Marvel - Dawn of Heroes

-A bar on one of the many long roads in Massachusetts-

The locals were having their regular night, a woman in cowboy attire was behind a wire mesh and singing country music whilst playing a guitar. The last thing that the inebriated patrons were expecting, when they heard the door open, was for an 8 foot tall man wearing red armour and a domed helmet to be stood there. They looked around and several fell off their chairs and the only sound heard from behind the wire mesh was an out-of-tune twang from the guitar and "Holy hell, lookit the size of him." The bar-man immediately looked at a "Super-Villains Warning Sheet" that he had gotten off the internet. One of the rows mentioned "Juggernaut" who was described as "8 foot tall and wearing red armour, as well as a domed helmet" The man took his helmet off and left it by the door.

"Now, look, Mr Juggernaut, I don't want no trouble." he said, looking up at the man (Who it was hard not to look up to, as he was a clear 2 foot taller than anyone else in the bar)

"And I don't want none." he replied with his thick british accent. "Just get me a beer." he said, placing 3 dollar notes on the bar. The bar-man looked at him, not moving. "Look, I don't care what type of beer, just get me something that's alcoholic and tastes like piss!" he snarled. The Bar-man didn't take his eye off the giant whilst walking to the fridge and putting grabbing a bottle of Budweiser, before putting it in front of Juggernaut. Juggernaut pushed the money towards the bar-man who looked down at it before looking up at Juggernaut again.

"It's on the house." he said. Juggernaut pushed the money further towards him.

"If you don't want me to flip out and wreck everything, you'll stop treating me as though I am going to and take the money." he growled. The bar-man snatched the money and shoved it in the till. Juggernaut sat down on a bar-stool which collapsed under his ultra-dense weight. He fell over with a loud thud that shook the bar. He growled before getting up and sitting on another one, this time, keeping his feet on the floor and only putting a tiny portion of his weight on it. A severely drunk patron that he was sat next to stared at him.

"30 years i've been coming here and you've never once given me one on the house." he said, staring angrily at the bar-man.

"That's because he's not afraid that you'll wreck the state if you get angry." Juggernaut replied. The drunk man looked at his beer and then back at the giant.

"Ooooh, i get it. You're one of them Super-villains." he said. "Like that Galactus Feller that tried to eat the world." The Bar-man stared daggers at the drunk guy.

"Zeb, shut-up." he seethed. Juggernaut took no notice of the bar-man.

"Summut like that." he replied to Zeb, taking a swig of his beer.

"So... How did you come decide you was gonna be evil and try to take over the world or destroy everything or whatever the hell your tryin' ta do?" he asked.

"Zeb, shut-up." repeated the Bar-man, he was sweating quite profusely at this point. Juggernaut looked at the bar-man.

"He asked a legitimate question. And if you can't share your backstory with a room full of drunk hicks, then who can you share it with?"

"AMEN TO THAT, BROTHER!" Came a call from across the room from another drunk patron.

"It all started when I was a kid, me and mum and dad... We were so happy back then... Well, up until she died."

"That's a shame." Zeb butted in.

"Well, after that, Dad went into seclusion and left me to my own devices. He grew really distant... That's when he met Sharon. Well, he wanted me to call her mum, but I called her Sharon. Always did... He married her and I got a new little brother. One from her previous marriage. Charles... Well, I called him Chucky, but he hated it... So, naturally, I kept calling him that." Zeb laughed a little, but Juggernaut continued. "We were the best of friends growing up. He did my homework, because he was so smart and I protected him from the school bullies, because they knew I was king of the playground. That's when dad started getting mean... Drunk and mean... He only married Sharon for the money, you see, and soon he had drank a large chunk of it away. Sharon killed herself due to the neglect and feeling like she betrayed Chucky's dad or some bollocks like that. So, dad started taking his anger out on me, because he didn't want to hurt his little prodegy... Can't deny, I did resent Chucky a little, but I decided that that we needed to stick together."

"So, who killed Chucky?" asked Zeb.

"What?" Juggernaut looked at Zeb.

