Fictional character biography

Background

Cain Marko was born in Berkeley, California. Berkeley is a city on the east shore of San Francisco Bay in Northern California, in the United States. California ( is a US state on the West Coast of the United States, along the Pacific Ocean. He is the stepbrother of Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero known as the leader and founder of His father, Kurt Marko, married Charles' wealthy mother Sharon after the death of her husband and Kurt's business partner Brian Xavier. Kurt physically abused Cain and drove Sharon to alcoholism. Physical abuse is abuse involving contact intended to cause feelings of intimidation Pain, Injury, or other physical Suffering or Harm. Alcoholism is a term with multiple and sometimes conflicting definitions Cain held a special contempt for his stepbrother Charles, jealous of the better treatment he received from his father, and the academic and athletic achievements which cast Cain completely in Charles' shadow. Cain was further humiliated when Xavier's burgeoning mental powers made him aware of his insecurities and abuse at the hands of his father. The revelation to Cain that Xavier used a superhuman advantage to surpass him all this time was a major factor in Cain's hatred towards his brother. [1][2]

Cain was sent to a military boarding school due to his lack of discipline, and later served in the U.S. Army. A military academy or service academy (American English is an educational institution which prepares candidates for service in the officer corps of the Army the Navy Air Force In its most general sense discipline refers to systematic instruction given to a Disciple. The United States Army is a military organization whose primary mission is to "provide necessary forces and capabilities. While serving together in the Korean War, Cain and Charles stumbled onto the ancient temple of Cyttorak, lost for centuries. The Korean War refers to a period of military conflict between North Korean and South Korean regimes with major hostilities lasting from June 25 1950 until the Cyttorak is a Fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. On an altar Cain saw a huge red gem, the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, and immediately grabbed it. The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak (also referred to as the Ruby of the Crimson Bands or the Crimson Crystal of Cyttorak) is a Fictional artifact created by the Upon the gem was an inscription, and he read it aloud: "Whosoever touches this gem shall be granted the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak! Henceforth, you who read these words, shall become . . . forevermore . . . a human juggernaut!". [1]

The cavern collapsed. Charles was able to escape, but it took Cain years to dig himself out as he underwent the transformation. Cain seethed with rage at his stepbrother and, after finally emerging from the mountains he was buried under, set out to hurt Charles as much as possible. [1][2]

Criminal life

The Juggernaut became a professional criminal and fought the X-Men when he first encountered them, and was rendered comatose. The X-Men is a team of fictional Superhero characters in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [3] He soon regained consciousness and temporarily gained psionic powers. He battled the X-Men, and allied with Factor Three, but became trapped in the extra-dimensional realm of the Crimson Cosmos. Factor Three was a short-lived supervillain subversive organization within the pages of The X-Men, and was a part of the Marvel Comics Universe [4] He soon returned to Earth, and learned of Charles Xavier's supposed death at the hands of Grotesk, but was then sent back to the Crimson Cosmos.

Doctor Strange is a Fictional character, a Comic book sorcerer and Superhero in the. [6] He eventually escaped the Crimson Cosmos completely, and battled the newly mutated Beast. He was revealed to be aging rapidly as a result of his time spent in the Crimson Cosmos, and claimed that the antidote to aging was a constant mental focus on hate. [7] After that, he battled the Hulk for the first time. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. [8]

He has primarily fought the X-Men, but he has also been at odds with other heroes of the Marvel Universe, such as Spider-Man, the Avengers, Deadpool, and the Incredible Hulk (One of the few heroes capable of giving the Juggernaut all he can handle in a head-to-head confrontation).

Often accompanying him during his travels was his friend the mutant mercenary known as Black Tom Cassidy, whom he met when they were both in jail at the same time. "Black Tom" Cassidy ( Thomas Samuel Eamon Cassidy) is a Marvel Comics Supervillain, an enemy of the X-Men, and Archenemy Sharing a hatred for family members - Juggernaut for his stepbrother, Professor X, and Cassidy for his cousin, the X-Man known as Banshee - the two became close friends. Banshee ( Sean Cassidy) was a Marvel Comics Superhero, a member of the X-Men. When they got out of prison, they became partners and first battled the "new" X-Men. [9] Juggernaut then battled Spider-Man for the first time. Spider-Man is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [10] Marko later tried to share his power with Black Tom, but Cassidy was displeased with the physical effects of the power to his body, and the two Juggernauts were subsequently defeated by the combined forces of Spider-Man and a group of X-Men, with Rogue managing to drain off Cassidy's Juggernaut powers. Spider-Man is a Fictional character appearing in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. Rogue ( Anna Marie) is a Fictional character, part of the Marvel Comics mutant super-team the X-Men. The power of the Cytorrak is mysteriously divided and diminished when possessed by more than one host. To prevent anyone from invoking the power for themselves, which would weaken him in the process, Cain hurled the gem into space. [11]

