Entire Onslaught Saga Explained: X-Men vs. Professor X? One Of The Biggest Comic Book Event Of 90's! 

Should've included Uncanny X-Men #322, where Juggernaut got slugged from Canada to New York, and uttered the very first mention of the name "Onslaught".

I'm glad I'm not the only who only new Onslaught from Marvel vs Capcom 1.

I only knew of Onslaught because of Marvel vs Capcom 1

Last I checked Onslaught was defeated by Spider-Man, Megaman, and Shadow (who’s just Charlie).

Remember playing Clash of Superheroes non-stop and having Onslaught come out was so timely and amazing : D

X-Men 97 ep 9 is making me do some serious research

Ah yes, the *3* words "Onslaught Sends His Regards". XD

Well, here after ep 9

wolverine didnt turn animalistic after magneto ripped his adamantium out. it happened when his body rejected cyber's adamantium in Cable's comic, when Cable's son Genesis had Cyber eaten by bugs. way after Phalanx covernant. not that xmen comic with the hologram card on the cover 25 or 30, blood ties was straight after it. Avengers xmen crossover

Found your channel this morning. I’m always looking for stuff like this to listen to while I work. I’ll definitely be binging your videos during today’s shift

Tbh it's one of the best compilation of onslaught saga video i seen. Been a huge ComicsExplained and Comicstorian and i feel they have not paid enough attention to rhis story. Im happy 😀😁😀😁

DAAAAAAAAAAAANG! I never knew the Onslaught saga was so BIG! My time with Marvel in the 2000's made it seem like the only event on Earth that really shook things up and made series acknowledge its existence was Civil War (World War Hulk got 2 issues of Ghost Rider to pay attention, but I don't recall anything else doing so). Turns out, Onslaught got everyone's attention AND resulted in the most anime conclusion to a story I've seen from Marvel (and I say that in a good way)! I can definitely see why Marvel vs Capcom based itself around Onslaught! Also love the bit where Doom tried playing Onslaught and the heroes' sacrifices to his advantage and then got literally dragged into helping out. Although it doesn't involve Reed directly and Iron Man isn't really a major enemy to him, I could kinda see this being a permanent death for Doom if they decided to kill the characters and keep it that way...Granted, the sheer number of characters lost probably wouldn't have made this sacrifice worthwhile, especially since a lot of these characters still had huge moments ahead of them in years after Onslaught.

I'd like to see X-Cutioners Song 😊

I have this entire saga in the original comics.

Also, it's very important to note that Jean's message of Xavier's betrayal was the very message that brought Bishop to the past to pursue the X-Traitor.

@Marvelous Long Reads I came across your channel a few weeks back with your Frank Miller's Batman saga, and have been hooked ever since. You are doing a fantastic job. Keep up the great work.

I feel like you should have also mentioned the previous encounter with the X-Men and Post. And shown the first encounter with Xavier and Nate Grey

This video has given me greater appreciation for the Onslaught saga. Great work!

Thank you so much for uploading this. He is indeed one of the terrifying villains with minimal recognition. But his story was everywhere for me to follow.Thank you so much for uploading this

your long reads are lovely!! they honestly help me relax so much

This should be the build up for the X-men films. There are plenty of movies from different franchises that they can benefit from to build towards this. X-men/cable, fantastic 4/doom, avengers etc

Hope to eventually see the Operation Zero Tolerance storyline.

Onslaught is a demonstration how powerful is professor X and Magneto and also Nate Grey and Franklin Richards as a child.

In hindsight, the only problem with this Saga was it coming off the Heels of AOA which was peak Marvel imo but it doesn't feel as fleshed out as AOA probably due to all the drama going on in Marvel at the time like the bankruptcy etc and as a kid at the time and I could be massively bias I admit as AOA was the first proper SAGA i collected every issue for with my pocket money and at the time it did genuinely feel like Marvel had raised the stakes even more. 94-98 Marvel was a crazy rollercoaster to grow up through as a kid. You had some of the best, and worse stories ever seen in Marvel history come out at the same time.

1:31:05 Is that toy Goku???????

I really hope the MCU’s X-men movie storylines eventually lead to the Onslaught saga. And no more Magneto or Dark Phoenix as the main villains/storylines. Let’s explore other villains like Mr. Sinister, Bastion, Cassandra Nova, etc.

I hope this is S2 of X-97. Not sure how they'll handle Juggernaut, Bishop or Gambit but it would be interesting to see.

Dude thank you so much! Been looking for this story on RU-vid for years!

Cant wait to see what '97 has in store for him

I am sick today, but this is video of yours just made my day more bearable. Thank you soooooooo much! God bless you! :)

Another THANK You for this video💜💜💜💜💜💜

FVXKING FINALLY!!!! Listened to all of age of apocalypse and was looking for more. I needed this !!!!

One of favorites videos in RU-vid

The artwork is all over the place. I remember the story being better as a kid. Good job though. Very entertaining

Heh.Another one of my favorite works that I created.So happy to see. this posted here!💚💚💚💚💚💚

"You might be my friend I am onslaught"

Why are all explained videos from any creator just videos of someone saying what happened instead of explaining?

