An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Occasionally a company creates a fake 'legacy' for a character, and uses that as a basis for the character: Essentially a Retcon, introducing their past adventures into real life. By combining Retraux with Show Within a Show, the creators engineer a 'return' for a new character. A specific form of Newer Than They Think. Some overlap with Absolutely Happened. See also The Gump for when the constructed legacy involves events "originally" performed by other characters. Compare and contrast Un Installment, where a single installment is "missing" from the midst of a series.
