A towering myth in motion, Juggernaut now wears a nightmarish silhouette in the Age of Revelation. In Amazing X-Men #1, Cyclops’ mind travels ten years into the future where the team has split and operates from Revelation’s mutant nation. They teleport to Providence, the dominion of Darkchild, and Juggernaut appears as her demon knight, hoisting Illiana aloft with menacing tusks and jagged armor.
Unlike his long-standing stereotype as a straight-up bruiser, Juggernaut is tethered to demonic powers. He is the avatar of Cyttorak, a demon lord who fuels his force of destruction. The new look leans hard into horror elements, aligning him with the dark magic that has always been part of his origin.
Previous years saw him acting as a hero at times, fighting for mutant freedom. The Age of Revelation era repositions him as a potential wildcard, suggesting his loyalty could be swayed by Darkchild or by forces even less trustworthy than Revelation.
Where does his true allegiance lie? Is he a believer in Providence’s harsh regime, or did he escape Revelation only to fall under another master? The next issue will offer clues as Amazing X-Men #2 arrives and fans watch for his pivot in Magik’s orbit as her demon knight.
Amazing X-Men #1 is available now from Marvel Comics.
