Juggernaut
Juggernaut is a comic book character that first appeared in X-Men #12
Cain Marko, also known as the Unstoppable Juggernaut, has been a member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, and of the X-men. He is the step-brother of X-men founder Charles Xavier, powered by the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak which grants him great near unlimited durability and strength.
Origin
Cain Marko's mom died when he was young and he was raised by his abusive father. With the (questionable) death of his father's colleague, Dr. Brian Xavier, Cain's father married Xavier's widow, Sharon. They moved into the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning in Westchester, New York. Cain was a bully to Sharon's son, Professor X, due to the fact that his father clearly favored him over Cain. When Charles' mutant ability to read minds developed, he was able to feel Cain's jealousy of him and Cain, aware of what happened, was not pleased with the inadvertent invasion of privacy. During an argument with his father, Cain accidentally started a fire in his father's lab. The fire soon grew out of control and Cain's father, once again, showed his preference for Charles when he saved him first. After going back for Cain, he died of smoke inhalation.
The Temple of Cyttorak
Revenge
Trapped in a Dimension
Whilst in the Crimson Cosmos, Juggernaut managed to pick up some magical skills. Doctor Strange ended up saving him when he needed his help to defeat Nightmare, but Juggernaut accidentally freed Eternity, who then banished him to yet another dimension, called Oblivion. In Oblivion, time moved faster than normal, making people age quicker there, the only antidote to which is pure hatred. Juggernaut managed to cross over to Earth eventually, where he fought Beast, but when Beast took off Juggernaut's helmet Juggernaut began to fear being defeated more than his hatred. He sudden aged rapidly, and so went back to Oblivion to speed up his remaining lifespan. The dimension itself had tired of Juggernaut, and so offered to him that if he gave up the magic skills he had learned in the Crimson Cosmos, he could be sent back to Earth. Naturally Juggernaut agreed, and materialized right in the middle of a fight between the Hulk and the U.S. Army. The two originally teamed up, but when Hulk saw Juggernaut endangering innocent lives, he fought against him. The match was a stalemate until the X-Men arrived and Professor X used his powers on Juggernaut, who had lost his helmet during the fight.
Black Tom
Back in Town
The first thing Juggernaut did once he was out of the cement was enter his favourite bar for a drink. Whilst he did so, a dark-haired woman approached him and started flirting heavily with him. Juggernaut was unaware that this woman was the immortal Selene, who was planning to drain Juggernaut's energy as her next victim. Before she could complete her plan, Colossus, who was coincidentally in the same bar, accidentally spilled his drink over Juggernaut. Juggernaut and Colossus got into a fight, with Juggernaut being the victor. When he saw the rest of the X-Men though, he gave them some money to cover the damages then left, not wanting any more trouble.
For Black Tom's birthday, Juggernaut gave him the Crimson Gem of Cytorrak which had originally granted him his powers. When Tom touched the gift he transformed into a second Juggernaut, although both him and Cain had only half the power as Cain had when he was the only Juggernaut. Both Cain and Tom had a short fight which was soon interrupted by Spider-Man and the X-Men. The heroes managed to defeat the villains by having Rogue drain Tom's powers, which then went to Cain when he touched the Crimson Gem a second time. In case of someone else draining his power by touching the Gem, Juggernaut threw it into space so that no one could get it.
A Member of the X-Men
The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants
Juggernaut would apparently betray the X-Men by joining Black Tom Cassidy's new Brotherhood Of Evil Mutants, but he was only spying on them with the intent to warn the X-Men. But Sammy, not aware of what Juggernaut was doing, stumbled upon the group and was devastated that Juggernaut would betray everyone. Black Tom Cassidy killed Sammy, which caused Juggernaut to go into a murderous rampage towards his former friend. Eventually the 2nd Xorn would suck the Brotherhood into his black hole, in which Juggernaut willingly leapt into to protect Nocturne, another spy.
Excalibur
Juggernaut then joined the British super team, Excalibur, along with Nocturne with whom he developed a very strong bond with. Nocturne has displayed some romantic feelings for him, but he has yet to return them. Cain has been suffering from depression due to his loss of power, and has recently retrieved the gem of Cyttorak. In doing so, Cain has also discovered that it was never Cyttorak's intention to use Cain as his avatar, but the true target was his brother Charles Xavier. Cain was upset about the fact that it was meant for Charles and not him. He fought with another possible Juggernaut to for the right to claim the Gem. Only when one was dead could one of them take the Gem and the power. Excalibur came to take him home before he landed the killing blow. Cain told Excalibur he had not taken the Gem. So he was allowed to remain on the team. But it is shown that he had it in his possession.
World War Hulk
A Battle Between Brothers
Most recently Juggernaut held a bar hostage waiting for Charles Xavier to meet him. After a brief discussion on the origin of the word "Juggernaut" and Cain killing a bar patron at random. Cain tells Charles that he is going to kill him. So he gives Cain a box that is to be opened after his death. After Cain kills his Step-Brother he goes on with his life as he always has. Robbing banks, fighting the X-Men etc. Until he decides to open the box. And sees himself lying in bed sleeping. It was all an illusion. Xavier was in his head the entire time. He did this for the simple fact that he knew Cain would kill him if he appeared in person.
Powers
Juggernaut is powered by the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, which is a conduit Cyttorak uses to channel his magical energies into his avatar.. With it he has immense strength that far exceeds the ability to lift 100 tons, and is, for all intents and purposes, immune to physical harm. He can also generate a force-field around his body for further protection, and virtually nothing except himself can stop him once he started moving. He can also summon mystical armor at will. This armor is as invulnerable as he is, except for his helmet.
His body can be harmed by magic of sufficient strength, but he heals instantaneously. He is also fully sustained by Cyttorak's mystical energies, making it so that he never requires food, water, oxygen, or rest. He can even function as a skeleton.
The clothes and armor he wears are made of mystical materials from the Crimson Cosmos, they are very durable and can be summoned at will. The helmet also shields Juggernaut from psionics, Juggernaut's only real weakness.
The full potential of Juggernaut's abilities are unknown even to himself, but he inadvertently displayed various magical abilities that he didn't know how to replicate, such as: altering the size of matter, growing in size, tracking, levitation, absorbing energy, projecting energy, increasing his own strength, and creating portals.
For a short while, Juggernaut had some magic skills, but the consciousness of the dimension of Oblivion itself (which he was stuck in at the time) let him return to Earth in return for the magic skills he had learnt.