Later, the Juggernaut became engaged in a bar fight with Colossus. Colossus ( Piotr Nikolaievitch Rasputin) is a Fictional character, a Superhero in the Marvel Comics universe. [12] He then battled Nimrod. Nimrod is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [13] After that, he battled Captain Britain and Excalibur. Captain Britain ( Brian Braddock) briefly known as Britannic is a Fictional character, a Superhero appearing in the comic books published by Excalibur is a Marvel Comics Superhero group an offshoot of the X-Men, usually based in the United Kingdom. [14] Juggernaut then battled Thor and the New Warriors. Thor is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. The New Warriors is a Marvel Comics Superhero team traditionally consisting of young adult heroes [15]

During the Onslaught disaster, it was Juggernaut who bore much of the brunt of Onslaught's rage - perhaps unsurprisingly, since the monster was after all composed mainly out of Charles Xavier's feelings of anger, frustration and hate. Onslaught is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. When Marko first encountered the being, he was knocked clean across the United States with a single blow, and later, when Xavier revealed himself as Onslaught, he apparently reached through Juggernaut somehow, pulling forth the Crimson Crystal and temporarily trapping him inside it.

Later, the Juggernaut and seven other beings were revealed to be a part of the Exemplars, who, like Cain, were living manifestations of the power of various mystical entities. The Exemplars is a fictional group appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. The eight beings were entranced and coaxed into battling each other in order to determine the entity that was supreme. A possible effect of the battle could have been the destruction of the Earth, but it was prevented thanks to the intervention of Professor Xavier, Spider-Man, Iron Man and Thor. Iron Man is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. Thor is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Juggernaut then defeated the other Exemplars earlier than planned, thus thwarting the plan.

The Exemplars later united against Juggernaut and managed to kidnap him. The Avengers- consisting of Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Wonder Man, the Scarlet Witch, Firestar, Justice, the Wasp, and Giant-Man, aided by Hercules, Quicksilver, Nova and Spider-Man- intervened to try and rescue the Juggernaut; as Captain America pointed out, they couldn't allow the Exemplars to execute people no matter who they were.

Despite their combined might, the assorted heroes were almost totally defeated by the Exemplars, but Captain America managed to convince them that their minds had been altered by the process that gave them their powers; only Juggernaut was the same as he'd been before because the process that created him had been interrupted. With this revelation, the Exemplars departed to try and find their place in the world, and, grateful at having been saved, the Juggernaut agreed to go to prison willingly, especially to avoid having to fight the Avengers.

Redemption

While in prison after a battle with Generation X, Marko was abducted by the sentient Celestial ship, Prosh, and enlisted into a mission to help save mankind and mutant-kind. Generation X is a Fictional Comic book Superhero team a Spin-off of the X-Men franchise published by Marvel Comics. The fictional AI entity originally known as Ship has appeared in several incarnations in the Marvel universe. Along with a select few, his mind was transported back in time at different points of his life where, he was told, he would discover clues that would help him in his mission. During this period of self-reflection, he often found himself witnessing parts of his life where he was trapped (buried under rubble, stuck in cement, in prison, etc. ), which made him realize that he had wasted his entire life. It was later discovered that Prosh itself was the threat to the world (as it had been programmed by the Celestials to attack humanity), and so Marko united with the others selected and together they defeated the ship.

An offer from the Commission on Superhuman Activity came to become their headhunter. In exchange, he would be pardoned from his past crimes. [16] Nevertheless, Black Tom talked to him afterwards and he took up the life of a mercenary with him again. [17] Later, the two friends found themselves in severe danger; Black Tom had been suffering from a virus that was converting his body into plant-matter, while the Juggernaut's power was reduced due to his patron deity Cyttorak withdrawing his energies. Cyttorak is a Fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. The two formed a deal: Juggernaut pretended to reform, trying to appease Xavier and thus become an X-Man. If Tom managed to recover, they both planned to conspire and destroy the X-Men from within. [18]

The two staged a battle, in which the Juggernaut requested the X-Men's help, but Tom turned on Juggernaut, as he went mad due to his transformation. In the battle, the Juggernaut helped the X-Men defeat Tom (who then faked his death) and after the battle Xavier asked his stepbrother to return with them to the mansion. [19] While at the mansion, Juggernaut began to change when he befriended a young mutant boy from Canada named Sammy Paré particularly as both had similar backgrounds, including an abusive father. Squidboy ( Sammy Paré) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe [20][21]After helping the X-Men on several occasions, he and Xavier started to reconcile their differences,[2] and Xavier let his stepbrother join the team (though many of the other members were less willing to forgive, either ignoring or trying to get rid of him).

