Onslaught
- Onslaught
- No Dual Identity
Onslaught is a psionic entity born when Charles Xavier wiped Magneto's mind and absorbed his rage, which merged with Xavier's own buried darkness. The being eventually took over Xavier and waged war on the world, forcing the X-Men, Avengers and Fantastic Four to join forces, and many heroes seemed to sacrifice themselves to stop him. He has resurfaced several times since, including possessing Rikki Barnes. During the Krakoa era, Orchis secretly planted him inside a mutant mind, where he plotted until the mutants united against him and Nightcrawler helped defeat him.
