timmy was an infant and the first part of Wishology having Timmy bring up that he's had a crush on Trixie since they were in kindergarten.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_691be369	comment	Writers on The X-Files generally did a good job to keep the back-stories consistent, regarding what Mulder and Scully did before they started working on the X-Files and their family background, except when the ambiguity was the point. However, there was one deliberate change that did not please fans. Dana Scully's gold cross necklace, a frequent Tragic Keepsake and the symbol of her faith, has two possible origins. In Season 2 episode "Ascension", Mrs Scully says she gave it to Dana on her fifteenth birthday, and Season 5 episode "Christmas Carol" shows in flashback that teenage Dana and her sister Melissa both get their crosses for Christmas. The writers said they had known about the change, but they simply couldn't resist to use it in their Christmas Episode.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Various examples throughout the history of Dungeons & Dragons: Done with the entire species of illithids (aka Mind Flayers). One of the earlier versions says that they're mutants outcast from a long-gone human society in the Astromundi crystal sphere (solar system). Another version puts them as emerging when parasites from "the Outside" entered the game's reality and began bonding with and mutating humanoids, and went on to rule an interstellar empire millennia ago which has since fallen. An old Dragon magazine article depicts them as invaders from an alternate Prime Material Plane, trying to reshape whatever world your characters are from in the image of their homeworld. A later version says they're from the future and traveled back in time to escape a nameless enemy that was destroying them, and to prepare better for that enemy while in the past. It's ultimately left up to the Game Master to decide which of these is the "truth," or if perhaps they're all successive layers of lies used to disguise the illithids' origins and that the latest retcon is just another lie. However, in the 4th Edition rules, Mind Flayers are once again from the Far Realm — beyond the borders of the universe. This certainty may be only because there haven't been enough years into the new edition to let their webs of deceit get fully developed yet, however. An interesting but ultimately unrelated note on the time-traveling origin: A person can still take "Heritage" feats, special character options that indicate one's bloodline co-mingles with that of the relevant race/species (Fey Heritage, Draconic Heritage, etc) for Illithids. For most heritage feats, this implies an ancestry speckled with Interspecies Romance. However, in this case Illithid Heritage actually means you're actually one of the ancestors of the Illithid bloodlines. An issue of Dragon had an "Illithid Bloodline" feat, but it stated that the bloodline didn't come from illithids themselves. Rather, it came from escaped slaves who were experimented upon by the illithids. A clever storyteller might decide the two possibilities aren't mutually exclusive... The game's 4th Edition default setting Nentir Vale does this with pretty much all of the deities. Fairly justified; they've been around for so long that the details of their origins are wrapped up in legends. Notably, Asmodeus has been given probably the most information on his origins, most of them being at least somewhat contradictory. And then there's the Raven Queen. Depending on what you look at, she's a True Neutral goddess of death as part of the life cycle, an evil former consort of Nerull who overthrew him to gain his title as God of the Dead and now plots to destroy the other Gods so she can gain that title that she believes is rightfully hers rather than her lesser title of Goddess of Death, or a selfish and power-hungry goddess that epitomizes the reason True Neutral is now Unaligned. Nobody truly knows where Gas Spores came from, though since they resemble Beholders to a startling degree, the prevailing theory is that they came from parasitic fungi that fed on the corpses of Beholders and were changed by the latent magic of the aberrations. However, other theories posit that they were created on purpose by beholder mages, illithids or even myconids.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_6c9193a1	comment	The Venture Brothers gives several varying explanations for both the origin of Phantom Limb and how Billy Quizboy ended up with a robotic hand, with the Monarch's being the most plausiblenote they were roommates in college who developed an experimental muscle growth accelerator to heal PL's deformed limbs. Unfortunately the machine malfunctioned and "accelerated [PL's limbs] beyond the speed of light" giving him his powers while Billy lost his arm trying to turn the machine off. When Dr. Venture finally asks him about it, point blank, Billy merely replies "Excellent question. I have no idea." They later gave them both a definite past. The Monarch's version, while not complete, did get most of the facts rightnote Phantom Limb was Billy's professor, not roommate and the latter had already lost his arm to a rabid pitbull prior to the incident). The comment about him not knowing ended up becoming a Cerebus Retcon because of this. Turns out he doesn't remember because OSI wiped his memory. When Billy learns of the deception, he rather suitably flips the fuck out.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_70814599	comment	In Stargate SG-1, Jack O'Neill's backstory throughout most of the series was that he was ex-Special Ops, and O'Neill wore a master parachutist's badge and later a space and missile operations badge on his dress uniform but never pilot's wings, but in an episode of Season 8, Samantha Carter pointed out that he used to be a test pilot. This is likely an ass-pull by the writers, but given that he did pilot some experimental aircraft and that this backstory was never mentioned again, and that the only occasion when the viewers find out anything about O'Neill's background is when someone else mentions it, it's possible that Carter herself was mistaken. Also, Vala's past. She was brought up on a nice planet with a conventional life (and fiancÃ©) until she was chosen by Qetesh, OR she was sold to a weapons dealer and killed him to earn her freedom, OR she was brought up by her bitchy stepmother and conman father, and also how many times was she married? Vala is a habitual liar and loves to tell fanciful stories (especially in her earlier appearances, before her character development). The only things we know for sure is that she really was host to Qetesh at some point in her past, and she really does have a conman father. Beyond that, we may never know.

He's also shown listening to Woodhouse read a telegram from Malory about Operation Ajax in 1953, which would make him 15, but he looks younger than that, and "Once Bitten" states he was six when Malory was involved in the CIA-backed Guatamalan coup d'Ã©tat, which took place in 1954, which would place Archer's birthdate in 1948.

But after the Wizard's villainous deeds got negative backlash from readers, Baum retconned it in the next book, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, so that Ozma's grandfather was kidnapped by Mombi, leaving Oz with no ruler until the Wizard arrived, and both her father and she were born and raised as Mombi's slaves.

