I take it that Mako/Black Scorpion will never be accepted here.

If the Devs are stating they retconned it then that doesn't mean that it wasn't originally intended to be so. It means they changed their minds.
Actually, I find that sort of a pity. Sort of makes Emperor Cole a bit blander than he was before. Now he's just a power hungry guy like Recluse and Nemesis. Without the "Ewww" factor he's not quite the same Tyrant he used to be.

The only line that was originally there was "She serves her grandfather in every capacity". Obviously, it can be taken that way, but it was never explicitly stated.|

The only retcon they did was delete that line from the official game bible.

Maybe Cole's forces infiltrated Paragon Studios and forced them to Retcon it..|

THOSE WHO CHOSE TO RETCON IT ARE LOYALISTS!

While this doesn't effect Cole directly, there is still plenty of "Eww" in the existence of the whole "Dominatrix" character as part of his group. I'm not a prude, but having the alt of the emblem of Atlas Park turn out to be a... well, a dominatrix... just really didn't work for me. It's just as subtle as a bulldozer. "She's a dominatrix, get it? And her name is Dominatrix! Wink, wink, nod, headbutt." At least they decided to relabel her "Praetor Duncan" so I don't have to think about it.

Edit: To expound, I've always hated Dominatrix, because she was always very blatantly "If we put more sluts in our game, will you stay subscribed?" I mean, her name was a sexual preference and her original bio ended in an implication of incest. In a certain official comic, it was pretty much about that behavior (panty shots galore!). I was completely in favor of their saying "We replaced her with a character that didn't suck. Also, giggity."
Double Edit: People have contacted me out of the forums to tell me they found the subject matter in this thread inappropriate. I find it hilarious that the closer we get to discussing official canon, the more inappropriate it is.

Well, dear Dominatrix has apparently moved on from 'serving' her granddad to cheerfully screwing over poor Anti-Matter in every sense of the word and some besides to boost Neuron up the popularity ladder. WHY... I've no idea, unless she intends to pull the rug out from under him to watch him go tumbling down out of some sense of malicious entertainment.
And since when did Neuron become 'all that and a bag of chips'? He's got Bobcat mewling over him in Studio 55, Battle Maiden standing guard for him outside the Tower, and Domi stealing Anti-Matter's tech to give it to him. Neuron's tower really is like one big 40-story middle finger to Keyes over on Reactor Island...

You know what I always wondered about? The Cape Radio has one of their ads about a romantic movie; the Primal Hamidon and Lusca.

Is Lusca even sentient? Consent is important.
