Onslaught Reborn

anyone know about this

When the Scarlet Witch used her powers to depower countless mutants, including Magneto and Prof. Xavier, people were only worried about what was lost, but not what came back. The power lost by Magneto and Xavier combined, and restored Onslaught (whose consciousness still remained lingering after his death), who is now determined to kill Franklin Richards and every hero that exists. He first appears very grotesque, with a monstrous skull-faced form. Onslaught takes control of both the Human Torch and Mister Fantastic in an attempt to get Franklin but it is interrupted by the Thing and Invisible Woman. When Franklin flees to Counter-Earth, Onslaught follows him. As he arrived, Onslaught's appearance changed, becoming larger and more refined, notably gaining his trademark Magneto-style head. However, he soon encountered Captain America and the Avengers and was assumed to be temporarily defeated following his plummet into the ocean. While the Avengers assess their new threat which did not exist until Franklin appeared, they take into account what the boy says about Onslaught. However, they are in disbelief that he is the son of Susan Storm and Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four as they are not married in their reality. Loki, meanwhile, regards the arrival of the entity known as Onslaught as the perfect opportunity to kill Thor. Shortly afterwards, Thor is assaulted by an Onslaught-possessed Hulk, and, in turn, falls under Onslaught's control. Onslaught has the two fight each other to determine who is stronger, where he will afterwards destroy the remaining heroes using the victor and himself.

i have the first two issues so far and i am not totaly loving it,but i dont hate it hehe

is this recent or old as dirt

yeah dude, I think there's a whole scans thread about it.

oh ok.

Onslaught Reborn is great. I have the first three issues.

Btw is onslaught in onslaught reborn is as powerful as before?

Supposedly he is, but I don't really think that's correct. If he is then there wouldn't be such a need to take over the Hulks or Thor's body.

I have the first three issues of it. It's not bad. It's a fun read.

it's just a way for marvel to cash in on more money, rather than coming up with new interesting characters and plot... it's sad really

Being a huge fan of the original saga I have to say that this time around its just garbage. Rob Liefields art is horrendous, they shouldve left it alone.

ya i agree with you DV, it is pretty horrendus.

Onslaught Reborn? Meh...

That series was written by Leob, wasn't it? That's the same guy who got fired from DC (but now works for Marvel) for turning Darkseid (from the Superman series) into such a jobber by having things happening like Wonder Woman's bracelets deflecting his Omega Beam/Effect... And in the Onslaught Reborn series, Captain America makes Onslaught, supposedly a being of pure energy (and someone far more powerful), bleed. Bleed I tell you!

Both examples kind of give you the idea that Leob doesn't really know how to write characters properly (at least those with super-powers).

Did this get cancelled? not that I would be suprized, but only three issues have been released
