Marvel Legends Toybiz Series 6 Juggernaut

The next on our list is Cain Marko, the Juggernaut and also the stepbrother of Professor X of the X-Men. Cain Marko is the son of Kurt Marko, who became Charles Xavier's stepfather when he married Sharon Xavier after the death of her husband Brian, for which Kurt was partially responsible. Kurt Marko starts to favor Charles, and abuses his own son, Cain. Cain begins to resent Charles and bullies him frequently. When Cain Marko and his step-brother Charles serve in the US Army and are stationed in Korea, Marko finds a hidden temple dedicated to the entity Cyttorak. Upon entering Marko finds and holds a huge ruby, and reads the inscription on the stone aloud: "Whosoever touches this gem shall be granted the power of the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak! Henceforth, you who read these words, shall become ... forevermore ... a human juggernaut!" The gem channels Cyttorak's power into Marko. The 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. Resource According to fans, Juggernaut can actually go head to head with the Hulk. Although one of the main weakness of the Juggernaut was his vulnerability to Mental abilities [such as Charles] so he wears a helmet similar to Magneto's helmet which is invulnerable to psychic attack. The Juggernaut skills are as follows: Regenerative healing factor, Superhuman strength, stamina, durability, Force field generation, Virtually unstoppable momentum and of course Immunity to mental attacks via helmet.
