Uncanny X-men 541

The rampaging Juggernaut continues in this issue. The Juggernaut in this issue is the most beautifully rendered ever as there are many close shots of juggernaut and the color is richly textured. There are a lot of nice close up shots of the X-men taking on Juggernaut. The story kicks off with Cyclops and the mayor planning on action to stop Juggernaut as he moves towards San Francisco.



The X-men plan is to remove Juggernaut's helmet so that Emma can penetrate and attack his mind. Cyclop's optic blast has no effect on Juggernaut and Colossus's tackle proves futile as Juggernaut whacks him into oblivion. Next is Magneto's turn and Juggernaut hurls his hammer at him. Magneto's magnetic power unable to stop the hammer and only the timely intervention by Kitty Pryde helped Magneto to phase through the hammer without hitting him.

Cyclops as a last resort decided to use Hope's power to harness all the mutant's powers at her disposal to take off Juggernaut's helmet. Hope succeeds in melting the helmet and taking it off, but Emma Frost is stunned that instead of her entering the mind of Juggernaut, it was hers that gets penetrated. Juggernaut's message of chaos and destruction is passed through one of his followers to both Cyclops and the mayor. Looks like there is no stopping Juggernaut from flattening the city of San Francisco.
