Onslaught kills the Marvel Universe

The Onslaught story arc began at the end of X-Men #54 and started off in Onslaught: X-Men, then was developed over the course of Onslaught Phases 1 & 2, finally concluding in Onslaught: Marvel Universe. Tie-in issues were dubbed Onslaught Impact 1 & 2, corresponding with the Phases.

[@avatar4real327]

Xavier-"Hey XMEN, you want to go KILL some people" *Turns into Onslaught* XMEN- "Well, that was weird...." Rob you're so funny!

[@TheDeFiler316]

The way you explained the story was down right hilarious. Great job Rob!

[@kingkold]

I still love the onslaught saga till this day

[@RobotCavePartytime]

"UPON FURTHER CONSIDERATION, I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME INVOLVED IN THIS CONFLICT" I swear Rob, you have a lot of informative content, but when you break and get real during your vids, and do rundowns, you're funny as heck.

[@destrokincaid6318]

It was psylocke and bishop, not beast. That makes me question alot that rob says....

[@mrblue3879]

Ooh you said heck

[@ChaoticV]

I love you're version, the Apocalypse part made me laugh: " well upon further consideration..."

[@Plamkton]

I wish he could be like this in the comics, at least partially

[@StoneArkCityRadio]

11:02 Best ...part...ever...

[@IAMChasingTheCool]

Yes, yes it was!

[@adoniscreed4031]

'Apocalypse man, you might wanna get involved' one of the funniest things I've ever seen on this channel 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@UnifiedEntity]

Wait wait....Hold the FUCKING phone....So in the 90s.......The Xmen was saving Marvels ass? But now Marvel has been fucking with the Xmen and Mutants since then? WHAT!?!! Side note the art from the 90s is freaking amazing

[@TevyaSmolka]

yep that and spider-man were the only things selling at marvel

[@pious83]

Most of that art was down to Andy & Adam Kubert and the amazing Joe Madureira.

[@azozazoz2131]

Tevya Smolka Really? I'm really thought they've been saved thier butts by X-Men the Animated Series, i was born in the late 90s, but i didn't know Marvel went bankrupt

[@cmbaz1140]

fox has the movie rights on x men ,mutants and all.....soo marvels answer was simple killem off .....make INHUMANS GREAT AGAIN !

[@larrymarshall9593]

c@mbaz for the first time you mean.

[@caseyjones8246]

Apocalypse "Sir Voice" - Upon further consideration, I have decided....lolololol

[@Lone_Rocket]

Casey Jones That was my favorite part.

[@Ariesphoenix1]

The Onslaught story arc is where I expanded my reading of marvel. I had been reading Spiderman a few years before. This was the coolest 😎 story for me back then!! Thanks for covering it, you explained it awesomely! Keep up the great work!

[@amirnoor8607]

FINALLY! Everyone needs to know how epic Onslaught is! Thank you so much for this Rob! This was the peak of X-Men for me!

[@DDAAXX]

XD 5:30 adamantium gets his wolverine ripped out!!!

[@mancamiatipoola]

So how did the adamantium get put back into Wolverine? Or is this Onslaught saga one of those things that never really happened in their reality?

[@karlkartoffel294]

@@mancamiatipoola Apocalypse made him one of his horsemen and gave him back his adamantium.

[@thebookiemonster]

Had no idea it was just a storyline meant to reboot all the comics that weren't selling... great job would be awesome if you do cover it in its entirety

[@cavemaneruption]

Yep. It was pretty cool at the time. I still didn't stray away from X-men for the rebooted titles

[@DravenRedrum]

Ya know for one of your lower ranked story lines, I have to admit that it was one of your best commentaries. You could have dragged this out to 4 segments, but you did beautifully with 1. Plus you had undertones of comedy that hit with perfect timeing. Thank you for this, I didn't know much about Onslaught, and know I do.

[@pious83]

The story might not have stood the test of time, but the art is still fantastic!

[@SDolan]

pious83 nothing compares to that 90's style of art!

[@st4ne4rmthevill63]

S. Dolan Riley Rossmo, Kenneth Rocafort, Alex Ross....they compare. I love their artwork.

[@taraishot100]

What are you talking about people from my gen who loved comics remember onslaught but mainly because of the game

[@lordjolly2267]

Lol im feelin this rundown style....It's quick and gets to the point!

[@aztectlaloc7577]

I am loving the run down. it's the simple and I love how energetic and you cut straight to the point.

[@Mojospider2099]

JUST DO IT!!!! The whole onslaught saga

[@Ali-bd6kb]

11:16 I laughed my ass off

[@chrisperez6768]

Adamantium gets his Wolverine ripped out!

