Juggernautis an rummy fibre in the Marvel Universe . Despite being one of the most placeable ten - Men villain and despite his step - comrade being none other thanProfessor X himself , Cain Marco is not a mutant . or else of his powers come up from a mutation , they come from a gemstone that possesses the ability of a helter-skelter god named Cyttorak . This has made his iconic armour an important part of his graphic symbol , which is why it ’s one of the only things he cares about . But inJuggernaut # 1,Cain ’s novel costume could only be forged after give up his old armor .
The last time readers saw Juggernaut in the chief Marvel Universe , he made the misunderstanding ofconfronting a possessed Magik . In her diabolical form , Magik ripped the gem out of Juggernaut ’s armor and banished him to Limbo , the realm of magic she controls . Juggernaut # 1shows a revitalized Cain still reeling from what he went through between then and the present . Without the jewel , Cain has no choice but to take off his armor and drag it with him to the one thing in Limbo that can save him .

A twisted tree made of hands indicate in dissimilar direction , the Signpost is not unforced to let multitude travel between property without give something up first . Cain hesitates , making jokes to delay the inevitable , but eventually gives the tree the only matter that ’s ever been important to him . With a sonorous sum , Juggernaut hangs his helmet on one of the Signpost ’s subdivision . The Signpost recognizes the sacrifice and sends Cain out of Limbo and back to Earth . A smattering of months later on , Juggernaut is back in actionwith a novel set of armour and his powers restored , two things that he refuses to explain .
While a costume might seem like an odd forfeiture , what really sell the minute ’s weight is thewriting by Fabien Niciezaand the prowess by Ron Garney . Garney ’s artwork makes reader palpate just how scrawny Cain is without his magnate . The rough lines of his look when he give way up his armour show that Cain understand what giving this up means . His line about this being the only thing he ever cared about work as an effectual catgut punch to highlight the moment .
On a meta - level , this will no doubt provoke a reaction from longtime laughable fans . Juggernaut ’s armor is such an important and iconic part of his persona that changing it feels like changing the full fiber , which is fitting . The issue shows that Juggernaut is legitimately trying to be a zep this time as he useshis huge power to clean upin the wake ofEmpyre . Juggernaut # 1shows that real change takes existent sacrifice .
