yeah I never knew why the writers at marvel didn't do more with Franklin's character. he was the perfect bridge between the marvel hero universe, and the combined, yet in actuality stand alone marvel mutant universe. also as far as mutant enemies to this day I have a deep seated ,fanatical, bordering on festering mental issue hatred for the Onslaught character. I mean wtf was he supposed to be/or mean to the mutant storyline? what a got damn waste. and while we're on this topic Stryfe was a waste too. the whole "Executioners Song" crossover was wasted as him being the main villain.
and before you refute my last two assertions. I just want to say I'm right, and you're wrong.
It's because god characters are boring and the Fantastic Four doesn't age enough to let Nathaniel Richards become a grown man.
When they brought him in as Psi Lord no one liked him, so they can't even do the Cable thing and bring him back from the future.
Also: I am so glad to finally meet someone else besides myself who recognizes that Marvel more or less has two simultaneous universes running. The world of Marvel super heroes, and the world of Marvel mutants. They effectively exist in different worlds, as virtually no X-story ever has any influence on the events in the super hero ones, and vice versa. They come together awkwardly at best.
Onslaught was horrific beyond words. I agree with you on that. I also would say that Onslaught marked the absolute end of Marvel's run as a great comics company, especially in regards to art quality. Art wise, Marvel turned to absolute SHIT at the time of Onslaught. Just uterly horrific art in most of their books, but especially the X-Verse.
I disagree on X-Ecutioners song, though: That really set the stage for some great Cable and X-Force stories for a long while, and it was extremely well done as a crossover event in X-history. However, X-Tinction Agenda was even cooler, and that came the year before.
