Originitis

From Scott’s Textbook of Obscure Diseases:

originitis: an inflammation of the origin. A disease exhibited by characters whose backstories have undergone so many changes that no one knows for sure what their true origin is. Often due to the effects of crossovers and “event books.” There is no known cure.
