Did anyone mention Peter's Robo Parents?
Claremont intended no such thing for Maddie. She and Scott were supposed to be written out of the book and get a happy ending. When editorial reunited the O5 they forced Scott to leave his wife for Jean and the clone retcon was added to make Scott look like less of a jerk.
Sam being a pimp was a retcon. He was initially a social worker.
Marvel has some bad ones.
Brain-ambushed gay Bobby,
One more day,
Snap Wilson,
Disassembled is just... urgh,
Wanda & Pietro
but, and I know this is a Marvel forum, but the worst retcon of all time has just got to be... (drumroll)
The New 52. It would take a master of chaos to come up with something worse than that. Give it time. They will.
One more day (WORST)
Wanda + Pietro being non-mutants
Everything Grant Morrison NXM (Fucking Xorn and many more)

One More Day/Brand New Day will always be the worst for me.
However, I'm very quickly beginning to hate the "Bobby is gay" retcon. Not because of what it is, I'm happy for the character to be gay, it means nothing to me personally and the character in the long run. What makes me hate it is all the smug "We've known it all along" crowd that's pulling just about every failure Bobby has had with a woman and going "HEY!! See this! It proves this has been alluded to for years! I spotted it back in X-Men Issue 85! I'm so smart and progressively thinking!".
