Juggernaut


Juggernaut, or Cain Marko, is literally the red-headed step-brother of Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. Due to a magic gem he found while he and Xavier were serving in Korea he became the magical Avatar of the demon-lord Cytorrak, an unstoppable* 'juggernaut' with incredible strength and invulnerability. He wears a magic helmet that keeps out psychic powers; it's meant to be unbreakable, but literally every fight he has with the X-Men ends with the helmet breaking and one of their fifty telepaths frying his brain.

(*Character may be unstoppable in name only, and may in fact be frequently stopped by the likes of Spider-Man.)

Because of the different textures on the chest and leg styles, you need to use the slightly different shades of brown to give the costume an overall consistent colour. You'll then use the flesh colour to section out the hand style, to make it more similar to the bands Juggernaut wears.

Unfortunately there's no chest or hand style to replicate the upper arm bands, and there's a gap between the chest and head styles where you can see the characters skin, which isn't ideal. Still the Life Shell helmet is a pretty good match for Juggernaut, and far better than anything we have had in the game up to now.

Acrobatics is good for feeling like you are charging around as the unstoppable Juggernaut. And until they finally give us serums, or something else that's better for characters with super-strength, Earth is your best bet for a power set.
