An honest recount of the 2000 election prevents Bush from seizing power.
A sane foreign policy instituted in the late 20th century against the wishes of the oil industry averts 9/11.

An honest recount of the 2000 election confirms Bush for his first term and sends Gore on an eight year odyssey looking for his lost personality. (oh wait, that actually happened ) A sane foreign policy instituted in the late 20th century against the wishes of the Clinton administration averts 9/11. isn't spinning fun!

The Beatles do not break up in 1970. In 1980, they are on their 20th anniversary tour and half the world away from a young man named Chapman.

The outstanding medical care provided by the United States to all residents and augmented by special care of magnanimous employers like Time Warner provides life long care for free to former creators like Dave Cockrum, who, free from medical woes and any associated financial burden, is under contract to draw Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes for at least 5 years after the 50th Anniversary spectacular.

FC marries a young 20 year old Cobie, also born slim and tall (though dark haired, natch) in 2001! Cobie's poor upbringing shocks the rich upper crust of Legion fandom.

Deciding to go with the hottest new trend after the wedding, Cobalt Kid changes his name to "Cobalt Cramer". Many believe that this has more to do with Fat Cramer's refusal to change her name to "Fat Kid".