"Who killed him? That's how these stories go. Someone killed your little brother, you got a taste for revenge and you've been tryin' to taste more ever since." Zeb said, before putting more money on the bar. "Bar-keep, more beer!" he called.

"Look, do you wanna tell the story?" asked Juggernaut. Zeb gesticulated that Juggernaut calm down and that he didn't mean any harm. "Anyway, I decided it was time to leave that old bastard to rot. I joined the army and went out to earn money. I was planning to secure some money, buy a house and get custody of Chucky when I came back. He was much younger than me. Well, one christmas, I come home... There's Dad and chucky. We have a nice chat, then dad goes away for a bit, comes back drunk and tries to hit Chucky. I sock 'im one and we got into a hell of a nasty fight. Of course, I was in the army and he was a drunk achademic. We all know who was going to win." there was a laughter of agreement.

"Hope you gave the sorry bastard what was coming to him" one yelled.

"Tell the truth, I fucking lost it that night. I nearly beat him to death... That's when Chucky stopped me... Turns out he was a Mutant." there was a chorus of disagreement.

"God damned mutants. It ain't natural." one called.

"That's my little brother you're talkin' about!" Juggernaut growled, the jeering quickly stopped. "So, anyway, he has these mind control powers. He made me stop and... Well, that's when I decided I wasn't having any of that. I left, didn't see him again for 10 years. Turns out that dad, the stupid prick, set fire to the house that night and burned to death." He raised his beer bottle. "Here's to you, dad, you useless waist of fucking skin." he downed the rest of the bottle.

"So... That was nice an' all," Zeb started "But this is startin' to sound like a Superhero story." Juggernaut looked at Zeb with the look of complete and utter bafflement.

"What on earth are you talkin' about?" he asked.

"Well, you got beaten as a kid, you loved your little brother, he got beaten and developed mind control powers, you set out to go save kids that had got the problems that you had, with your 'Pa and all that." Juggernaut shook his head and took no notice.

"Anyway, I became a merc. A pretty good one at that. Helped some of the locals in Kuwait, fought a couple of african warlords. The usual. Then 10 years down the line, who should show up but dear old Chucky. He hires me to be his bodyguard against some Cambodian bandits, because he wanted to visit some ancient temple in the middle of the ass end of no-where. Well, we go, I kill a few bad-guys, tried not to get personal with Chucky and just did the job. That's when we found the temple and my true birth into super-villainy arose. Picked up this weird Ruby... Turns out that that was a fragment of a very old, very angry, very powerful god. And we aren't talking about Thor or any of his lot, we're talking older and even more powerful. That's when I got this..." he gesticulated to the armour and his size.

"OOOOOH, so you aren't naturally that fuckin' big." Zeb said.

"No... It's all thanks to Cyttorak... Now I have to wreck things for him... That's it." Zeb looked at him with confusion.

"So... You get a say in the matter, otherwise you'd have plowed straight through here and taken all of the booze for y'rself." he said.

"I broke a lot of things... I decided I wasn't going to break anything else for him. He is making me do things I don't like."

"Well, then why are you a villain?" he said. "If you don't like this Kite-or-ak or whatever the fuck his name is, why are you bein' a villain? Surely the best way to piss him off is to start buildin' shit, 'stead of knockin' it down."

"Because when he gets angry, he keeps pestering me and pestering me until I can't stand it any longer and have to wreck things."

"So... You ain't a bad guy by choice... Hell, that don't make you a bad guy at all. That makes you one unfortunate son-of-a-bitch." Zeb said. Juggernaut stared into the empty bottle.

"Hmmm... Maybe..." he got up and threw some more money onto the bar, about $100.

"Wha... What's that for?" asked the Bar-man.

"This." Juggernaut replied as he punched his way through the wall of the bar and out onto the lonely street. Zeb started laughing until he fell of his chair. Juggernaut looked into the sky and exhaled loudly. "Damn... I can't keep this up forever..." he said. Punching that wall was all that had given him the strength he needed to not destroy the entire place. He then walked back and grabbed his helmet. "Sorry again, about the mess." He walked back out and looked down the roads. "Maybe I do need some help... Not yet." he said. He was determined to beat this thing on his own. He began to walk, then jog, then run, and as he started running, he found himself running faster and faster, until he was charging down the street, completely out of control, speeding across the state as an unstoppable force, trying to meet the immovable object.

