While I hate on Pak a lot, that's because I feel he can deliver and he is a competent writer, same with Tomasi and Yang. So when they don't deliver its way more painful. But at the end of the day, even their worst stories will just be forgotten (except Truth, it will stay in infamy).
Lobdell though, he made sure everything he touched become untouchable. Brainiac, Doomsday. He wrote his fan-fiction and effectively made them difficult for any other writer to write them again.
For someone else to re-use Brainiac and make him interesting they need to either ret-con or reboot him, Doomsday the same, Smallville had needed one arc from Pak and the mess still isn't cleaned.
