Paul, the Ox, Gutbrod was a football prodigy, his father played in the CFL (Canadian Football League) and he was the starting nose tackle on the 1992 Penn State Nitney Lions. He was an all-american and a lock for the NFL. Then he killed a man in a bar fight and was sentenced to 10-20 years. During his prison term he met and befriended a number of underworld figures. When he got out on parole, he didn't try to regain his football glory; all the hangers on from his college days abandonded him when he went to prison. He fell in with the criminals who befriended him. After spending a few years as a goon he hit the big time, and joined ARGENT's security, Paul was much smarter than he appeared and was a capbable agent. Paul was eventually given the opporotunity to enter the big leagues of crime, super villainy. He volunteered for a gene splicing experiment and was transformed into the physical juggernaut known as Onslaught. Paul left ARGENT on good terms. The treatment was a success but had proven difficult (if not impossible) to duplicate; leading some of the scientists to believe they had merely activated latent mutant powers in Paul. Unwilling at this time to build a supervillain army (it was something that the relatively underground ARGENT found "too public"), ARGENT signed Paul to a mercenary contract, allowing him to work off the cost of the treatment. Once a free agent; Paul found that he didn't like being a single criminal, all of his life had been focused around teamwork and he found he needed it. When the opporotunity to join a team of costumed villains was presented, Onslaught jumped at it. Paul is a relatively level headed and "normal" criminal. He had always felt he was above the law. His life had been one lesson of entitlement after another as he was pushed through school unchallenged and given lighter punishments due to his skill as an athlete. He gets along with his fellow Elite, is impressed by his boss, Overmind, and never gives his orders a second thought. Although used to violence and kind of thuggish in outlook, Onslaught isn't a cold blooded murderer. He would kill to save his own life or that of an ally but he doesn't kill for fun. "Prepare to be blitzed little man." Onslaught is built to be a low level force of nature, barriers don't stop him, attacks don't slow him down. He seems, at times unstoppable. He is used to fighting other bricks, and enjoys the challenge. Thug with out mental baggage and a team oriented outlook. 6'7'' 500lbs wall of muscle and sinew. Costume consists of black tee-style top, with white lightning bolt on chest, white, hockey-style mask with eyes and mouth, Black cowl, white pants, black boots and bracers with metal studs.
