15 Superpowers Juggernaut Has That Are Way Too Powerful (And 5 ...

In 1965, Stan Lee created the character Cain Marko, who is the stepbrother of Charles Xavier. While serving with the US Army, Marko finds a temple dedicated to the entity Cyttorak. In this temple he finds the Gem of Cyttorak and reads the inscription on it, which channels a portion of Cyttorak’s power into Marko. He gains incredible power and is henceforth known as Juggernaut. Juggernaut has made appearances in a number of X-Men cartoons and in the 2006 movie X-Men: The Last Stand. However, after appearing in the smash hit Deadpool 2 in 2018, Juggernaut is more popular than ever. Most people know that he is extremely strong, but that only scratches the surface of his power. The Gem of Cyttorak bestows Juggernaut with far more strength than what is seen in Deadpool 2 and grants him a number of immensely powerful abilities the movie didn’t even touch on. The powers he gains from the Gem actually make him one of the most powerful beings in the Marvel universe.

Juggernaut is so powerful it is hard to believe a team of X-Men could handle him on their own. His strength and durability are seemingly infinite and unmatched across the universe. In many areas, Juggernaut is too powerful for a small team of mutants to handle. He should be one of the most dangerous threats in the universe and, instead, he is often underutilized. However, amongst his vast powerset there are a few weak outliers. In the following list, we take a look at 15 of Juggernaut’s superpowers that are way too powerful and five of his powers that are far too weak.

20 WEAK: MATTER MANIPULATION

When Juggernaut has unlocked complete access to the Gem to become Trion Juggernaut, he has shown that he has the power to manipulate matter. However, he can only manipulate the size of objects. Again, it seems a little restrictive for the Gem of Cyttorak to grant him a new ability, but on a fairly minor scale. Juggernaut has little need to make a rock into a boulder and throw it at someone. He is an unstoppable force with incredible strength and speed, who never tires; why would he take the time to enlarge an item to use as a weapon? We can’t think of many situations where he would use this minor power.

19 POWERFUL: UNLIMITED KINETIC ENERGY

Juggernaut has a number of powers, but he does not have many nicknames. One of the few names he is often called is “the Unstoppable Juggernaut”. It wasn’t just picked because it sounds catchy, as Juggernaut is literally unstoppable. He is able to create an unlimited amount of kinetic energy and once he is in motion, he is impossible to stop.

In the past, Hulk has been able to slow him down, but never actually stop him. In one instance, Juggernaut ran straight through a mountain. That’s right, a mountain. When Juggernaut gets moving, no one stands a chance against him.

18 POWERFUL: SUPER STRENGTH

Juggernaut is one of the strongest beings in the universe. He is often able to best Thor and Hulk in battle, as even the strongest incarnations of Hulk cannot overpower Juggernaut. His fists are not only used for punching, as he can cause earthquakes of great magnitude by smashing them into the ground or sometimes by fighting another powerful being. At one point, Juggernaut created a massive force that blew back a number of Generation-X members by clapping his hands together. There are not many characters in the Marvel Universe who can go toe-to-toe with Juggernaut and live to tell the story.

17 POWERFUL: DURABILITY

Don’t be distracted by this guy’s big red suit; Juggernaut is extremely durable without it. He cannot be harmed by any physical weapon and has even withstood blows from Thor. In The Amazing Spider-Man #629, Juggernaut effortlessly dug through the earth’s bedrock, where he faced inconceivable amounts of pressure as he traveled further into the earth’s core. Due to the powerful gravitational force beneath the surface of the Earth, the surrounding rocks would crush the average super-character, but he was able to withstand it. Digging through the bedrock shows Juggernaut’s immense strength, but it is the ability to withstand the pressure that shows his immeasurable durability.

16 WEAK: HELMET CREATION

Juggernaut has shown that he possesses the ability to create matter. However, the only thing he can create is his helmet, which is helpful if it is destroyed in battle. For a Gem that can supply him with immeasurable power in many of his other abilities, it seems a little weak that Juggernaut is only able to create one specific item. This power allows for a small and exciting window of opportunity to attack Juggernaut when his helmet is destroyed and he is conjuring up a new one. Unfortunately, it only leaves us wondering why he can’t magically create anything else.

15 POWERFUL: STAMINA

The energy from the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak that flows through Juggernaut’s body completely sustains him. He doesn’t need oxygen, food or water to survive, which means he has unlimited stamina. Juggernaut can keep his unstoppable body in motion forever without becoming fatigued or needing to replenish lost energy. This is also a powerful asset in a fist fight. Even the incredible stamina of Hulk cannot match up to Juggernaut. If the two were locked in a battle the Hulk would fade first and while it might take a number of days, he would be the one to tire, with Juggernaut victorious.

14 POWERFUL: SUPER SPEED

Juggernaut is a gigantic human. He stands almost ten feet tall and weighs close to 2,000 lbs. Even at this immense size, he has the ability of superhuman speed. His huge leg muscles can carry his frame as fast as 600 miles per hour, which is approaching the speed of sound at 767 miles per hour. Juggernaut is able to turn his body into a weapon at this incredible speed and his added power of unlimited kinetic energy means there is no way to stop him. It seems unlikely that an impossibly strong, tireless being who cannot be injured would need to run away, but whichever way he’s headed, steer clear.

13 POWERFUL: HEALING FACTOR

While Juggernaut cannot be harmed by any physical weapon, he can be harmed by mystical weapons from beings of immense power. Once he is injured by the attack, the gem immediately heals his wounds. At one point Juggernaut was diminished to a skeleton by D’Spayre and the gem completely regenerated his body within seconds. Juggernaut may have the fastest healing factor in the Marvel Universe. As long as there is a single molecule left in his body, he will regenerate to his original form. There is almost no point to him getting injured at all, as his level of healing makes him too powerful.

12 WEAK: LEVITATION

When Juggernaut gained complete control of the Gem and became Trion Juggernaut, he gained the power of levitation. While it may sound cool, levitation is actually a weak version of a flight power. Sure, he can float in the air, but the power of levitation implies that he cannot travel quickly. Levitation is like the hot air balloon of flying powers; it is technically flying, but you aren’t going to use it if you’re in a hurry. For a character that has super-speed, we wonder why he would ever use his levitation power. It seems a little too weak for the (predominantly) overpowered Juggernaut.

11 POWERFUL: FORCE FIELD PROTECTION

As we have already stated, Juggernaut is a very durable being. He cannot be physically harmed in any way. He also wears indestructible, completely unnecessary body armor. If there was a physical force that could somehow manage to penetrate his armor and damage his body, it would first have to make it through a force field that Juggernaut constantly has surrounding him. This force field can stop any and all physical attacks. Nothing can penetrate it, even Cyclops’ full optic blast, which is said to have the power to rip a planet in half. Good luck getting through that outer layer of protection to harm Juggernaut.
