Powers and Abilities
When Cain Marko found the Gem of the mystical entity Cyttorak, he was empowered with magical energies and transformed into an immortal avatar for the entity in question. As the Juggernaut, Marko possesses superhuman strength, being capable of shattering mountains, lifting and using buildings as weapons, and extreme durability.
His durability is amplified by a mystical force field that grants him additional invulnerability to any physical attack (at its maximum). Even when the force field was temporarily absorbed by Thor's hammer,
the Juggernaut's natural durability still proved to be great enough to
withstand blows from Thor. The Juggernaut is described as physically unstoppable once in motion, does not tire from physical activity and is able to survive without food, water, or oxygen.
It is possible for an opponent with sufficient physical or mystical
strength of their own to turn the Juggernaut's unstoppable movement
against him, by redirecting his motion so he gets stranded in a position
in which he has no escape; both the Hulk and his son, Skaar, have
managed this feat physically, and Thor has managed this feat mystically with Mjolnir. The only character to have stopped Juggernaut while he was in motion as
an act of pure physical strength was the Hulk while he was War, a
horseman of Apocalypse.
The character is vulnerable to mental attacks, a weakness that has been exploited via the removal of his helmet. The Juggernaut has circumvented this weakness on occasion by wearing a metal skullcap inside his main helmet. If Juggernaut loses his helmet he can magically recreate it from
available raw materials (as long as he possesses the full power of the
gem)..

In Other Media - Film (Juggernaut)
- In X-Men: The Last Stand, Juggernaut (played by Vinnie Jones) serves as one of Magneto's Brotherhood Alliance army. In this version, he is a mutant with no explicit connection to Charles Xavier, his mutation granting him the inability to be halted once he starts running, and superhuman strength sufficient to fight Wolverine to a standstill. During the battle on Alcatraz Island, Magneto orders him to destroy the cure, but is foiled by Kitty Pryde and knocks himself out when he attempts to run through a wall while in the presence of the power-negating Leech. Vinnie Jones has said he would like to reprise Juggernaut in a spin-off, as he felt there was too little time in X-Men: The Last Stand to imbue the character with depth.
- Although Cain Marko himself doesn't appear in the film, two characters directly related to him are briefly featured in X-Men: First Class. In the opening sequences of the film, Mystique appears impersonating Cain's stepmother Sharon, while the real appears in a photograph. Additionally, later in the film, Charles Xavier mentions Cain's father Kurt, when he states "my stepfather took the threat of nuclear war seriously", to justify to Alex Summers the existence of a bunker under the mansion of the Xavier family.
