That's a very good point, among the other very good points here. Each successive author has seen something in both characters with which they don't feel comfortable, goes against their personal sensibilities of how the characters should be, and so each iteration necessitates a rewrite to ameliorate those qualities. It's just unfortunate for those who want to sell these things as real characters and events that the origin stories are still in the public domain.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
