| 12 | Charles Xavier's older step-brother and antithesis, Cain Marko was abused by his father Kurt, leading him to torment his stepbrother viciously and developing a deep-seated grudge against him. When they were both in the army during UsefulNotes/TheKoreanWar, they took refuge in a cave where Cain discovered a magical ruby placed there by an EldritchAbomination named Cyttorak that turned him into its avatar -- the Juggernaut. Unstoppable in every way but via psionics or advanced magic, the Juggernaut continued to be a thorn in Xavier's side for years, eventually getting trapped inside of the source of his own powers. Since he was let out, he fought briefly on the side of good, before embracing his true evil nature and returning to villainy. Despite being associated with the [[Characters/XMenBrotherhoodOfMutants Brotherhood of Mutants]] for ''years'' in adaptations, he was never officially a member until joining Exodus' Brotherhood alongside his longtime partner in crime Black Tom. |
| 13 | ---- |
| 14 | * AbhorrentAdmirer: He's a fan of ComicBook/{{Dazzler}} and has a big crush on her. So he usually goes easy on her if she's on an X-team he's fighting. |
| 15 | * AbusiveParents: Kurt Marko used to beat him up horribly. |
| 16 | * AchillesHeel: |
| 17 | ** He has a weakness to psychic powers (only when his helmet is removed). Also, he has no way of getting around besides walking, so if you can teleport him or trick him through a portal, he's stuck wherever he ends up until he manages to physically walk himself back to where he wants to be. Also, his powers being magic based, powerful entities such as Thor can more or less neutralize them once they've figured out exactly how they operate, [[ComicBook/{{Magik}} Illyana Rasputin]] has actually been able to permanently remove the Juggernaut power from her brother Peter and Cain Marko himself. The Juggernaut's invulnerability is also magnitudes weaker against magic, so that higher power magic attacks will harm him. |
| 18 | ** As a ''human'' juggernaut, his soft tissues, particularly those related to his nervous system, are somewhat vulnerable even without employing magic or psionics. His eyes can be cut by mundane objects should they be sufficiently sharp (as Shatterstar proved) and though he cannot feel pain, strong enough concussive force to his head can render him unconscious. A [[AntiMatter macroscopic annihilation reaction]] or [[StarKilling gamma ray bust]] is of course well outside of the range of most X-Men BUT is an energy level The Hulk or Thor could [[GatheringSteam potentially]] put out (and was by the New God Mantis in a DC Comics crossover...[[WatchWhereYoureGoing which also knocked out Mantis]]). Atmospheric vibrations, such as ultrasound can also [[BodyHorror pulverize Juggernaut's brain and leave his body immobile]] (which is how Nimrod dealt with him). |
| 19 | * AdamWesting: Lightly so, as the ''ComicBook/AvengersAcademy'' title revealed that he has become something of a meme in youth circles, much to his exasperation. Despite this, he agrees with a roll of his eyes to yell "Nothing can stop the Juggernaut!" when Reptil asks him to. |
| 20 | * TheAgeless: Due to the gem of Cyttorak, he does not age. |
| 21 | * AntiVillain: Very occasionally played as a type IV AntiHero. As of 2014, he looks to be staying this way. [[spoiler: Even after returning to being the Juggernaut, his goal is to avenge his brother's death, even if his methods are insane.]] |
| 22 | ** Since then, he's consistently portrayed as an AntiHero of sorts, even [[spoiler:joining the X-Men again. Twice]]. |
| 23 | * AscendedMeme: In ''Film/XMenTheLastStand'': "Don't you know who I am? I'M THE JUGGERNAUT, BITCH!" |
| 24 | * AttackItsWeakPoint: His helmet is his main protection against psi, his primary weakness. This has led to plenty of fights with Juggernaut that consist mostly of everyone distracting Cain long enough for someone to get his helmet off. |
| 25 | * AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther: After the making of Krakoa and Cain's snorting of the powdered gem of Cyttorak, their brotherly relationship has become real though Cain does sometimes snark at Charles. |
| 26 | * BadassBoast: "Nobody/Nothing stops the Juggernaut!". |
| 27 | * BadPowersBadPeople: Because his powers are granted to him by a malevolent extradimensional entity, they actually fluctuate depending on how evil he is at any given time. |
| 28 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: During the ''Gauntlet'' storyline, he helped Spider-Man after the wall-crawler tried to help him when he was attacked by the latest Captain Universe. |
| 29 | * TheBerserker: Once the Juggernaut starts moving there is little that can stop him. |
| 30 | * BigBrotherBully: |
| 31 | ** He pretty much tormented his stepbrother incessantly to the point that when a villain peered back in time for moments in Xavier's life it could exploit during ''ComicBook/RiseOfThePowersOfX'', the only positive memory he could find in his childhood was when he was able to actually fight back a bit against Cain. As time went on he was given a FreudianExcuse to at least ''somewhat'' explain his unrelenting {{Jerkass}}ery. |
| 32 | ** This side of Cain was particularly explored in an ''X-Men Unlimited'' issue released around the time he was undergoing his first attempted HeelFaceTurn. While attempting to be a big brother figure to MoralityPet Sammy the Squid Boy, Juggs and Sammy cross paths with a group of human kids who [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals torture animals for fun]]. While Sammy is shocked and appalled, Cain shrugs it off easily with "boys will be boys" sentiments and openly admitting [[BadPeopleAbuseAnimals he did the same as a child]]. In comes Jean Grey, who decides to educate the bullies ''and'' Cain via full Phoenix-powered MindRape, making them all experience [[http://i.imgur.com/HZgogEC.jpg every torture they'd inflicted on an animal from the animal's point of view]]. While this was treated at the time as a lesson that would stick with Cain for a very long time, later storylines would see him [[StatusQuoIsGod predictably revert to form]] for some time. Since then, he's mostly portrayed as an AntiHero, joining the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} and, eventually, the X-Men again. |
