Hi guys,
today has been a very lucky day for me since I received the Juggernaut
I am happy beyond words and thrilled beyond limits to have this sculpture of the unstoppable force of nature finally in my collection.
Let me tell you guys that this is a behemoth of a statue, big, bulky and muscular with a good weight to it and as such it is a very fitting tribute to the Exemplar of Physical Strength, the Avatar of Cyttorak!
The Juggernaut is one of the strongest characters in the MU and this sttaue shows that he means business it's time to pack your stuff and start running!
It took me a while to get this statue but now that I finally have it I know one thing for sure and that is that this bad boy is here to stay.
This is the Juggernaut ready to kick ass and -------! really managed to show us the big, mean, fighting machine which the Juggernaut is. Juggernaut is an engine of destruction, an unstoppable tower of power and the kind of behemoth who will knock you out the hard way before you even realized what hit you.
An angry Juggernaut looking for you is not what you want ever but unfortunately Charles Xavier and his X-Men somehow pissed off the big man in a royal and unforgivable way.
Disaster is coming to the X-Men's residence and the time has come to separate the men from the boys!
I have taken quite a number of pics and I will share them with you shortly.
Alright then, enough of the talking; let's walk the walk with the unstoppable force of nature!
Have fun with the pics but remember not to draw Juggy's attention to you since you really do not want Juggy to come after you after he has finished his stepbrother Charles and his pitiful students!
Be careful or you will be the next one to bite the dust!
=====================================
The Fabled Enchantment of Cyttorak:
"
Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak.
Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human Juggernaut!"
"C'mon, c'mon already... ya losers."
"So you call yourselves the New X-Men, do you? Well, among the lot of you -- Who will stop the Juggernaut?"
- Cain Marko a.k.a. The Juggernaut -
There are plenty of ways that you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he`s down, yeah
But I`m ready, yes I`m ready for you
I`m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating to the sound of the beat
Oh yeah
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone and another one gone
Another one bites the dust, yeah
Hey, I`m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

Background Information
Cain Marko’s mother died when he was very young, leaving him to live a life of psychological and physical torment at the hands of his abusive father, atomic researcher Doctor Kurt Marko.
Following the death of his colleague Doctor Brian Xavier, Kurt married Xavier's widow Sharon and he and Cain took up residence in the Xavier's Westchester mansion with Sharon and her young son, Charles.
Kurt seemingly preferred Charles to his own son, which consumed Cain with jealousy and he took to bullying his stepbrother.
Cain's father continued to beat him, but Cain did not suffer the abuse alone. Inexperienced at the use of his emerging mutant telepathic powers, Charles shared the pain and inadvertently learned of Cain's jealousy towards him.
This only ensured that Cain would forever hate Charles for his unwitting betrayal.
After an argument with his father, Cain accidentally caused a fire to engulf his father's home laboratory. Kurt saved Charles first, and then went back for Cain, reinforcing Cain's belief that his father loved Charles more than he.
Kurt died of smoke inhalation, but not before warning Charles to always beware of Cain.
Soon after, both Cain and Charles were drafted into military service and served in same unit. When Cain deserted under fire during a mission in Asia, Charles pursued, hoping to convince his stepbrother to return of his own accord. Charles followed Cain into a cave that housed the lost temple of Cyttorak, a powerful mystical entity.
Therein, Cain unearthed the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak and, upon touching it, was transformed by its mystical energies into a human juggernaut. A subsequent cave-in buried Cain, and Charles believed his stepbrother dead.
Cain eventually dug himself free and made his way to America where he sought to use his newfound strength to exact revenge on Charles.

Powers and Abilities
Juggernaut is an avatar for the deity known as Cyttorak. Juggernaut gains various superhuman powers while acting as an avatar, as described below
Powers
Superhuman Strength:
The Juggernaut possesses vast superhuman strength the limits of which are unknown. He was able to go toe to toe against an enraged World War Hulk until the moment Cain was outsmarted and removed from the field of battle .
Superhuman Stamina:
The mystical energies of Cyttorak that empower his musculature generate no fatigue toxins during physical activity, granting him limitless superhuman stamina in all physical activities.
Invulnerability:
Cain is virtually impregnable to all forms of conventional physical injury regardless of magnitude or intensity. Although Cain is able to be harmed by exceedingly high levels of mental or mystical attacks, these attacks have rarely been shown to cause any permanent damage.
Regenerative Healing Factor:
Despite his extreme resistance to physical damage, Cain can be damaged by sufficiently powerful forces such as mystical forces. If damaged, Cain possesses an accelerated healing factor that enables him to nearly instantly regenerate any damaged or destroyed bodily tissues. For instance, he has been injured by Shatterstar's sword, which is forged from a mixture of extra dimensional technology and magic and healed instantly.
The demon being D'Spayre once flayed the Juggernaut down to a skeleton only after absorbing almost all of the Juggernaut's power and even then, the Juggernaut could not be stopped and was able to instantly regenerate all the damage done once he regained his full power. The only other time the Juggernaut has been physically injured is by the likes of Thor in a physical battle, and that was only after Thor used Mjolnir to negate his mystical enchantment.
Immortality:
Cain is functionally immortal. His aging process is completely halted and he is immune to the effects of all toxins, poisons and diseases. He is also sustained by the mystical energies flowing through his body and has no need to eat, drink or breathe.
Force Field:
The Juggernaut is capable of generating a personal force field around himself, extending to about 1 foot in diameter. He uses this force field to heighten his already impressive resistance to injury. In his earliest appearances, he is able to use this force generating ability to hurl people and objects near him away from him, though now it seems to function only defensively.
Rampant Charge:
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 stop him.
The only known examples of him being stopped involve physical force with mystical involvement which is Juggernaut's sole weakness.
Thor unleashing his power was able to stop him in his tracks but his powers are mystical in origin and during a battle with War (Hulk), in which the mutant Apocalypse, increased the Hulk's strength and power enormously by grafting Celestial tech to him, which again involved mysticism.
Abilities:
Juggernaut is able to summon and remove his mystic armor at will. As a result of his days in the military and his experience as a superhuman criminal and hero, the Juggernaut is a brutal hand-to-hand combatant, preferring to use street fighting and brawling techniques that allow him to make full use of his great strength.
Strength Level:
Class 100+ ; The Juggernaut possesses vast physical strength which exact limit is unknown but he is able to lift far in excess of 100 tons effortlessly. He is one of the strongest beings to ever walk the Earth.
Weakness:
Cain is susceptible to exceedingly high levels of mental and mystical attack. Both have been shown to be able to at least temporarily defeat him but neither have been shown to cause any type of permanent injury.
A Personal Tribute To The Juggernaut!
Thunder and lightning
The breaking of glass
An earthquake of violence
A hurricane which lasts
A volcano of danger
A tornado of strength
The destructive force of nature
Wreaking havoc close at hand
There is nowhere to hide
And nowhere to run
Your fate is sealed
Your doom has come…
The sound of your fear
Is like a drum beaten hard
Now that you are certain
… The Juggernaut is near!
- Force of Nature -
