Since their debut more than sixty years ago, the X-Men have stood as the Marvel Universe’s foremost team of mutant heroes. In that time, they have faced off against a myriad of threats, with plenty of those coming in a multitude of forms. Of course, few if any have proven to be quite as terrifying as the psychic entity known as Onslaught, and the latest version is easily the worst so far.In an alternate timeline not all that unlike the one fans know best, the eponymous young heroes of The Original X-Men #1 (by Christos Gage, Greg Land, Jay Leisten, Frank D’Armata, and VC’s Clayton Cowles) battle fiercely against the combined threats of the Eel and Plantman. Before any of the combatants can come to any harm, the heroes are whisked away to a fiery plane by an older, alternate version of Jean Grey wielding the Phoenix Force. As she explains, there is a grave threat on its way in the form of yet another alternate Phoenix, this one twisted by its worst impulses. Or rather, twisted into something else entirely. As the heroes learn soon enough, the Jean that became this Dark Phoenix used her powers to wipe away the mind of her world’s Magneto, although instead of removing one threat, she created another in the form of what might be the most powerful Onslaught of all time.By the time Onslaught made its first full appearance in the pages of 1996’s X-Men #52 (by Mark Waid and Andy Kubert), the evil that had festered along with Xavier’s own suppressed anger and sorrow for so long erupted forth in truly monstrous fashion. In doing so, Onslaught took the form of a towering, hulking brute capable of untold acts of destruction in the physical plane nearly as devastating as anything it could wreak through psychic means. In the months that followed Onslaught’s full emergence, the entity waged war on the X-Men and every other hero, villain, and innocent bystander who got in its way. The first of these confrontations saw Onslaught single-handedly vanquish the Juggernaut with ease, though Cain Marko’s embarrassing albeit non-lethal defeat was the worst fate that would be suffered at Onslaught’s hands, nor was the pain he felt along the way anywhere close to the full extent of what the entity could dish out.
