10) The Legends Uninspire Romeo and Juliet

In an attempt to snag a piece of the Loom of Fate, which if assembled would destroy free will, the Legends head to 16th-century England and accidentally run into William Shakespeare. After seeing their heroics in action, the struggling Bard decides to write his upcoming play Romeo and Juliet into a superhero story, thus erasing it from existence. Compared to other entries in this list, the destruction of one of the greatest tragedies of all time is admittedly small stakes, but it’s worth noting after the Legends fail to properly mind-wipe Shakespeare they decide not to bother fixing the anachronism. It, of course, ends with the Legends putting on the play themselves… (Season 5, “Romeo v Juliet: Dawn of Justness”)
