History: From an early age, Cain Marko had problems with authority. His parents separated when he was young, and Cain spent many years bouncing in and out of boarding schools. His father, a noted biochemist, once worked with Dr. Brian Xavier, a geneticist. Brian Xavier died in a lab accident, and Kurt soon married Brian's wealthy widow, Sharon, as much for her wealth as for their mutual comfort. Kurt moved into Sharon's mansion in Westchester County, New York, and after being kicked out of yet another boarding school Cain moved in as well.

Dr. Marko favored his stepson, Charles, over his own son, which led to Cain bullying the young Charles and Dr. Marko secretly beating Cain. Cain was abusive to his stepbrother at every opportunity. Charles' telepathic powers began emerging when he was still a boy, around ten, and, on one occasion, he found himself experiencing the anguished thoughts and emotions of Cain after Cain had been beaten by his father. The inexperienced young Charles could not control nor end his contact with Cain's mind at this time. Somehow, Cain sensed that Charles was reading his mind and had discovered his secret shame.

Not long after, Sharon died in a car accident, leaving Dr. Marko to care for both boys. During an argument in Dr. Marko's private laboratory over money, Cain accused him of having a hand in Dr. Xavier's "accidental" death. Dr. Marko was quick to be steadfast in defending himself, taking Cain by the collar of his coat and yelling at him to "never say that again". Charles was outside the door, however, and overheard the conversation. When Cain realized Charles's presence, he intended to cause a ruckus by destroying some of his father's chemical experiments, throwing a vial of green liquid that caused similar containers to shatter, spilling the chemicals throughout the laboratory. The collision of the different substances caused a violent explosion that left the lab aflame. Though Dr. Marko managed to rescue both Cain and Charles from the fire, he himself died of smoke inhalation. In his dying words, Dr. Marko begged forgiveness for not saving Dr. Xavier when he had the chance.

Cain continued to live in the Xavier mansion, growing increasingly resentful of his step-brother's scholastic and athletic achievements as well as his telepathic powers (which Charles mastered as he grew older) while Charles entered England's Oxford University. Cain ultimately left home around the age of 16, dropping out of school completely to travel to Africa to join a mercenary force there. It was while serving as a soldier of fortune in the Congo basin that he formed a friendship with the Irish mercenary Tom Cassidy.

Cain eventually once again encountered his stepbrother during a mission in Korea; Charles, at the time serving with the US Army, was stationed just south of the demilitarized zone that serves as the border between North and South Korea. Separated from their respective units during an intense off-the-record firefight, the two brothers stumbled into a cave which turned out to be a lost temple dedicated to a deity or demon named Cytorrak (reports are uncertain as to which the entity really is). On a pedestal sat a giant glowing ruby, which Cain impulsively grabbed. The ruby had an inscription, enchanted to appear in the reader's native language, which read, as Cain recited it, "Whosoever touches this gem shall possess the power of the Crimson Bands of Cyttorak. Henceforth, you who read these words shall become forevermore a human juggernaut." Before Charles's eyes, Cain grew about a foot taller and more muscled than ever before. At that moment, an earthquake – possibly caused by a bombing run – caused the cave the temple was in to collapse. Charles made it to safety, but Cain was trapped under tons of rubble. Charles, however, could telepathically sense that his brother was still alive but was unable to convince his superiors that anyone could have survived the cave-in where Cain was buried.

Due to the energies empowering his body, Cain didn't need to eat or breathe, and over a decade later managed to free himself from the cave. Thinking that Charles had intentionally left him behind to die, Cain sought vengeance on his stepbrother. Making his way back to the States, Cain learned that years before Charles had turned the family mansion where they grew up into a school for the superpowered. Cain, now calling himself the Juggernaut, was contacted by Magneto, who sought to add the Juggernaut's might to the Brotherhood, which Cain arrogantly refused. Despite this, Cain walked away with one of Magneto's telepathy-shielding helmets, which he reshaped into something, in his words, "less dorky-looking."

Sensing his brother's approach, Charles called upon several students and alumni of the school, including the X-Men, to assist in defending it and him. During the battle, the Juggernaut effortlessly swatted aside or ignored all attempts to stop him, until one of the X-Men, Iceman, noticed that the helmet appeared to be an add-on. A concerted effort by Cyclops, Havok, and Polaris managed to remove the helmet, and Cain was knocked unconscious by Xavier and Soulfire combining their telepathy.

Charles then took custody of his brother, keeping him unconscious in the Institute's sub-basement infirmary while he tried to telepathically reason with him in his dreams. During one of these sessions, Cain was freed while leaving Charles unconscious on the floor. Ignoring his brother, Cain made his way upstairs, but could not bring himself to destroy the school, as he had a few good memories of the mansion growing up. Vowing instead to destroy his brother's legacy, he left for New York City, where he encountered his old friend Black Tom Cassidy in a bar on the west side. The two decided to team up to fight the X-Men, as they are the most visible alumni of the Xavier Institute, and once again the Juggernaut was defeated by being unable to prevent Soulfire from telepathically putting him to sleep.

Despite his power, he waited patiently in jail, becoming known as a model prisoner, until taking advantage of a mass breakout led by the Rhino. How and where the Juggernaut will be encountered next is anyone's guess.
Age: 41.
Height: 7'.
Weight: 750 lbs.
Eyes: Brown.
Hair: Brown.
Uniform: Metallic red sleeveless bodysuit, metallic red helmet, metallic red boots.
Strength Level: The Juggernaut possesses superhuman strength enabling him to bench press in excess of five hundred tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: In addition to his strength, the Juggernaut is incredibly durable, almost invulnerable, able to shrug off HEAT rounds from a modern battle tank practically unscathed. He does not need to eat, drink, or breathe, though he does still need to sleep. When he does manage to take damage (which is extremely rare), he is able to heal the wounds in seconds. He is also impervious to cellular damage from radiation, environmental concerns such as the bends and explosive decompression, intense pressures as those in the deepest ocean trenches, and pain. His body generates fatigue poisons at 1/10 the usual rate, and he recovers from fatigue in record time.

As part of the Juggernaut's power, he is able to conjure his uniform around him at will.

Even before gaining the power of the Juggernaut, Cain was able to tell whenever a psychic was reading his mind.
Other Abilities: Before becoming the Juggernaut, Cain Marko was an experienced soldier. Presumably he still retains those skills. It is also believed that Cytorrak has gifted him with several combat skills he didn't know before.
Limitations: The Juggernaut's only real weakness is that he is vulnerable (though no more so than most people) to psychic attacks. His helmet has been developed to help him shield against these attacks, but locks his head forward, making him unable to look around him and blocks his peripheral vision.

Juggernaut: What's wrong, Charlie? No warm welcome for your dear stepbrother?
Charles Xavier: You are always welcome in my home, Cain. It is your choice of friends I question.

Role-Playing Notes:

Cain is a man who is prone to bouts of violence. He knows that he is virtually unstoppable, and is more than willing to leave a trail of destruction behind him. He is driven to destroy his step-brother's legacy, though a small part of him wonders why. Truth is, he's being driven by Cytorrak to be his instrument of destruction; it's Cain's subconscious mind that is directing this destruction at his step-brother.

Design Notes:

1. Half of Juggy's points are tied up in his DR. He's virtually unstoppable; I hope I didn't make him too unstoppable in play.