| 33 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Surprisingly enough, his first return after Charles's death has him wanting to find out who did it to get revenge, explaining that Charles is one of the few people who ever gave him a second chance. |
| 34 | * BoxedCrook: During the 90s he became one when he brokered a deal to become the CSA's duly appointed bounty hunter. Later he was drafted into an incarnation of the Thunderbolts led by Luke Cage (his powers were [[PowerCreepPowerSeep on the wane]] at the time). |
| 35 | * BreakoutVillain: He's one of the more popular X-villains, appearing in numerous games and spinoffs. |
| 36 | * BroughtDownToBadass: On occasions where he has been depowered he still tends to acquit himself well in fights, though the degree to which he is truly ever "depowered" is unclear (for instance, in a 2014 storyline he still retained enough SuperStrength to punch Man-Killer through a roof, despite supposedly being stripped of his Juggernaut powers at the time). |
| 37 | * TheBrute: Typically serves this role as this whenever he's on a team. |
| 38 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: Basically applies to his role in the ''Gauntlet'' storyline, as he's attacked by the latest Captain Universe because he ruined the man's life during a past rampage without ever being aware of it; Cain remembers the fight in question as it was his first fight with Spider-Man, but he doesn't remember the man currently attacking him. |
| 39 | * ByThePowerOfGrayskull: Juggernaut has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pk3i3wPRgjs one]], repeated in the Animated Series, which he can recite to affirm his oath to Cyttorak and regain his power. |
| 40 | -->'''Juggernaut:''' Whosoever possesses the sacred gem shall prepare himself to receive the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! Read these words and go from this place: A Human '''Juggernaut'''! |
| 41 | * CainAndAbel: With Professor X. |
| 42 | * CharacterDevelopment: Cain in his original appearances was just a stock example of TheBully villain, without any positive qualities to be found. Starting in TheEighties and continuing into TheNineties, writers progressively gave him more layers. They first gave him NobleDemon qualities, such as a VillainRespect for worthy foes and explaining that he did have lines which he would not cross. There wasn't much that fans liked about the Chuck Austen X-Men era, but one move that was positively received was the additional development Cain got at the time, stemming from his HeelFaceTurn. While the StatusQuoIsGod ResetButton was inevitably pushed, Cain stayed on the hero side for a good few years, and even having returned to villainy, he's now closer to Magneto and Deathbird on the scale of developed X-villains. |
| 43 | * CollapsibleHelmet: His newest helmet in the 2020 series can collapse and reform at will. |
| 44 | * CoolHelmet: Like Magneto, Cain has a helmet that protects him from PsychicPowers. ''Very'' handy when your stepbrother is the world's strongest telepath. |
| 45 | * CutLexLuthorACheck: For all that Juggernaut often ends up Worfed, on paper, he's one of the heaviest non-RealityWarper hitters in the Marvelverse. And what does he use his incredible power for? Basically thuggery. In some stories like the ''WesternAnimation/BlackPanther2010'' animated series, this is lampshaded and thankfully averted, as stated by Klaw to Batroc that if Juggernaut had any higher ambitions, the world, despite all its superheroes and defenses, wouldn't stand a chance: |
| 46 | -->'''Batroc:''' Why is it that the muscle in any operation always has to be so stupid? |
| 47 | -->'''Klaw:''' The Juggernaut fought the Hulk and walked away. God help us all if he had a brain. |
| 48 | * {{Dismotivation}}: Juggernaut is one of the most powerful beings in the X-Men universe, as his powers aren't mutations so much as a law of physics unto themselves. Despite this, he's still Cain Marko, and his ambitions usually loft no higher than petty thievery, thuggery, and the occasional spot of fraternal bludgeoning. Essentially, Juggernaut isn't one of the big players for the simple reason that he doesn't feel like it. |
| 49 | * TheDreaded: Treated as this by Professor X in his first appearance, and rightly so. It took all five X-Men, Professor X, the X-Mansion's defenses ''and'' the [[Characters/FantasticFourTheFantasticFour Human Torch]] lending a hand to defeat Juggernaut the first time. Even then, the heroes were nearly killed. To this day, if he’s not being worfed or a X-Men punching bag, he’s treated with absolute fear. |
| 50 | ** As an example, he once returned to New York to recover something for an employer. Spider-Man encountered him, and when Juggernaut offered an ultimatum (basically let him get the thing he came for and leave, or he could rampage through the city, '''then''' take the thing and leave), Spidey agreed to step aside. He was called out on this, but rightfully pointed out that Juggernaut is so out of his league that getting him to leave with minimal damage to the city was already a win. |
| 51 | * DumbassNoMore: As the leader of the Unstoppables, he's had to put his brain to use and he's shown to be a skilled tactician and fairly good at diplomacy. |
| 52 | * DumbMuscle: ''How'' dumb varies DependingOnTheWriter. Sometimes he's simply BookDumb, other times his head's the only thing thicker in-story than his [[NighInvulnerability nigh-invulnerable]] body. |
| 53 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He's got a fairly developed code of conduct as bad guys go. Theft and property damage might be A-OK in his books, but hurting kids, backstabbing people after they've helped you or hurting people purely for the sake of being a {{Sadist}} are all no bueno as far as he's concerned. During the ''Gauntlet'' storyline, he was even chosen by the Enigma Force to become the latest Captain Universe to repair the tectonic plate damage he had caused while digging his way out of concrete after his original battle with Spider-Man (albeit after the Enigma Force's originally chosen host preferred to try and vent his vendetta against the Juggernaut rather than complete his assigned mission). |
| 54 | * EvilRedhead: He has red hair, which matches his armor and helmet, and while more of a greyish character, he's still considered a bad guy. |
