Warning: Accommodates spoilers for Wonderful Spider-Man #68.deaths! Cain Marko additionally identified Juggernaut It's famously unstoppable, and the explanation why it's as a result of nature of its powers. Juggernaut shouldn't be a mutant (not less than, not in the principle continuity of Marvel Comics of Earth-616). As an alternative, he was simply an extraordinary human who was imbued with the darkish magic of an elder-genre god, Cyttorak. As its powers are primarily based on magic, Juggernaut's energy and invulnerability are past what ought to be doable, which is why he's one among Marvel's biggest powers. At the least, till it faces the one weapon that may overcome it ...
In a preview for The Wonderful Spider-Man #68.deaths By Christos Gage and Mark Buckingham, Spider-Man is useless and the X-Males have been contaminated/possessed by a cosmic power of chaos generally known as the plague. The plague took over the physique of a Cyttorak descendant named Callix, who exercised the ability of the pest to homicide Spider-Man and corrupt the X-Males. Nevertheless, given Juggernaut's reference to Cyttorak, he was not affected by Callix's assault and was not assumed by the plague. Sadly, this put an enormous goal on the again.
Each X-Males member begins to assault Juggernaut as a crew, as he's the one one who was not corrupted by the plague. Luck to Marko, Cyttorak's magical energy nonetheless flows by his veins (even when Juggernaut has reduce ties with Cyttorak in the beginning of the Krakoan period), which implies he's actually unparable, it doesn't matter what the X-Males play For him. Nicely, that is nearly true. As Juggernaut admits on this preview, Magik's soulsword is the one weapon that may actually harm itAnd possibly even kill it.
Juggernaut could be overwhelmed by Magik's sword
How is the soul sword capable of cease the unstoppable juggernaut?
Magik's soul sword has the flexibility to cease magical spells, making it a weapon that's as lethal for a magical consuming enemy as for a non-magical enemy (actually, it's nonetheless an enormous, magic or not) sword). Then, as the ability of Juggernaut is only magic -based, he's prone to the soul sword. The blade wouldn't solely reduce by Juggernaut's enchanted armor, however weaken his flesh as he reduce it, reversing Cain Marko to the human he was earlier than changing into Juggernaut - and that will occur immediately when Magik reduce or stabbed him.
It's true that this new potential weak point has by no means been examined, however primarily based on the properties of the soul sword, it's logical that it could be sufficient to harm - and even kill - Juggernaut. Along with being a brand new weak point for beforehand unstoppable juggernaut, this growth is solely transferring. Juggernaut and Magik have fashioned an in depth relationship since they grew to become X-Males teammates, making the truth that the closest good friend of Juggernaut is among the few folks within the Marvel universe who can kill him fully tragic, to say the minimal.
Not solely that, but in addition questions the very nature of your relationship. As this preview reveals, Juggernaut is the one who believes the soul sword can harm it, whereas Magik apparently has no concept precisely how lethal could be for juggernaut. Maybe that is the one purpose Marko struggled to make mates with Magik, believing that in the event that they have been real mates, she wouldn't use her weapon - one of many few who can actually harm him - in opposition to him. This stage of manipulation would make sense, given the traditional juggernaut villainy, though this fully opens your friendship.
Juggernaut's weak point of AlmaWord is unhealthy information for the brand new last universe
Magik is a super-villain on Earth-6160, which is unhealthy for the most effective juggernaut
The revelation that Magik's soul half has the ability to hurt Juggernaut shouldn't be solely impactful in the principle continuity of Marvel Comics of Earth-616, but in addition in its new continuity of Earth-6160 Also known as the New Final Universe. In Terra-6160, Illyana Rasputin (together with Colossus and Omega Pink) is the chief of the Eurasia Republic and a member of the Creator's council, together with different 'tremendous villains', who secretly govern the world. In different phrases, Magik is, herself, a brilliant villain within the last universe. Which means that when an awesome juggernaut is launched, it is going to be instantly in a lethal if it ever challenges Magik.
Whereas the concept the Juggernaut of the ultimate universe (when and whether it is launched) will probably be in peril from the primary second of its debut is thrilling, this has not overshadowed the truth that the Juggernaut of Earth-616 is dealing with this hazard now. Magik - Along with the X -Males - It was assumed by the plague and can do what you'll be able to to kill Juggernaut, as he's an enemy of the plague. And, just like the Juggernaut He himself reveals that Magik has the one weapon that may actually achieve this - let's simply await her (or anybody else) to not discover out it.