Aliens VS Predator : Survivor

Ugly had been in the trophy chamber. She stared at the skull of the Ultimate Prey, the one that she herself had killed. It was a constant reminder that she was supposed to be one of them, that she deserved to be here among the honoured and the blooded. She heard the snarling clicking through her wrist-computer and sent back her reply that she would prepare.

Walking to her room, she looked around to see the [url=http://]Hound[/url] that she had trained was sleeping on her bed. It looked up at her and growled, before she growled back. It got off of her bed and curled up in the corner. She walked towards the armour and bowed before it, before beginning to don it. The ancient helmet that barely fit her. She put it to her head and the technologies within it attached itself to her face. Then, she pulled on the body-harness that held her gear. Attaching the Plasma Caster, a few taps of her wrist computer later and she looked around to find that the caster was now tracking things, locking onto the hound that slept at the foot of her bed. The caster then retreated into its holster. She picked up the Chakram and put it on her hip, before grabbing the extremely long bladed Shuriken. The next weapon was the Whip, which she attached to her belt and finally, the Combi-Stick that she extended, before rescinding it and placing it on her back.

She petted the hound as she left. She would not need it, she suspected that they would be descending via Drop-Pod. She passed several young-bloods on her way down to the pods. It was comforting watching the unblooded as they were the only ones that showed her true respect. Regardless of whether she was Yautja or not, they respected those who could kill an Ultimate Prey in single combat. In fact, the more that she heard tales of the humans, the more she had come to respect their abilities as warriors. The legend of "The King of the Concrete Jungle" who had bested a blooded in single combat, The legendary "Dutch Schaefer" who was the first of the humans to defeat them, had returned (Through some kind of human science) and was now working with a pair of Yautja and a human female against the ultimate prey.

She arrived at the hangar and awaited the huntmaster to arrive so that they may descend and begin the hunt.

Aliens VS Predator : Survivor

Sorry for not posting yet, Internet crapped out for a while, I'm gonna write up an intro now.

Marvel - Dawn of Heroes

AIN'T NUFFIN' CAN STOP THE JUGGERNAUT!!!



Your Name: Mattmanganon
Character Name: Cain Marko
Character Alias: Juggernaut
Character Allignment: Walking The Line / Villain (Has no real evil thoughts, he just has an insatiable lust for destruction.)
Character Appearance: Cain is a monolith of a man, approximately 8 foot tall with muscles each the size of beach-balls. He has short black hair and deep brown eyes. He is always seen wearing a large dome-like helmet and a crimson armour.
Characters Abilities:

Avatar of Cyttorak - Being possessed by the spirit of Cyttorak, the God of Destruction, Juggernaut has become a tool of pure, unadulterated destruction. These powers include:

Super Strength - Having become somewhat a Demi-God, he is easily able to lift over 300 tons over his head and throw it.

Super Speed - Although it takes him approximately 5 seconds to get from 0-60mph, he has no definable top speed. He seems to get faster and faster the more he runs. So far, he his highest recorded speed clocked in at 160mph.

Super Durability - In order to accomplish the arduous task of causing destruction to feed Cyttorak, he was granted nae-invulnerability. Although he is capable of being worn down by fatigue, breaking his skin is almost impossible.

Unstoppable - As the name "Juggernaut" might imply, he is somewhat unstoppable. Once he gets up to speed, there is almost nothing that can slow his momentum by force. He can plow straight through a solid mountain without losing a single bit of his speed. Of course, this can be used against him, as if he is going too fast, he will find trouble stopping himself.