| 55 | * EyeScream: Was once inflicted on him by ComicBook/XForce's ComicBook/{{Shatterstar}}. Having a HealingFactor, Juggs recovered quick, but boy was he ever ''pissed''. |
| 56 | * {{Foil}}: To his brother Xavier. While Xavier is a paraplegic, telepathic GuileHero, Cain is an able-bodied, superhumanly strong brute. |
| 57 | * ForceAndFinesse: The Force to Black Tom Cassidy’s finesse. Unlike his partner, everything he does is through sheer brute force without any hints of subtlety. His UnskilledButStrong works hand in wand with Black Tom Cassidy’s WeakButSkilled. |
| 58 | * FreudianExcuse: The reason he hates his stepbrother so much is that their father always preferred Charles over Cain. |
| 59 | * FriendToAllChildren: Not all children everywhere, but generally he has a soft spot for kids and will pull his punches in battle with them if not refuse to fight them outright. This first cropped up with his befriending of Sammy the Squid Boy, but was later made a running trait during his time with the ComicBook/{{Thunderbolts}} and when he gave (surprisingly good) life advice to the kids of ComicBook/AvengersAcademy. |
| 60 | * GiantMook: Often used this way in the various X-Men video games. He's actually a StarterVillain in ''VideoGame/XMen1993'', for example. |
| 61 | * GoodIsImpotent: As noted below, Juggernaut's PowerCreepPowerSeep (towards the Seep side) were stated in-universe to be ''caused by'' his attempts to find redemption, as his powers stem from an evil entity who ''wants'' him to use them for selfish destruction. |
| 62 | * HealingFactor: It rarely gets brought up, because Juggernaut is almost impossible to hurt in the first place, but his ability to regenerate may even equal Wolverine's. After Shatterstar thrust his enchanted sword into Juggernaut's eyes, it took him all of two panels before it had regrown. In one famous incident, being reduced to nothing but bones not only ''failed to kill him'', he ''kept on fighting even as a bare skeleton''. |
| 63 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: During ''ComicBook/WorldWarHulk'', the evil god who gave the Juggernaut his powers made him realize that the reason he was losing his powers was because he'd become soft and weak. In response, Juggernaut fully embraced his evil nature and the evil nature of the god who empowered him, returning to (and finally accepting) his true villainous self. But as of 2020, the Juggernaut has once again joined the hero side of things by joining the Punisher Kill Krew and later the X-Men up until Magik turned on him. He's still on friendly relations with his brother Charles despite not being allowed on Krakoa and he's had a moment with the ComicBook/SavageAvengers. He also leads his own hero team, the Unstoppables and even awarded Krakoan living rights for saving everyone there. |
| 64 | * HeelRealization: Goes through a twisted version after Charles' death. He decides that Xavier was the only person who ever tried to help him, and wants to make the X-Men pay for his death. He gets a further realization after he decided to go straight and work with online celebrity superhuman D-Cell in taking down the Immortal Hulk. The Hulk admitted demolishing homes and scaring people to death, but that was when he had a near-animal intelligence. Hulk tells Cain that he did the same thing and was conscious of how bad that was plus he only took on the Hulk because he was getting paid. The Juggernaut could only hang his head in shame. |
| 65 | * HelmetsAreHardlyHeroic: He and Magneto are the two main trope codifiers for this among X-villains. |
| 66 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Black Tom. |
| 67 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: The beginning of his HeelFaceDoorSlam begins in an issue of ''New Excalibur'' where the Wrecking Crew beat the pus out of him while lamenting how he used to be badass. |
| 68 | * HugeGuyTinyGirl: Often shown beside Nocturne in group shots, foreshadowing their dual HeelFaceTurn. They worked together after that too, with Nocturne becoming something like a replacement MoralityPet to Cain for a while. |
| 69 | * {{Immortality}}: He does not age, he requires no sustenance to survive, he is immune to poisons, disease, and radiation, he can survive as a skeleton, and he has a potent HealingFactor. These attributes, along with his extremely durable forcefield and armor, make him very hard to kill even for other heavy-hitters like Thor and the Hulk, and allow him to go on living for centuries. |
| 70 | * ImmuneToMindControl: Whenever he's wearing his helmet, at least. |
| 71 | * ImplacableMan: He literally cannot be stopped (one of his official superpowers is "once in motion, cannot be stopped" -- he took a mystic blast from ComicBook/TheMightyThor and it only staggered him for a few seconds), he's {{Nigh Invulnerab|ility}}le, and he officially has "infinite stamina". He never needs to stop. Ever. He doesn't eat, he doesn't sleep, he doesn't feel fatigue, he doesn't even breathe. Once, the demon D'spayr tried sucking all the magic and life away from Juggernaut. He managed to reduce him to a skeleton, but Juggy still kept coming, fueled by pure anger and rage. D'Spayr could have destroyed this skeleton too though, once he got over the shock it was still alive if not for a different CosmicEntity with it's own grudge against the demon taking notice. |
| 72 | * InfernalRetaliation: Happens to him frequently, see the page for ''some'' of these times. |
| 73 | * InvincibleBoogeymen: The Unstoppable Juggernaut got [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast his name for a reason]]. Aside from a select few immensely powerful individuals, he is [[NighInvulnerability impervious to physical harm]], even more than Thor or Hulk. The one way to put a halt to his rampage is to get his helmet off and let the resident telepath subdue him or teleport him somewhere he can’t hurt anyone. Even then he’s managed to come up with counter measures to these weaknesses over the years. |
| 74 | * {{Irony}}: For how unstoppable he is, even the Juggernaut cannot escape the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak, a magical spell that's used to stop and restrain a target and is sourced from the same god that empowers him. |
