Onslaught (Comic Book) | comment |
Onslaught was a 1996 Marvel Comics Crisis Crossover involving nearly every superhero comic book they published at the time. The X-Men, Avengers, the Fantastic Four and other heroes fight an incredibly powerful Omnicidal Maniac which results in the "deaths" of every hero involved (except the mutants, Spider-Man and a Banner-less Hulk). Outside of comics, the series is best known for providing the Final Boss for Marvel vs. Capcom: Clash of Super Heroes.The X-Men suffer several attacks by minions of the seemingly omnipotent entity known only as "Onslaught", who appears to know them well. He is also the one behind the recent stealing of the Sentinel fleet from a government base. When Gambit and Jean Grey go undercover to learn more about an unrelated Government Conspiracy, they are exposed but get an unexpected help from Onslaught. Later he tries to bring Jean over his side by showing her the dark long-repressed thoughts of her mentor Charles Xavier. She refuses. Juggernaut, who was attacked by Onslaught as well, comes to the X-Mansion and asks Jean to look for its true identity inside his head. She does and finds out that Onslaught is none other than Professor X.It turns out that when Xavier brainwashed Magneto several months before (to cause him to stop being a threat after he cruelly stripped the adamantium off Wolverine's bones), a part of the latter's psyche merged with his own mind. Under the stress of constant failures and new misfortunes the Professor became more and more frustrated, until he developed a split personality, which eventually took a life of its own and was able to manifest in the corporeal world. Onslaught nearly kills the X-Men before leaving to capture Franklin Richards and X-Man in order to suck out their powers and become a living god. That brings him into conflict with both the Avengers, who were approached by X-Man, and Franklin's family, the Fantastic Four. Despite that Onslaught successfully kidnaps both of his targets, encircles Manhattan with Sentinels and prepares to Take Over the World.The heroes (and Doctor Doom) eventually manage to defeat him but in order to do that most of them have to enter his non-corporeal form, which the X-Men then have to destroy, making it look like they killed them. Professor X is imprisoned for Onslaught's crimes and the anti-mutant sentiments become stronger than ever.(Unknown to anyone, the heroes survived as they were recreated by Franklin's powers in another world, with no memory of their previous lives, as seen in the sequel "Heroes Reborn".)After the events of House of M Onslaught came Back from the Dead in the aptly named Onslaught Reborn miniseries.Thanks to the Red Skull's clone grafting Professor X's brain onto his own, and Magneto subsequently crushing his head in, he became Red Onslaught, kicking off the Autumn 2014 event AXIS. | |

Onslaught (Comic Book) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Early on Juggernaut got beaten up by Onslaught to establish him as a big threat. It was before writers made up their minds about just anything else of him. It becomes unintentional Fridge Brilliance after The Reveal of Onslaught's identity: If you become evil and all-powerful, one of your first targets would be the invincible-til-now man who has bullied and tried to kill you from childhood to the present day. | |

Onslaught (Comic Book) / int_41a49201 | comment |
Red Skies Crossover: Wolverine #103 was labeled as tie-in but had no connection whatsover. The titles displaying the Crossover's logo were generally separated into two types, with directly affected titles branded "Onslaught: Phase (1, 2, or 3, depending on the month)" while the more Red Sky types were billed as "Onslaught: Impact (1, 2, 3)". Most of the "Impact" issues featured the heroes (e.g. Spider-Man) facing Onslaught-controlled Sentinels. Interestingly enough, there was an issue of The Punisher that had criminals hiding out inside the remains of a destroyed Sentinel. | |

Once More, with Clarity: As noted under "Arc Welding", we're shown the X-traitor tape in its entirety at the official start of the crossover. In another example, in Wolverine #104, Wolverine and Elektra are taken by Gateway to the climax of X-Men #25 where Magneto tears out the adamantium from Logan's body. Xavier's mindwiping of Magneto is revisited, and it shown that a creepy creature emerged from Magneto's astral body and reached out to Xavier's counterpart, planting the seed that would eventually become Onslaught. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Thor separating Xavier from Onslaught. Instead of destroying him, it freed Onslaught from any sense of Xavier's morality and influence. The existence of Onslaught himself given he was created when Xavier lashed out at Magneto over the latter's ripping out of Wolverine's adamantium. Also, as before, Xavier's tendency to repress his darker emotions and thoughts just fed Onslaught's creation, including his feelings about failing to save a kid who was killed by an anti-mutant mob just outside the X-Mansion, his failure to reform Sabretooth, and Creed's subsequent near-killing of Psylocke and escape. The fact that even before Thor tearing Xavier from him, Onslaught could move about independently can be traced back to Nate Grey pulling Xavier from the astral plane during their first encounter, which gave Onslaught the means to form a psychic body of his own. The Hulk cutting loose on and destroying Onslaught's physical body was exactly what he wanted from the heroes, becoming a being of Pure Energy. Though this led to... | |

