His story arc came well after I stopped reading X-Men and I have yet to felt the desire to read it.

Not missing a thing. The Onslaught storyline, Spider Clone Saga and “Venom eats chocolate to avoid eating brains” were three of the catalysts that weened me from comics after being a hardcore reader from the 80’s thru the 90’s, and much of the back catalog too. The X-Men were already more Dark Shadows camp soap opera than they were in the earlier days, but Onslaught right after AOA just was too much cheese for me. Around the same time was the Peter Parker’s parents/clone saga and its many retcons and so many other ridiculous tabloid-like storylines.

I haven’t touched a comicbook since. Wasn’t until the movies I started paying attention to super heroes again. I know people love hating the movie adaptations of storylines, but so far I’ve enjoyed the movies over the books in every instance, with the sole exception being Doctor Doom’s portrayal in the movies.
