well since current juggernaut it back to his full power minus his armor and ultimate colossus got owned by ultimate juggernaut I give this to team two.
without the gem he is just an average man. If you mean with cyttorak withdrawing some of his power than team one may take this. Though i will keep faith in team two.
he doesn't actually have to be in possession of the gem for its power to take effect. Having it with him is just his way of protecting himself from being depowered. the only depowering he has ever had was when he joined the x-men while cyttorak was withdrawing his power due to juggernauts betrayal.
It isn't the wikipedia article it is the fact that 1) when the bus hit him all he did was look at his clothes and say "aww man" or something like that. 2) he powered through an optic blast with no pain whatsoever 3) at the same time he was powering through the blast he was going through jeans TK. when he was depowered he was no longer unstoppable but now he is again. His power (people think it is Cyttoraks way of advertising the power he has in the hopes someone will dethrone juggernaut and resume the position of exemplar of cyttorak) has returned so long live king juggernaut.
I've read most of the entire run and nothing was said he is back to full power, and he hasn't gotten rid of his armor yet. Basically all their fights so far the entire team has been in their street clothes.
Thanks King Mungi I haven't heard he was back to full power either...............nor have I seen anything that would lead me to believe that...............one showing with decent durability doesn't put the "crown" back on.
I didn't think so.
I realize that Juggy is popular with a good number of people on this site but I think they are making a bit of a stretch by claiming he has been fully restored to his original power when is hasn't been stated so in the comics.
I mean he doesn't even have his mystical armor or shield so why do they insist that he how somehow regained his strength and invulnerability? All the so called "evidence" is just fan speculation at best. I'm sure that if and when he gains his old powers back Marvel will make it perfectly clear that that has happened.

(sorry if i am sounding fanboyish) During the depowered stage, he was very much a stoppable man. Now he shows unstoppability again when he went through the TK and went throught the optic blast.
Thats not conclusive evidence of him being powered up again. Many powerhouses could shrug off being hit by a bus or plough through a tk hold (considering mutant tks often max out at around 10 to 15 tons lifting capacity) and they wouldnt have to be Classic Juggernaut level to do so.. I doubt hes ever going to be powered up again while hes a part of Excalibur because he'd be too powerful.