Conduit of The Crimson Cosmos - Juggernaut is a conduit of the Crimson Cosmos, a dimension of pure energy, built to contain Cyttorak. The Crimson Gem that is fused with his soul constantly is linked directly with the Crimson Cosmos and floods his body with its mystical energy, this means that, so long as the Crimson Cosmos has energy, so does Juggernaut. Thanks to this link, the energy constantly regenerates his human bodies cells. He never needs to eat, sleep or drink, although he can if he wishes to. And on the very rare occasions that his body is damaged, he will be completely healed within hours. This link is also what provides him with his armour, known as the Crimson Cosmos Armour, which is indestructable, easily able to deflect blows from the likes of Hulk and Thor with relative ease.

Weaknesses

Magic - As his power comes from magic, also does his bane come from it. Non-Magical constructs he can plow through as though it weren't there, but magical constructs will give him difficulty if they are of a strong enough nature.

Psionic Attack - As indestructable his physical form is, his spiritual and mental form are offered no such protection. A powerful psionic can easily get inside his head and shut him down the way they could any other human. However, this weakness is mitigated by his helmet, which, whilst on, makes him invulnerable to such attacks.

Characters Skills:

Tactical Thinking - As powerful as Juggernaut is, he still retained his training from his army days and knows a great deal about ambush tactics. Most enemies are caught completely off-guard when he actually starts setting up ambushes, thinking he is nothing but a brainless brute.

Origin Story: Born as the only biological son of Dr Kurt Marko, Cain was a relatively happy child until the age of 5, when his parents divorced and he was forced to live with his father. After his fathers scientific research partner, Dr Brian Xavier, died, Dr Marko quickly grew close to his widowed wife and within the year they had married. He had always wanted a younger brother and for a time, things seemed good... But soon, due to a breakdown in his research, his father began to turn to alcoholism. Neglected, heartbroken and married to a man that only wanted her for her money, Sharon Xavier took her own life when Cain was only 7 years old and Charles only 4. Cain and Charles were regularly beaten by him. Although Cain would stand up for his little brother, regularly coming to blows with his father, which resulted in further beatings. In school, Cain and Charles were polar opposites. Charles was a genius, a perfect student, whilst Cain was struggling to get so much as a "You Tried" star-sticker from his own teacher. Cain grew into a thug, although woe-betide any other bully that picked on Charles (Whom he lovingly nick-named "Chucky")

When Cain was 17 years old, he joined the Army, just glad to get away from his father, with the intention of coming back for his younger brother after a few tours to hopefully get him away from their father. After serving a tour in Germany for 6 months, Cain returned for a few weeks on leave to visit Charles. It took less than 4 hours before he came to blows with their father in his lab. Having received army training and fighting a scientist that had spent 3 years of no exercise and constant alcohol abuse, Cain easily bested his father, but couldn't seem to stop himself, just punching his father over and over. Charles, who's powers had developed by this point, used them to stop Cain before he killed Dr Marko. Cain, feeling violated, retreated to his room. Dr Marko stumbled back into his lab, but unfortunately, due to some spilled chemicals during the fight, the lab caught fire and Dr Marko was killed.

Cain was given Grievance leave and looked after his brother for a year, very rarely talking with him. He had felt utterly violated and became scared of what Charles could do. Soon, this fostered into a soft loathing and resentment for what his brother could do and after a fight, which Charles used his mental powers to win, Cain left home.

Cain dropped off the radar for some time, he wasn't seen again by the civilized world until many years later when Charles formed an expedition to visit an ancient ruin in Cambodia. He managed to track down his older Step-Brother and hired him to protect them from the bandits and guerrilla fighters that made the mountains their home. Although the brothers were able to talk on the trip, not much was established, communication wise, beyond Cains acceptance that his brother could do things that Cain himself never could. It was at the temple that Cain found a glowing ruby that spoke into his soul and told him to grab it. Powerless before the gem of a god, he grabbed it and was consumed by power, transforming into the massive, hulking Juggernaut. It was at this point that Xavier tried to reason with his older brother, but it was no use. Destroying the temple on the way out, Juggernaut went on monstrous rampage across Europe.

