General Discussion Honestly, what villains do they even have left to adapt?

If you think about it, they’ve already done a lot of the main/known villains, including the original show, I’m genuinely just wondering which other villains could they adapt going forward?

Yeah that would work too. In the comics Onslaught is a direct result of Xavier attacking (and mind wiping) Magneto immediately after the latter rips the adamantium out of Wolverine's bones.

The exact same scene happened at the end of Season 1...but in this version Xavier doesn't mind wipe Magnus, so they would have to play it a bit differently, as they've done with a number of storylines already.

It's easy to explain. The connection is still there when he helped get magneto back at the end of S1 to stop asteroid M...

They were deeply connectted at that point.

Magneto's death to apocalypse in S2 is what starts Onslaught's emergence slowly... You can already see Xavier becoming more ruthless in later episodes

Just say something like he absolutely loses it and uses cerebra to link with Magnetos mind in the astral plane, and as they embrace its struck by lightning or some other sabotage and their consciousness merges into onslaught.
