- "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!"
- ―Juggernaut to Kitty Pryde
Juggernaut (born Cain Marko) is a mutant who has superhuman strength and durability. He was a member of the Brotherhood of Mutants.
Biography[]
Recruited by Magneto[]
Juggernaut was recruited into the Brotherhood of Mutants by Magneto after being freed from imprisonment by Mutant Affairs. Multiple Man and Mystique were alongside him. Because of his immense strength, Juggernaut immediately became one of Magneto's trusted generals.
When Magneto attempted to recruit Jean at her family home, Wolverine and Storm were left outside to face Juggernaut, Callisto, Quill and Arclight. Soon, Wolverine and Juggernaut engaged in a fight, with the latter emerging victorious (the Extended Cut of the fight revealed Wolverine as the victor, with the help of Storm).
During the battle of Alcatraz, Juggernaut was sent to kill Leech, who was the source for the mutant cure. Kitty Pryde, meanwhile, went to stop him. He knocked himself out by colliding with a wall in an attempt to kill Kitty and Leech - the latter negating his power of irresistible force.
Personality[]
- "Nice helmet."
"Keeps my face pretty." - ―Pyro and Juggernaut
Although he is a criminal, Juggernaut acted as a loyal ally to Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants. He also seems to have a sense of humor, as well as anger issues.
Powers and Abilities[]
Powers[]
- "If he builds any momentum, no object can stop him."
- ―Pyro
- Irresistible Force Embodiment: Juggernaut, once he begins to advance in a certain direction, is virtually impossible to halt. Some obstacles can slow his pace, but cannot completely halt him.
- Superhuman Strength: Juggernaut possesses immense superhuman strength, making him one of the physically strongest mutants (along with Colossus and Apocalypse), capable of effortlessly overpowering Wolverine and throwing him around like a ragdoll.
- Superhuman Durability: Juggernaut's skin, muscles, and bone are several times denser than the same tissues in the body of a normal human being, greatly contributing to his superhuman weight, and making him extremely hard to wound. And while Wolverine's adamantium claws do pierce him, Juggernaut doesn't seem to feel much pain.
- Superhuman Speed: Juggernaut, despite his immense size, has his strong leg muscles allow him to run and move at speeds beyond the natural physical limits of the finest human athlete.
- Superhuman Stamina: Juggernaut's body generates no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him limitless superhuman stamina in all physical activities. He is never seen resting or sitting down whilst among the brotherhood.

Trivia[]
- In the mainstream comics, the Juggernaut is not a mutant and gains his power from the mystical Cyttorak Ruby. He is only a mutant in the Ultimate universe.
- During his fight with Shadowcat, Marko shouts, "I'm the Juggernaut, bitch!", referencing an Internet meme.
- In an alternate scene, when Juggernaut finds Leech and Shadowcat, he says, "Here's Juggy.", making a reference to the film The Shining.
- A younger version of Juggernaut was originally set to appear in X-Men: Days of Future Past and was to be portrayed by Josh Helman but was written out of the film and replaced by Quicksilver. Josh Helman went on to play William Stryker instead.
- In the comics, Juggernaut is the step-brother of Professor X and his twin sister Cassandra Xavier. He is an American born in Berkeley, California.
- Despite not being portrayed as Charles Xavier's step-brother in The Last Stand, in X-Men: First Class Charles mentions having a step-father who in the comics is Kurt Marko, Juggernaut's father. Deadpool 2 confirms that the Juggernaut, at least in the newly revised timeline, is Xavier's step-brother.
