Character's History
When Cain Marko and stepbrother Charles Xavier serve in the US Army and are stationed in Korea, Marko finds a hidden temple dedicated to the entity Cyttorak. On entering Marko finds and holds a huge ruby, and reads the inscription on the gem aloud: "Whosoever touches this gem shall be granted the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! Henceforth, you who read these words, shall become ... forevermore ... a human juggernaut!" The gem channels Cyttorak's power into Marko. The transformation causes a cave-in, with the character buried and presumably killed, not being heard from again until a sudden assault on the X-Men's headquarters.
Xavier recounts the Juggernaut's origin to the X-Men, and after shrugging off the mansion's defenses and brushing aside the X-Men, Marko is clearly seen in the final panel as he confronts Xavier. The X-Men regroup and attack, while Xavier summons Fantastic Four member the Human Torch to aid the mutants, the Torch generating 'pulses' of flame that essentially hypnotize the Juggernaut, distracting him long enough for the Angel to remove his helmet, making Marko susceptible to a telepathic attack by Xavier.[5]
The Juggernaut returns seeking revenge, and is delayed by three of the X-Men while Cyclops and Marvel Girl - aided by the astral form of mystic Doctor Strange - find and use another gem of Cyttorak, which banishes the Juggernaut to the "Crimson Cosmos", the home dimension of Cyttorak.[6] When the Juggernaut reappears the character has gained mystical abilities and briefly battles the mystic Doctor Strange before being banished to an alternate universe by the cosmic entity Eternity.[7]
[edit] 1970sThe character reappears on Earth through sheer force of will, although the alien dimension is causing the Juggernaut to age rapidly, with the panicking villain battling the former X-Man the Beast before being drawn back to the same dimension.[8] The Juggernaut is accidentally pulled back to Earth at the Hulkbuster base by an interdimensional device designed to banish the Hulk. The Juggernaut explains to the Hulk in a flashback sequence how an entity from his prison dimension reversed the aging process and removed the mystical powers on the proviso that the villain never return. The Hulk aids the Juggernaut in escaping from the base, but attacks when the Juggernaut threatens a civilian. During the battle the Juggernaut's helmet is removed, and he is surprised and defeated by Professor X, Cyclops, and Marvel Girl.[9]
The Juggernaut reappears with Black Tom Cassidy, the cousin of X-Man Banshee, and battles the first generation of new X-Men. The Juggernaut escapes when Tom apparently falls to his death after a sword duel with Banshee.[10]
[edit] 1980sBlack Tom uses his niece Siryn - who possesses the same powers as her father Banshee - to steal a shipment of the metal vibranium. The Juggernaut battles heroine Spider-Woman and the X-Men when they discover the truth, and escapes when Black Tom is arrested and Siryn is placed in the care of her father.[11] After his escape from prison, Black Tom decides the psychic Madame Web could be useful in his criminal pursuits. On arriving in New York City, Tom sends the Juggernaut to capture Madame Web, with the villain destroying several city blocks and ignoring Spider-Man's best efforts to stop him. The Juggernaut almost kills Web when accidentally removing her from a life support device, and decides to abandon her. A frustrated Spider-Man eventually lures the Juggernaut into setting concrete, into which he sinks without a trace;[12] it is subsequently revealed that he took over a month to dig his way out.[volume & issue needed]
The Juggernaut, in civilian guise, has a bar fight with the X-Man Colossus, who is at first unaware of the villain's true identity.[13] After another battle against Spider-Man and the X-Men,[14] the Juggernaut encounters the futuristic Sentinel Nimrod, who humiliates and defeats the villain.[15] The Juggernaut is also one of the villains assembled to battle the cosmic entity the Beyonder.[16] The Juggernaut battles an all-new generation of X-Men,[17] appears in a flashback story with the original X-Men,[18] and has a humorous encounter with Captain Britain.[19]
The Juggernaut also participates in the Acts of Vengeance storyline, battling the Thunder God Thor and teen superteam the New Warriors.[20]
