[Muscle Growth Nut]

Okay, while reading the X3 topic on the TV Alerts board, I read about an X-Men manga where Rogue absorbs the Juggernaut's powers and actually becomes muscular. Remembering that I had actually seen a tiny scan of one panel of the growth on some now-defunct Xoom (or whatever it's called now) site, years ago, I embarked on a search across the vast Google Fields to find some scans on an existing website. While I did not find the growth, I did find this:

I also learned that the manga issues are based upon episodes of the '90s cartoon, and based on this fact and the various cover scans I found in my search, I concluded that the Juggernaut-induced growth and the above scan are from the same issue, issue #16.

It's also worth mentioning that I saw the #16 cover at MileHighComics.com, and the issue is apparently available for ordering.

So, if anybody out there happens to either have this issue or know of a website that does, or has the spare dough to order the comic…

Here you go.  Warning: these are very tall images.  When I scanned the pages (a while ago), I pasted each sequence's scans together.

Wow, results in the first reply! Thanks, Rob! 😀

Ow!  Tall they are, nearly poked my eye on 'em . . . very cute, reminds me of the Marvel Mangaverse issues a few years back . . . 😀

And We Thank You For Sharing Your Efforts!  😎

Tall images?  Since when did anyone around here object to THAT?  😉

Cute Anime work + great Rogue + sharing = one boss forum post!  Thanks, Rob Triple-Zero!  😀

Cute manga X-Men. Nifty.  😆

Well, the latest issue of Ultimate X-Men came out today and there was another golden opportunity to draw a muscular Rogue thrown away by an artist.  Rogue came in contact with the Juggernaut several times and while she gained his strength and invulnerability, she did not gain his size and musculature.  😡

Needless to say, I put the book back on the shelf where it belonged.  😛

Now, now.  In fairness, Marvel has to keep consistant.  I mean, it's not as though Juggernaut's powers make HIM grow bigger and more muscular…
oh, wait…

OK, I am outraged.

And as you should – or as the old saying has it: only by voting with our wallets will the message get through.

Interestingly enough, Marvel doesn't seem to have that problem with other men receiving the physique of the Juggernaut (tsk tsk – and I thought sexism was frowned upon by them).  I recall one time that his old partner in crime Black Tom also gained it for a while and then there's the What If storyline of Professor X and not Cain Marko becoming the Juggernaut.

I'm almost positive each time another person has gained the size of Juggernaut as well as the power is because they had the ruby of cytorrak. The ruby itself gives you the size. His POWERS don't include that size(just his strength and invulnerability). Much like Captain/Ms.Marvel. She was superstrong, but she did not have a superbuff physique.

On top of that you're all being incredibly whiny.
