this unstoppable villain is the evil
stepbrother of Professor X welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’ll be
exploring the comic book origins of Cain
Marko otherwise known as the juggernaut
sticks and stones will break my bones
but tags will never hurt me now get out
of my way you’re violating my personal
space as with most comic book characters
they’re often reimagining and different
versions to a character’s past we have
chosen to primarily follow the storyline
that unfolded in 1965 uncanny x-men
number 12 which was expanded upon in
issue number 32 and the 1992 animated
series an unusual character in the x-men
saga Cain Marko is not a mutant and is
motivated exclusively by hate and a
thirst for revenge
his undying hatred began in his youth
when his opportunistic father a
scientist and colleague of the late
Brian Xavier married Charles Xavier ‘s
widowed mother for her wealth following
a failed atom bomb experiments uprooted
by his father Kane was forced to live in
the Xavier mansion there the already
cruel boy began to regularly bully his
stepbrother Charles in retaliation for
his father’s regular displays of
selfishness and cold-hearted behavior
this neglect eventually came to a
boiling point when Kane started a fire
in his father’s lab with the fire raging
out of control he was shocked to witness
his father uncharacteristically
sacrificed himself to save both children
spurring a belief that he loved Charles
more than him to make matters worse in
the years that followed Charles’s mental
abilities surfaced helping him excel in
school this ultimately led Kane to
realize that his stepbrother was a
mutant capable of reading his personal
thoughts bursting with paranoia and
Ian’s rage Kane destroyed Charles’s
trophy collection and began lashing out
through violent confrontations
eventually Kane and Charles were both
drafted into the US Army and made to
fight together during the Korean War
however Kane decided to flee from combat
forcing Charles to chase after him
taking cover in a nearby cave Kane
discovered a long-lost temple wherein he
found a pedestal housing a crimson gem
touching it
Kane surged with energy and was
compelled to yell out an ancient evil
chant Breezies word Charles then arrived
just in time to witness Kane’s
transformation however the reaction
caused the cave to collapse giving
Charles just enough time to flee having
witnessed the devastation
Charles secretly hoped that his
stepbrother had perished under the
rubble little did he know that as the
now heavily armored juggernaut Kane was
nigh and vulnerable super-strong and no
longer required oxygen or food to
survive after years trapped under tons
of rock Cain eventually managed to dig
himself out having had nothing but his
bitter hatred to sustain him finally
returning home he discovered that
Charles had since become the
wheelchair-bound Professor X and leader
of the x-men with his superhuman powers
in tow including his ability to gather
unstoppable momentum the juggernaut
launched an assault on the mansion with
the goal of finally killing his step
mother easily making his way through its
defenses the juggernaut overwhelmed the
x-men team and even showcased immunity
to Charles’s mental influence through
his magical helmet the juggernaut was
finally stopped when his helmet was
removed allowing Charles to act in
response
Xavier secretly kept the juggernaut
confined in a special chamber in the
hopes of finding a way to reverse the
transformation however when one of the
experiments backfired
the juggernaut was released since then
the juggernaut has continually returned
to threaten Charles the x-men and their
friends and has even formed several
deadly alliances a fan favorite the
juggernaut regularly appears in various
forms of media including comic
crossovers cartoons video games and most
notably 2006 is x-men The Last Stand
albeit as a much more comedic and
simplified character I’m the wrong guy
to play hot seat with who’s hiding and
dickhead

behemoth form or origins of your
favorite comic book characters be sure

follow no Scott he chose not to continue
his attack I believe that is his way of
saying thank you
