History
Onslaught was an entity created subconsciously by Charles Xavier, made of repressed mental characteristics, and was influenced by Magneto. Upon being awakened, Onslaught attacked the Marvel Universe, and was shown to be nearly unstoppable. Charles Xavier subconsciously called upon warriors from another universe to aid in defeating him.[1]
When finally encountered, Onslaught proved to be a tough foe; with the abilities to teleport, fire energy blasts, and even command Sentinels (COTA 94). Once finally taken down, Onslaught revealed a larger, more monstrous form. In his second form, Onslaught could only be damaged through attacks to the head, and was shown to be more brutal than his previous form. Once finally defeated, the two universes were split apart.[1]Attributes
Powers

Trivia
- He is playable if you finish the game once (Only on the PS1 and Dreamcast versions). He is located below Wolverine on the character select screen. Despite this, he is not playable in the new video game of 2024 called Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, as the game uses an emulation of the original Arcade release.
- His stage of New York Manhattan skyline can be used in the namesake 2024 game for training (after PS1 in 1999) and versus modes.
- A small reference was made to him in (U)MvC3 as Magneto's win quote after defeating an X-Men team: "The dream is dead".