It wasn't until Britain, his and Charles' homeland, came under deep threat from an attempt from a shady orginization (Whom they never found out was actually the not-so-defunct HYDRA) that Cain was given his sanity back. Gathered by Merlin, all of the greatest of British super-powered individuals were brought together to become a force to protect the British Isles from all threats. Charles and Cain were brought in to assist Captain Britain, Psylocke, Nightcrawler and Shadowcat. After the crisis was averted, Charles and Cain sat down and talked things out. Charles offered to help him get rid of Cyttorak, but Cain ultimately refused, he wasn't quite ready to let Charles into his head just yet.

After going to America, Cain has been once again consumed by the rage of Cyttorak and forced to destroy.

Story Arcs:

Attempted Self Control - Britain may be safe now, but America just got a hell of a problem. Cain is attempting to bring the Gem of Cyttorak under control by himself, but as the many superheroes of America find out, his plan isn't going so well.

The Brothers Reunite - After having been beaten and stopped on multiple occasions by the heroes of America, Cain decides that it is time, he visits Charles and takes him up on his offer to try and quell the insatiable need for destruction.

Juggernaut of the X-Men - Having regained his sanity to the point where he can control himself, he wants to put his power to good use, now becoming Chucky's defender once again, just like in school.

Man or Monster? - The lack of destruction on Cain's part is starting to anger Cyttorak and now, Cain is starting to lose his power. Soon, Cain will be just a regular human again... But does he truly want to give up his power?

Kuurth, Breaker of Stone - When the 7 Hammers of The Serpent are sent to earth, they call on Earth's 7 mightiest warriors. During which time, Cain is called by one. To compliment his already nae-invulnerability and boundless strength, he has a magic hammer, not too disimilar to Mjolnir that grants him EVEN more power.

J2 - HE HAS A SON?!?!?!?! Ok, it's a son from a parallel universe, but still, this is weird and freaky.

Supporting Cast:

Charles Xavier: His younger Stepbrother and formerly his best friend in the world. He now runs the Xavier Institute for Higher Learning, as well as The X-Men.

Captain Britain: A former member of Excalibur, the two actually do keep in touch.

Psylocke: A Mutant, former member of Excalibur and Captain Britains younger sister. Although she see's him as naught but a muscle-bound meathead, she nonetheless respects his power.

The X-Men: A typical thorn in his side. He understands that he can't just be allowed to destroy everything, but he still finds them incredibly annoying for attacking him whilst he's trying to destroy things.

Aliens VS Predator : Survivor

Photo : Unfortunately, no real life pictures of apprentices exist so this was the closest I could find.



Name : Formerly Pyode, but after her blooding, she became known as "Ugly Motherfucker"
Race : Human Apprentice
Brief Bio : Born to human parents on the remote colony of RUR-412, she was orphaned at the age of just 3 months when a Xenomorph infestation overran the colony. The first on the scene were the Yautja, or Predators as the humans nicknamed them. Sobik and his mate, Jashan were followed the sounds of something until they found the crying child. Sobik's first instinct was to put the small creature out of its misery, but Jashan had recently lost their baby to disease and her maternal instincts were strong. Much to her mates chagrin, she adopted the young one as hers. Growing up within the tribe, the girl was a pariah, only truly appreciated by her mother.

Sobik opposed her going through the Blooding trail, but it was her right as a member of their tribe. Her first hunt saw her travel back to RUR-412 to the ancient Yautja temple that the colony had been set up to study, making it through the many trials within, she was able to kill her first Ultimate Prey with her spear and retrieved the ancient mask and weapon. Taking the Ultimate Prey's corpse back to the tribe, she cut open its tail and marked her forehead with the tribes symbol in front of everyone. The Elder of the tribe gave her her blooded name on that day. As they understood it, it was the Human term for "Powerful Warrior" but she became known as "Ugly Motherfucker" Now, she has gone with her father to find and hunt the ultimate prey.

Hey, @Belle I don't suppose you'd accept a Female Predator or even a Predator Apprentice? (A human that gets taken by the Yautja to learn their ways, is given their sacred armour and weapons and allowed to hunt as they do.)
