True, but the same can be said for Superman. He has some insane durability feats to his credit that would draw in question the idea that Juggernaut could actually physically hurt him especially as his "weakness" to magic is portrayed inconsistently at best. Superman has come a long way since Doomsday was able to "kill" him particularly in terms of his durability and the rate of solar absorption. It may be possible for Juggy to drain him to the point where Juggernaut could start doing some serious damage, but given that Superman can fly through the heart of a red star I image it would take Juggy a very long time.

like i said earlier, juggie's invulnerability means that the tensile strength of his muscles is infinite. therefore, he has the potential to be the strongest comic book character ever
Do you have any on-panel evidence to back this up or is this just conjecture on your part? All the evidence I've seen puts Juggernaut in the 100 ton strength class around the level of Thor or the Hulk. And that is merely going by the characters he is able to hang with physically. Juggernaut just doesn't have that many strength feats when compared to Superman who has several that can only be described as insane. Lacking such evidence on the part of Juggernaut I'd be wary to say that he is stronger than Superman much less that he has the potential to have infinite strength. 😬

thor swings his hammer at light speed, and it doesnt even budge the juggernaut, let alone hurt him. that means that no matter how hard supes hits cain, he aint gonna feel it
Once again I agree, physical attacks are usually ineffective against Juggy. But the key here is that Superman has several methods to take down the rather one dimensional Juggernaut.

The point isn't that the cold temperature will hurt Juggernaut, but that they will immobilize him long enough by encasing him in ice for Superman to remove him from the battle field (ie throw him into space).

that aint gonna hurt him either
Again it isn't a matter of "hurting" Juggernaut, but of removing him from the battle field and thus winning the fight according to the rules of this forum.

in case you didnt know, supes is also vulnerable to sonic attacks
If I recall correctly, Superman is vulnerable to some one with super-strength punching him in both of his ears at the same time, but then again just about everybody is vulnerable to that to some degree. This is considerably different from Juggernaut who has been shown to have a weakness to a certain type of sonic attack.

then you obviously dont know the juggernaut...
Given his popularity and ability to attract some dedicated fans, I'd venture to say that just about everyone who has been around this forum for any significant period of time is very familiar with Juggernaut and the arguments typically used in his favor. The "problem" with Juggernaut, if it can be called that, is he lacks versatility and against a character like Superman, about whom it can safely be said that he has versatility coming out of his nether regions, such a deficiency is a major obstacle to overcome.
