It's an interesting list, but the title "WTF?" is a bit of a misnomer to my 
mind. Many of the things mentioned--the fate of Batman co-creator Finger, the 
death of Jason Todd, the appearance of the first Superman--aren't moments that 
shock and stun people, puzzle people, anger people.  They're more like great 
and memorable moments in comic history. The Heroes Reborn world Franklin 
Richards created, the New Avengers forming and including Spider-Man, those are 
more milestones, maybe intriguing, but not something that make one go "WTF?".  
Also, I must say that colloquially, a "WTF?" moment is usually one bearing the 
connotation of being something you don't like, something you think is kind of 
stupid.  Thus, Spider-Man revealing his secret identity to the world, the 
Mephisto deal with Peter and MJ that literally erased their marriage, qualify 
as a "WTF". And maybe some things that turn out to be cool but are incredibly 
stunning at first qualify, such as Bucky Barnes being resurrected as
 the Winter Soldier.  But a large part of this list doesn't meet that standard 
to me, rather just being memorable moments in comic history.

In my humble opinion, but then, WTF do I know?
