many of the x-men’s foes the juggernauts
powers come from genetic mutation but
you’d be wrong rather than a mutant this
titanic foe is actually magically
empowered drawing his powers from a
demonic entity known as Syd Iraq but
before he was the unstoppable juggernaut
he was something almost as scary an
abrasive family member born king Marko
the future juggernaut had a rocky
childhood to put it mildly the son of
atomic researcher dr. Kurtz Marko young
Caine lost his mother at age three ad in
an abusive father and it’s no wonder
that young Caine was kicked out of one
boarding school after another eventually
dr. marcoh married Sharon Xavier the
widow of his colleague dr. Brian Xavier
and brought Cain to live with his new
family in their swanky Westchester home
this is where Kane first met a young
Charles Xavier
his new stepbrother Kane and Charles did
not get along with Kane deeply jealous
of the affection his father would show
towards Charles
this caused came to torment and abuse
Charles at any opportunity even after
Sharon passed away tragedy would strike
again when Brian was killed in a
laboratory fire accidentally started by
Kane
it was during this incident that Kane
also learned of his stepbrothers
telepathic gifts something that drove an
even deeper wedge between the two years
later the two found themselves serving
together in the Korean War and during a
battle Cain ran off deserting his fellow
soldiers including his stepbrother
Charles chased after Cain who had
stumbled upon a lost temple deep in the
Korean jungle it was here that Kane
discovered magical crimson gem of
cyttorak a mystical gem containing the
powers of the demonic being sitter AK
sit Oracle was one of the octet ins a
group of eight powerful demonic beings
who had long ago made a wager to find
out which of them was the most powerful
they each created an artifact that would
empower a human host with a portion of
their powers allowing the eight avatars
to battle for supremacy but merely
moments after Cain touched the gem
becoming imbued with the power of CID
Iraq the temple collapsed burying Kane
under the rubble while Cain eventually
reappeared having dug himself out of the
rubble thanks to the new near limitless
strength and stamina bestowed upon him
by the gem thanks to the Citrix power
the juggernaut is a nearly unstoppable
foe one capable of going toe-to-toe with
not just the x-men but some of the
heaviest hitters in the Marvel Universe
in addition to Titanic levels of
strength and stamina
he’s also immune to psychic attacks
thanks to the helmet granted him by the
gem when the juggernaut first appeared
in attacked Xavier school the original
x-men were helpless to stop him the day
was only saved thanks to some help from
the Human Torch who was called in by
Xavier to melt the rivets on the
juggernauts helmet allowing the helm to
be removed and thus opening Kane up to a
psychic attack in the years since his
first appearance Kane has followed that
path of many x-men villains in joining
the team as a member it was during this
time that readers got to meet a softer
side of Kane
when he finally reconciled with Charles
if being possessed by one otherworldly
being wasn’t enough marco was possessed
by and became the avatar of curve
breaker of stones after he picked up a
mysterious hammer that fell from the sky
he was eventually beaten by Wolverine in
the ensuing conflict which left Marco in
a state of powerlessness for the first
time in a long time that is of course
until sitter ranked and his crimson gem
reappeared in the ancient temple looking
for a new juggernauts Marco now just a
peaceful gardener who wants to be left
alone goes to the temple to destroy the
gem once and for all
to prevent another juggernaut from being
created but in the process has a run-in
with colossus and the x-men but while
the two heads handled up in there that
will squabble only to discover they’re
there for the same reason the gem is
taken away by amat Abdo the living
monolith his time as the juggernaut was
short-lived however as Marco strikes a
deal with citta rank to become the
juggernauts yet again in order to exact
revenge on Cyclops for killing his
beloved stepbrother Charles Xavier
but the unstoppable juggernaut was
stopped by colossus who sent him flying
off a cliff but that wouldn’t be the
last the x-men would see of cain marko
juggernaut now back to his villainous
ways joined forces with his former
partner in crime black Tom Cassidy to
Menace the x-men once again and avenged
the death of Professor X while he’s
since lost the powers of cyttorak
significantly reducing his abilities the
Geoghan all remains a powerhouse among
powerhouses within the Marvel Universe
is the unstoppable force and the
immovable object rolled into one and
still one of the x-men’s most iconic
villains but no one says it better than
the man himself don’t you know I am I’m
