Actually, it's pretty common knowledge that if you can jerk Juggie's (no, no, not Archie comics... I've been listening to Stan Lee too much) helmet off, he's vulnerable... people have been doing it for years (why doesn't he put a saftey pin on it?). Even a Chicago Bears running back could do it on a good day. So I guess he loses because he's dumb; or maybe because he's evil and the X-Men are good. Just like real life. "I'm not dead yet!"

So, Spidey wound up encasing him in the concrete foundation of a new building, reasoning that after the concrete hardened the Juggenaut would not be able to get up any momentum, so being "unstoppable" wouldn't help. I forget how he said he got out to fight Colossus. Mike Ciaraldi ciaraldi@rochester seismo!rochester!ciaraldi

Juggernaut welded his helmet onto his armor - it restricts his field of vision, but it's never coming off again. Nothing can stop him now. The X-Men are doomed! (sorry, got carried away...) Which is not to say Wolverine couldn't pop a claw through the eye-slot. I'm looking forward to it. Carl, President of the Deadly Midget Fan Club ..!ctvax!uokvax!lmaher

<bug-defeater line firmly welded into place> The interesting thing about ol' Juggie-naught having his helmet welded on is that he appeared in the "Beat up Colossus to punish him for Jim Shooter's *u**ing-up his personality" issue and he WASN'T WEARING his costume. I assume this means he can tear loose the helmet when he wants to. By the way, I believe he got out of the muck Spidey put him into via an old, oft-forgotten trick: the Juggernaught can emit waves of repulsive force (NO wisecracks!) which eventually cracked the concrete.
