There are certain characters that for whatever reasons generate massive amounts of hate among fans, a Scrappy, named after the character from Scooby Doo. However in rare instance as time goes on the hate from the character dies down and fans eventually come to like them. As such the character is rescued from the Scrappy Heap.
My question here is can anyone remember characters that used to be despised by fans that are now well liked? Like why were they hated and made people come around to them.
I heard that Kyle Rayner used to have a pretty large and vocal hate legion. So how did he turn it around?