| 75 | * TheJuggernaut: Well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin it is his supervillain name]]. Not only does he have the above mentioned super-powers, he is ''literally'' unstoppable; once in motion, there isn't a power on the planet (and a good deal of the universe) that's supposed to be capable of stopping him. He once took a direct hit from a blast of "mystic Asgardian force" from [[ComicBook/TheMightyThor Mjolnir]] and it only succeeded in slowing him down for a few moments. And then there was the time when the demon D'Spayr [[StrippedToTheBone vaporized his flesh and muscles]] -- cue the still-animate skeleton of Juggernaut continuing to come after him. His official superpowers include literally infinite stamina, and no need to eat, sleep, drink or even ''breathe''. |
| 76 | ** This is made even worse in the ''ComicBook/FearItself'' event: Juggernaut becomes possessed by an ancient being in service of an Asgardian god, The Serpent, and becomes "Kuurth, Breaker Of Stone". In this incarnation he is even more unstoppable. Not only are all his usual weaknesses removed (telepathy and draining his powers did not work and teleporting him away will result in him teleporting back where he was before immediately), the X-Men's attempts had failed so much that ComicBook/{{Colossus}}, ComicBook/{{Magik}} and [[ComicBook/KittyPryde Shadowcat]] had to appeal to Cyttorak himself to remove the Juggernaut powers from Cain and transfer it to [[spoiler:Colossus]] in order to stop him. |
| 77 | ** He gets a similar, yet somehow STRONGER upgrade after he gets [[spoiler: his powers back courtesy of Cyttorak at the end of ''Amazing X-Men''. Due to Colossus trying to sacrifice himself by goading Cytorrak into re-empowering him and making him strong enough to kill the god, Cyttorak instead gives the power to Cain. The resulting behemoth is larger, more heavily armored, guarded against psychic abilities even without the helmet, and easily curbstomps the X-men in seconds, with Colossus barely defeating him by sending him tumbling of a cliff, a fate he escapes soon after]]. |
| 78 | * KeepTheReward: Played with in ''X-Men Unlimited'' after he and Deadpool kill the Warden/Human Adaptoid to save the entirety of Krakoa and its inhabitants, they (or at least Cain Marko) are rewarded with the right to live on Krakoa (Cain has visitation priviledges from his relations with Charles and Black Tom but is otherwise unwelcome). Cain is grateful but temporarily declines, he knows that the incident involving the Warden's organization isn't over so he'll see that through first and do some more missions with his Unstoppables. After he'll take up residency, but only when he really needs it. |
| 79 | * KilledOffForReal: In the ComicBook/UltimateMarvel universe, during ''ComicBook/{{Ultimatum}}''. |
| 80 | * KryptoniteProofSuit: He usually wears a helmet that blocks out telepathy, which the X-Men usually work to knock off. After this happened enough times he started wearing a smaller, tighter skullcap under the main bulky helmet for extra protection. |
| 81 | * LovedByAll: On Krakoa, he’s so popular there that he’s encouraged by Jean Grey to throw his name into the X vote at the third Hellfire Gala and is voted onto the team despite the fact that he’s not even a mutant. This is particularly notable considering how he used to be an enemy of the X-Men. |
| 82 | * MacGuffin: The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, a relic that imbues whoever holds it while invoking ritual words the power of "a human Juggernaut". Occasionally Juggs has had his power stolen by upstarts who find the gem, to the point of throwing it into deep space once to ensure no one would ever again have that opportunity. Being the manifestation of a malevolent deity, it turned out to be a little harder to get rid of than that. |
| 83 | * MeaningfulName: Let's put it this way; there's a ''reason'' he has the NameOfCain. |
| 84 | * MissedTheCall: It's occasionally stated that Cain wasn't the intended recipient of Cyttorak's power, but that it was meant for Charles Xavier. As one What-If story shows, this is a good thing, as an Xavier Juggernaut killed all non-mutant superheroes, nearly destroyed America and could only be stopped by being launched into space. |
| 85 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: {{Invoked|Trope}}: The demon D'Spayre, who feeds on, well, despair, was once able to physically manifest on Earth by tricking Juggernaut into thinking he had killed Black Tom Cassidy. Tom was alright but Juggernaut [[UnstoppableRage wasn't forgiving]]. |
| 86 | * TheNeedless: The Juggernaut does not require food, water, sleep, or air; he's about as close to immortal as you can get. |
| 87 | * NewPowersAsThePlotDemands: He once demonstrated the ability to fire energy blasts from his forcefield, an ability that was never used before. It was never used afterwards either, suggesting it was retconned out of existence. |
| 88 | * NighInvulnerability: Juggernaut is, to all practical purposes, totally indestructible. While he can still be thrown, knocked back, or hit by blows, he cannot actually be damaged by brute force or physical in nature. Only magic can hurt him physically, he doesn't feel pain, regenerates any damage done to him... he's even got a forcefield he can erect to make himself ''even harder to hurt''. |
| 89 | * NoSell: During ''X-Men: Legacy'', when Sinister's Cronus Machine activates and tries to turn Cain into a new vessel for Essex, his Cytorrak given powers prevent it from happening (which, given Cain's lack of a mutant gene might well have killed him otherwise), but needless to say, Cain was pretty pissed. |
| 90 | * OddFriendship: He's got friends among the superhero and supervillain community alike, including the Punisher who's notorious for being unsocial. |
| 91 | * OlderThanTheyLook: Even without Cytorrak, he could pass for someone in his 30's when actually he's Professor X's ''older'' brother. |
| 92 | * OnlyInItForTheMoney: Occasionally, when Juggernaut is a hired gun rather than pursuing a personal vendetta, a bigger pile of cash than what his employer has offered ''can'' stop him. |
| 93 | * PerpetualMotionMonster: He has been stated to have infinite stamina, does not require any sustenance, and can go for months without stopping. |
| 94 | * PetTheDog: |
| 95 | ** In his villainous career, Black Tom was the only person he has shown concern. |
| 96 | ** During his HeelFaceTurn phase, Juggernaut has also shown his soft spot for [[MoralityPet Squid Boy]] in Chuck Austen's ''X-Men'' and Nocturne in ''New Excalibur'' issues. |