Keep doing what you're doing i hope you get to 6K

Any chance you could do the complete Witchblade and/or The Darkness comics? I've looked all over the youtube and can't seem to find anyone covering those. Great work btw

Behold my Mighty Hand!

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.❤❤❤❤❤

Love these recaps. Can only imagine how long it takes to script, record audio and edit all the images.

This is such a fun story, I like the way you do your stories as well very much, but would you mind re-recording this or re-uploading us without the blown out audio? Was really looking forward to listening to this on a long drive, But unfortunately I can't really listen to it past a very quiet level without it sounding super distorted

Love these series but I think this one can do a redo. There's no reason to be going in depth on the fringe tie in stuff like what Spider-Man got up to during Onslaught, when you're skipping the months of issues of X-titles that were devoted to building up Onslaught. The best parts of the story were when Onslaught was mysterious

I forgot how big the Onslaught story is.

How can Cable withstand one single punch from the Hulk? Ahhhh the 90's

Any time Tony, Reed, and T’challa work together as bois I love that shit. Just a bunch of dude ass bros being smart and handling shit

This was very interesting i enjoyed it😁

Thank you

I actually have the first issue bought in the 90's, was far from guessing what it all would entail and how it all ended (the place where I got the comics at the time had closed around issue 3 of the event so I never got the whole story and I never got around to collecting again), so thanks for this :)

I started collecting this series in high school, the animated series for Batman, The X-Men and Spider-Man started a resurgence in interest in comics. I didn’t get too far in before I had to stop. The most memorable thing was the art. I absolutely fell in love with the art along with the story. It’s great that we live in an age where people who are passionate about these stories translate into a video like as a way of binging. Thank you so much for making this video. It’s much appreciated. 🫡💪🤌

Lovely video. Can u get a better mic or lower compression rate?

5:49 He defeated Jean yes!!! But he didn't actually defeat The Pheonix Force. It was just symbolic of what he actually did. And what Onslaught actually did was shut her potential access to the Pheonix Force off. Because he knew if Jean was able to tap into in. She could easily defeat or destroy him. Whether she was in control of it or not.

It would be cool if there was more to this video😁😁😁😁😁😁

ty

I have a feeling we're going to see onslaught in season two of x men 97

X men 322 is where it officially started right after AOA

1:30 Surprise Goku cameo!

18:16 one thing of note, this recording is found by Bishop in Uncanny X-Men #287 during a flashback. Bishop and his XSE squad find this recording and learn that somebody betrayed the X-Men. Bishop then went to the past to catch Trevor Fitzroy, and then joined the X-Men to find who betrayed them. He suspects Gambit for awhile, but we learn here that it was Xavier the entire time. He absorbs the blast that would have killed the X-Men, thereby preventing his own future from ever happening. But stupid writers ignored that and turned him into a villain during Messiah CompleX anyway even though he prevented his future from happening. Oh well.

Dude Ik you’re going to anyway, but KEEP IT UP! This channel is Uncanny, Fantastic, Amazing!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤟💯

Brilliant video was actually re-living reading this story at the time, when watching and you added a few tie ins I hadn’t even read as a youngster. Imagine this in live action 🤯🤯🤞🏾Turns out that Joseph character is actually a clone of magneto, rather than him being de-aged. Mags takes him out in a battle, sure it was trial of Gambit story where it comes out he helped with mutant massacre or around then. Think you should get into some more of the xmen stories soo much material - i hear there’s an AoA vid as well in comments: im on that next 👌🏾

Now i like this voice.🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

Cant continue to watch this with the speech from the comics being blurred out

Xmen writing: every dark secret is in a room behind a locked door. Xavier, hulk, etc.

more of these

I think this was a cartoon or a Sega game when I was a kid!?! Does anyone else remember most of the story?

Just finished it was a nice event

I need to know what Franklin did to the others

13:52 Cue "On Our Own" by Bobby Brown

Who was Thor at this time? Thor or Eric Masterson?

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great work

Why didn't you show all of the marvel comics hinting at the creation of onslaught

Could you please do the Walt Simonson FF?

How was scarlet witch able to enter but not quicksilver??

good story bad audio

Yes yes yes yes yes💚💚💚💚💚💚

The pictures dont add up to what is being said

Xforce?

"The Sahgger of Onslaught." 1:50:28

X-Men The X-Cutioner’s song storyline please

This is NOT the entire saga, and it's WAY out of order.

Spider man kraven's last hunt or Avengers the gathering to spider man son of Goblin

So many goddamned ads

Over modulated

Onslaught is such of a mess story in my opinion.

Ugh, Franklin Richards. Leave it to Marvel to create a character even more insufferable than his father.

Reset

😜why DOOM come through with the game winning 🏆 plan 😉💯

12:3

Dial down that gain brother. You are a professional voice over, you should know better.

Wow, REALLY could have done without the "voice acting". Absolutely horrible.

If only the mcu would have enough balls to go this kinda route .

The problem with the whole Onslaught thing and him being the traitor that killed the X-men was it was too transparent and obvious. At the time, during the Jean Grey encounter, allyou had to do is ask " who would be most shocking to find out being the X-traitor. First thought is Cyclops, next thougt is Professor X. Wow Professir X is Onslaught and the X-traitor ... SHOCKING

👍🙂👍
