- Fury remained in Infinity Inc., but was retconned into being the birth daughter of "the Golden Age Fury" (a character created for the purpose of the retcon) and being raised by the 1940s heroine Miss America.
- The Huntress was killed in Crisis on Infinite Earths #12 and was retconned out of existance. Post-Crisis, a new Huntress appeared with no direct connection to the Batman. Her new origin was considered too different for her to have been an Infinitor, and she is no longer considered to have been a member.
- Power Girl's status has changed; initially it was stated she had actually come from ancient Atlantis, although that has recently been proved untrue. She is still considered to have been an Infinitor.