Star Trek: Voyager says that the Borg's own memory of their beginning is fuzzy as well. The Star Trek Expanded Universe has produced many mutually contradictory origin stories for them: The Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek: Legacy say that they were spawned by V'ger, while Star Trek: The Manga and the Star Trek: Destiny novel trilogy each tell of different alien species accidentally creating them as a means of survival. Doctor Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine had about four different stories explaining how he first realized he wanted to be a doctor as a child (either he was inspired to become one after repairing his childhood teddy bearnote The bear at least was real and he still keeps it in his quarters, he became a doctor to get over his fear of doctors, he was pressured to go to med school by his parents, or he went to med school after becoming a professional athlete didn't work out). This was later explained as a result of him trying to hide his actual origin story — he received illegal genetic enhancements as a child. Garak also had a Multiple Choice Past. The second-season episode "The Wire" had him confess to three different, contradictory stories about why he's on the station, all of which are proven to be false (it's also not the only time he "explains" why he was exiled, and none of those stories hold water either). At the end of the episode, Bashir confronts him about it, only to have Garak declare that they were all true. The only thing in the series that is confirmed to be true about Garak's past is that he is the illegitimate sone of Enabran Tain, former head of the Obsidian Order. The non-canon book A Stitch in Time has Garak remember his childhood and the real reason he was exiled, while walking through the ruins of Cardassia. He killed a high-level official, who caught Garak with his wife (all three went to school together). Interestingly, his boss and father Enabran Tain actually ordered the assassination, but it was the semi-public way Garak did it that got him kicked out of the Obsidian Order.

In Werewolf: The Apocalypse, pretty much everything regarding the how and why of the War of Rage, the creation story of the Triat, and the birth of the were-races are told from the point of view of a member of whichever race the book you're reading is about, and so every version is from an Unreliable Narrator. Similarly with Vampire: The Masquerade, which isn't surprising, given the Kindred raise Unreliable Narrator to an artform. The primary account of vampire origins is the story of Caine, and it's the one that's treated as essentially true by the setting. But there's no consistent account of what happened after Caine became a vampire, how many of the Second and Third Generations there actually were, or how each of the clans came to be — not to mention that some clans, like the Ravnos and Setites, have versions of their origins that say they arose independently of Caine. Beckett's Jyhad Diary throws in what the Laibon, the African vampires, have to say on the subject, holding that vampires have been around as long as humans, and that Caine, though historically significant, was not the first vampire. One Laibon NPC says he cursed himself with vampirism, rather than being Embraced by another. There's also the Rasputin situation. Numerous historical characters were written into the Old World of Darkness. Two different writers used Rasputin as a character, not knowing about the other's use of him, and their versions had two different backstories. When this discrepancy was pointed out, the company decided to run with it. Several writers began using Rasputin as a character, giving him a different backstory each time. These multiple versions of Rasputin became one of the unsolved mysteries of the original World of Darkness, though Wraith: The Oblivion tried to reconcile them by saying that Rasputin is actually a body-hopping wraith who likes possessing various supernaturals, while Vampire: The Masquerade suggested the Rasputins know about their other versions, seeing themselves as "brothers", and that there's a terrible truth behind them.

I was 12.", "I definitely would have gone to my reunion, but the boat I was educated on sank.", etc.). If you try to compile them all together, they form a weird, somewhat contradictory, and definitely horrific image. The inconsistencies about Kenneth's past were turned into a Running Gag about him secretly being a long-lived immortal. Lampshaded in Pete's case:

Or was it Bevel Lemelisk? Eventually the novel Death Star was released to sort things out. Short Answer, the creator was all of the above. Long Answer, the Death Star was a merger of two different concepts. The first was for a mobile planetoid (with a superlaser) made by Sinear that Tarkin presented to Palpatine as his own concept. The second was for an ultimate weapon developed by the Geonosians for Count Dooku. The Geos brought Lemelisk to fix some design problems and he would go on help built the final product.

While he constantly seems to be a former cop who somehow survived the apocalypse, all the other details seem to shift from appearance to appearance. Did he have a wife and son who survived at first but were later killed, or a wife and daughter who he didn't see after the end? Why does his prized Pursuit Special get stolen and destroyed once in almost every story? The given explanation is that these stories we see are actually wasteland legends told by various narrators, not accurate descriptions of what occured.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_8e8a801	comment	The Lion King: Scar has two Start of Darkness stories officially: His original story, as revealed in the licensed books A Tale Of Two Brothers, is that he was originally named "Taka". Taka resented the fact his father Ahadi chose his older brother to be the future king and not him. Mufasa was deemed the better choice because he understood the responsibilities needed while Taka was selfish and had too large of a temper. Taka tried to get his brother in trouble by getting a buffalo to attack him. One of the buffalos in the herd instead attacked Taka, giving him a permanent scar. His second origin story comes from The Lion Guard animated series. He was the previous owner of an incredibly powerful, magical roar ability and was the leader of the Lion Guard. The power went to his head and he ended up killing the other members of The Lion Guard. Due to this his powers were taken away, however he kept his hunger for power. Timon's and Pumbaa's pasts are different between The Lion King 1 Â½ and Timon & Pumbaa. The former is likely the canon interpretation as it is more in-line with the films compared to the Denser and Wackier series.