| 97 | * PowerCreepPowerSeep: His power level depends on Cyttorak's whims. He can be weak enough to be trounced by the Wrecking Crew or strong enough to punch through dimensions. After Magik had removed his powers before the creation of Krakoan society, he was only able to regain a portion of his power by using shards of the crushed Gem of Cyttorak. He no longer has a force field, he's weaker and not as invulnerable and he now has to breathe, but he's no longer at the whim of Cyttorak. |
| 98 | * PowerLossMakesYouStrong: Despite being by all accounts an ordinary human prior to being empowered by Cyttorak, Cain has consistently maintained a level of SuperStrength even on the occasions when he has been depowered. He is also consistent in his freakishly large size, which was also a blessing from Cyttorak he should logically lose when depowered. |
| 99 | * PsychopathicManchild: Not to the same degree as the Blob, but Cain is somewhat underdeveloped emotionally and, Black Tom aside, seems to have an easier time befriending and relating to children that he does adults. |
| 100 | * RammingAlwaysWorks: Since Juggernaut can't be stopped once he start moving, much of the time he just needs to look at whatever he wants to pulverise and start running. In most video games where he makes an appearance, this will be at least one of his moves, and often the one that does the most damage to boot. |
| 101 | * RedemptionRejection: Played with post-''ComicBook/AvengersVsXMen'' -- it certainly ''looks'' like Cain has done this when he turns his back on the new peaceful life he has built for himself to chase after the Gem of Cyttorak again, but as it turns out [[spoiler:he's only trying to get it for the same reason that Colossus is, to destroy it so no one else can claim the Juggernaut power. Ironically, in spite of this Cyttorak chooses to empower him once more, making him fall into this anyway]]. |
| 102 | * RedIsViolent: He has red hair, and he wears red armor and a red helmet. When reduced to a skeleton, the skeleton was shown to glow red from the red energy of the crimson gem of Cyttorak. He is also a brutish character. |
| 103 | * RevengeBeforeReason: Early in the All-New X-Men days, Juggernaut and Black Tom lure the X-Men into a trap at Cassidy Keep. Juggernaut doesn't particularly care that the team he's facing have no idea who he is or what he wants, save Cyclops. They're Charles's students, and that makes them fair game in his eyes. |
| 104 | * RoguesGalleryTransplant: |
| 105 | ** He occasionally clashes with ComicBook/SpiderMan and the [[ComicBook/TheIncredibleHulk Hulk]]. |
| 106 | ** The entity Cyttorak that Juggernaut derives his powers from is actually one of the powers frequently invoked by ComicBook/DoctorStrange, and due to this connection the two characters have crossed paths multiple times. |
| 107 | ** ComicBook/CaptainBritain and ComicBook/TheMightyThor have also had their share of tussles with him. As X-villains go, he ReallyGetsAround the superhero circuit. |
| 108 | * SignatureHeadgear: Juggernaut's helmet is easily the most recognizable feature of his look. |
| 109 | * SixthRangerTraitor: For Exodus' Brotherhood. Turns out he was TheMole the whole time. |
| 110 | * SleevesAreForWimps: Cain's outfits almost never have sleeves. |
| 111 | * SmarterThanYouLook: He might not be book smart, but DependingOnTheWriter, he can be more than just a meathead. He's usually shown to possess an average intellect, and was capable of creating a metal skullcap to provide additional protection from mental attacks. |
| 112 | * SoleSurvivor: During the events of the 2023 ComicBook/HellfireGala, [[spoiler:Juggernaut was one of the new members elected to join the new X-Men team, along with Cannonball, Jubilee, Frenzy, Dazzler, and Prodigy. However, almost immediately after the new team was announced, almost all of them were instantly killed in a surprise attack by Nimrod, with only Juggernaut surviving the attack. This is also a case of AudienceParticipation, since in the leadup to the event, fans got to vote for one of the six to join the X-Men as in the two previous years, but the twist being that they were all going to join the new team regardless and the winner instead was the survivor of the attack, with Juggernaut winning the vote]]. |
| 113 | * StatusQuoIsGod: After having his powers restored by Cyttorak in 2014, Juggernaut was shown to be stronger than he has '''ever''' been, to such a degree that the only way the X-Men could 'beat' him was by using the environment to drop him into the ocean and then escape. Despite this, in his next appearance Juggernaut had completely reverted to form as a petty criminal working with his longtime partner-in-crime Black Tom, and seemingly back at his normal power level to boot. Kind of a letdown after all that buildup... |
| 114 | * SuperSpeed: Juggernaut's hyper-strong muscles officially allow him to run at top speeds of 110 miles per hour. |
| 115 | * SuperStrength: With it he has immense strength that far exceeds the ability to lift 100 tons effortlessly. Due to the mystical nature of his powers, Juggernaut can increase his physical strength to immeasurable levels with a simple thought when he needs it. In this sense, Juggernaut has the strength-increasing option due his potential to draw on the limitless power of the mystical energy of Cyttorak, which makes him a truly unstoppable force. Juggernaut has been able to subdue through his physical force or knock out several powerhouses such as Thor, the Thing, Hulk and many others. Also, the limits of Juggernauts strength are unknown simply because of the fact it stems from his Cyttorak himself. |
| 116 | * SuperTeam: At the end of his [[ComicBook/JuggernautMarvelComics 3rd solo outing]] and into X-Men Unlimited, he has his own superhero team called the Unstoppables which includes Quicksand and Primus plus some help from Arnim Zola. |
