    Ah, well there is an official classification, that is what I am going by. An origin story can still be called an origin story even if it’s the first story, if it follows the origin story format. If however the first story doesn’t follow the origin story format, then it isn’t an origin story even if it’s the first story.

    An origin story is named that based on what happens in it, it doesn’t have to be a pre-quel to qualify.
