SubjectHas Juggernaut's history been rewritten? Reply to this message

At least do the movie according to canon.

Avengers Unlimited cartoon had the Hulk picking up Thor's hammer via strength
- a major no-no.

The Juggernaut is not a mutant - he has invulnerability due to his headpiece,
which was magical in nature.

I'd rather go watch the DaVinci Code again.