Except that "Wrecks, Lies, and Videotape", "Tee for Two", "Goof Troop Christmas", and "Tub Be or Not Tub Be" all suggest that Max and PJ have always known each other. The backstory is irrelevant to most things except for the nature of Max and PJ's relationship—namely, the first backstory provides an explanation for PJ's Undying Loyalty towards Max; the second does not. This can be a little jarring considering "Tub Be or Not Tub Be" supports the second backstory and features an undyingly loyal PJ and a relatively unsympathetic Max.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_972907cf	comment	Spacegodzilla was either created by Godzilla's DNA from Biollante being sucked into a black hole after she (Biollante, not Godzilla) went into spore-form and drifted into outer space, OR when Godzilla's cells that somehow got onto Mothra were carried into outer space by said giant moth and were pulled into a black hole. And, depending on if you count the toys, the DNA may or may not have fused with a crystalline alien creature after falling through the black hole. Baragon (a monster that's relatively obscure in the US but rather popular in Japan) is either the last survivor of a species of ancient reptile or some sort of demigod depending on if you watch either Frankenstein Conquers the World or Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack!. King Ghidorah and Mechagodzilla tend to have different origins due to the various continuities. Ghidorah is either an Ax-Crazy space dragon who wipes out entire planets including either Venus or Mars (depending on if you are watching the dub or original) For the Evulz, a trio of genetically-engineered pets planted on the island where Godzilla was mutated by a group of time traveling aliens, a space dragon that wiped out all life on Earth 130 million years ago and had a relative that killed the dinosaurs, an immature Yamato no Orochi, a monster trapped in a meteor that Godzilla stopped from destroying the Earth or an extra-dimensional Planet Eater. Meanwhile Mechagodzilla is either a robotic doppelganger built by a race of evil aliens in an attempt to Take Over the World, a robot built by Japan (and the US) to fight Godzilla using future tech recovered from Mecha-King Ghidorah, or a cyborg built to fight Godzilla using the skeleton of the original Godzilla as a frame, or an abandoned prototype intended to fight Godzilla Earth that didn't activate and is assimilating the Earth from the titular city Godzilla himself is subject to this due to many a Continuity Reboot. So far he has been a dinosaur of unknown species that was mutated by an American nuclear test in the Pacific in the 50s, a fictional species of dinosaur mutated by a nuclear test before time travel led to him being mutated by a crashed Russian submarine in the Bering Sea, the original Godzilla who was never killed, the original Godzilla's body possessed by the souls of the people killed during the Pacific Theater of WWII, a Marine Iguana mutated by nuclear testing in French Polynesia, note until Toho made it a separate monster at least a prehistoric reptile from a time period when Earth was covered in radiation re-awakened by US nuclear testing in the 50s which then changed their focus to try to kill him, a sea monster mutated by nuclear waste dumped into the ocean in the 50s, and a plant-animal hybrid with metal skin — with three separate potential origins. Similarly, there's Godzilla's Alternate Company Equivalent Gamera. Is he an ordinary turtle mutated by pollution? A cyborg planetary defense weapon created by a lost civilization? A prehistoric reptile that inspired Xuanwu the turtle god from Chinese Mythology? An actual turtle god? Even in the films where Gamera's backstory about being an Atlantean cyborg is consistent, his Arch-Enemy Gyaos, whom the Atlanteans created Gamera to fight, gets it even worse. He's either another Atlantean creation that turned against them, or part of a race of aliens that plan to devour the Earth. Or both.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire has a lot of this thanks to that world's history mostly being based on legends. In-universe Sam made a game attempt to figure out the true history of the Night Watch, only to find out the organization had hit Legend Fades to Myth status centuries before anyone bothered to invent writing. It doesn't help that many myths have been updated with anachronisms, such as knights running around in the legendary era before the Andals invaded and made knights a thing in Westeros. The Heroic Bastard Jon Snow's origin is the subject of conflicting theories in-universe, with his father Lord Ned Stark telling King Robert that his mother's name was Wylla (a wetnurse in service to House Dayne), yet Ned's wife Catelyn heard a rumor that Jon's mother was Lady Ashara Dayne, which Ned reacted to violently, and Queen Cersei believes this to be the case. Later, Ser Davos Seaworth is told a completely different tale by a Northern lord, in which Jon's mother was a fisherman's daughter who smuggled Ned to safety during Robert's Rebellion. Out-of-universe, many readers suspect that this is all misdirection and Jon is the son of Ned's late sister Lady Lyanna and the late Prince Rhaegar (who either abducted or eloped with her, depending on which character you listen to), which is confirmed as the truth in the TV adaptation Game of Thrones. The books proper claim that House Lannister are descendants of Lann the Clever who is from the Age of Heroes. The appendices claim that they are Andals.

The tabletop game said he's on Earth as a result of cult rituals. The 1992 annual said he was the ghost of an obese man who remembers nothing about his life except the desire to eat. In the 2017 annual, the Ghostbusters suggest multiple theories, some of which are references to the above: a chef at the hotel who suffered a fatal heart attack on the job, a vagrant, an Anthropomorphic Personification of gluttony summoned by the Gozerian cult, and Venkman's gag suggestion he was a king.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_a8729c90	comment	The Fairly OddParents! has several instances of characters having multiple backstories that contradict each other. Timmy's mom and dad have several different versions of how they met. When it was first shown in "Father Time", it was stated that they began dating as kids and became a couple when Mr. Turner gave her a trophy he won. "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker" instead established that Mrs. Turner dated Dinkleberg until college, when Mr. Turner got her on the rebound. Other episodes say they met through a "threatmantic" letter ("Information Stupor Highway") or that Mrs. Turner met Mr. Turner in the sporting goods department (which she tells Timmy in "Who's Your Daddy?") It is established in Abra-Catastrophe! that Timmy was stuck at home with his parents for the first eight years of his life. This is at odds with "The Good Old Days" showing in a flashback that the last time Timmy's parents let his grandfather Pappy look after him while they left the house rather than Vicky was when Timmy was an infant and the first part of Wishology having Timmy bring up that he's had a crush on Trixie since they were in kindergarten. Mr. Crocker's origin as revealed in the appropriately titled "The Secret Origin of Denzel Crocker" is that he used to have Timmy's fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda as his fairy godparents when he was a kid, but lost them and therefore grew up to become the insane and ill-tempered adult we know him as because his fairy godparents' existence was inadvertently revealed to the public by Cosmo (as well as a time-traveling Timmy). This is contradicted by "Birthday Bashed" showing young Crocker with a different set of fairy godparents who left him when he became too old to have fairies and "Let Sleeper Dogs Lie" once again depicting him with Cosmo and Wanda as his godparents (in addition to having Sparky when he was a puppy), losing them this time because they had to leave him on his 11th birthday. In-universe, comic book hero The Crimson Chin has two origin stories. One, described in the show, is that he was a talk show host bitten on the chin by a radioactive actor. Then, in a Nickelodeon Magazine comic involving Timmy following the Crimson Chin's Rogues Gallery through different incarnations of the comic, they eventually go to an origin story where he was an alien sent to Earth as a baby. Cosmo expresses confusion at this, bringing up the radioactive actor origin, which Timmy says is a Retcon that they had to come up with invoked"after the lawsuit".

