“The Unstoppable Juggernaut”
Easy as it is to give Jean flack for sleeping on the job, it’s just as easy to forget how utterly unstoppable a force Cain Marko is usually depicted as being. In “The Unstoppable Juggernaut,” it takes the combined efforts of the X-Men to take the evil mutant down, but the bulk of the burden falls to Rogue and Jean—and their reactions are completely justified. After absorbing a portion of the Juggernaut’s power, Rogue flies off in a fit of unhinged screaming, presumably because she can’t handle the mystical energies that give Cain his powers. When Jean faints after finally getting at the man’s mind, it’s not because she’s being lazy or anything, it’s just that he’s the Juggernaut, and there weren’t any other psychics lending a hand at the time.