| 117 | * SuperToughness: He's arguably even more well known for this than he is for his strength. Even without his helmet, armor, or forcefield, his skin and bones are durable enough for him to fight and defeat the Professor Hulk (who is somewhat stronger than regular Hulk's base powers and much smarter, though lacks his ability to increase his strength with anger) while shrugging off his blows. His armor is tough enough for him to take a beating from Thor for a full minute while his forcefield was disrupted. He can transform his civilian clothes into his armor at will and turn objects into new helmets in case his gets removed or destroyed, making it pointless to even destroy either in the first place. He has an incredibly powerful forcefield that is said to be completely indestructible to any physical blow and is powerful enough against energy attacks to take a low level Godblast from a severely weakened Thor (the same attack that at full power can even drive away Galactus). Finally, assuming you manage to get through all of this protection and natural durability and actually harm him, he can easily regenerate. All of this makes him possibly the most physically durable being on Earth. |
| 118 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Currently that's part of his ethos as the leader of his own superhero team. Though he will relax this rule if [[TooPowerfulToLive the enemy is too powerful]] such as Kulan Gath and the Warden/Human Adaptoid. |
| 119 | * TokenGoodTeammate: For a given value of "good" and "team", Juggernaut was this to the Exemplars, eight humans chosen by the magical beings known as the Octessence to serve as their avatars and compete in a contest; unlike the other seven Exemplars, the process that empowered Cain was interrupted, with the result that Cain Marko was still basically himself where the other seven were fully committed to the planned contest between them. |
| 120 | * TokenHuman: Cain was one of the first non-mutant X-villains and has never been strongly invested in mutant rights, yet he is often affiliated with the Brotherhood in adaptations. The ''Film/XMenFilmSeries'' deliberately changed him from a mystically-empowered man into a mutant to avoid this trope. ''WesternAnimation/XMenEvolution'' likewise presents him as a mutant, but whose X-gene only became active after some sort of "mystic ritual". In Marvel Comics parlance, that actually makes him more of a ''mutate'' (i.e. someone who gained powers thanks to an outside source) like Spider-Man or the Fantastic Four. |
| 121 | * TookALevelInKindness: During his first HeelFaceTurn, and it stuck throughout the subsequent HeelFaceRevolvingDoor he went through. In modern times he can be considered a GentleGiant by his allies, a lot of whom are his former enemies in the X-men. |
| 122 | * TranquilFury: After raging at and dominating a team of X-Men (while depowered!) Northstar [[PoorCommunicationKills finally spits it out]] that it was Cyclops who murdered Charles Xavier. Cain's response, after all that, is to simply narrow his eyes and drop his hostages. |
| 123 | * UnskilledButStrong: Not much hand to hand skill despite former military service, but he has tremendous amounts of strength and divine support so he doesn’t need much. Thor once defeated him by sacrificing his own god powers to remove Juggernaut's and then casually beating Cain Marko to a pulp. |
| 124 | * UseYourHead: He uses this mode of attack. In the ''VideoGame/CapcomVs'' series, it's his one and only Hyper Combo. |
| 125 | ** Likewise, in ''VideoGame/MarvelStrikeForce'' this is his Ultimate move. |
| 126 | * VillainousFriendship: He and Black Tom are genuinely good friends. In the aftermath of Spider-Man's famous first battle with Juggernaut (which ended with Juggie trapped under tons of concrete), Tom confidently waited for his friend to reemerge... and then started getting concerned when he didn't. He maintained a vigil on his yacht until he was finally forced to leave to his own safety. Threatening or actually harming Black Tom is a very easy way to get on Juggernaut's bad side. |
| 127 | * WalkDontSwim: This is Juggernaut's default way of crossing water. One of the most famous examples of this was after his first battle with ComicBook/SpiderMan in which he was buried in concrete so he simply tunneled his way into the Hudson River and walked out to sea. |
| 128 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: In one ''ComicBook/WhatIf'' story he accidentally caused the nuclear extinction of humanity, condemning himself to a FateWorseThanDeath as he had his usual CompleteImmortality. |
| 129 | * TheWorfEffect: An oft-Worfed character, due to his great power and somewhat limited intelligence. Gladiator of the Shi'ar Imperial Guard gave him his most classic Worfing, shrugging off a blow from him and throwing him out to sea in a panel so memorable it was adapted into the animated series. Other villains have since tried to piggyback off that panel, among them Post, Onslaught and the Hulk in his Horseman of War and Green Scar incarnations. He was even Worfed by ComicBook/{{Superman}} in ''ComicBook/MarvelVersusDC'', knocked down by one punch. |
| 130 | * WorfHadTheFlu: Sometimes, explanations are offered as to why he's the victim of the Worf Effect. In DC Versus Marvel, Juggernaut found himself in the DC Universe, where Cyttorak doesn't exist and thus cannot empower him. While still strong and durable, he was no match for Superman. |
| 131 | * WorthyOpponent: Curiously, the Juggernaut has been known to show respect to people who put up a good enough fight against him. Although Colossus and Dazzler both lost their battles against him, they managed to win his respect. |
| 132 | * YouAreNotAlone: One storyline revealed that Juggernaut is an "Exemplar", a mystically-empowered avatar, and that there were in fact a number of other Exemplars in the world. Unfortunately, the other Exemplars ended up being CListFodder and this storyline fell by the wayside, but it's obvious parts of it were cribbed from by the writers of ''ComicBook/FearItself''. |

| 139 | %%!!! '''Alter Ego:''' |
| 140 | !!! '''Notable Aliases:''' Lord of Oblivion, Master of the Raging Storm, One True Rage-Father |
| 141 | !!! '''First Appearance:''' ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange: Sorcerer Supreme'' #44 (April, 1992) |
| 142 | ->''"I am the destroyer of worlds. I will not be denied."'' |
| 143 | \ |
| 144 | A malevolent being variously described as both demon and god, Cyttorak was worshipped in prehistoric days but was banished into the Crimson Cosmos, a dimension in the Outer Places that he eventually came to rule. Fashioning a gemstone with which to empower a worthy being on Earth into his avatar, Cyttorak patiently waited and eventually obtained that avatar in the form of Cain Marko. Delighting in Cain's baser qualities, Cyttorak happily gave him power, but when Cain decided he wanted more out of life their relationship began to sour. |