[@katanaridingremy]

X-men is what got me into comics so I loved this Saga and AoA, hands down some of my fav stories lol pretty much anything to do with my fav villains Apocalypse and Mr Sinister. Like the new Logo Rob

[@Artisjjj]

Remy Melanie -- muuuuummm, Sweet sweet Remy!!! lol.... Lookin all delicious and shit!!! lol

[@WayneBerryJr]

The way you summarized the whole Marvel Onslaught Crossover was entertaining and hilarious. And I may not have all the issues in my collection but you actually did summarize it according to very exact issues and Onslaught graphic novel I do have. Loved it bro

[@ManuelGarcia-ki4vc]

i like how you kept referencing it as a "party" lol

[@desuordie4856]

"You wanna go kill people?!" The intense zoom got me man Scrap that, this is the most entertaining video you have ever put out. The jokes were good

[@humanitywasamistake8233]

5:31 "adamantiun gets his wolverine ripped out" that would be awesome rob i didn't know adamantiun had wolverine. By the way 9:12 , 11:29 , 11:15 and 13:54 were the greatest moments ever

[@Sabaition]

Okay. This has to be one of my favorite quick recap I've ever seen. That was hilarious and informative. BRAVO!!! It felt like the "What the frack is happening on Battle Star Galactica" videos. Loved it.

[@matiasleon9657]

11:14 I died. Rob, you are the man!! really enjoyed the video.

[@onlyadonis3936]

That's actually green goblin 3, a kid that found one of Norman's goblin stashes and became a hero. His goblin stuff was broken fighting a sentinel, so he stopped at that point.

[@xChirox]

Rob the way you did this one was HILARIOUS! Great vid, man

[@chrisjcollings]

I think that was the funniest CE so far. Fantastic vid.

[@ImmortalDrignis]

that Apocalypse part changing his mind to help had me rolling lol. bro I wish I could give your videos two thumbs up

[@schmid171]

This is 100% the best ComicsExplained video ever

[@moisesrosado9516]

Love the onslaught story!!! Please do it as well as hero’s reborn (even though it was very confusing)

[@MarkDesjarlais16]

5:31 "adamantium gets his wolverine ripped out!" lol I know you are speeding up on this explanation because you covered a similar video before about how onslaught came to be. But anyway, keep up the good work Rob. You're channels awesome, awesome to the max

[@wingmon]

The Rundown is simply da best. Please keep it up!

[@tjack8029]

Man you ARE CRAZY!!! Thanks for the ride. I am really enjoying your breakdown of the comics. and you end with PEACE as I do.

[@lordzphyr]

Good video and man Onslaught is a beast.

[@mrhopadopalus]

This is my favorite comics explained video, Robs delivery is just perfect.

[@NegaSquirrel]

5:30 "Adamantium gets his Wolverine ripped out!" LOL

[@thefookinchamptfc]

Ah the original Hulk, how I miss you.

[@temitayoadekoya8651]

F00KIN N00TIN fuck ur hulk

[@thefookinchamptfc]

Tha Spida Man fuck you

[@waddledoo2you13]

F00KIN N00TIN Fuck me

[@thefookinchamptfc]

Waddle Doo 2 You ill get to it eventually

[@not_quite_right_guy8384]

That honestly was the best explanation of a comic book that I have ever heard. 🤣😂 Great job Rob.

[@jacksonwofford5455]

This video is by far the funniest one you have done that I Have seen Rob!

[@NocSoulo]

the hilarity of this comic is only enhanced by your commentary!! Great video!!

[@xlcoacidburn]

I ENJOY THIS MORE THEN ANY VIDEO YOU HAVE EVER DONE. THIS VIDEO WAS AMZING! GJ ROB.

[@theoncomingstorm8009]

Your sarcastic commentary was great. Thanks Rob

[@moleyswag1311]

Yessss I've been waiting forever for you to do Onslaught

[@sayanhope5098]

Onslaught is so underrated.

[@Peecamarke]

MISSED the rundown! So glad it's back! Rob Corps!

[@TheSucc33d]

Your ad-lib version of the onslaught saga absolutely cracked me up.. well done. I remember really enjoying the series as well when it came out but like you I was quite young.. could say they did know their audience though since enough of us seem to remember it fondly if only at the time heh.

[@GKuriboh]

I want more on the Onslaught Saga

[@MrUnclehouse]

@comicsexplained I enjoyed this video in the way a 15 year old would enjoy hearing about this if it were told to him in person. The editing, the way you spoke, and the slight sarcasm made me feel like you were a kid telling their friend how sweet this comic was. Gave me a good laugh

[@kirbybooten159]

Absolutely LOVED the way you commentated this video!! I wish you’d do all you videos like this!!!!

[@hemot2336]

Dude, you had fun recording this, you can really tell a difference in how you told this story.

[@robhoteling5552]

Man, your opening and closing music is ALWAYS so dope.

