**Cain Marko**, also known as **The Unstoppable Juggernaut** is a villain from Marvel Comics, mainly appearing as an enemy of the X-Men.

## Background

Cain Marko was once an ordinary school student. His father, Kurt Marko, had married Sharon Xavier, the wife of his friend Brian Xavier, and adopted Charles Xavier as a result, making him the stepbrother of Cain. Charles was successful at school, which resulted in Cain growing jealous of him to the point where he got in a fight with Charles and lost. Years later, the two traveled to Korea on a mission for the U.S. Army. There, they discovered the Temple of Cyttorak. Cain picked up a ruby in the temple and read the inscription on it. The gem then began to transform Cain into a being with superhuman powers as the temple collapsed, with Charles fleeing in the process leaving Cain trapped underneath the rubble. Cain managed to survive, however, and began to seek out his revenge on Charles, eventually making himself one of the most dangerous enemies of the X-Men.

## Powers and Abilities

* **Demonic Empowerment:** after losing the the Gem of Cyttorak along with his powers, Cain bonded to the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak found on Earth and repowered using the pieces of the Gem of Cyttorak, seemingly giving the following powers:
	+ **Superhuman Strength:**
	+ **Superhuman Stamina:**
	+ **Irresistible Force Embodiment:**
	+ **Summoning:** Juggernaut can summon his specialized armor at any time he wants.
* **Demonic Empowerment:** The Crimson Gem of Cyttorak bonds to the user's soul and makes him the Avatar of Cyttorak, an Exemplar, by giving him this new body. He was stated to be a Thor-class threat. According to Prosh, his Comparative Mutagenic Power Register was of 8.9. As far, he has displayed the following powers:
	+ **Limitless Strength:** The Juggernaut is sometimes listed to possess virtually limitless superhuman strength, being endowed with endless kinetic energy coming from Cyttorak, and other times simply as class 90 or 100. Using this strength he was able to knock out the Thing with three blows, Colossus, and even the Merged Hulk (through repeated surprise ambush tactics) and Thor (Thor was in a fragile state). The Juggernaut proved strong enough to match the highly strong Prime in a fight, knocked out several mutants with a thunderclap, and even toppled the Stranger with one punch after he grew to about 50 feet tall. He was able to stalemate a moderately angry World War Hulk, as well as the Mighty Thor (before Cain's bond with Cyttorak was ruptured). Moreover, Cain was able to stalemate a relatively angry Savage Hulk, hurt the powerful King Hyperion while in a weakened state, injure Skaar and gain the advantage before being outsmarted, etc. However, in a weakened state, after being severely depowered by Cyttorak, he has been defeated by foes such as Iron Man. Furthermore, the Juggernaut's power proceeding from Cyttorak is connected to Cain's function as the avatar of destruction. Thus, the scale of power granted by Cyttorak to him is proportional to the level of destruction and chaos caused. Also, when empowered greatly by absorbing energies from a magical universe, Cain broke multiple dimensional barriers and could split the space-time whose fissure was expanding through the universe in which he was.
	+ **Limitless Stamina:** Juggernaut's body generates no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him unlimited stamina in all physical activities.
	+ **Invulnerability:** With his force field active, Cain is virtually invulnerable to all forms of physical injury. Cain can only be harmed by high-level mental attacks, mystical attacks, or weapons with mystical properties. In fact, when the Juggernaut's force field was negated by Mjolnir, he was still durable enough to exchange blows with Thor. Even while weakened, he proved able to withstand a blast from the cosmic entity Stranger.
		- **Force-Field:** The Juggernaut is capable of generating a personal force field around himself, which greatly enhances his physical durability, to the point that the field was even able to withstand Mjolnir and Thor's god-blast. Thor's attacks were completely ineffective against the Juggernaut, and Thor was explicitly not holding back. Indeed, Wolverine's Adamantium claws proved absolutely unable to hurt the Juggernaut.
		- **Energy Absorption and Redirection:** The Juggernaut's invulnerability also allows him to absorb energy-based attacks and redirect them at opponents.
	+ **Immortality:** The Juggernaut is immune to aging and has sometimes been depicted or implied to be unkillable under normal means.
		- **Self-Sustenance:** The Juggernaut is completely self-sustained, he has no need to breathe, eat, or drink. He does not tire, hence he cannot sleep, however his self-generating mystical energies provide him with the nourishment of sleep, nutrition, hydration, and oxygen. He is sustained by his mystical energies alone. He once even kept talking and fighting after being reduced to a skeleton.
		- **Contaminant Immunity:** The Juggernaut is also immune to all toxins, poisons, and disease.
		- **Regenerative Healing Factor:** Despite of his invulnerability, it is possible that Juggernaut can be injured. If damaged, Cain possesses a regenerative healing factor that enables him to completely regenerate with superhuman speed. For instance, he has been injured by Shatterstar's sword and healed instantly. The demon being D'Spayre once flayed the Juggernaut down to a skeleton after draining him, and even then, the Juggernaut was able to regenerate all the damage done once he regained his full power.
	+ **Irresistible Force Embodiment:** Once he begins to advance in a certain direction, it is virtually impossible to halt his movement. Some obstacles such as many tons of rocks and plasma-discharge cannons have slowed his pace but can't completely halt him. Thor's use of his god-blast allowed him to stop Juggernaut in his tracks. During a battle with "War Hulk", the mutant Apocalypse increased the Hulk's strength by grafting Celestial tech to him, which allowed Hulk to increase his strength at will, thereby enabling him to stop the Juggernaut. Spider-Man was able to defeat Juggernaut by blinding him and forcing him into a building foundation with newly-poured cement. As a result, Juggernaut sank to the bottom and was unable to move for months.
	+ **Size Manipulation:** It seems like the Juggernaut can increase in size to 80 feet (as seen during the Trion saga), and greatly decrease his size, when battling Nightmare.
	+ **Levitation:** When given enough power by the Gem, the Juggernaut can also levitate above the ground and possibly fly.
* **Decent Hand-To-Hand Fighter:** The Juggernaut has shown skill when it comes to fighting over the years. Nearly beat Thor in a fight, even gave him a tip during it. And he used sound to track Dazzler after she blinded him. He purposely let´s enemies get close so he can grab them. And while de-powered, had to rely on his skills to fight off another Juggernaut.

## Equipment

* **Juggernaut's Helmet:**The Juggernaut is not immune to psychic attacks so in order to protect himself, he wears a helmet then prevents any sort of telepathy. Even Thor, Doctor Strange, Captain Universe, and Charles Xavier himself had trouble against him when he wore it. And if it's ever destroyed, he can just make a new one.
* **Crimson Cosmos Armor:** The Juggernaut wears an armor fashioned from an unknown mystical metal found in the Crimson Cosmos dimension of Cyttorak. His helmet and armor are what give him his superhuman strength, stamina, and durability. They also give him his infamous ability to build up momentum and become nearly unstoppable.
