American comics: Starting as the Jinchūriki of the One-Tailed Beast

Chapter 162 The Evil God's Chosen One

Wol Town.

An ordinary little town in the American continent.

After Nightwalker sensed the energy burst from Jean Grey's transformation into the Dark Phoenix, Roy followed Magneto and the others to this small town.

Qin's home is here.

Twenty years ago, Professor X and Magneto came to the town and recruited Jean Grey into the mutant school.

Time passes.

The town looks much the same as it did twenty years ago.

The same goes for Qin's home.

Upon arriving in the town, Roy and Magneto did not immediately enter Jean's house. Instead, they stood on the street in front of the house, watching a silver-white sedan.

To be precise, they were watching the three people who got out of the silver sedan.

Professor X, sitting in an electric wheelchair, impeccably dressed in a suit, with no hair on his head.

And Wolverine and Storm, dressed in brown and dark blue leather jackets.

There are quite a few X-Men members today.

But now that Cyclops has been killed and Jean Grey has "turned evil" into Dark Phoenix, Professor X has not brought Iceman, Shadowcat, Colossus, and others with him, only Wolverine and Storm.

Wolverine excels at close-quarters combat and is a typical melee unit.

Storm, whose superpower is weather manipulation and can summon lightning, tornadoes, blizzards, etc., is skilled in ranged attacks.

With Professor X, the most powerful telepath, added to the mix, their trio is exceptionally well-rounded.

Compared to Professor X's team, Magneto's team is significantly weaker.

Putting aside Roy who joined the group, the five members of Fireman, Juggernaut, Hedgehogman, Nightwalker, and Arc Light lacked synergy in teamwork, and their superpowers were not very compatible.

Fireman can control flames to launch ranged attacks.

However, compared to Storm, he is clearly much weaker as he can only control fire.

Of the remaining four Red Tank members, only Arc Light can release shockwaves by striking enemies with his hands and feet, allowing him to attack them from a distance.

In terms of ranged attack capabilities alone, even combined, Fireman and Arc Warden are far less well-rounded than Storm alone.

As for melee combat...

If it were the Juggernaut from the comics, he alone could pose a huge threat to Professor X and his two companions.

Unfortunately, this is not a comic book universe, but a cinematic universe.

In the comic book universe, Juggernaut is Professor X's nominal brother.

Red Tank's father coveted Professor X's mother's wealth and married her, becoming Professor X's stepfather.

Juggernaut and Professor X are not related by blood, nor is Juggernaut a mutant.

Moreover, because of his outstanding older brother, Professor X, he was beaten and verbally abused by his father from a young age.

After learning that Professor X was a mutant, he felt resentful and consequently began to hate other mutants.

Although he's not a mutant, Juggernaut is quite lucky.

When the Korean War broke out, he and Professor X were drafted to fight in South Korea.

During a battle, they accidentally stumbled into a forest and discovered a cave there.

There is an ancient temple inside the cave.

A temple dedicated to the "evil god" Setorak.

Cytorak is the ruler of the Crimson Universe, and is an omniscient and omnipotent being within it.

For Cytorak, distorting space or erasing time is as simple as breathing.

Let's return to the temple.

A ruby ​​was enshrined on the altar of the temple.

The Red Tank didn't know what the ruby ​​was and curiously touched it.

Then he received the power bestowed upon him by Setorak.

The cave collapsed the moment he touched the ruby ​​and gained the power of Cytorak.

Professor X escaped successfully, but Juggernaut was trapped inside the collapsed cave.

Fortunately, he had already obtained the power bestowed upon him by Cytorak and became the chosen "Juggernaut" of the evil god Cytorak, escaping the cave with the power he had just acquired.

After escaping, he attempted to seek revenge on Professor X, but was ultimately defeated by the X-Men.

In the years that followed, he fought the X-Men several times, also battled and teamed up with the Hulk, and even had a one-night stand with She-Hulk.

After losing most of his powers, he reconciled with Professor X and joined the X-Men.

Besides being an X-Men member, he also went undercover and joined the new Brotherhood of Mutants formed by Black Tom Cassidy.

After Scarlet Witch Wanda's outburst that triggered the "Royal M" incident, he joined the London division of the British team "Godsword".

In the major event "Fear Itself", he was also chosen by Odin's brother, the evil god Serpent, and gained the Serpent's power, becoming the Hammer Lord.

Cytorak, knowing he had become the Hammermaster, stripped him of his powers and chose Magik, Colossus's sister, to become the new Juggernaut.

Colossus, not wanting Magik to become the Juggernaut, accepted the Juggernaut's curse in Magik's place and became the new Juggernaut.

Colossus did not serve as the new Red Tank for long.

After Professor X's death, Cytorak sent the gem back to Earth.

In order to completely destroy the gem, Colossus attempted to reach a deal with Cyttorak.

Cytorak did not agree to the agreement, but instead bestowed power upon Cain once again.

During his fight with Colossus, he was tricked by Colossus, the ground he was standing on was destroyed, he fell off a cliff and was buried alive.

After Colossus and the others left, he crawled out of the ground, having been buried alive.

And then, he never appeared again.

Because his power comes from the evil god Cyttorak, the Juggernaut in the comics possesses super strength and super stamina.

Super speed, invulnerability, self-healing ability, immortality, bio-field, power incarnation, and many other superpowers.

The Juggernaut in the movie only retains a weakened version of its super strength and power avatar, and it needs to rely on movement to accumulate energy.

After his accumulated energy was exhausted, he was no different from an ordinary person with a strong physique.

Unlike the heavily weakened Red Tank, the Nightwalker and the Hedgehog are treated better.

Nightwalker's abilities are not much different from those in the comics; they are still fast movement and the ability to sense other mutants.

As for the hedgehog man...

He is an original character in the cinematic universe.

Normally, as an original character, he should have a very impressive performance.

But the truth is quite the opposite.

The hedgehog man is a typical example of someone whose confidence outweighs his abilities.

His superpower is simple: he can instantly grow sharp spines like a hedgehog and use them to attack enemies in close combat.

From his first appearance to being broken into particles by the Dark Phoenix, his only achievement was a "sister-in-arms kill" with a female researcher in the lab.

Although his abilities weren't great, he was exceptionally confident.

When he first met the Fireman, he fearlessly grew spikes and threatened the Fireman.

If Magneto hadn't been there, Pyro would have definitely shown him what it meant to be "roasted like a hedgehog."

While Roy was sizing up Professor X and his two companions, Professor X and his companions were also sizing him up.

Professor X and his team didn't have Nightcrawler's sensory abilities and didn't realize he wasn't a mutant.

However, they were all drawn to Roy's Reincarnation Eye.

They didn't know what the Tenseigan was, but they were certain that Roy's eyes were extraordinary.

The moment Roy looked at them, they both instinctively felt an immense, almost tangible pressure.
