Info: Reprint of X-Men #32
Title: Beware the Juggernaut, my son!
By: Roy Thomas
Artist: Gil Kane
Synopsis #32: It’s Bobby Drake’s birthday and the X-Men are having a good time at the Coffee A Go-Go, along with Zelda, Vera and Candy, until the party is crashed by a gang of bikers. Their leader, Rocky Rhodes, is angry about Zelda having refused to date him. Not able to use their powers openly, the five mutants still find a way to subdue the bikers and continue their evening. Scott and Jean finally open up a little to each other, Scott revealing his fears of accidentally hurting a loved one and Jean offering her support in any way. Warren really feels for Candy and reminds himself to take it slow, as he isn’t fully over Jean yet. Back at the mansion, Xavier is attempting to cure his stepbrother, Cain Marko, by leeching off his Juggernaut powers with a special machine using his own mental energies to empower it. The experiment fails, the machine exploding, and, as Xavier is rendered comatose, the Juggernaut finds himself alive and well, plus the Professor’s mental power transferred to him. Sensing the X-Men gone, he prepares a set of traps for them. Later that night, when they return, they find the mansion dark and Xavier not responding. They search the house, only to eventually end up in the basement, where the Juggernaut attacks them. One by one, the X-Men are knocked out, until he stands triumphant. Just as he intends to wreck the house to bury the X-Men alive, he finds himself mentally contacted by Factor Three, who reveal the machine malfunctioning being their doing and inviting to join them. Realizing the enormous power this organization must have, the Juggernaut agrees and departs for the next airport. As the X-Men come around, they take the comatose Xavier to the mansion’s infirmary, only to learn that there is nothing they can do for him. Instead, they plan to pursue the Juggernaut.
