Seriously. ME Cerberus was a small, blatantly evil organization that was described as an Alliance black-ops group which went rogue in the past six months or so. ME2 Cerberus was a morally gray organization with extensive resources that's existed for 20 years and has never been connected to the Alliance.

Both incarnations were interesting, but they have so little in common that it boggles the mind why the writers didn't just have Shepard revived by a new secret organization.
