Juggernaut

[Shogunn2517]

I was wondering what your Juggernaut looks like?

I originally had him a pretty invulnerable guy basis from what I thought I knew about him from old comics and animated shows.  But reading through, I think I'm quite sure he's not invulnerable at all but extremely durable and an take a lot of punishment.  Then again, at the same time, I've seen in certain cases he's been able to take some attacks pretty much unphased at all.

Right now I gave him Physical Resistance and stone make-up, which makes him pretty solid and can still take on a bunch of punishment and gie it out just as well.  But a good number of X-Men can still take him down and he's nowhere nearly able to take on my Thor or Hulk or anyone else on that level anymore...

Thoughts?

Well, if I remember correctly, Juggernaut had an invisible aura of energy surrounding him that shrugged off most attacks and that he can go toe-to-toe with the Hulk, which ended in a stalemate with Hulk using Juggernaut's unstoppable ability against him (he made him charge into the bottom of a lake), so he is pretty powerful.

I used to have him (I decided to start remaking characters), but I gave him Physical Resistance, Heavy Lifter, Mindless (to simulate his helmet), made him Stone, gave him a Passvie defence to represent his energy aura, and made him as heavy as possible via EZ Hero.

From Marvel Directory:

"The Juggernaut possesses untold power, mystical in nature, which enhances his strength to an as yet unknown degree and makes him a seemingly irresistible, unstoppable being. Once he begins to walk in a certain direction, no obstacle or force on Earth has been observed to be able to stop him. Apparently, only he can stop himself. Some obstacles (many tons of rock, for example) or forces (such as plasma-discharge cannons) may slow his pace considerably, but nothing has yet stopped him permanently from advancing.

Besides giving him vast superhuman strength, the mystical energy of Cyttorak gives the Juggernaut an extraordinary degree of resistance to all forms of injury. The Juggernaut can shield himself even further from injury by mentally surrounding himself with a force field. Enveloped by his force field, the Juggernaut has survived the fiery explosion of a truck transporting a huge quantity of oil without any injury whatsoever. The Juggernaut can survive indefinitely without food, water, or oxygen. He is sustained by his mystical energies alone."

It's close to what you were saying.  What I'm trying to figure his that "force field" part.  He's not invulnerable, but can generate a force field(a active defense??) to protect himself even further?  Or is there a way to punch through the field?

Wikipedia says this:

As the Juggernaut, Marko possesses superhuman strength; being capable of shattering mountains,[8] lifting and using buildings as weapons;[46] extreme durability,[21] which is also amplified by a mystical force field that grants near invulnerability.

It further states that his abilities include:

Superhuman strength, stamina, and durability
Regenerative healing factor
Force field generation
Virtually unstoppable momentum

What about using one of the two Energy Shield attributes?

The "energy aura" was just thin enough to make it seem like you were punching him, but also strong enough to resist virtually anything you throw at him (but mental abilities can get through it). If I remember correctly, it also allowed him to no longer need food, water, or even air. He does possess near unstoppable momentum which is what makes him "unstoppable".

If I were you, I'd make a passive defense that deflects all attacks (except mental and mystical) and all attack types (except direct). Maybe make it occasional (or frequent if you'd like). That can go over his physical resistance and stone attributes to make him pretty resistant. I wouldn't give him any regenerative ablities (besides his herioc revival) just to keep him somewhat balanced. I made his health 8 (along with Superman, Hulk, and Thor) so that way I can have galactic beings such as Galactus and Thanos have more health than he does. I wouldn't really go as far as to give him an active defense, but that's all up to you.

with his helmet on mental attack couldnt phase him.yeah, he was pretty well layered.near invulnerable plus a mystic force field.rob leifeld was the one that started the healing thing.when he took over x-force he pulled a bendis and changed the marvel universe's physics.shatterstar(i think thats his name) drove his swords into jugg's eyes blinding him.how that happened dunno?always wondered if juggernaut could take one of galactus's cosmic blasts. Hmmmm...?! as far as thanos, he's in the same class as thor and hulk as far as toughness.
