Professor Charles Xavier's step-brother, Cain Marko AKA Juggernaut, has served as one of the longest running enemies of the X-Men since the 1960s.

But when his best friend, Black Tom, turned against him, Juggers allied with his sibling to defeat him. After befriending a teenage mutant called Samuel that Xavier was caring for, Juggernaut agreed to stay at the X-Men's residence. During this time, Cain did his best to put his criminal past behind him to become a teacher.

Despite his change of heart, Cain was incapable of controlling his volcanic temper. In Uncanny X-Men #422, Alpha Flight invaded the team's HQ to bring Samuel back to his parents. Knowing Samuel's father beat him, Cain hospitalised one of the Alpha Flight heroes and trashed several vehicles.

However, Samuel agreed to go back to his parents to stop Cain's rampage. But in Uncanny X-Men #432, Cain learned Samuel's father was still beating him and so, hurled him through a wall and demolished his house.

Although fans had never seen Juggernaut act so protective before, this story proves he is not cut out for the superheroic lifestyle. Even when he tries to do the right thing, he can't help leaving devastation in his wake.
