Warning : comprise looter for The Amazing Spider - Man # 67!TheJuggernautis one of the strong characters inX - Men(and even Marvel Comics ) history , and he confirms that with every passing story , perpetually proving unfeigned his cognomen : ‘ The Unstoppable Juggernaut ’ . At least , that was the showcase , until he was recently stopped in his cart track by a shameful Marvel villain , one who exhibit an unprecedented grade of military strength seemingly out of nowhere .
InThe Amazing Spider - Man#67 by Justina Ireland and Andrea Broccardo , Spider - Man is continue to refuse his fresh cosmic role bestowed upon him bySorcerer Supreme Doctor Doom . Upon come up to Sorcerer Supreme , Doom chooses Spider - Man as the Earth ’s star against the Eight Scions of Cyttorak . However , after experiencing infernal horrors beyond comprehension , Spider - Man could n’t take it anymore , and has settle to eliminate his cosmic purpose as the Earth ’s Champion . So , the XTC - Men had to step up and fight one of Cyttorak ’s soldier - including Juggernaut .
Even though the disco biscuit - serviceman were n’t officially Champions of Earth , they still cope to beat Cyttorak ’s Scion into submission , with the Juggernaut being the one who delivered the net blow . However , after this Scion admits frustration , he is of a sudden killed by his own brother , another Scion of Cyttorak named Callix . So , since the Juggernaut had already brought down the first Scion , he figured he could vex this one into submission too , though he was sorely mistaken . With a single raised hand , Callix stopped Juggernaut in his lead before throwing him through a edifice - stop over the Unstoppable Juggernaut like it was nothing .
How is Marvel Comics’ Newest Villain Strong Enough to Beat the Juggernaut?
Callix is Channeling Power Even Doctor Strange is Terrified Of
It ’s shocking that a raw type like Callix all of a sudden occur out of nowhere and is like a shot strong enough to beat out the Juggernaut like it ’s nothing ( indeed , this minute is equivalent to when theJuggernaut was flattened by Onslaughtback in the ‘ 90s ) . So , how is Callix so unattackable ? Sure , he ’s a Scion of Cyttorak , but so was the other guy who the Juggernaut made jolly prompt workplace of . Well , it seems Callix is n’t relying on the power of Cyttorak , but rather something far more terrific : the Blight .
As Doctor Strange explicate to Peter Parker in this issue , the Blight is an unvanquishable cosmic force out that does nothing but spread chaos wherever it goes . In fact , Strange made a deal with Cyttorak to keep the universe hidden from the Blight , and in paying back , Cyttorak would have the chance to take over the world with his scion ( if they were strong enough to pulsate Earth ’s Champion ) . However , now that Spider - Man has quit being Earth ’s maven , it seems Cyttorak has allowed the Blight to ‘ see ’ the Earth , and it ’s using Callix as its avatar .
Juggernaut’s Latest Defeat Continues a Troubling Trend
Marvel Comics has Recently Nerfed the Juggernaut
While it makes sense that Callix would be strong enough to beat the Juggernaut if he is , in fact , transmit the terrifying power of the Blight , this moment is still the in vogue in a worrisome trend regarding the Juggernaut . late , Marvel Comics has been nerfing the Juggernaut , reducing him to nothing more than the ‘ muscular tissue ’ of the X - Men , rather than a powerful character subject of take on the the likes of of Thor , Doctor Strange , and the full ten - Men squad solo . So , while the logic tracks , it ’s still disappointing to see the Juggernaut getting kill this easily .
The Juggernaut is a very different character today than he was upon his 10 - Men first appearance , but it seems like Marvel Comics is going to mess up all that up .
Hopefully , the Juggernaut will bounce back from this loss - and the many losses he ’s suffered lately - and ransom himself as a truly unstoppable powerhouse . But , as it stands , theJuggernautis down , and the character who best theX - Menicon is a sincerely shocking one , indeed .
