[edit] Plot
An archaeologist discovers a tablet. He reads the tablet, and on it, it says that the Ruby of Cyttorak will give powerful powers and immortality. Just then, Juggernaut is stopping traffic saying "I'm gonna get you for this, Charles!" Juggernaut then steals a car from a taxi driver and the police are in pursuit of him.
Back at the mansion, Professor X sees what's happening and calls Beast to the War Room. He calls all the X-Men back. However, Juggernaut has already made it to the mansion. He is rampaging through the mansion and trying to find Professor X. He breaks through the floor and makes it in to the Danger Room where Professor X has turned on the simulation. Juggernaut isn't fooled and he is destroying the War Room when the archaeologist from the beginning finds the Ruby of Cyttorak and touches it, stealing Juggernaut's power and giving the archaeologist all of it. Rogue and Storm finally arrive, and Professor X explains how all his power is gone. They find Juggernaut under the rubble and he is in the infirmary. Beast explains that Juggernaut is losing his strength because of his absence of powers. Because of this, Professor X says that he must get his powers back.
On the Blackbird, Cyclops and Wolverine hear the news, surprised and are looking for the new Juggernaut. The new Juggernaut, however, is adjusting to his powers.
Professor X is probing the old Juggernaut's mind, and it goes back to his memory, where he always used to pick on Professor X. Professor X also discovers that the old Juggernaut hates him because he thinks that Professor X was the reason he was forced to go to boarding school, and that Professor X's step dad never was in love with his mother and never cared for him at all. He was just there for the money.
The new Juggernaut is at a club, trying to pick up a lady, when Cyclops and Wolverine intervene. He drops the Ruby and Wolverine and Cyclops escapes with it. Back at the mansion, the Ruby is ready to be used, but Professor X probes the original Juggernaut's mind once more. He asks what happened when he returned from the boarding school. He returned, and Professor X read his mind, and Juggernaut thought that his dad liked Professor X better. This is when Juggernaut discovers his power and turns everyone against him.
Professor X puts the Ruby in his step-brother's hand and the power goes back to him. The original Juggernaut is back, and he throws the Ruby in to the outer reaches of space, but he chooses not to fight with the X-Men, walking out, which Professor Xavier muses is his way of thanking them for saving his life.
