    One of the X-Men's Most Memorable Battles

    No Caption Provided

    This issue is pretty much an all-out battle between The X-Men and The Juggernaut inside the X-Men's mansion. There are a handful of minor quibbles here, including editorial mistakes like Marvel Girl referring to her telekinesis as 'teleportation' (again), and an annoying (but thankfully brief) cameo by the 'Teen Brigade', oh, and a Danger Room door made out of wood... but overall, this issue is about action - a non-stop battle - and as such, it's better than most issues.

    The Juggernaut is loose in the mansion. The X-Men fight a delaying action while Professor X supercharges his own powers. The professor also manages to contact the Human Torch to supplement the team.

    Ultimately, like most early issues of The X-Men, Marvel Girl is under-utilized, and Angel is over-utilized; it's especially apparent in this battle where the final defeat of the Juggernaut is largely thanks to The Beast and Angel when Marvel Girl could have accomplished the same feat much easier via telekinesis.

    Still, the X-Men's first fight with Juggernaut is probably one of the most memorable battles in their history.

He is the third such foe in this title alone, following the Blob and Unus.  His visuals aren't particularly impressive, unless you enjoy seeing guys in tight shorts. Most of his dialogue is trash-talk.    Unlike the Blog, Jug is relatively easy to move. Back in #7, Jean nearly exhausted herself to barely manage to lif...

      The unstoppable Juggernaut versus a cripple in a wheel chair? Who you got?Dammit Stan! You can't even be bothered to proof read your own writing can you? Don't give me any crap...Liquid Paper was invented in 1955 so you don't have any excuses. PROOF READ YOUR SHIT! Hehe...even as I write the in all caps, I realize that I barely, if ever proof read my writing. Then again, I'm not getting paid for this either. So, Stan forgets that Jean is a telekinetic and a telepath, and writes the word "telepor...