| 145 | ---- |
| 146 | * TheCorrupter: His modus operandi is to offer fallible individuals inclined to violence the power to destroy everything around them and defeat anyone who challenges them. |
| 147 | * DisappointedInYou: On the whole Juggernaut has been an unsatisfying avatar to him, and he has given Cain more than one TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, but since Marko is his most reliable herald Cyttorak keeps infusing him with power. |
| 148 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In his first official appearance as a character and not just a statue he looked like a mortal human sorcerer. Later appearances gave him his stony demonic behemoth look fans typically associate with him, but it is possible he was originally human and that the bearded mortal appearance was in fact his original one. |
| 149 | * EnemyMine: During ''ComicBook/FearItself'', Colossus and Kitty Pryde were able to convince Cyttorak to remove his power from Cain and bequeath it to another instead because Cain had fallen into the sway of the titular Serpent and was no longer obeying solely Cyttorak's will. |
| 150 | * GodOfEvil: He wants his avatars to use their powers for selfish destruction and has no higher goal for them than that. |
| 151 | * HumanoidAbomination: His usual form is that of a gigantic being made of red stone with an exposed ribcage and a head shaped exactly like Juggernaut's iconic helmet. |
| 152 | * InLoveWithYourCarnage: When Colossus became his avatar he was tickled pink, since Colossus as a hero was constantly getting in fights while Cain as a villain spent large amounts of time laying low from the law. When Colossus asked to return his power, Cyttorak flatly refused for this reason, and it took the mystical meddling of Magik to finally free Colossus from Cyttorak's 'favor'. |
| 153 | * MysteriousPast: It's not clear if he was originally human and then ascended into his present state or if he was always some sort of demon/godly being, nor is it known who originally banished him to the Crimson Cosmos or how. |
| 154 | * OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Averted, as anyone who picks up his titular gem will receive his power. This has actually been a huge hindrance to Cyttorak, as Cain wasn't even his first choice for herald (he had his eye on Professor X actually) and over the years this has allowed various lesser beings to claim his power, however briefly. |
| 155 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: As powerful as Cyttorak is, he's fortunately a retiring sort and content to just hang out in his own dimension letting his avatar wreak destruction for him. |
| 156 | * RedIsViolent: Red is definitely his color and he is every bit as brutish as his herald is at his worst. |
| 157 | * SealedEvilInACan: Cyttorak's sole saving grace is that he is sealed into the Crimson Cosmos and cannot manifest on Earth. If he could, he'd be a threat on par with Shuma-Gorath. |
| 158 | * WeaksauceWeakness: His crimson bands are almost indestructible, but can be severed by the Black Knight's Ebony Blade or Magik's Soulsword. It is unknown if either of these weapons could harm Cyttorak directly. |

| 172 | -> ''Tis about time, it is, then... I was beginnin' t'wonder when y'r actions would match y'r reputation! Sorry t'say f'r you , boyo -- my actions speak louder than y'r words!'' |
| 173 | \ |
| 174 | A mutant thief and career criminal who tends to work either alone or with his longtime partner the Juggernaut. The X-Men initially clashed with them at Cassidy Keep, and would have to contend with their schemes off and on over the years. |
| 175 | ---- |
| 176 | * AffablyEvil: See HeterosexualLifePartners and PetTheDog. |
| 177 | * ArchnemesisDad: Averted. Even though his adopted daughter Siryn chose the hero's lifestyle and bio-dad she never knew over him, Tom never held a grudge and even wrote a letter gentlemanly exonerating her of any crimes. |
| 178 | * AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Black Tom's secondary mutation allows him to merge himself with nearby plant life. On more than one occasion, he's used it to become a nearly-impervious floral dreadnought sporting CombatTentacles and the ability to regenerate FromASingleCell. |
| 179 | * BadBoss: The 90s ''{{ComicBook/Deadpool}}'' miniseries shows readers why Black Tom normally works alone: he's downright ''brutal'' to the hired mercenaries in his employ. |
| 180 | * BeardOfEvil: Of the classic EvilTwin goatee variety. |
| 181 | * BloodKnight: A downplayed example, but he discovered a taste for crime and the mercenary life as a young man, and has spent most of his life since in action. |
| 182 | * CainAndAbel: With his cousin Banshee, of course. It translated over to the 1992 animated series too, though it was left out of the films (as was Black Tom himself). |
| 183 | * DeadlyUpgrade: Given one by the villain Genesis in his guise as ArmsDealer Tolliver. As with fellow Brotherhood member Unus the Untouchable, the joke was on Black Tom as the upgrade ended up being deadly to ''him''. |
| 184 | * DePower: Marvel used M-Day to hit the reset button on Black Tom. He lost his secondary mutation, but retained his original powers somehow. |
| 185 | * DisneyVillainDeath: His first appearance has his fight with Banshee end when Tom goes falling into a storm-lashed ocean from atop Cassidy Keep. SoftWater turns out to be in effect, and he eventually turned up alive. Didn't stop Cain having a FreakOut and leaping in after him, though. |
| 186 | * EnergyWeapon: This was his ''original'' mutant ability, one that he needed wood to conduct. He could use any piece of wood, but preferred to use his shillelagh. |
| 187 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: Pre-secondary mutation Black Tom was very much a GentlemanThief, and following his M-Day power loss he expresses remorse for murdering Sammy the Squid Boy, telling Cain that he wasn't in his right mind and "that mad life, it was like some kind of dream". |
| 188 | * EvilVersusEvil: See his profile quote? He says that to ''[[TheManBehindTheMan Gideon]]''. |
