Juggernaut vs Kalibak

Started by riv66723 pages

I think we've all been going with that, in which case the club, MB are still putting things on an even playing field.

Even enough yeah, but Kalibak can't get through that forcefield. MB might be able to but the only one to do it has been Thor and that involved Mjolnir negating the enchantment for about a minute. Beyond the forcefield Cain has energy attacks, and strength enough to hurt Kalibak. Plus without getting through the forcefield, he won't be able to remove his helmet and skullcap, making his TP worthless until/unless he gets through. And I believe at one point he shrunk the X-Men. I'm probably thinking of someone else though.

Not sure about that last, but everything else is square, which is why i went with Juggernaut.

Juggernaut

Cains force field wont protect him from mental attacks, and characters physically weaker than Kalibak have torn his helmet off. Once thats done, one bolt to the brain will defeat the Juggernaut.

A Super strong bruiser, with mental attacks (ala Despero or Martian Manhunter) are The Worst opponents for Cain to fight.

Doesn't look impressive? What? Also it took a point blank atomic bomb blast to KO him

This isn't necessarily that impressive though, it would put his durability far below Juggernaut's...or what I assumed Orion's durability was..

The force field isn't to stop mental attacks. It's to act as a forcefield, a barrier of energy between Cain and his opponent. Unless Kalibak has a way to negate the forcefield, he can't touch Cain, therefore he can't get to his helmet.

Bingo.

Is that why Archangel keeps snagging Cain's helmet? 😄

The forcefield is inconsistent. Generally the Juggernaut can be touched and punched just like anyone else, he just isn't actually hurt.

Can he fight with it actively up

When characters just magically bypass his Force Field and remove Juggs helm, its pure PIS; we've seen in fights against Thor how his Force Field/Helm are when handled sans PIS...

The Force Field is barrier between him and his opponent; you cant get to his helm without overcoming the Force Field...

Therefore, unless Kalibak has some way around the Force Field, Juggs will eventually win...

He has less showings with the forcefield than without it.

Sound reasoning.

Really? I'd have to see that from a viable third party to but it.
Still, just as i'm not assuming either character is behaving like a blithering idiot in this fight, i'm not assuming Juggernaut's force field is off, when picking a winner.

Thor fight deviates from the norm in quite a few areas, not just regarding Juggernaut.

a) Juggernaut needs his forcefield to be invulnerable.

b) Juggernaut relies on continuous input in order to have his powers (This one has been debated a lot).

c) Juggernaut still retains some super-strength/durability without his forcefield.

d) Thor had the 60 second rule outside of earth.

It's not a fight that's consistent with many of Juggernaut's other showings, good or bad. It certainly doesn't warrant a line of reasoning where Juggernaut is untouchable unless you get past his forcefield.

Thor fought Juggs twice and both showings are consistent with one another...

Thor's got more than two fight against him.

Well let me clarify; two one on one fights against Classic Juggs (the 1st started one on one before a superhero team helped him; Thor was weakened prior to the battle by Hela's curse however...the 2nd was one on one the entire fight though and Thor won by BFR).

Of course. Not many people have better durability then juggernaut. Its still impressive how he wrecked everyone in that issue though

I remember these fights fondly...
