Marvel Comics: description of the character

This article will be devoted to one of the most famous antagonists of comic superheroes. The Juggernaut ("Marvel") is a giant endowed with incredible physical strength. His enemies at different times were the X-Men, Avengers, Heavyweights, Captain Universe, Onslaught.

Childhood

The real name of the Juggernaut is Kane Marco. He was born in the American town of Berkeley, California. His mother died when Kane was still very small, so only Kurt's father was engaged in raising his son, who was a scientist and devoted all his time to science. When his colleague died, Kurt took care of his wife Sharon, whom he quickly became attached to. After a while, Sharon and Kurt decide to get married. So in the family of Marco got the son of Sharon - Charles Xavier, who became Kane's stepbrother.

Since childhood, Marko was characterized by a tendency to violence. So, he was often expelled from school for fights. Charles was particularly brutally attacked. However, these were just attempts to draw the attention of his father, who was more keen on the adopted son - Charles began to show his ability to mutant. His son, Kurt, considered it bad from birth, defective.

The death of his father

In many respects it is the father who owes his birth to a monster named Juggernaut. Marvel Comics has created a character whose bad deeds are due to just childhood psychological trauma.

Kurt, worried about Charles, often took Kane to work with him so that he would not annoy his stepbrother. And in one such trip to the blood of Marco got the DNA of Nathaniel Essex, which subsequently gave rise to his physical mutations.

Kane's dislike for his half-brother was constantly growing, but reached its peak on the day of Kurt's death. Kane and his father quarreled a lot, witness to their quarrel was Charles, who at this time was hiding behind a pile of boxes.

A fight ensued, Kane began to beat test tubes with chemical preparations, which caused the explosion of his father's laboratory. Kurt, already dying, manages to save both sons. However, he drags Charles out of the fire first, despite the fact that his own son was closer to him. Before he dies, the scientist tells Charles that his brother can manifest the abilities of a mutant.

Seeing his father's farewell to Charles, Kane realizes that he will hate his half-brother until the end of his days.

Charles and Kane

However, much later a villain named Juggernaut appeared. "Marvel" - a company that pays a lot of attention to the formation of its characters, whether heroes or villains, has worked and this image.

Since the death of Kurt passed a year. Charles became more successful, being a favorite at school, he won sports awards and won at scientific exhibitions. Kane, being an outcast, more and more hated his brother. Somehow he even tried to destroy all the trophies of Charles, but he managed to stop Kane.

The culmination of their confrontation was the moment when Marco offered to give Charles a lift to college. Kane dispersed, wanting his brother to beg him to stop. However, in his desire to humiliate Charles, Kane did not notice the turn and the car fell off the cliff. Both brothers barely survived.

The appearance of the Juggernaut

The last time before the disappearance of Marco, Charles and Kane met in Asia during the Korean War. They were in the same squad and came under fire. Kane immediately deserted, hiding in a cave. Charles tried to stop him, speaking of a military court, but this had no effect.

Xavier decides to follow his brother. Pursuing Kane, Charles recalls one of the local legends, where it was said that the cave is the temple of the evil god Sittorak. Shelter, in which Kane hid, turned out to be hers. Marco finds a ruby in it and reads the words written on it. They say that the one who utters them will become one with the "Red Cosmos of Sittorak" and will receive the name Juggernaut. "Marvel" associated the appearance of this character with a mystical power. As soon as Kane read the words inscribed on the stone, he began to grow in size and turned into an ominous monster.

At the same time, a strong air strike was inflicted on the terrain, the cave collapsed, and Juggernaut was buried under the rubble.

Attack on the X-Men

A few years later, with the help of Cerebro, Charles sensed the presence of an incredibly powerful mutant who was heading for the X-Men School. This unknown creature was Juggernaut. The X-men, preparing to attack, protected the school, but the enemy dared to defend them. The battle continued until Angel could not remove the Juggernaut protective helmet . After that, Xavier took control of his mind. No other force to stop the invasion mutants failed.

Trying to help

So the hero Juggernaut met with his main opponents - the X-Men. However, having won, Charles decided to hide Kane. Professor secretly from the team and his students placed the body of his brother in the underground laboratory. Here he conducted a lot of research, wanting to save Kane from the power that gave him Sittorak's ruby.

Xavier built a special machine that was able to pump energy from the Juggernaut. But when the process was launched, a certain mind intervened and caused an explosion. Charles was seriously injured and fell into a coma. At the same time, Kane awoke. During the time spent unconscious, he did not lose his strength, and the explosion even endowed him with a part of Xavier's telepathic abilities.