Multiple-Choice Past / int_a944b4bb	comment	Tolkien's Legendarium: J. R. R. Tolkien never managed to come up with a satisfactory backstory for the Orcs; he had created them so his bad guys had some Always Chaotic Evil mooks, but this clashed with his Catholic beliefs that no free willed being could be pure evil. Origins for the Orcs include: corrupted Elves (featured in the published Silmarillion), corrupted Men (although this doesn't fit the timeline), intelligent animals (Contradictory to The Cirith Ungol chapter of Return of the King) or simply primitive tribes. Also true of Galadriel and Celeborn â€” Unfinished Tales gives multiple drafts of their history that Tolkien wrote, with no clear chronology to tell us which version is the latest (and presumably most authoritative, though some versions cause other continuity problems) and with more notes that suggest Tolkien was planning on revising it again before the publication of The Silmarillion. We don't even know whether Celeborn was a Sindarin or Telerin elf, or whether Galadriel was actually part of FÃ«anor's rebellion or just went along because she wanted to carve out her own kingdom in Middle-Earth. And those are some pretty major differences. Tolkien seems to have gone back and forth a few times on the issue of whether the Eagles and Huan were lesser Maiar, or regular animals uplifted by the influence of the Valar. Gil-Galad is an infamous version of this regards to his parentage. He was at various times, a descendant of FÃ«anor, the son of Finrod Felagund, the son of Fingon (the version the published Silmarillion went with), or a son of Orodeth. Christopher Tolkien has admited that given the tangle he should have left his parentage ambiguous. Celebrimbor was established as the grandson of FÃ«anor in The Lord of the Rings, but Tolkien apparently forgot this and came up with two new backstories in his later writings where he was either a Telerin silversmith who accompanied Celeborn from Aman or a Sindar descendant of Daeron. Often repeated is some variant of: "Of this matter two things are said, the truth of which is known only to the Wise Ones who are gone .Â .Â .Â ."

Multiple-Choice Past / int_a9cb14fc	comment	The origin story for Strahd von Zarovich, the Ravenloft setting's most iconic villain, has been recounted in two novels, four to six adventures (depending on whether or not updates count), and dozens of fragmentary anecdotes throughout the product line. Not only do they contradict one another in numerous details, but it's openly acknowledged that many such accounts are propaganda and that Strahd himself probably doesn't remember (or want to remember) the truth anymore. Plus, there's a completely separate and irreconcilable version of Strahd in Ravenloft II: The House on Gryphon Hill that even the publishers wrote off as a Riddle for the Ages.

However, this turns out to be foreshadowing of the fact that the same woman, in three different bodies, may have ended up being all three to Yama. As Durga, she was of the correct generation to be Yama's mother; as Kali, she was Yama's wife; and, at the end, as the mentally damaged Murga, she is his adopted daughter.

Details such as the origin of the Krusty Krab, Patrick's family background, and how Sandy came to Bikini Bottom will vary from episode to episode. The most notable example is the relationship between Mr. Krabs and Plankton. Though earlier episodes had implied that they met as adults and were rivals from the onset, "Friend or Foe" later Retconned this to having met as kids and been friends until an argument over the formula split them apart. This version of events then became one of the few things set in stone whenever the topic came up in future episodes. There are also many versions on how Mr. Krabs got the Krabby Patty Secret Formula: one has him tell it was an old Krabs family recipe, the other as passed to him from his grandmother, an entire episode showing that his then-friend-now-enemy accidentally made it, and so on and so forth...

Multiple-Choice Past / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000: The God-Emperor has had a number of official backstories over the years. Originally he was created by a group of incredibly powerful shamans in the year 8,000 BC. Newer versions keep the 8,000 BC date but drop the shamans. Then there's the possibility that the Emperor was actually born in the Age of Strife (26,000 AD or so). The current backstory, and Horus Heresy series of novels, mention all of the above (with the second being what he told Horus), but have him intentionally obscuring the issue even before ten thousand years of conflicting dogma. Primarch Alpharius as befitting to a character that thrives on secrecy and mind-games has five different origin stories. All of them are lies, but all have a grain of truth... Or so we are told. He also has three stories of his death, and no one knows which (if any) of them is true. It's made more complicated by the fact that he has a Backup Twin, whose fate is similarly mysterious, and thousands of body doubles. As a means of explaining some of the changes that the C'tan have gone through over the course of the various editions of the game, the 8th Edition Codex: Necrons mentions that the in-universe knowledge of the C'tan is often fragmentary and contradictory, with even the records held by the Aeldari in the Black Library, on UlthwÃ© and on Alaitoc being unable to agree on hard facts. Nobody knows where the Legion of the Damned comes from, but in-universe, the prevailing theory is that they are the remains of the Fire Hawks Chapter, who were declared lost in the Warp in 983.M41, with the Bell of Lost Souls being rung a thousand times for them. Sightings of the Legion stretch back to before the Fire Hawks vanished, but since time does not necessarily flow in a linear fashion in the Warp, this is not proof against the Legion being the Fire Hawks.

