In this week's multiverse, we return to the pages of What If to see the post-apocalyptic world ruled over by Charles Xavier as the Juggernaut. It's Professor X with brain and brawn as he battles Magneto, Cyclops, Jean Grey and a non-powered Cain Marko. We also explore the Juggernaut's first appearance in 1965 and discuss how Charles and Cain's relationship has evolved over time with special guest James Enstall of Geek to Me Radio.

Ep. 90 What if Professor X (Charles Xavier of the X-Men) had become the Juggernaut?
With Special Guest James Enstall of Geek To Me Radio
Earth-905 as seen in What If Vol. 2, #13

It's a post-apocalyptic dictatorship where mutants rule and humans are hunted down. Who rules over this dark timeline? It's Professor Charles Xavier but with the powers of the Juggernaut! Possessing both mind and body supremacy, this twisted Professor X battles his former X-Men, Magneto and his step-brother Cain Marko for control over the planet in this week's alternate universe from the mind of comics legend Kurt Busiek! We also go back to 1965 to revisit the Juggernaut's first appearance courtesy Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Alex Toth and explore how Cain and Charles' relationship has evolved over time with X-Men Legacy from Mike Carey and Philippe Briones. We also discuss what makes Juggernaut such a great character, whether we like him as a villain or an anti-hero and what we'd like to see from a future film version.

We were thrilled to be joined by special guest James Enstall from Geek To Me Radio for this trip. Follow James & Geek To Me Radio via their website.
