The Juggernaut (Cain Marko) is a fictional character in the Marvel Comics Universe. The character first appeared in X-Men #12 (July 1965), and was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby. The stepbrother and childhood bully of X-Men founder Professor Charles Xavier became a being of unstoppable force of destruction upon touching a gem of mystical powers.
Wizard ranked the Juggernaut 188th on their list of the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time.[1] The Juggernaut appears in the 2006 film X-Men: The Last Stand where he was portrayed by Vinnie Jones.
Juggernaut first appeared on-panel in X-Men #12 (July 1965), although his presence was sensed by Professor Xavier in the previous issue. The character was created by writer Stan Lee and artist/co-writer Jack Kirby.
Although commonly appearing as a supervillain in the Marvel Universe since 1965, Juggernaut had his own one-shot in the late 1990s and was formally a hero and main character in New Excalibur. However, as of X-Men: Manifest Destiny #2 and X-Men Legacy #219, Juggernaut has been returned to his villainous roots. Find out more here.