When Sammy's mother learned how he had befriended a dangerous criminal, she had the authorities take him home. [22] Cain later went to Canada to see how Sammy was doing and he arrived just in time to see a bruised and battered Sammy who had been violently beaten by his father (as well as a neighborhood bully who Sammy had fought while calling himself the Juggernaut). Furious at the parental abuse, Marko proceeded to brutalize Mr. Pare, and Mrs. Pare called the Canadian super-team Alpha Flight to stop him. Alpha Flight is a Fictional group a Marvel Comics Superhero team noteworthy for being one of the few Canadian superhero teams During the battle, she too was knocked unconscious, and after realizing what he had done Juggernaut allowed himself to be arrested. [23] While in prison, Marko stopped the supervillain Rhino from escaping, instead of using the opportunity to escape himself. The Rhino ( Aleksei Sytsevich) is a Supervillain in the Marvel Universe. This, along with a plea from Mrs. Pare, who stated that various reports to the police of her husband's abusive nature had been ignored, and nothing had been done about it until the Juggernaut came (coupled with his interest in Sammy) helped reduce his sentence. Juggernaut was ordered to undergo many hours of public service, along with court monitored therapy sessions for his anger management problems that stemmed from his own history of abuse from his father. [24]

Black Tom Cassidy resurfaced, having gained enough control over his new powers (but now resembling a humanoid tree). Juggernaut joined Tom's new Brotherhood of Mutants but he intended to betray the group by warning the X-Men. The Brotherhood of Evil Mutants (邪悪な変異体の同胞団 jaaku na hen'i karada no douhou dan also known as " The Brotherhood " and Brotherhood of Mutants Sammy stumbled upon a Brotherhood meeting and presumed that Juggernaut had return to his old ways and thus he began to make a racket. Annoyed, Black Tom killed the boy which enraged Juggernaut who subsequently tried to kill his former friend. When the Brotherhood were sucked into a black hole by the second Xorn, Juggernaut accompanied them to make sure Nocturne (another defective member of the Brotherhood) would be safe and to make sure that the Brotherhood did not try to attack the mansion again. Nocturne is a code name used by four separate Fictional characters in the Marvel Comics Universe. [25]

Marko ended up in Mojoworld and became the property of Mojo along with Nocturne. To escape, Nocturne took control of Mojo's henchman, Spiral, and opened a portal to the X-Men's Danger Room, where they were reunited with the team. Spiral ( Rita Wayword) is a Fictional character, a Supervillainess in the Marvel Comics universe. The Danger Room is a fictional training facility built for the X-Men of Marvel Comics as part of the various incarnations of the X-Mansion. This, however, was a trap set by Spiral, who was in more control of her body than they thought, and she left a portal open that allowed Mojo to cross over as well. Mojo turned the X-Men into X-Babies, but nevertheless, they managed to overpower his forces. Juggernaut, still feeling guilty over Sammy's death and how Sammy felt betrayed before dying, wondered upon staying as a child and starting life anew. Storm comforted him and convinced him otherwise and thus Juggernaut remained with the team. Storm ( Ororo Iqadi T'Challa, née Munroe is a Fictional character that appears in a number of Comic books published by Marvel Comics. [26]

New Excalibur

In the wake of House of M, in which the majority of the mutant population was depowered, Juggernaut joined the New Excalibur team in London. House of M is an eight-issue Comic book Limited series and crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics in 2005. Excalibur is a Marvel Comics Superhero group an offshoot of the X-Men, usually based in the United Kingdom. London ( ˈlʌndən is the capital and largest urban area in the United Kingdom. [27] In a recent conflict, Juggernaut came face to face with Black Tom Cassidy (who lost his tree-like mutation during Decimation) holding a young girl hostage. "Black Tom" Cassidy ( Thomas Samuel Eamon Cassidy) is a Marvel Comics Supervillain, an enemy of the X-Men, and Archenemy Deciding to negotiate instead of fight, Juggernaut convinced Cassidy, who felt remorse for killing Juggernaut's friend Samuel Pare, to turn himself in. [28] Angry with his weakened powers, Juggernaut traveled to Cyttorak's temple in South Korea. When he demanded to have his power restored, Cyttorak revealed that Cain Marko had never been intended to become the Juggernaut at all, and that the ancient god had instead intended for Charles Xavier to become his avatar. Charles Francis Xavier, also known as Professor X, is a Fictional character, a Marvel Comics Superhero known as the leader and founder of Although he told his New Excalibur teammates that he had not taken the gem, it was revealed that he in fact had. [29]