Left Hanging: We never find out how Onslaught punched out Juggernaut, especially if he hadn't formed his physical body by that point and was still messing with Xavier. We never learn why a psionic entity warns the X-Men about Onslaught, why Post attacks the X-Men and works for Onslaught, and why Xavier is almost kidnapped. Jean Grey says something important is happening with Spider-Man, but we never find out what that is. | |

What Happened to the Mouse?: In an issue of Spider-Man, Peter Parker and Ben Reilly defeat a few Sentinels and run off at the end of the issue to help the other heroes fight Onslaught. They never show up in any of the battles with no explanation (beyond the theory that they just didn't manage to find the battleground in time, given Spider-Man's relatively solo status). | |

The Onslaught: Epilogue one-shot follows this, showing Xavier's time in custody and helping establish Bastion as a new threat. The Amazing Spider-Man #417 serves as an epilogue for the wider Marvel Universe. As New York rebuilds, the Ben Reilly Spider-Man reflects on the loss of his colleagues, the impact this tragedy has had on civilians, and how remaining heroes like him will be needed now more than ever. | |

The traditional Mr. Sinister recognized his own theories in use and the events of Mutant Massacre were revealed to be Sinister getting rid of unauthorized use of his work. | |

Generic Doomsday Villain: In the proud tradition of previous Crisis Crossover villains, Onslaught is heavy on power and light on personality and motivation. He does have a motive, at least at first (he initially wants to institute mutant supremacy ala Magneto, but changes his mind and switches to For the Evulz after seeing Nate Grey's memories of the Age of Apocalypse), but due to how lightly this motive is actually referenced and how quickly the character drops it, he's still a case of this. | |

When Sue is probing Franklin's room with her powers, one thing seen on his wall is Calvin and Hobbes. In the final issue of Fantastic Four, Sue is holding one of Franklin's cherished toys, which appears to be a Goku plushy. In issue #415, Franklin and "Charley" play a card game based on the Amalgam line of comics and the Overpower card line, which was a real Marvel card line in the mid-1990s. | |

Arc Welding: The opening of Onslaught: X-Men does this to the traitor tape that was a part of Bishop's backstory, revealing that Jean sent it after Onslaught attacked X-Men—and hence that the X-traitor was none other than Professor X himself (debunking Bishop's theory that the traitor was Gambit), not that he was the first to die (and while he didn't die, either, Jean believed it was Juggernaut; it was also shown the X-Men managed to keep Onslaught from killing Jean the second the tape ended). The story also had Onslaught use an element from the early comics (Professor Xavier having the hots for Jean) to try to lure Jean to his side. Additionally, Onslaught's existence is traced back to Xavier mindwiping Magneto in retaliation for ripping out Wolverine's adamantium in Fatal Attractions (Marvel Comics). | |

Continuity Snarl: Thor sports his shirtless "World Engine" look for the majority of the crossover, but changes into a new black costume in the last issue of his solo series, which takes place just before the final battle with Onslaught. In the actual finale of the crossover, Onslaught: Marvel Universe, Thor is inexplicably back to his shirtless look. Same thing happened with The Falcon. He was sporting his armored costume at the time, but is shown wearing his classic 70's uniform during the final battle with no explanation. Two issues sees the events of Uncanny X-Men, Vol 1. #335 contradicted twice: The Uncanny sees Moira MacTaggert and Excalibur aware of the crisis and that some of the X-Men were coming for the Xavier Protocols. Excalibur #100 saw the titular team busy with other matters and Moira surprised by the X-Men's visit. Granted, this one is a double edged sword as said Uncanny issue itself also that Excalibur was already dealing with the Hellfire Club's London Branch (the "other matters" in question). Wolverine, Vol. 2. #104 sees Wolverine claim that Cyclops and Jean told him to meet with Gateway. In said Uncanny issue, Logan's mission to figure out Onslaught's origin was something he decided on his own and was a bit of a moot point since in the same exact issue, the Avengers and other X-Men already sussed out what Logan was going to learn: It started with Xavier mindwiping Magneto following the latter ripping out the adamantium from Wolverine. The Red Skies Crossover issues with Spider-Man. While the end of Sensational Spider-Man, Vol. 1 #8 saw then-current Spider-Man Ben Reilly get involved with dealing with Sentinels (seen in Amazing Spider-Man, Vol 1. 415 and Spider-Man, Vol 1. #72), whereas Spectacular Spider-Man, Vol 1. #238 saw Ben chasing the Lizard creature while the invasions of Sentinels going down. For that matter, the end of Spider-Man #72 saw Ben and Peter resolve to be part of the final battle against Onslaught, but are absent in Onslaught: Marvel Universe. | |
