The X-Men have had several villains who withstood the test of time and risen to threaten the Earth more than once. From Magneto and his early, very genocidal campaign to free mutants from human oppression to Apocalypse and his various plans to conquer the world. Yet, only one of their villains succeeded in bringing most of Earth’s heroes to their knees and nearly destroying the world. In a shocking twist, this was Charles Xavier, or more accurately, a corrupted personality within Xavier’s mind that took over. His name was Onslaught, and he more than lived up to the word.The onslaught began a campaign to bring about the mutant-dominant future the X-Men feared would come to pass, but as resistance to his plans mounted, he became determined to wipe out both humans and mutants. What’s truly disturbing is that Onslaught presented such a singular threat that it united the most powerful heroic teams in the Marvel Universe and several of their most powerful villains. It took all of them to defeat Onslaught, and most of the world assumed they had sacrificed themselves. Onslaught’s story highlights why Xavier always held himself back, fearful of the monster he would become if he truly embraced Magneto’s methods. It is also a major event with a somewhat convoluted narrative.During a battle on Magneto’s space station known as Avalon, Xavier used his powers to shut down Magneto’s mind. He did this to save the life of Wolverine. Still, he unknowingly allowed Magneto’s malevolence to enter his mind, slowly developing into a separate entity that bided his time to act when Xavier was most vulnerable. That moment came during a peak in anti-mutant sentiment in the world.
