=== Origin ===
Writer [[Mike Conroy]] stated "The characters who debuted during the early years of Marvel's mutant X-Men have been remarkably long-lived, and Cain Marko is no exception."<ref>Conroy, Mike. ''500 Comicbook Villains'', Collins & Brown, 2004.</ref>

⚫
The character debuted as the Juggernaut in the title ''[[X-Men]]'', and throughout the first issue of the story rampages largely unseen through the X-Men's defences while [[Professor X]] relates the villain's origin in a series of [[flashback]] sequences to the team. Marko is the step-brother of Charles Xavier, and developed an intense dislike for his sibling which was only exacerbated when Xavier's mutant abilities began to develop. While the pair are serving in the [[US Army]] and stationed in [[Korea]], Marko finds a hidden temple dedicated to entity [[Cyttorak]]. On entering Marko finds and holds a huge [[ruby]], and reads an inscription on the gem aloud: {{cquote|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 Cyrrorak's power into Marko, transforming him into what Xavier - witnessing the event - calls a "human Juggernaut".

As the Juggernaut, the character has evolved from outright villain<ref>''X-Men'' #12 - 13 (July & Sep. 1965)</ref> to relucant ally<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #410 - 411 (Oct. 2002); #412 (Nov. 2002)</ref> and finally solitary outsider.<ref>''X-Men: Legacy'' #219 (Feb. 2009)</ref> The character is the focus of a story in the [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate universe]] title ''[[What If (comics)|What If]]?'' #13 (May 1990) and has also starred in two solo titles: the one-shot ''Juggernaut'' #1 (April 1997) and ''Juggernaut: The Eighth Day'' #1 (Nov. 1999).

==Fictional character biography==
The Juggernaut has evolved from a simplistic, destructive villain to a complex and at times even heroic character. When Juggernaut first appears, he is revealed as the stepbrother of [[Professor X|Charles Xavier]], founder of the X-Men. Marko is portrayed, in his initial appearance, as having been an angry, greedy bully as a child.<ref name="uncannyxmen12">''Uncanny X-Men'' #12, 1965, Marvel Comics, writer Stan Lee</ref> Later comics revealed that Marko was also bullied by his older, larger schoolmates<ref name=MTU150>''[[Marvel Team-Up]]'' #150</ref> and physically abused by his father, and established his hatred of Xavier as coming from his resentment over how Xavier used his powers to get ahead. While serving together in the [[Korean War]], Cain and Charles stumbled onto the ancient temple of [[Cyttorak]], lost for centuries. On an altar Cain saw the [[Crimson Gem of Cyttorak]], and immediately grabbed it. Upon the gem was an inscription, and he read it 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!". When Cain grabbed it, the cavern collapsed. Charles was able to escape, but it took Cain years to dig himself out. Upon escaping, he sought revenge on Xavier.<ref name="uncannyxmen12" />


=== 1990s to Present ===
Although he was originally an X-Men villain, he also appeared in stories with other heroes of the [[Marvel Universe]], such as [[Spider-Man]], [[Eddie Brock|Venom]], the [[Avengers (comics)|Avengers]], [[Deadpool (comics)|Deadpool]], and the [[Hulk (comics)|Incredible Hulk]].
The Juggernaut continues to feature prominently in Marvel titles, starring in [[Parallel universe (fiction)|alternate universe]] adventure;<ref>''What If?'' #13 (May 1990)</ref> battling Thor once again <ref>''Thor'' #429 (Feb. 1991)</ref> and starring opposite other characters such as the mutant team [[X-Force]];<ref>''X-Force'' #2 - 5 (Sep. - Dec. 1991)</ref> Doctor Strange;<ref>''Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme'' #44 (Aug. 1992)</ref> 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);<ref>''Hulk'' #402 - 403 (Feb. - March 1993)</ref> [[mercenary]] [[Deadpool (comics)|Deadpool]];<ref>''Deadpool: The Circle Chase'' #1 - 2 (Sep. - Aug. 1993)</ref> the villain turned anti-hero [[Venom (Marvel Comics)|Venom]]<ref>''Venom: The Madness'' #1 - 2 (Nov. - Dec. 1993)</ref> and multiple battles with the X-Men.<ref>''X-Men: The Early Years'' #12 - 13 (April - May 1995); ''X-Men'' #334 (July 1996)</ref> 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.

