Onslaught was a good example of this sort-of "organic" plotting where his name gets mentioned in a story without the writing/editorial staff having any idea who he isMy favorite snafu from the era is the idiotic Kwannon/Revanche storyline, which not only retcons something that didn't need to be retconned in the first place, but which was handled so poorly they had to retcon it again a year later. The L/N era is virtually a case study in how not to write.
