Hell, they're rehashing Age of Apocalypse, so why not Onslaught?

Read the UXM #9 Preview thread...they just did an Onslaught rehash...in the AOA rehash.

Here I was thinking that there couldn't be an Onslaught rehash because you need a more heroic Xavier for it to have any impact than the Charles we have had (barring a short period of being dead) for the last decade and a half.

"Oh, no! Our saintly mentor has become a villain!" carries a bit more weight than "Oh, look. Our barely better than the other villains former mentor has decided to go full villain. Again."

the "mentor" could be exchanged for any of the Xmen really. The only ones that haven't gone evil are Rogue & Storm

Rogue started out that way, so it's pretty much just Storm. Except now she's become a Horseman, so even she is no longer an exception. Which senior X-Men have taken a turn on the other side?

Each xman has had a few rounds of being the "villain" or the threat to the team. It's been a LONG LONG time for Rogue there was that "gloves are off" story arc.

Except Nightcrawler.

In a round-about way they made him darker in the X-force story where his AOA counterpart came and killed Blob & Iceman.

Even the original Mutant X version of Bloodstorm wasn't completely bad.

There are just so many unused ideas and we keep getting the same ideas over and over.

Nightcrawler and Rogue (and a bunch of other X-Men) were both inverted during Sixis.

[Triniking1234]

Nah. Counting AXIS as a villain turn would be like counting Infinity Crusade.

Alternate reality versions don't count as a hero becoming a villain. I don't think mind-control counts either. Storm was just turned into a hound in the very recent Extermination. Rogue was a villain during the Muir Island Saga. Claremont wrote mind control into almost every one of his stories, so all of the senior X-men have been mind-controlled at some point.

I'm not talking about mind control...i'm talking Dark Phoenix, Onslaught level villains...which is what I responded to in the thread.

He was one of the first "Surprise! Now one of Ahab's hounds!" reveals in Extermination.
