Franklin Richards, earth's mightiest heroes, and a villain with a severe dental problem

Onslaught Reborn is a limited series by Rob Liefeld, where Onslaught comes into existence once again. Trying to kill Franklin Richards, he pursues him into the Heroes Reborn reality, that Franklin had created.


Onslaught Reborn provides examples of:

  • Character Shilling: All of Bucky's lines are praises and praises to Captain America, and then even more praises. In the actual action, he is just someone else among the others.
  • Continuity Snarl: You would think that, writing a 4-issues limited series set in a 12-issues limited series created by himself, Rob Liefeld surely wouldn't make many mistakes, right? Think again: there are so many cases, they have their own page.
  • Hand Wave: If Wanda said "No More Mutants", how come that she actually resurrected a mutant? Oh, sure, the "she was crazy" wildcard.
  • He's Back!: Onslaught is back
  • Let's You and Him Fight: Onslaught zapps both Hulk and Thor and makes them fight (while still controlling all of each one's actions), just to decide which one is stronger.
  • The Load: The whole story is about heroes trying to protect Franklin from being killed by Onslaught.
  • New Powers as the Plot Demands: With his mind zapped by Onslaught, the Human Torch attacks the Thing with... fire vision??
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Besides depowering most mutants in the world at the end of House of M, the Scarlet Witch recreated Onslaught.
  • Only the Chosen May Wield: Thor can not lift the hammer if he's mind controlled by an evil villain.
  • Proscenium Reveal: When he first appears, Franklin is in the Negative Zone, escaping from Blaastar, and helped by the Thing. It was actually a video game.
  • There Are No Global Consequences: It turned out that all the people in that world are just distorted reflections of other people, as imagined by an all-powerful kid. And nobody seems to be very troubled about that notion.
  • There Are No Police: Worse than that: there's nobody else besides the heroes and villains. Check with detail, you will not find a single unnamed character in the background, such as citizens fleeing in terror or being disturbed by the superhero fights.
  • This Cannot Be!
    Onslaught: You?! But... there are no mutants on this world!
    Wolverine: Tell that to the Scarlet Witch, bub