In a later storyline, the Juggernaut joined the X-Men. Initially this was part of a scheme with Black Tom Cassidy to destroy them from within, but after Cassidy turned on the Juggernaut, Xavier asked his stepbrother to return with them to the mansion.<ref name="uncannyxmen410">''Uncanny X-Men #410–412'', 2002, Marvel Comics, writer [[Chuck Austen]]</ref> While at the mansion, Juggernaut began to change when he befriended a young mutant boy from Canada named [[Sammy Paré]] particularly as both had similar backgrounds, including an abusive father.<ref name="uncannyxmen413">''Uncanny X-Men #413'', 2002, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref><ref name="uncannyxmen416">''Uncanny X-Men #416'', 2003, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref> Over time he began to be portrayed as a more sympathetic character, though he still retained his violent streak, attacking Sammy's abusive father at one point, and subsequently getting into a large and destructive fight with the superhero team [[Alpha Flight]] that led to his arrest.<ref name="uncannyxmen432">''Uncanny X-Men #432-434'', 2003-04, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref> Due to stopping another supervillain from escaping, staying when he had the chance to escape himself, and the intervention of Sammy's mother, he was released.
The 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.<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #410 - 411 (Oct. 2002); #412 (Nov. 2002)</ref> The Juggernaut befriends a young mutant boy called [[Sammy Paré]], who helps Marko reform,<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #413 (Nov. 2002)</ref> despite setbacks such as a battle with the [[Canada|Canadian]] superhero team [[Alpha Flight]].<ref>''Uncanny X-Men'' #432 (Dec. 2003); #433 - 434 (Jan. 2004)</ref> 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 [[Mojo (comics)|Mojoverse]].<ref>''X-Men'' #162 - 164 (Nov. 2004 - Jan. 2005)</ref>


The Juggernaut reappears and joins the team ''[[Excalibur (comics)#New Excalibur (2005-2007)|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.<ref>''New Excalibur'' #13 - 15 (Jan. - March 2007)</ref> During the ''[[World War Hulk]]'' storyline, the Juggernaut's power begins to wane, but by shunning his step-brother Xavier and returning to his villainous origin is able to restore the link with Cyttorak.<ref>''World War Hulk; X-Men'' #1 - 3 (Aug. - Oct. 2007)</ref> Despite an attempt by Xavier to reform Marko, he concedes that redemption is impossible.<ref>''X-Men: Legacy'' #219 (Feb. 2009)</ref>
Juggernaut was seemingly working with [[Black Tom Cassidy]]'s Brotherhood of Mutants, where he met his future teammate Talia Josephine Wagner ([[Nocturne (comics)|Nocturne]]). While plotting to attack the [[X-Mansion]], Sammy Paré, aka Squidboy, found out what was going on and was killed by Black Tom. Enraged by having seen his friend murdered, Juggernaut started attacking the Brotherhood.<ref name="xmen162">''X-Men'' #162, 2005, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref> During the attack, Black Tom's plant form took over most of the grounds of the X-Mansion.<ref name="xmen163">''X-Men'' #163, 2005, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref> The only way to stop the attack was for the entirety of Black Tom, along with Juggernaut and Nocturne who were both stuck in his grasp, to be sucked into the portal in [[Xorn]]'s head,<ref name="xmen164">''X-Men'' #164, 2005, Marvel Comics, writer Chuck Austen</ref> leaving them stranded in the [[Mojo (comics)|Mojoverse]].

Upon leaving the X-Men, Juggernaut joined the [[Excalibur (comics)#New Excalibur (2005-2007)|New Excalibur]] team in [[London]].<ref name="newexcalibur1">''New Excalibur'' #1, 2006, Marvel Comics, writer Chris Claremont</ref> In one storyline, the Juggernaut seeks to reclaim his lost power by traveling to the Temple of Cyttorak in Korea. He kills his challenger and reclaims the Gem. This story expands on the origin of the character, establishing that there were other Juggernauts before him, and revealing that he killed his predecessor before seeking his initial revenge on Xavier.<ref>''New Excalibur'' #13-15</ref>

In the course of the ''[[World War Hulk]]'' storyline, Juggernaut, whose powers have been weakening, is informed by Cyttorak that he must personally desire and embrace the destructive nature of his power for it to return, instead of simply wanting that power to be a defender of his stepbrother. Upon doing so, Cain's power is restored and he fights the Hulk on even terms. At last Hulk uses Cain's own unstoppable momentum to carry him off into a nearby lake. After the Hulk leaves, Cain dismisses Xavier's attempts to thank him for his aid, and warns that nobody should come looking for him after he leaves, lest they not like what they find.<ref>''World War Hulk: X-Men'' #3 (pg 26–27)</ref>

