Seems unlikely if it has a different primary name: that would require new constraints in the character selection logic that don't currently exist.
As far as comics logic goes, isn't Onslaught an independent entity to Xavier and Magneto these days?

I am not sure the attack tile will be worth it but avoiding Apocalypse black/red or BRB green and having such high health can be useful. If the attack tiles are 1 per trap then not bad. If it is just 1 then not so much especially since Kitty can remove a fortified attack tiles.(Side rant about trap tiles: in the 5* tier can trap tiles please fire when destroyed by match 4/5 when a row or column is destroyed. It will make trap tiles so much better in the game)green feels like an anti Okoye. This should lead to great board shake. It makes me feel like Professor X will pair well. Imagine the damage done on the first match 4. Or pair with IHulk and after all the TU are gone it will be hard to remove Green.blue looks creative??? I think this power is to help against BRB teams with all the protect tiles. I feel like a Hell Cat Purple TU would greatly help this power. On its own it might be more situational.Can’t wait for official damage numbers to come out

I think this power is to help against BRB teams with all the protect tiles. I feel like a Hell Cat Purple TU would greatly help this power. On its own it might be more situational.Can’t wait for official damage numbers to come out I'm shocked that a character with the potential for Invisibility also has high health. These usually do not coincide. BRB's green can still hit invisible characters IF you have another target-able ally. If this new character is the last teammate remaining and invisible, BRB can't fire his green. But, he'll just wait until one of you matches a trap, and then it's bang x4. Bill will be able to fire his blue for the protects while you're invisible solo, but at least you can avoid that OP damage. The Attack tile you gain from a trap being matched had better be strong instead of 'moderate'. This will be quite easily countered by enemy Kitty, BRB, anyway.I wish this characters blue would "Remove enemy special tiles in the chosen row & column, then convert ... colors..".That way you could avoid matching BRB's protects which gains them AP. But when played at the right time, this character's blue could be excellent. Let team up tiles gather on the board then play this when you are certain to get a match-4 from the color conversion. You will be well served to know the enemy teams weakest color before starting so that you ensure to bring a character that can make good use of gaining that AP. There's 15 tiles in a full Row-Column cross, so you can expect to change only 2 or hopefully 3-4 tiles on an average board. It will help if you've gotten many TU's removed prior to this.We also NEED another 5* character that has the ability to remove enemy CD's. Come on, this could have been it!Otherwise he looks very interesting, but not a speed team component at all. I do value the puzzle style tactics that he seems to bring to the battle.
HoundofShadow said: Since so many people are guessing Onslaught and it does look like Onslaught, I'll be surprised if Prof X doesn't appear in his special store. Sometimes it's fun to guess who will appear in 5* special stores. It seems like they are encouraging players to play with rainbow team. First Yelena. Then this guy.We have Onslaught (likely), Apocalypse and Thanos in MPQ now. What other mainstream villians the likes of these three do we have left?Edit: I just realised he makes a rainbow team with Apocalypse

I think they'll be very dangerous with Profe$$or X, particularly if that <affiliations> turns out to be X-Men The affiliation will more likely be Mutants since they are a villain. This means with Apocalypse you have 2 84k health characters where one can go invisible and the other cannot be stunned.