Fighting X-Men

Juggernaut, like a real super villain comics, decides to take revenge on mutants. He penetrated the estate and, with the help of his newly acquired telepathic abilities and his strength, easily defeats the X-Men. However, he does not kill them, because at that moment an unknown voice in his head sent Kane to Europe.

This gave time for the X-Men to recover after the defeat and come up with a plan for getting rid of the Juggernaut. To accomplish this mutants are divided. Most of them stayed on the military base to distract Kane, and Gene and Scott went in search of a ruby, giving Marco power.

When Scott and Jean returned, they forced the Juggernaut to touch the magical stone that teleported the supervillain to Red Cosmos. In this dimension, as such, there was no time, so every second seemed like an eternity to Kane. This only contributed to increasing his hatred of Xavier and his disciples.

However, Charles could not allow his brother to disappear in the Sittorak dimension, despite all that Kane had done. Therefore, the Professor created a special machine that returned the Juggernaut to Earth. However, Marco did not at all feel grateful to his savior and again attacked the X-Men. Fortunately, the effect of Xavier's machine action was only temporary, and when he expired, Kane returned back to oblivion.

Measuring Sittorak

Juggernaut ("Marvel"), being in a strange dimension, managed to master the magic, which helped him to fight with one of the evil entities of the world Sittorak. However, during the battle, the barrier holding Eternity was damaged, and Kane found himself in Oblivion.

In this world, time passed incredibly fast, which made Marco grow old. But Juggernaut is a character who is not used to giving up. He quickly found a "cure" for aging - rage and anger.

Some time passed and Kane managed to visit Earth several times, but every time an irresistible force brought him back to oblivion. This continued until Juggernaut met the master of measurement in which he was imprisoned. Essence made him an offer - Kane will give up his magical abilities, which he managed to find in the world of Sittorak, and in exchange he will be sent to Earth. Juggernaut immediately agreed to this deal.

Return

After the return, I immediately got into a new Juggernaut rework. Marvel Comics this time decided to combine this character with Hulk. The green monster once again fought with the US Army, and Kane invited him to join forces. The military had no chance to stand up against such power. However, when Kane decided to kill innocent people, the Hulk stopped him. A battle began between the former allies. The Hulk lost, but at some point he managed to remove his helmet from the Juggernaut. Then Charles and Jean, who had arrived at the scene, took Kane's mind under his control.

Abilities

Often, when discussing superheroes, many ask the question: who is stronger? Juggernaut in this regard can claim one of the leading positions. Few will compare with this mutant in physical strength.

Juggernaut has the following abilities:

1. Incredible power, the limits of which are unknown. He easily defeated the Colossus, the Being, the Hulk, the Torah, the Scar.
2. Immortality and invulnerability - Kane does not age and has immunity to all poisons, toxins and diseases. It can not even be split at the molecular level. The skin of the Juggernaut can not be pierced, and he himself does not feel pain.
3. Regeneration. To hurt Kane can only incredibly powerful magic. In such cases, all his injuries heal instantly.
4. Self-support - Kane does not need to sleep, eat, rest. He does not even need oxygen, as he is fueled by the power of a magical ruby.
5. Endurance - it does not feel tired and can endure endlessly any physical exertion.
6. Density of the body - the muscles and bones of Kane surpass the density of human 6 times, which is the cause of his incredible mass.
7. Force field - Juggernaut is so charged with magical energy that it overflows it and splashes outward, forming a protective field. That's why it can not be stopped.
8. An uncontrollable force - if the Juggernaut begins to move, it can not be stopped. Stone blocks and plasma cannons only slow Kane.
9. Magic abilities - Juggernaut is able to release from your hands magic rays and fire. However, Kane himself rarely resorts to this side of his forces. Therefore, most of its magical potential remains undisclosed.

Equipment and weapons

In addition to the super abilities, the Juggernaut also has certain equipment:

1. Armor. It is made of material that can only be found in Sittorak. Its strength is comparable to the skin of the Juggernaut. A helmet protects it from any telepathic influences. With an effort of thought, Kane can take off or call up his armor.
2. Hammer - a magical weapon, comparable in strength to the Thor's hammer. It has incredible strength and speed. He can also teleport, and it is almost impossible to destroy it.
3. The sword of Juggernaut - Kane received it during his travels in other dimensions. The potential of the weapons has remained completely uncovered.

Thus, Juggernaut appears as one of the most extraordinary characters in the universe "Marvel," with which no hero can match.