Juggernaut and Nocturne have grown quite close, though not as of yet romantically involved, after their time together as moles in Black Tom's Brotherhood, in Mojoworld, and now in New Excalibur. Nocturne is a code name used by four separate Fictional characters in the Marvel Comics Universe. Possibly complicating matters, Juggernaut has also developed a crush on Dazzler, a fellow teammate. Dazzler ( Alison Blaire) is a Marvel Comics superheroine, associated with the X-Men. However, before this can lead to anything, he leaves the team after the victory on Albion[30]. Albion is a six-issue Comic book Limited series plotted by Alan Moore, written by his daughter Leah Moore and her husband John Reppion

World War Hulk

Cain, and the rest of Excalibur, discover that the Hulk has come to the X-Mansion to collect Xavier (for his part in the Illuminati), and has already beaten several X-teams that have attempted to stop him. World War Hulk is a Comic book crossover storyline published by Marvel Comics in 2007, featuring the Hulk. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. Illuminati, in comics, may refer to Illuminati (Marvel Comics Illuminati (DC Comics, a group formed by Vandal Savage

Cain asks Cyttorak to have him transported to the battlefield at full power, in turn agreeing to whatever the god asks of him. However, upon arriving and engaging the Hulk in battle, Cain soon discovers that he's still at his weakened state, and is promptly defeated. Cyttorak then informs the beaten Cain that the latter himself is responsible for his own weakness, for trying to use the god's intrinsically evil power for heroic purposes, and denying his own selfish desire to prove himself and thirst for destruction. Finally accepting his role as Cyttorak's avatar to its fullest extent, Cain returns as the Juggernaut in all his former glory, and engages the Hulk in a second round. The two fight causing structural damage to the mansion. Eventually the Hulk used his cunning and Cain's own unstoppable nature to remove Cain from the battlefield by tricking him into charging into a nearby lake, giving the Hulk enough time to complete his mission before Cain's return. After the conflict has concluded, with the Hulk inevitably leaving without Xavier, Cain dismisses Xavier's attempts to thank him for his aid, and warns that nobody should come looking for him after he leaves, lest they not like what they find.

Powers and abilities

Juggernaut is a magical avatar of the supernatural entity Cyttorak who gained superhuman powers through the transference of mystical energies from Cyttorak via a magical gemstone, the Ruby of Cyttorak. Avatar or Avatara (अवतार IAST Avatāra) is often inaccurately translated into English as incarnation Cyttorak is a Fictional character appearing in the Marvel Comics universe. (Because of his association with the X-Men, Juggernaut is often mistakenly labeled a mutant. ) The ruby bonds to his soul and alters his being, giving him power comparable to the Hulk and Thor. This article is about the comic book character and series For all other media appearances see Hulk in other media. Thor is a Fictional character that appears in Comic books published by Marvel Comics. The Juggernaut possesses untold mystical power which enhances his strength to an unknown degree and makes him a seemingly irresistible, unstoppable being. He has the mystical attribute of being completely unstoppable: once he gets into motion in a given direction, no obstacle or force on Earth is able to stop him. Some obstacles, for example many tons of rock, or forces such as plasma-discharge cannons slow his pace considerably. Only enormously high levels of power have stopped him from advancing. The Juggernaut is also vulnerable to certain mystic forces of sufficient strength.

Besides giving him vast superhuman strength, the mystical energy of Cyttorak gives the Juggernaut an extraordinary degree of resistance to all forms of injury. The Juggernaut can also shield himself even further from injury by mentally surrounding himself with an impenetrable force field. Enveloped by this field, the Juggernaut had been seen to survive the fiery explosion of a truck transporting a huge quantity of oil without any injury whatsoever. The Juggernaut can survive indefinitely without food, water, or oxygen thanks to his being sustained by his mystical energies alone.

When transformed into the Juggernaut, Marko wears a costume made of unidentified indestructible fabric and materials. His helmet and skullcap are constructed from an unknown metal with mystical properties which shields him from all forms of psionic attack or probes. The helmet he wears gives him protection from Charles' telepathic powers. In order for Charles to be able to affect Juggernaut, the helmet must be removed.

In the past, the Juggernaut has temporarily possessed telepathic abilities and certain mystical powers, all of which he has since lost or forgotten. For a time, the Juggernaut lost most of his power, becoming mortal again. But he has been restored to his original power levels. [31]
