A staple of Setting Updates and Lighter and Softer adaptations, the Adaptational Backstory Change occurs when a character's origin or background is edited or expanded upon in adaptations. This can be anything from minor details to a completely different origin. This is most prominent with superhero characters but happens to others as well.
