10 Moments When Comic Book Movie Villains Were Totally Humiliated
10. Juggernaut Is Defeated By A Wall (X-Men: The Last Stand)
Juggernaut may be more of a henchman than an outright villain, but his confrontation with Kitty Pryde is given enough of a spectacularly embarrassing ending that it merits inclusion nonetheless. During the climax of this mediocre X-Men entry, Juggernaut is sent to kill Leech, the mutant whose power cancels out any mutant powers in his vicinity. Perhaps Magneto could have considered sending a more stealthy lackey to do this job... When Kitty Pryde goes to stop him, a cat and mouse chase ensues, where Juggernaut relies on his strength to smash through wall after wall, eventually cornering both his opponent and his target in the same room. Kitty goads him by calling him a childish name, and Juggernaut's first instinct is to charge... completely ignoring the strength-sapping mutant standing right next to his opponent. In the end, Juggernaut's defeat in this film could almost be considered slapstick given how silly it is. It seems he could have learned a thing or two from Ra's Al Ghul's advice to Batman - "You must always mind your surroundings."