Depending on who's telling the story, he could have been a high priest who invented human sacrifice or the first bureaucrat to invent tyranny. Less sinister portrayals state he was a great scientist who tried to spread the light of knowledge. He also may have founded the Illuminati, may have personally caused the destruction of Atlantis, and may either have been friends with the more-sympathetically remembered Lilith Velkor or ordered her execution. The Dealy Lama, who asserts he is Gruad surviving to the modern day, says he created most of these stories himself and the truth is fairly mundane, but taking anyone's claims at face value in this book is unwise.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: The origins of Voland, the leader of a notorious mercenary company, are the subject of wild theorizing, due in large part to him keeping a tight lid on the subject. The more sedate speculations assume him to be a disgraced noble from the Empire, some believe him to be the Emperor's bastard son, and the wilder theories include one where he's the child of the Fay Enchantress of Bretonnia and a one-pig named Eric. There are two conflicting accounts of the Amazons' origins, both of which have issues. One, presented in White Dwarf 307, has it that they were favored servants of the Old Ones, created to be their undying servants and left behind to guard the sacred places when Chaos came and the Old Ones vanished. This version conflicts with the Lizardmen's claims to the same status, which are backed by their eldest members having personal memories of this origin. The other, also from White Dwarf as well as the Lizardmen 5th Edition codex, has them as a cadre of Norse warrior women who left Skeggi behind over an ideological conflict with the Norse men, who wanted them to Stay in the Kitchen, and settled the Amaxon river, where they took to using jungle drugs to extend their lifespans and armed themselves with stolen Lizardman artifacts. This fails to account for there being encounters with the Amazons recorded long before Skeggi existed. One possible solution claims that the Skeggi women were not the original Amazons, but were instead inducted into the preexisting Amazon culture to bolster its fading numbers.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_c0d98c1f	comment	Rotted Capes, probably unintentionally, has some of this in its backstory. It's generally consistent that the turning point in the zombie apocalypse was when the setting's main hero team, the Protectors, were overrun by the entire audience of hundreds of newly-turned undead at an outbreak in a music hall. In the story text at the beginning of the book, they were defeated because of a surprise attack from the Titan, basically the setting's equivalent to Superman, because he'd become an evil zombie. Other tellings in the same book, including the version on Titan's own character sheet, say it was the other way around, where the Protectors being zombified was what led to Titan's own transformation to the undead, because before then there weren't zombies powerful enough to hurt Titan and make him vulnerable to the bite-transmitted virus.

In episode 36 Maria is shot while running in the halls and survives to give Shadow a speech but episode 38 shows Maria lying on the floor already shot and then delivering the speech. Episode 37 has a completely different flashback, from the POV of Maria's killer, that shows Maria was shot right as she sent Shadow down to Earth (and with no dramatic speech either). The room also differs in each flashback. This is all chalked down to Shadow's memory being tampered with and his memory just being unclear after 50 years in stasis.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_c43df4d8	comment	Doctor Who: The Doctor has multiple conflicting backstories, due in part to the evolving nature of the show. They might be from the 49th century ("An Unearthly Child" pilot), they might be a child born into privilege ("The Deadly Assassin") or from apparent poverty ("Listen"), they might have learned spiritual lessons from Time Lord hermits on the hill where they lived ("The Time Monster") or have been raised in the metropolis of the Capitol ("Invasion of Time"), have been woven as a young adult on a genetic loom, incorporating the biodata of the Other, an enigmatic Gallifreyan founding figure ("Lungbarrow") or been born half-human (the TV Movie), they might have had multiple incarnations before the First Doctor ("The Brain of Morbius", "Cold Fusion"), might have abandoned their family ("An Unearthly Child") or have some sort of relationship with their mother ("The End of Time"), might have built the TARDIS themself ("The Chase") or stolen it ("The War Games"), and their madness might originate from a childhood visit from Clara ("Listen"), staring into the Time Vortex as a child ("Utopia") or political issues forcing them to escape, with the time travel itself causing their madness along the way (audio drama "The Beginning" and the Gallifrey series). They could also be an adopted being possibly from another universe known as "The Timeless Child" who was used as the source of the early Gallifreyans' ability to regenerate, enabling them to become the Time Lords, and may have lived enough lives for all of these backstories to be true without them even knowing it entirely. ("The Timeless Children"). Sometimes they even have a Multiple Choice Future where they enounter what might be later regenerations (besides the ones that actually are), further evidenced with the Shrouded in Myth bi-generation process allowing more than one present version of them to co-exist in separate bodies ("The Giggle"). Some of these are reconcilable, others aren't, and overall the show doesn't care about nailing the character down like that, as it's not really the point. Then there are the ones from the Sixties when the Doctor being a Time Lord hadn't been established yet, and which suggest rather different takes on their people - they might be something disguised as an Earth creature ("The Daleks' Master Plan"), they might be more than human due to too much time travel ("The Evil of the Daleks"), their regeneration might be a property of the TARDIS rather than an innate ability ("The Power of the Daleks"), etc. There's also the "all of the above" option: "Unnatural History" proposes that the Doctor has multiple pasts in-universe as their timeline changes behind them, observing that trying to establish a single consistent origin isn't really what matters about them, they're not something to be contained like that, indeed perhaps they enjoy that they can't be easily figured out. For a short time in the Eighth Doctor Adventures there were two versions of the Third Doctor's regeneration into the Fourth (the Reset Button eventually got hit, restoring the original regeneration). Susan, the Doctor's granddaughter, receives this to a lesser extent, primarily as a result of expanded universe stories desexualising Gallifrey/the Doctor — if she isn't the Doctor's granddaughter, then she might be the Other's granddaughter, and thus the Doctor's via reincarnation ("Lungbarrow"), an orphaned descendant of Rassilon ("Birth of a Renegade"), the daughter of a Time Lord President ("A Brief History of Time Lords"), or perhaps the Doctor's granddaughter from a previous regeneration cycle ("Cold Fusion"). Doctor Who has explained away the creation of the Daleks in four different ways. Once in their debut story "The Daleks" (which didn't actually show it), a second time in a spin-off comic The Dalek Chronicles (which didn't contradict the first origin story), a third time in the short story We Are The Daleks! written by Terry Nation (which claimed that the Daleks were a future offshoot of humanity brought into existence early by Ancient Astronauts who transplanted them to another planetâ€¦ yeah, everybody ignores that one) and finally in "Genesis of the Daleks".Terry Nation wrote a book in the late '80s that reconciled "The Daleks" with "Genesis of the Daleks." Basically, the Daleks in "The Daleks" were a prototype Davros made before "Genesis of the Daleks." Their city was an experiment to see if Daleks could function autonomously. After he left them alone and got buried in rubble in the Kaled/Thal genocide, those Daleks wrote Davros out of their official history, preferring to ignore the fact that an "inferior" being had created them. The series explained in "The Three Doctors" that Omega created the Time Lords by creating a black hole artificially. "The Deadly Assassin" says Rassilon did it. Later stories have reconciled the two explanations (Rassilon and Omega were partners; Omega did the actual testing and got sucked into the black hole, Rassilon brought home the results). Averted in New Who with the Cybermen: an alternative origin story, in which the Cybermen are invented on Earth by a wealthy human attempting to prevent his own death, is set in an alternate universe. The Mondas Cybermen don't show up until 2010 (not counting the museum piece in "Dalek"). In the 2017 series finale, the Doctor claims the various origins of the Cybermen across the show's media are actually a case of "parallel evolution". They're all true, as the Cybermen will come into being wherever the right technology exists. The Expanded Universe proposes two Mondasian origins for the Cybermen: Alan Barnes's Doctor Who Magazine backup strip "The Cybermen" has them beginning as cyber-augmented ape servants of Mondas's native Silurians, while Marc Platt's Big Finish Doctor Who audio "Spare Parts" has Mondas's native humans transform themselves into Cybermen in order to survive. In author commentary, Barnes has suggested it's possible that Cyber-civilisation has risen and fallen on Mondas multiple times, including "The Cybermen", "Spare Parts", and a scenario resembling Gerry Davis's unmade TV proposal "Genesis of the Cybermen". Amy Pond complains to the Doctor in the short "Good Night" that she can remember two different pasts, one in which she was raised by her aunt and had "never had parents," and another in which she'd "always had parents" who raised her. Unusually, the Doctor points out, and Amy agrees, that it's all fine, that there's no problem caused by having two incompatible pasts — although Amy feels like there should be. She is, in fact, remembering an alternate timeline that actually happened, but then the entire universe got rebooted.

