Although at its basic level Juggernaut it is devastating, his powers get a great improvement if a condition is met. cain marco He is the possessor of the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak.

Juggernaut discovers that his greatest potential is not realized in villains
cain marco He is one of the first enemies the X-Men had in their history. The villain made his first appearance in X-Men #12 which was published in 1965, with his half-brother Charles Xavier explaining his origins. After leaving the army while fighting in the Korean War, Cain stumbled upon the Temple of Cyttorakwhere he found and touched the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak.
Juggernaut discovers the limit of his power
This connected him with a supernatural demon that feeds on destruction, transforming Cain in a character with an enormous force and that his magical abilities cannot be stopped even by his strongest opponents. However, when Colossus seized this power, became much more destructive than Cain. Cyttorak finally he explains that the heroes are his most effective avatars when it comes to acting.
When cain marco was possessed by the devil Cyttoraklos X-Men they explained that it was time for Colossus to receive the powers of the incredible Juggernaut. Colossus quickly displayed immense strength beyond what Cain ever displayed while being Juggernautand while at first it seemed that this was due to Piotr’s natural mutant ability, it quickly became apparent that Colossus was accessing a different level of power to the one that Cain Marko had at first, even transforming into a monstrous being. Taking on a new form is when he really loses himself in the destructive side of himself. Colossus then requested Cyttorak to retrieve the corrupting power from him, but Cyttorak refused, saying that the reason he had given Colossus more power than Cain was because, as a hero, was channeling much more destruction from the demon being.
The X-Men will face new threats in an imminent way
Cyttorak explained that since villains often hide behind a false facade of self-assurance, Cain’s gifts of destruction have been sporadic, while as a hero, Colossus causes a destruction that no one could end. The more destructive energies flow through the Juggernaut toward Cyttorak, the more power the demon sends into its avatar, allowing for much higher levels of strength. This was a disturbing revelation for Colossus, who explains why he had been able to access more power as a Juggernaut than Cain, once again proving to Piotr that the world could be better off without him as a hero.
Cyttorak’s revelation of the power of Colossus and the nature that heroes could be more destructive than villains means Cyttorak’s avatars can only reach the full potential of the Juggernaut while behaving like heroes. This is a revelation that speaks volumes about the damage superheroes cause the world in their attempts to save it at every turn. As a being who purely desires destruction, Cyttorak would rather serve a hero than a villain. Despite Juggernaut’s penchant for destruction, can only access his full capacity when Cyttorak is a hero. This is because Marvel’s heroes cause much more destruction than the deadliest villains.
