![]() ![]() ![]() Reed Richards figures out that the only way to defeat Onslaught (once the Hulk got so angry that he got strong enough to crack open Onslaught's armor) was to absorb Onslaught's psionic energy with their bodies. They were not getting very far when, in Onslaught: Marvel Universe by Scott Lobdell, Adam Kubert, Joe Bennett and a bunch of inkers, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four showed up to help out. So everyone would be united as energy? Maybe? Well, whatever it was, it was bad news for everybody involved, so the X-Men tried to stop him. I think it was something like transform the entire human race into energy or something like that. It used a special armor to give it form and its plan was to merge with the powerful telepath, Nate Grey, to give itself a physical body, and then it would, I dunno, take over the world? Destroy the world? Onslaught's ultimate goals were a bit hazy. It was the dark sides of Xavier and Magneto merged together with Xavier's psionic powers to form a sentient being of pure energy. ![]() Onslaught was a being made pretty much entirely out of malevolent psionic energy. The Marvel Universe underwent a dramatic change in 1996, during the Onslaught crossover. This time around, we're headed to December 1997 for the return of the Avengers to the Marvel Universe in Avengers #1 by Kurt Busiek, George Perez, Al Vey and Tom Smith. In every Look Back, we examine a comic book issue from 10/25/50/75 years ago (plus a wild card every month with a fifth week in it). ![]()