There have also been stories of Chris forming NSYNC after not making the Backstreet lineup, which Chris has refuted. The "official" story as told in VH1's Driven series is that Pearlman approached Chris after seeing him perform with The Hollywood Hi-Tones. Pearlman also claimed JC Chasez had once worked for him as a personal assistant. The common narrative states Justin was the second member to be recruited, and then JC, followed by Joey Fatone.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_ce50887e	comment	Dragon Ball: The backstory of the Saiyan race was uncertain and contradictory for some time. Were they native to Planet Plant (later renamed Vegeta) or did they travel there from somewhere else? Did they coexist with the Tuffles for a long time or did war break out between the two races immediately? What provoked said war: King Vegeta's ambitions to rule the planet, or Tuffles treating Saiyans as lesser beings? Some of these questions would be answered in time; for example, it's now known that the Saiyans were originally from a planet called Sadala, but its destruction in a civil war forced the survivors to seek a new homeworld. The explanation for the destruction of Planet Vegeta also fell into this. Raditz told Goku that it was destroyed by an asteroid, while in the anime, King Kai claimed that another Guardian summoned a storm of space debris to destroy it as punishment for the Saiyans' warmongering ways. It's later revealed that neither of these claims are correct; in reality, Frieza blew it up out of fear that the Saiyans would eventually produce a fighter powerful enough to challenge him and made up the "asteroid" story to prevent the surviving Saiyans from turning against him, and it's implied that King Kai was lying to Goku to keep him from seeking a confrontation with Frieza.

Superiors: Rogues to Riches presents three possible and mutually exclusive origin stories for him — a Fallen Mercurian once in Litheroy's service, who now seeks to undo the work of the Archangel of Revelation; a former Balseraph of the Game sent to capture the real Alaemon, who has been pretending to be his mark to hide the fact that he let him get killed; and an extremely deep-cover agent for Heaven — each of which would explain why his life is ruled by secrets and paranoia. Even his Superior when he was a common demon isn't certain — he likely worked for Asmodeus, but it might just as well have been Malphas or Kronos.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_d4efb984	comment	The Golden Girls tended to have extended families that varied over the years. Blanche seemed especially vulnerable to this. She was the middle of three sisters, then a gay brother appeared. She had three sons and a daughter, but two different daughters were named during the show's run. It is also unclear whether or not she was faithful to her husband George — one episode says yes, another says no. And don't anyone ask her age. Sophia also liked to make up preposterous stories about her past ("Picture it..."). These were played for laughs, usually inserting herself into trysts and feuds with famous people, and were (mostly?) made up.

Operation: Z.E.R.O. retconned this, instead making him the cowardly, disgruntled brother of the eponymous legendary operative. He's also revealed to be Numbuh One's Evil Uncle (and by proxy, this makes Sector Z/The Delight Children from Down the Lane his adoptive cousins and Grandfather his actual grandfather), as Numbuh Zero is Numbuh One's Bumbling Dad after a case of Laser-Guided Amnesia.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_d861bfb	comment	The Infinite Loops makes this trope kind of enforced: a part of the way the Loops work is that anything that wasn't explicitly stated in Baseline (i.e., a series' canon) is "Loop Variable", meaning it changes from one loop to the next; consequently, characters with a Mysterious Past will find that past being completely altered every Loop, which can be extremely disorienting for Awake Loopers. Cinder Fall was driven temporarily insane by having her past and motivations constantly changing, since her canon backstory wasn't revealed until eight-years into the show's run. Her fellow Remnant Loopers Ozpin, Torchwick, and Neo all suffered from this as well before their pasts "firmed up", but she was hit the hardest.

