If Juggernaut is famous for one thing, it's existing as Marvel's most unstoppable force, and taking every opportunity to prove it. Now with some help from his fellow X-Men, Juggernaut has unleashed the final form of his powers by becoming a living railgun.
X-Men #2 by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman features the team doing battle against a psychic alien invasion created by a new reality-warping mutant. As the ground team of Cyclops, Magik, and Psylocke fight against the invaders, Quentin Quire hatches a plot with Juggernaut to take aim at the mothership. Or, take aim at the mothership with Juggernaut, to be more accurate.
Temper loads Juggernaut inside a device called the Mass-Driver, using her powers to handle the excess heat while Quentin takes aim, and accelerates the mass of Juggernaut to ballistic levels, firing him through the ship like a bullet. He soars through the air and destroys the mothership, while the ground team marvel at seeing Beast’s human railgun in action and comment on his amusement.
The Juggernaut Becoming A Living Bullet Makes Perfect Sense
This attack makes perfect sense for the Juggernaut, as his unstoppable nature makes him the perfect projectile weapon. Provided the aim is true, what the X-Men have is a bullet which can penetrate any target with ease, regardless of distance or defenses. The idea of firing the Juggernaut out of a gun takes his mantra of being unstoppable to the next level, and epitomizes his powers as a truly unstoppable force without equal in the Marvel Universe, since the energy used to power the railgun gives him even more force to be launched with.

Juggernaut is one of the most physically imposing villains in the Marvel Universe, but the true reason he became so terrifying is heartbreaking.
Juggernaut's Ultimate Form is Built On The X-Men's Greatest Strength
As one of the largest superhero teams in the Marvel Universe, the X-Men are no strangers to special attacks, such as the famous Fastball Special. Using Beast’s Mass Driver to fire the Juggernaut out of a railgun follows in the footsteps of these special attacks, as it emphasizes the ways that the X-Men play off one another. They’re a team with a tightly-knit bond and immense trust in one another, which makes moments like this that much more special when the X-Men work together.
Firing the Juggernaut out of a railgun serves as one of the most impressive feats in his history, taking his powers to the next level and turning him into something truly unstoppable. It cements his status as one of the X-Men’s most powerful heavy hitters and also reaffirms his status as a fully fledged member of the team. While he has always been a powerhouse, turning him into a living railgun pushes him into his peak potential.
X-Men #2 is available from Marvel Comics.
