Awesome Arena - Juggernaut vs. The Blob

The dust has completely settled in the Awesome Arena since the closing rounds of the Tournament of Evil. A couple weeks ago, a co-worker asked me who would win in a battle between two of the Marvel heavyweight villains and I came to the conclusion that there was really only one way to settle it once and for all. The gates of the arena have been opened up once again and this time it’s Marvel’s Juggernaut taking on Marvel’s Blob in a winner-take-all battle to the death. Both combatants will need your help to come out on top but first, let’s learn a little bit more about them.

Awesome Arena Exhibition Match: Juggernaut (Marvel Comics) vs. Blob (Marvel Comics)

Combatant #1 - Juggernaut

Comic Debut:
X-Men #12 (July 1965)

Background:
Juggeranut, also known as Cain Marko, is the stepbrother of Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men. Marko is portrayed, in his initial appearance, as having been an angry, greedy bully as a child. In his later appearances, it becomes clear that Marko was also bullied by his older, larger schoolmates and physically abused by his father. Along the way, he developed a strong hatred of Xavier as coming from his resentment over how Charles used his powers. While serving together in the Korean War, Cain and Charles stumbled onto the ancient temple of Cyttorak, lost for centuries. On an altar Cain saw the Crimson Gem of Cyttorak, and immediately grabbed it. Upon the gem was an inscription, and he read it aloud. When Cain grabbed it, the cavern collapsed. Charles was able to escape, but it took Cain years to dig himself out. Upon escaping, he sought revenge on Xavier as the unstoppable Juggernaut.

Powers / Abilities:
- Superhuman strength, stamina, and durability
- Regenerative healing factor
- Force field generation

Combatant #2 - Blob

Comic Debut:
X-Men #3 (January 1964)

Background:
Born in Lubbock, Texas, Fred J. Dukes started out as a member of a circus sideshow under the name “the Blob”. He was contacted by Charles Xavier, who told him that he (Dukes) was a mutant. Blob was then asked to join the X-Men. Upon his arrival at the mansion, the other X-Men disliked Dukes for his obnoxious attitude. The Blob then changed his mind and refused Xavier’s invitation, stating that was better than the other X-Men. When Xavier tried to erase Blob’s mind of what has transpired, the Blob escaped. After gathering up the other members of his circus crew, Blob and company attacked the X-Mansion… unsuccessfully.

Powers / Abilities:
- Superhuman strength, endurance, durability and resilience
- Personal gravity field