Fairly justified; they've been around for so long that the details of their origins are wrapped up in legends. Notably, Asmodeus has been given probably the most information on his origins, most of them being at least somewhat contradictory. And then there's the Raven Queen. Depending on what you look at, she's a True Neutral goddess of death as part of the life cycle, an evil former consort of Nerull who overthrew him to gain his title as God of the Dead and now plots to destroy the other Gods so she can gain that title that she believes is rightfully hers rather than her lesser title of Goddess of Death, or a selfish and power-hungry goddess that epitomizes the reason True Neutral is now Unaligned.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends has two separate origins for General Grevious. The original origin was that he was Kaleesh warlord who was rebuilt as a cyborg by the Separatist after a shuttle crash and agreed to lead the Separatist droid army in exchange for his homeworld's protection against attacks by the Kaleesh Arch-Enemy the Huk and hated the Jedi due to Separatist brain tampering and their refusal to help his people. However, George Lucas instead viewed Grevious as a Jedi-wannabe who wasn't force-sensitive and gradually added cybernetic components to improve himself. Having respect for the Expanded Universe, Dave Filoni had the Star Wars: The Clone Wars episode "Lair Of Grevious" only hint at the latter origin keeping things ambiguous. This technique was also done in The Essential Guide To Warfare where the author had two in-universe historians arguing over the two origins. The Offical Star Wars Fact File would later make a reference to Grevious surviving an assassination attempt indicating the original origin is the canon one again. On a more minor note is the Death Star or more specifically who created it. Was it Raith Sinear? Was it Tarkin? Was it the Geonosians? Or was it Bevel Lemelisk? Eventually the novel Death Star was released to sort things out. Short Answer, the creator was all of the above. Long Answer, the Death Star was a merger of two different concepts. The first was for a mobile planetoid (with a superlaser) made by Sinear that Tarkin presented to Palpatine as his own concept. The second was for an ultimate weapon developed by the Geonosians for Count Dooku. The Geos brought Lemelisk to fix some design problems and he would go on help built the final product. Similarly there were two conflicting origins for the design of the Battle Droids in the Prequels. Most supplementary material released around the time of The Phantom Menace claimed they were based on skeletons of the Neimoidians with the heads being specifically a result of their skulls changing shape after they die due to their Bizarre Alien Biology. However, Attack of the Clones clearly shows they actually based on their Geonosian builders. The Essential Guide To Warfare decided to Take a Third Option saying that they were modeled after the Geonosians, but the Neimoidian skull idea was also true and what they thought was the inspiration.

According to a supplementary book, said hometown is located in the San'in Region of Japan. However, when the compilation movies changed the course of the White Base, it was moved to Prince Rupert, Canada instead. In the Alternate Continuity manga Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, the course of White Base was changed yet again, putting Amuro's hometown in Rosarito, Mexico. To add to the confusion, the manga's author Yoshizaku Yasuhiko stated in an interview that Amuro was actually born in Tottori Prefecture, Japan.

It's later revealed that neither of these claims are correct; in reality, Frieza blew it up out of fear that the Saiyans would eventually produce a fighter powerful enough to challenge him and made up the "asteroid" story to prevent the surviving Saiyans from turning against him, and it's implied that King Kai was lying to Goku to keep him from seeking a confrontation with Frieza.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_f00d733b	comment	New World of Darkness: Multiple explanations are given for several aspects of the game world so that the Storyteller may pick and choose which ones she likes. In Changeling: The Lost, for example, there are several possible reasons for why the Gentry may kidnap humans and how the True Fae come to be: Their existence in Arcadia was actually totally devoid of emotion or nuance until they experienced the Glamour from human proximity, Or they're actually constructs of wild magic and chaotic emotions, and exposure to humans gave them sentience, OR they're actually what remains of the mages who climbed the Celestial Ladder and entered the Supernal Realm, but their imperfect human desires ran amok and destroyed their humanity. Or they're latecomers to Arcadia of unknown origin, and will one day leave. Even if one (or more) of the above are true, it didn't explain how there could be so many of the True Fae until you read the supplement book that says that Changelings who reach Wyrd 10 and Clarity 0 are likely to become True Fae themselves. So far, we have two separate explanations for The Tunguska Event: a Promethean tried to summon an arch-qashmal, or one of the Knights of St. George tried to summon a Faceless Angel. Or that those are actually two versions of the same story... And then there's Atlantis. Atlantis could have been a real ancient city ruled by mages, or it could be an allegory made real by the minds of Awakened souls, or it could be a far-future event whose collapse was felt eons in the past. The sourcebook mentions that some members of the Free Council believe Atlantis is a lie that the other factions made up to justify their dominance. And the Uratha have so many tales of lost Pangaea it's not worth sorting here. Also, in contrast with the Old World of Darkness, where they had a defined and known origin, vampires in the New World of Darkness have long forgotten exactly how they came to be, meaning each faction has its own ideas of their origin. (Indeed, there's a fair case to be made that vampires have multiple origins.) Was the first Frankenstein created by Victor Frankenstein, as in the original novel, or was he created by Mary Shelley and John Polidori from the remains of the last of the previous choler-aspected Lineage, the Amirani? Dark Eras Companion explicitly brings up this trope in a sidebar, declaring it's up to the Storyteller to decide the circumstances around the Frankensteins' creation. On a similar note, did the first Zeka start being created in 1945, beginning with the Trinity bomb test, or did they originate before that?