Subsequently, in ''X-Men Legacy'', Xavier seeks out the Juggernaut in an attempt to reform him and gain lost memories. Cain rebuffs Xavier, saying that he chose to be the Juggernaut again, and that he regretted trying to be like Xavier. After the encounter, Xavier acknowledges that redemption is not possible for Cain.<ref>''X-Men: Legacy'' #219</ref>

In order to train [[Skaar]], Bruce Banner ends up blowing up Juggernaut's house. This causes Juggernaut to seek out Bruce Banner for revenge. Skaar initially refuses and leaves Juggernaut to beat on Bruce, annoyed that he is unable to penetrate his shield, Bruce is no match for him until Skaar eventually joins the fight. Juggernaut is then thrown into space.<ref>''Incredible Hulk'' #602</ref>

The Juggernaut (Cain Marko) is a fictional character that appears in publications published by Marvel Comics. The character first appeared in X-Men #12 (July 1965), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby.

Debuting in the Silver Age of comic books, the character has appeared in over four decades of Marvel publications, featuring prominently in the X-Men titles and starring in two one-shot titles. The character has also been associated with Marvel merchandise including clothing; toys; trading cards; animated television series; video games and a feature film.

Publication history

Origin

Writer Mike Conroy stated "The characters who debuted during the early years of Marvel's mutant X-Men have been remarkably long-lived, and Cain Marko is no exception."[1]

The character debuted as the Juggernaut in the title X-Men, and throughout the first issue of the story rampages largely unseen through the X-Men's defences while Professor X relates the villain's origin in a series of flashback sequences to the team. Marko is the step-brother of Charles Xavier, and developed an intense dislike for his sibling which was only exacerbated when Xavier's mutant abilities began to develop. While the pair are serving in the US Army and stationed in Korea, Marko finds a hidden temple dedicated to entity Cyttorak. On entering Marko finds and holds a huge ruby, and reads an 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 Cyrrorak's power into Marko, transforming him into what Xavier - witnessing the event - calls a "human Juggernaut".

As the Juggernaut, the character has evolved from outright villain[2] to relucant ally[3] and finally solitary outsider.[4] The character is the focus of a story in the alternate universe title What If? #13 (May 1990) and has also starred in two solo titles: the one-shot Juggernaut #1 (April 1997) and Juggernaut: The Eighth Day #1 (Nov. 1999).

Biography

1960s

Cain Marko's 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. The Juggernaut finally reaches the X-Men, and after brushing them aside is clearly seen in the final panel as he confronts Xavier. The X-Men regroup and attack, with Xavier summons Fantastic Four member the Human Torch to aid the mutants. The Juggernaut is eventually defeated when the Angel removes 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]

1970s

The character reappears on Earth through sheer force of will, although the alien dimension is causing the Juggernaut to age rapidly, with the panicking villain battles 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 brother of X-Man Banshee, 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]

1980s

When Black 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, who is unable to prevwent the villain's progress. 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, who sinks without a trace.[12]

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 humliates 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]

1990s to Present

The Juggernaut continues to feature prominently in Marvel titles, starring in 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 anti-hero 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 maanages 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 is aided by the superhero team the Avengers. Leader Captain America convinces the other Exemplars that they have been manipulated by the mystical entities, with the now confused humans leaving Earth.[32]

The 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 step-brother Xavier and returning to his villainous origin is able to restore the link with Cyttorak.[38] Despite an attempt by Xavier to reform Marko, he concedes that redemption is impossible.[39]

Wizard ranked the Juggernaut #188 on the list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time.[40]

Powers and abilities

Cain Marko found the Gem of Cyttorak, which via a transference of mystical energies transformed him into a magical avatar of the entity.[41] As the Juggernaut, Marko possesses tremendous strength; being capable of shattering mountains[42] and lifting and using buildings as weapons,[43] and durability,[44] which is amplified by a mystical force field that grants near invulnerability.[45] The forcefield, however, can be neutralised by magic.[46] Once in motion, the Juggernaut is like the namesake physically unstoppable.[47] The Juggernaut does not tire from physical activity and can survive without food, water or even oxygen.

The Juggernaut is vulnerable to mental attacks, a weakness that has been exploited via the removal of his helmet.[48] The character has circumvented this weakness by on occasion wearing a metal skullcap inside the main helmet.[49]

Other versions

The futuristic MC2 imprint title J2 stars the son of the Juggernaut, Zane Yama. Yama joins the future Avengers, and is eventually reunited with his father Cain Marko, who was trapped in an alternate dimension.[50]

The Ultimate Marvel imprint title Ultimate X-Men features an alternate universe version of the Juggernaut, who was originally part of the Weapon X program and has ties to Rogue, having grown up in the same trailer park.[51]