| 189 | * {{Foil}}: Interestingly enough, Black Tom is one of these to Mystique, not as a character in general but as a parent. He and Raven both adopted a young mutant girl and both raised their adopted daughters to follow in their criminal footsteps, but while Tom was able to accept that Siryn had no taste for crime and let her go to make her own way in the world as a hero, Mystique was never able to accept Rogue's HeelFaceTurn and continued meddling in her life long after she had matured into a grown woman. |
| 190 | * ForceAndFinesse: The Finesse to Juggernaut's Force. He lacks the sheer strength of his partner, his durability or any of his other extreme physical abilities. But acts as the more rational, logical and strategic fighter with great skill in his abilities. |
| 191 | * GentlemanThief: In his earlier appearances. He spent a while as more of a generic AxCrazy villain, though as of 2017, he's returned to his old ways, working with Cain. |
| 192 | * GreenThumb: Even before his secondary mutation kicked in he had a strange connection with plant life, fighting at his best in the woods. |
| 193 | * HandicappedBadass: Pre-secondary mutation he had a lame leg, hence his shillelagh. It doubled as a walking stick. |
| 194 | * HeelFaceTurn: As of ''Jonathan Hickman's X-Men'', he's apparently been recruited into the X-Men's ranks. |
| 195 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: His long-standing partnership with the Juggernaut. |
| 196 | * HonorAmongThieves: He and Juggernaut watch each other's backs unfailingly. |
| 197 | * KickTheDog: Not so much original flavor Tom, but after experiencing his secondary mutation he's ''all over'' this. Northstar takes him apart for murdering the school's mutant cook Marilyn, but unfortunately for him Tom can now regenerate FromASingleCell. |
| 198 | * KickTheMoralityPet: He murders Juggernaut's MoralityPet, Sammy the Squid Boy. |
| 199 | * LifeOrLimbDecision: During the ''Deadpool'' mini Black Tom was dying after his powers were increased to unstable levels by Genesis. In order to stabilize them, he sought out Deadpool for his healing factor, only to be stymied when his mercs could only bring him back Wade's severed hand. Desperate and minutes away from death, Black Tom hacked off his ''own'' hand and attached Deadpool's to his stump. [[spoiler:It worked.]] |
| 200 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: As children, he and his cousin Sean competed for the affections of Siryn's mother. Sean won that battle, and Tom has never forgiven him for it. |
| 201 | * MoralityPet: Siryn (see below for more on her) is about the only person alive who can shame Tom into being an honest man, even if it never sticks. |
| 202 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After his secondary mutation was taken, his appearance in ''New Excalibur'' has him break down crying at Cain over the aforementioned murder of Squid Boy. |
| 203 | * NothingPersonal: Towards the X-Men, pre-secondary mutation. Being a fairly professional career criminal, Black Tom was mostly just interested in turning a profit, the notable exception being with his cousin Banshee where it very much ''was'' personal. |
| 204 | * NotInThisForYourRevolution: He's spent most of his history working solely with the Juggernaut and is an outlier in modern incarnations of the Brotherhood for his focus on profit over mutant rights (a focus that is shared by Juggy, who isn't even a mutant). |
| 205 | * {{Oireland}}: Has one of those written-out Oirish accents that can be very painful to try and read through. He's indeed Irish though, for the record. |
| 206 | * PetTheDog: |
| 207 | ** When he's captured early on in his villainous career along with Siryn (Theresa Cassidy, Sean's daughter, who he had raised in secret), he gentlemanly exonerates her and writes to Sean explaining who she is. |
| 208 | ** The guy ''does'' genuinely like Juggernaut, to the point of being legitimately concerned for his happiness and safety. It goes both ways, as a deeply hacked off Cyclops successfully bluffed the Juggernaut into backing down by threatening to obliterate an unconscious Tom. |
| 209 | * PsychoticSmirk: Just look over at his profile images. He's noticeably smirking in ''both'' incarnations. |
| 210 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Again, just take a gander up top. |
| 211 | * RedRightHand: A near-literal example occurs in the ''Deadpool'' mini, where he exchanges his own hand for Wade's. |
| 212 | * RemoteBody: At the height of his powers Tom was strong enough to use this. Multiple times the heroes would take him apart, only to find it was ActuallyADoombot and the real Tom was elsewhere. |
| 213 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Starts referring to himself in the third person when brought back in Hickman's X-Men run. |
| 214 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Him and Juggernaut, of course. |
| 215 | * TookALevelInBadass: For a long time Black Tom was just Juggernaut's sidekick. Then the TurnOfTheMillennium came around and with it came a new and much more powerful Tom, taking a few levels in badass thanks to a new secondary mutation. |
| 216 | * TookALevelInJerkass: The secondary mutation also seemed to make Tom more bloodthirsty, to the point where he crosses into WouldHurtAChild territory. He lost both the power and the Jerkassery later. |
| 217 | * ToxicFriendInfluence: He advises Juggernaut to cast away his personal doubts and embrace supervillainy, leading to Cain's HeelFaceDoorSlam. |
| 218 | * WeakButSkilled: Compared to Juggernaut's UnskilledButStrong, he has incredible skill in his heat blasts and is no fool in his wood usage. |
| 219 | * WhenTreesAttack: His secondary mutation again. |
| 220 | * WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: Formerly a classic OnlyInItForTheMoney villain, Tom experienced some ''steep'' SanitySlippage after his secondary mutation kicked in. |
| 221 | ** Gets it again when he uses his powers symbiotically with Krakoa. The amount of sensory information streamed from ''everywhere'' on the island down to spores is eroding his rationality to the point that, combined with PowerIncontinence when he's not paying attention, makes him paranoid that the island is absorbing his identity. |

He learned many things from his studies, including the ability to transfer people's essence into clones of their original bodies. Allying with the Nazis during World War II, Dr. Zola survived the war by transplanting his consciousness into a robotic shell.