Multiple-Choice Past / int_fb2991d8	comment	On Justified: City Primeval, Clement Mansell and Sandy Stanton have identified the Albanian Skender Lulgjuraj as a potential mark to steal money from. In "Backstabbers," Clement tells Skender that if his mother hadn't been carried away by a tornado, they'd be having this meeting in Lawton, Oklahoma. When Sandy asks how he's never told him this, he says it was a day like any other in which his mother was slaving away, hanging wash on the line, a pot on the stove inside. Then the wind picked up and the sky turned dark and ugly. They next thing they knew, she was above the fruited plain, teams of hounds out searching for her, but never found a trace. Later on in the season, in "The Smoking Gun," he tells his attorney Carolyn Wilder the same story, except in this version, he says his mother was indisposed because this is what people do, they let you down. He waited for the man in her bed to leave, not "the first asshole from Glenn Pool to be in her bed, but he was the last." After his car disappeared down the dirt road, he took his .22 and shot his mother in the throat because the last thing he wanted her to see before he told her to close her eyes tight and pulled the trigger was her son's face. He then tells Carolyn that maybe this story is just bull and that a tornado carried her away. Given everything else seen of him in the series, though, he probably did actually kill her.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_fb9c177d	comment	Transformers: Given that continuity in Transformers is, well, pretty tangled, Multiple Choice Canon is more of a rule rather than an exception, meaning aspects like the origins of the Transformer race differ between franchises and even series within said franchises (e.g. the G1 cartoon claims the Quintessons made the Transformers, while the concurrent Marvel comic established the godlike Primus as their creator). Then you have characters like Unicron. Originally, he was a random planet-eating Transformer with no backstory (until the cartoon claimed he was made by an ancient space monkey). Then Simon Furman's run on the The Transformers (Marvel) turned him into a godlike Satanic archetype opposed by a being named Primus; this interpretation caught on more in later adaptations than the original Primacron story. However, Unicron (as well as a few other legendary figures) was once established as a "multiversal singularity", which basically means that every depiction of him across the franchise was the same individual... before the concept was done away with almost a decade later and every iteration of him became a different individual with a different past. Does your brain hurt yet? The Dinobots are also known for various origins on if they where pre-existing Autobots or not and how they got their namesake Dinosaur modes. The original cartoon explained they were built by Wheeljack and Ratchet based on fossils found in the Autobot base. The Marvel Comics said they were an existing subgroup of Autobots who were on the Ark and were given their Dinosaur modes by the ship's computer to fight Shockwave in the Savage Land note Yes, that Savage Land - Marvel Comics was known to perform Canon Welding with their licensed works at the time. with the dinosaurs inspiring their beast modes. GI Joe Vs The Transformers Marvel has the Dinobots being Autobots being sent back in time and given their Dinosaur modes to fit into the past. Spotlight: Shockwave reveals the Dynobots were Autobots with a personal grudge against the titular Decepticon scientist who tracked him down to prehistoric Earth and adopted Dinosaur modes to protect from the Energon Radiation. That's just for the G1 incarnations of the group. The Beast Machines toyline had the Dinobots as a group of Maximals reformatted by The Oracle with their Dinosaur modes coming from the fact The Oracle used Dinobot's spark. Transformers: Animated had them as Dinosaur animatronics turned into attack drones by Megatron then accidentally becoming self-aware thanks to the Allspark Key. Transformers: Fall of Cybertron had them be Autobots who were captured and given their Dinosaur modes by Shockwave based on his observations of prehistoric Earth. Transformers: Age of Extinction had them being the ancestors of modern Cybertronians who based their Alternative Modes on Earth's Dinosaurs. Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015) had them being a subspecies of Tranformers who had the modes naturally similar to the Insecticons of Transformers: Prime.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_ff66c30e	comment	The first three Muppet films gave completely irreconcilable versions of how the Muppets came together and became stars. (The first one has a Framing Story that calls it "approximately how it happened", and both it and the sequel reminds us all the way through that this is just a movie). The Muppet Movie establishes that Kermit went on a journey to Hollywood in dreams of becoming a star, meeting Fozzie and the others along the way. The Great Muppet Caper had Kermit and Fozzie portrayed as identical twin brothers working for a newspaper along with Gonzo and the three investigating the theft of jewels belonging to Lady Holiday. After the flight to England, Kermit meets Miss Piggy and is initially misled into thinking she is Lady Holiday, with the rest of the Muppet cast met at the Happiness Hotel. The Muppets Take Manhattan establishes that Kermit, Fozzie, Miss Piggy, Rowlf, Gonzo, Camilla, Scooter, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Zoot, Animal and Janice went to the same college and aspired to put on a Broadway show shortly after they graduated.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_ff88dcf9	comment	The Doctor has multiple conflicting backstories, due in part to the evolving nature of the show. They might be from the 49th century ("An Unearthly Child" pilot), they might be a child born into privilege ("The Deadly Assassin") or from apparent poverty ("Listen"), they might have learned spiritual lessons from Time Lord hermits on the hill where they lived ("The Time Monster") or have been raised in the metropolis of the Capitol ("Invasion of Time"), have been woven as a young adult on a genetic loom, incorporating the biodata of the Other, an enigmatic Gallifreyan founding figure ("Lungbarrow") or been born half-human (the TV Movie), they might have had multiple incarnations before the First Doctor ("The Brain of Morbius", "Cold Fusion"), might have abandoned their family ("An Unearthly Child") or have some sort of relationship with their mother ("The End of Time"), might have built the TARDIS themself ("The Chase") or stolen it ("The War Games"), and their madness might originate from a childhood visit from Clara ("Listen"), staring into the Time Vortex as a child ("Utopia") or political issues forcing them to escape, with the time travel itself causing their madness along the way (audio drama "The Beginning" and the Gallifrey series). They could also be an adopted being possibly from another universe known as "The Timeless Child" who was used as the source of the early Gallifreyans' ability to regenerate, enabling them to become the Time Lords, and may have lived enough lives for all of these backstories to be true without them even knowing it entirely. ("The Timeless Children"). Sometimes they even have a Multiple Choice Future where they enounter what might be later regenerations (besides the ones that actually are), further evidenced with the Shrouded in Myth bi-generation process allowing more than one present version of them to co-exist in separate bodies ("The Giggle"). Some of these are reconcilable, others aren't, and overall the show doesn't care about nailing the character down like that, as it's not really the point.

Multiple-Choice Past / int_ff9ab17f	comment	The Borg are described by Guinan in their debut episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation as having been expanding and assimilating for countless centuries, but she doesn't give anything more specific than this. Star Trek: Voyager says that the Borg's own memory of their beginning is fuzzy as well. The Star Trek Expanded Universe has produced many mutually contradictory origin stories for them: The Star Trek Encyclopedia and Star Trek: Legacy say that they were spawned by V'ger, while Star Trek: The Manga and the Star Trek: Destiny novel trilogy each tell of different alien species accidentally creating them as a means of survival.