[@parsman9914]

Your animated Bishop impression was hilarious! XD

[@kennymorgan2314]

This was the funniest videos you have done Rob. Thanks man

[@mariobrown8185]

thanks Rob for the memories that was literally the last comic book I read before I gave them up

[@krakyr]

I'm glad someone finally covered the onslaught Saga it just felt sloppy though, don't worry you got my like

[@minamirenzo]

never stop doing the rundown its too awesome

[@chuck_jotsugaming6755]

Dude what were you on? Probably one of the best videos I've seen ever.

[@hentia2]

I loved this story when it first came out :)

[@fusiontoa18]

0:53 sheesh Thor looks huge there

[@pandakabob8013]

Rob, this one was great. I love the rundown. You had good timing.

[@chilledandcool3918]

A great story and a great narration by u, Rob! Thank u! I bought all these comics in the 90's n loved this story! Rob, I love ur videos, keep 'em comin'! 😊😊 Thank u 4 ur channel 💞

[@MoistMan772]

Here from 7 years in the future.

[@knicksfule]

I just reread Onslaught for the first time since it came out and honestly, it's pretty damn good. I was shocked. I really enjoyed it.

[@FLUXXEUS]

i loved how you made this video ;)

[@CedKruger]

This rundown was fucking hilarious. Not for the story, but for the commentary. Especially when you were talking about Apocalypse.

[@TheRealSpiderMew]

Yo Rob, you are wrong about the Green Goblin at this time. This was actually when Phil Urich was the Green Goblin and trying to be a Super-Hero. His final issue was fighting the sentinels and bits from an exploding one ruins his mask and gear.

[@LordKohaegan]

I was probably around 15 when I read it too. It's still one of my favorite stories, plus Joe Maduera's art was the best back then.

[@lilnason98]

love the nonchalant way you described this entire video

[@mcmeltdown]

Hell yeah, Rundown is back babbeeee!

[@WerewolfKweef]

I like the idea of Xavier and Magneto fusing into this insane threat though. I'd actually want to see Onslaught in another Xmen/Avengers movie if they make one, even if it is changed and contained only within Xmen, I'd still love to see it.

[@Prodidge88]

your "rundown" videos are fricken hilarious man.

[@Vincentoo7]

Man, Rob... I love the way you paraphrase these quotes hahaha

[@WavyGemini66]

The narration of this is HILARIOUS!!!😂😂😂

[@UnifiedEntity]

OOOOOOOO YES YES YES. Did not have the chance to know this story back in the day because I was so young but heard alot about it and saw images and what not. Then there was Marvel vs Capcom but finally!

[@agoosewithtwohats4443]

FINALLY ! Wanted this for so long

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

BIshop? The mutant _from tha futcha?!_

[@Dylan-ml1np]

the rundown is my favorite thing on this channel

[@avlookingup]

I live for your Rundown videos, Rob!!!

[@vashon51]

probably your funniest video yet lmao

[@graysonred2641]

I really appreciate this format ✊🏾✊🏾

[@hassantheman1017]

Idk y ur old vids r popping up but the delivery u did of this story was hilarious man nice job

[@frasert8779]

This isn’t far one of your funniest videos 😂

[@Jeudaos]

Thank you again rob. GREAT video as always! I love it!

[@assman4319]

DO YOU WANT TO GO KILL PEOPLE. LOL I died

[@JesusSerranoFireandIce]

skankhunt42 hahaha same here

[@ron7929]

love the channel bro, I swear you get super hype and start cracking up, I start cracking up lol.Wassup with the X-Cutioner's Song. Always a personal favorite of mine. keep up the good work

[@ljmoney54]

Awesome video Rob I always like when you talk thru the video like you did with this one THE RUNDOWN

[@RothurThePaladin]

The 90's were a strange time.

[@Mooreeezy]

this is possibly the greatest narrative rob has ever done

[@MarvelMovieFan]

I normally like a video after I have watched all of it but "the few-cha" itself deserves a like.

[@thegorgeousgloriousone9851]

The Rundowns are always awesome

[@otepfan8562]

"my room is a fricken mess" *has two clean dishes and a brand new pan on the table*

[@GraxBishop]

The Rundown is the perfect way to explain the Onslught Saga.

[@chaddixon9764]

Oh my gosh, new logo? World shattered

[@bjudhan]

Hey Rob! this was a great video! great balance of info and jokes! I love your passion for doing this! thanks!

[@-Ryu]

I've met a lot of strong warriors, but fighting Onslaught was an experience I never thought was possible, and have never experienced since. To this day, I'm not sure I would beat him alone.

[@ZayPierre]

Hah! Dude i literally just requested this like a week ago. So cool to know you listen to your audience. Yeah Onslaught saga was major... I never did to read all of the tie ins and stuff, so it was nice to get a recap. Youre right in that ultimately it didnt amount to much, but overall the character was so badass the he always goes down as one of the top badass villians. Def worth the discussion. Thanks Rob!
