    It's not mutants-based but X-Men based (Dakens aren't boosted either). DP being part of X-Force grants him entry

    Juggernaut isn't a mutant. His power is magical.

    Unless they've substantially changed Juggs' origins, the source of his power is magical rather than DNA.

    I'm dissapointed, though, I enjoy playing a boosted CMags.

    But he was a member of X-Men for some time.

    Yes he was, thurally confused me when I saw it, I had not picked up an issue in years and was one of the first ones I had seen.

    Juggs is also Prof. X's stepbrother.

    I did not know that, but I believe it. They were leading up to that even in the 80s. I remember an issue in the Uncanny X-Men (at the time, the only X-title. I know, right? Boggles the mind,) in the late 100s. It was right after Secret Wars and Collosus was being a whiny brat because the alien girl he had fallen in love with (and put his budding romance for Kitty aside for) had been killed and so Peter picked a fight with Cain, who was just minding his his own business in a bar somewhere. Meanwhile Wolverine just kind of rolled his eyes, shook his head, and thought "Peter, you dumbkitty." Fun issue.

    But anyway, even then they were kind of leading up to Juggs being not all bad, just easily manipulated and way too powerful.

    Actually, regarding that budding romance - I remember reading somewhere that the Editor in Chief at the time (Jim Shooter, IIRC) decided that it was completely inappropriate because of Kitty's age - I think she was 13 at the time - so he told the writers to put in something to mess it up. He was probably right - looking back I think it's pretty awful to have a superhero at that age in general. Seriously, you're going to send high schoolers to fight Magneto?!? Prof X should have been arrested for Child Endangerment.

    I have it on good authority that Professor X is, in fact, a jerk.
