The Juggernaut is back!
At New York Comic Con – Marvel revealed one of the mutants’ oldest adversaries returns in Amazing X-Men #15.
Now we see why writer Chris Yost brought the Russian man of steel back into the fold.
The gem of Cyttorak falls back to Earth in The Once and Future Juggernaut.
Professor X’s brother once possessed the power. During Fear Itself Cain Marko was transformed by the power of the Asgardian God of Fear. Colossus assumed the power while in the Cyttorak dimension but after the Phoenix possession in Avengers vs. X-Men, Magik cast the Juggernaut powers of her brother.
Cain and Colossus will feel the pull of the mystical gem again.
“For both Cain and Colossus, it’s potentially life-changing,” Yost told Marvel.com. “That gem gave each of them unimaginable power, but truth be told, it brought along with it nothing but trouble. So, is that power worth it?”
“Cain is in a very different place now that he’s lost the power,” Yost says. “For the first time in a long time, he’s out of the game. Super villains, gods, never-ending fighting—it’s all behind him. So when the opportunity to reclaim it arises, Cain’s motives are unknown.
“Meanwhile, Colossus is trying to get his life back together after his brush with the power of the Juggernaut as well as the Phoenix Force. Some think that he’s going to want that power back. They’re not quite sure they can trust him with it either; last time he had power, it didn’t go so well for the planet.”
Who will become the next avatar of Cyttorak? Will Cain Marko, Colossus or someone else wear the helmet and become unstoppable?
