enhancement derived from the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak contained within
the
Ruby of Cyttorak; granting superhuman strength, endurance,
durability and possibly immortality. Able to live
without nutrition, water or air for indefinite periods of time. Limited abilities to control mystic forces by utilizing knowledge obtained while trapped within the Crimson Dimension. Note: The Ruby of Cyttorak contains the ancient god of destruction Cyttorak, one of eight ancient gods known as the Exemplars. Through Cain Marko's force of will, he was able to resist the transformation into Cyttorak, although he was able to harness the god's power. The only known way to stop Juggernaut is via mental attacks, which he is shielded from by his helmet. |

Marko, the step-brother of Charles Xavier (Professor
X), grew to hate his sibling, born of a frustration from his father's
abuse for him and his apparent love of Xavier. Xavier became aware
of his mutant powers of telepathy, from an empathic link with his sibling,
experienced during his many beatings at the hands of his father. After the two were orphaned Xavier journeyed the world in search of adventure and other mutants, while Marko became a mercenary and became imprisoned in a third-world prison, where he met Black Tom Cassidy. Returning to the United States, Marko enlisted in the Army and was shipped to war in South-East Asia, where the two brothers would be reunited. Marko abandoned his post during combat and Xavier went to retrieve him. When Xavier tracked him, Marko was hiding in the secret temple of Cyttorak. Finding a mysterious glowing ruby gem, Marko instinctively stole it from the idol and began to transform. At the moment of his transformation, enemy soldiers discovered the two soldiers and the temple was destroyed in an explosion. Xavier escaped, but Marko was buried under tons of rubble. In time he would dig his way free to menace his brother and the world as an unstoppable Juggernaut. |
