90s X-Men

Onslaught — Core Event (1996)

The Avengers and Fantastic Four sacrifice themselves to destroy Onslaught. Heroes Reborn begins (skip those books entirely). The world blames mutants for the heroes' deaths. Anti-mutant hysteria reaches a new peak. The event is overblown but the X-Men-specific aftermath is genuinely interesting.