[edit] 1990sThe Juggernaut continues to feature prominently in Marvel titles, starring in an alternate universe adventure,[21] battling Thor once again [22] and starring opposite other characters such as the mutant team X-Force,[23] Doctor Strange,[24] the Hulk (allied at the time with master villain the Red Skull and tricking and capturing the Hulk with the same "civilian" guise used against Colossus),[25] mercenary Deadpool,[26] the villain turned antihero Venom,[27] and multiple battles with the X-Men.[28] The Juggernaut suffers a major setback during the Onslaught storyline, being defeated and then humiliated by the entity when imprisoned in the Gem of Cyttorak. The character, however, eventually manages to escape.[29]
The character also stars in a solo story[30] and the "Eighth Day" storyline, which introduces the entities the Exemplars. The Juggernaut and seven other humans are revealed to have all been empowered and corrupted by mystical entities, and as avatars enforce their will on Earth.[31] The Juggernaut resists the influence of Cyttorak and when captured by other Exemplars is aided by the superhero team the Avengers. Leader Captain America convinces the other Exemplars that they have been manipulated by the mystical entities, who then decide to leave Earth.[32]
[edit] 2000sThe Juggernaut, courtesy of a ruse engineered by Black Tom Cassidy, eventually allies with and joins the X-Men, the plan being to destroy the team from within. When Cassidy openly betrays the Juggernaut, Marko decides to remain with the X-Men and attempt to change his ways.[33] The Juggernaut befriends a young mutant boy called Sammy Paré, who helps Marko reform,[34] despite setbacks such as a battle with the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight.[35] When Paré, however, discovers that Black Tom Cassidy is preparing to attack the X-Men's headquarters, he is killed. An enraged Juggernaut attacks Cassidy and his allies, with the battle stranding all participants in the alternate dimension the Mojoverse.[36]
The Juggernaut reappears and joins the team New Excalibur for a brief period. One storyline expands on the Juggernaut's origin, and reveals that Marko is only the most recent of a series of incarnations of Cyttorak's avatar, with each battling a challenger to the death for the right to retain the entity's power.[37] During the World War Hulk storyline, the Juggernaut's power begins to wane, but by shunning his stepbrother Xavier and returning to his villainous origin is able to restore the link with Cyttorak, becoming powerful enough to hold his own against the Hulk.[38] Despite an attempt by Xavier to reform Marko, he concedes that redemption is impossible.[39]
[edit] 2010sWhile training his son Skaar, Bruce Banner bombs Juggernaut's house to initiate a confrontation between Skaar and the Juggernaut.[40] Skaar manages to win his first fight by throwing the Juggernaut into open space, proving to his father he has the ability to cunningly use his physical strength.[41]
During The Gauntlet storyline, Spider-Man finds the Juggernaut unconscious. The government comes along and transports the Juggernaut to a secure facility. Spider-Man sneaks into the facility to ask the Juggernaut who did this to him. Then a new Captain Universe breaks into the room and claims he's there to slay the Juggernaut.[42] Spider-Man learns that Captain Universe is a man named William Nguyen who wants revenge on Juggernaut for ruining his life during one of his rampages.[43] When he insists on trying to kill Juggernaut instead of fixing the tectonic plates beneath New York City, the Uni-Power leaves Nguyen and enters the Juggernaut. The Juggernaut, as Captain Universe, repairs the damage to the tectonic plates that was caused by him during the same rampage that ruined Nguyen's life.[44]
Following the Siege storyline, Juggernaut is shown at The Raft at the start of the Heroic Age storyline - weakened, since Cyttorak apparently took his temporary empowerment by the Uni-Power, as an affront; and withheld part of his "blessing". Following Luke Cage's appointment as leader of the Thunderbolts, Cain is brought up for suggestion for the program. While Cage is initially against him joining, Professor X telepathically contacts Luke and asks him to reconsider, believing he has a chance at redemption despite what he previously told Cain. Juggernaut agrees to do whatever Luke says, partly because he is now suffused with nanomachines which can affect him in his weakened state
